Maybe some are doing that but I see this as much like a mid-season big win. Take a day to celebrate then get working on the next challenge. If Dino is as successful over the next few years as we're hoping, he'll get some great offers. 'We' need to get working on even more reasons for him to stay.I will never understand the mentality of sh#tting on great news. If the time ever comes, you'll have plenty of room and company to moan and groan. But now? All for a possible "I told you so" moment down the line? You have to be a real miserable b#stard to indulge in that kind of thinking.
How about the, " you can't win at Syracuse threads" Money, facilities, private school, weather, ECT... I always felt it was BS and if we got the right guy here he could bring us back, of course I had the advantage of being in the Dome from 87 to 98.
I did not mean to imply he was definitely getting $4 million per year just that I had someone tell me in the morning that Babers was extending his contract and that was what was said to me in terms of the salary. Then later in the day the extension was announced. Will be curious to see what SU is paying Babers when their financials are released in 2019.Fake news
Yup.
I think this contract closes the door on a lateral move. Only 1-2 jobs are going to open up annually that he'd actually consider. The odds are no longer stacked against us. My gut tells me if he leaves its for the NFL.
Well, he has stated publicly and unequivocally that he has absolutely no interest in the NFL. Never has, never will. Feels his coaching style and offensive and defensive philosophies simply don't fit.
Didn't someone else post a few weeks ago that Paul Finebaum said he wouldn't stay at Syracuse either. Like to hear his thoughts on that today.
Actually the SEC should have got 4 teams and 3 NY 6 choices. TUA should get 4 Heismans pre chosen till 21.Easy. His thoughts are: Alabama, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Alabama, SEC, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, Tua got robbed of the Heisman, SEC should have 3 teams in the playoffs, Alabama, Alabama, Georgia, Alabama.
Real talk here, does season ticket numbers go up by the thousands? I would expect a solid increase, I wonder how much though? Syracuse community needs to start supporting more. We already have such a homefield advantage with 40k people. But adding that extra 5-7k makes this one of the top 5 hardest places to play in the country IMO. I am hoping that the fair weather fans really start showing up. In my life I’ve never witnessed a sold out carrier dome. And that’s all I ask for. I really hope to see that soon.Screw the buyout threads..
Lets pick up where we left off with 2019 attendance threads in 2018. We’re about to average 40 a game

If we don't stub our toe early next year you will see one for Clemson next year. I think seasons should see a 2 or 3 k increase. Just a guess on my part.Real talk here, does season ticket numbers go up by the thousands? I would expect a solid increase, I wonder how much though?

Realistically i think season tickets will increase 1.5 to 3,000.
I think Dungey graduating may reduce the number of casual fans signing on.I'm with you generally but I'd bump the floor to 2,500.
More times than not, I've read here that we shouldn't think about the playoffs. It will never happen.
This will be tested.
Can we start a new thing where all of cny throwIt's really a Central New York accent. All the old New York telephone information operators were located in CNY because they could be understood!That is about as dead-on a Syracuse accent as you can have. He sounds exactly like my uncle. You know Wildhack is one of us.
Relax. I was making a joke.I did not mean to imply he was definitely getting $4 million per year just that I had someone tell me in the morning that Babers was extending his contract and that was what was said to me in terms of the salary.

The Dino factor will supercede ED grad.I think Dungey graduating may reduce the number of casual fans signing on.
Dead on these 3 points. Why leave when you can make the HoF if you stay?Everything he needs to achieve his professional goals, he has right here.
The man is adored and owns this town. He can retire here a legend -go match that.
Besides, the market narrows for a coach with a big buyout looking for 6-7 more years, taking him into his 70's.
going back to the babers megathreads when he was hired, seemed to be a good consensus that he was the perfect age for us - we thought it increased the chances he'd stay here longer
You may see it for a huuuge home game vs Clemson next year. Gameday?Real talk here, does season ticket numbers go up by the thousands? I would expect a solid increase, I wonder how much though?
