Cruz

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

We need 5-6 guys like that.

If we did we would have 5 or 6 guys a week ruled out due to an "upper body injury" w no further explanation

Is he getting NIL money from that tailgate? Awkward spot for the organizers. I wouldn’t be surprised if he lost his scholarship. Pretty egregious to swing at the back of another player’s head.

I would be so embarrassed posting this if I were you.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I agree. I‘d swing at someone too if they spit in my face.

You mean the one who spit in his face?

As a member of the committee that voted to give money to Enrique, I can tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about. The only awkwardness here comes from you and your uninformed, clueless post.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Enrique to lose his scholarship. The punk on BC who started the altercation might get further discipline though……

The TV coverage didn’t even show the altercation at all live, but they showed a replay shortly after that clearly shows the BC player spitting. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE watching at home that was actually paying attention could clearly see the BC player spit at Cruz before Cruz reacted.

I give the benefit of the doubt to anyone at the game because it may not have been that easy to see. But hopefully if they were harsh towards EC post game, they’ve now corrected their position after seeing the replay.

I am one of those who stand corrected. I was furious with Enrique after he threw those punches. But after hearing about what actually happened, I fully and completely understand why Enrique did what he did. And I absolutely feel horrible for him.

He was obviously genuinely upset as he walked off the field ...not in an angry way, but regretful for the whole situation

He'd been beaten on a few plays, then this happened and the frustration boiled over. He should feel bad he let the emotions get the best of him. Forgivable considering the circumstances

 

[JRHEETER]

I, too was upset with Enrique after seeing the fight.

However, after hearing the stories about what happened to him and fans at the game, I understand why he did it.

He got an ejection and he will surely learn from this situation

He was clearly upset with himself as he left the field.

 

[kcsu]

Good for Cruz. I wish he would've broken the kids face who spit on him. Id double his NIL.

 

[tep624]

He was clearly upset with himself as he left the field.

He looked like he was crying to me as he walked off. He reacted in the moment in a way I suspect most of us would and regretted it.

 

[bigmike]

Need to let this go. He’s a good kid by all accounts who made an impulsive mistake. I for one don’t think he will make a similar mistake again.

 

[ImperialOrange]

#6 is a dirty player. He was in on a lot of stuff all night long. On the play before the spit, he puts one of our OL in a headlock.

He also went high in Shrader (thank you) and changed the momentum of the game.

And then after the game he sucker punches one of our guys.

#6 is a punk *****. He was all night and especially there. If you spit in another man's face you deserve whatever life serves you.

Hopefully he's not a senior and the dome treats him properly next year. Signs everywhere talking the absolute worst **** about him that one could imagine

 

[Consigliere]

Good for Cruz. I wish he would've broken the kids face who spit on him. Id double his NIL.

Donations for next year are now open.

 

[dooey139]

I'd bet he'll do some extra running at practice but that should be it for discipline in my eyes.

 

[David321]

I’m about as peaceful as someone can be and if someone spit in my face I can’t see reacting any other way than he did, probably worse actually. Expecting him to let that roll off his back really isn’t reasonable imo, the young man is not a robot.

 

[MikeSU02]

Saw that, too. Bounce back, have a good bowl game, use it as a spring board for next year. And #6 on BC can go kick rocks.

Yeah, I'd never condone punching someone on the field, but I will gladly state that I understand the reaction and wouldn't think that I would react and differently, especially being 18 or 19 years old.

 

[GreekFreak]

It will be very telling about Hafley and the BC Administration to see what, if any, repercussions #6 gets for the multiple incidents that he initiated during and after the game.

 

[David321]

Does anyone know who the commentators were for the game? They blamed SU and the flag planting for the entire thing (which makes no sense). I’m guessing Boston homers?

Tom Werme, James Bates & Wiley Ballard did the game.

Werme is a Syracuse grad.

Bates played linebacker for Florida. He really like the chowder served in the press box and that might have made him root for BC.

Thought Werme was okay. He is a vanilla announcer to me. Nothing great, nothing awful.

Bates got player numbers confused, made statements and took them back and seemed confused most of the time. I don't remember him making making astute observations or providing any good insights into what was going on. Color analysts who don't provide analysis are not my cup of tea.

I think this is typical for him and is why he is on the Q team for ESPN college football.
