This is the first real zinger for me personally. Even Willis I can shrug off, but Gill I really did not want to lose.,

 

[Hawknate144]

yeah, but such is life, I'm not going to act like the sky is falling

 

[DocFlanders]

Hope Fran has stuff lined up, which I really think he does…most portals so far are not bad though but death by a thousands paper cuts lingers nearby

If we land the 2 guys that Boobie responded to, this will hurt less. But, it would have been nice to see a guy start and end here. Especially with the growth Gill has shown.

Can’t really compare kids who haven’t produced stats to a proven guy.

There's getting to be very little point to following the careers or getting to know the players. It feels like real life and video game have reversed. I used to toss to WR#8 in the video game but watch Harrison in real life, now the name is real in the video game and the guy on the actual field is just a number to me. Sad.

The money available in the Portal is insane. He will get more cash from a new team then he will get from the Cuse. This could be life changing money for some of these kids. The game is all about managing the Portal now..

 

[Archbold44]

This is a loss. Could we have kept others if we knew he was bolting?

This is also why you do not throw away even one game.

True, but the potential is there. Those two, in particular, seem to replace Hornsby and Ross. Gill is definitely a loss. But WR, despite the departures, has a lot of talent and will gain more talent from the portal.

Agreed. A school like Syracuse may have to thrive by trading proven production for potential, year after year.

Unproven talent is the problem. Cook is good but nobody else yet has proven to be a reliable receiver or some haven’t even started college. Our offense was good last year pre angeli injury outside of the o-line.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Nothing to see here. Fran has a plan everything is fine. This is normal these days you guys just don’t understand the modern game. We will replace in the portal.

 

[Cusefan69]

So no bueno but let's also see what shakes out also. This could be a leverage play for some money also and could come back. Lots of puts and takes.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

Gill struggled after Steve went down. This loss definitely hurts, but it is what it is. Now it’s time to reload through the transfer portal and the high school recruiting class coming in.

 

[cusefan88]

There's no point in living and dying with every portal transfer. See where things shake out and root for the team that is assembled in August. Crappy but the way things are.

Go root for Ohio State

In August, everyone is a star.

 

[Archbold44]

Go root for Ohio State

Or any of the 134 other FBS schools that have coaches that will not quit on a season. Fran put himself in a bad situation. He has to be accountable.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Go root for Ohio State

Why? I root for Syracuse

 

[phil77]

Yawn

He is, but Ithaca was hammering him when we went 10-3. He clearly doesn’t like the guy no matter what. So, go root for a team who wins 13 games or so every year.

Tyshawn Russell played for us last season before his injury, and he and Cook return as experienced contributors. Younger guys like Darien Williams and Gabe Daniels also logged plenty of snaps and reps last year. The sky isn’t falling, but it’s definitely raining after this loss.

Every coach will always have 5+% of the fans that will always say we should have hired another guy. You rarely start with 100%.

Ouch and Welp.
