Dino's Game 4 Press Conference for Liberty: 11 AM

[JeremyCuse]

RB is probably the #1 position we can overcome the starter being out.

There is depth but there's an enormous drop off from Tucker to everyone else. SU has no chance Friday if he's out.

 

[Orangezoo]

How come we seem to almost always be banged up as a team since Dino took the reigns...

 

[upperdeck]

It doesnt mean any one was hurt in game though. Benson was but other than that Tucker didnt look that injured, he didnt even get looked at, but I dont think him being out is a reason we lose this game. TD could be out if the injury was ribs the way he was sucking wind. Taj/Williams were out last week so who knows on them.

 

[JKinPhilly]

We seem to lose a lot of Cats every season. Maybe we should be more careful with our Cats...

My father used to tell me the only good cat was a flat cat. Maybe he was right after all.

 

[qdawgg]

LOL of course. Classic SU to lose multiple "Cats" in a game that was over at the end of the 1st quarter. Sigh.

At least it’s just some cats, not the rhinos and hippos. We seem to be down a few animals every year, every game.

 

[IHeartSUFball]

Huge game for Dino he needs figure it out and get a win

 

[690West]

Tucker was in pain in the Albany game?

Yes, I’m going to ask-
What was the point of giving him so many minutes in an overwhelming win against Albany?

Because he’s a cat!!

 

[David321]

Remember that time Dino forced an entire room of grown adults to close their eyes? That Dino is one strange cat.

 

[tipphill]

i am tired of his continued excuses. why even mention it???? he is prepping us for a loss. speaking for myself, i prefer he says nothing for the rest of the year. he plays the same tune year after year, game after game.
please say nothing and just focus . sorry he is not the coach for us.

 

[PhatOrange]

Jump to conclusions much

 

[Nick44]

Dino already pushing the excuses so when they lose he can point to more excuses about why in year 6 his program cannot beat a non-P5 program, at home, on a Friday night. Rinse wash and repeat.

 

[JRHEETER]

Oh boy my man is already starting the excuse train for this week………

If he doesn’t have depth at positions and it’s a steep drop off…in year 6, that’s on Dino now…

A win Friday goes a LONG way for Dino keeping his job

 

[pacusewife]

But thank goodness Liberty doesn’t know who our starting QB will be!

I would imagine Hugh Freeze is twisted in all kinds of knots after hearing Dino's comments last night.

Causing him yet again to coach from a hospital bed

Soiling himself I am sure

 

[zjscuse]

Bet it means taj, benson and Williams are out and that’s it lol

 

[pacusewife]

Bet it means taj, benson and Williams are out and that’s it lol

We are playing 7D chess here

 

[MikeSU02]

Please just let Sean Tucker be ok.

(I hope all the players are ok, but you know what I'm saying)

 

[SuFTW]

Not going to get worked up about mysteries

Frank and Joe are disappointed. Shaggy and Scooby as well.

 

[PhatOrange]

I thought his comments about Ellis last night were interesting. Wondering if Davis can't go we start seeing Ellis at guard.

I find it hard to believe Tucker is out. Would be surprised if anyone other than Benson is out (from Saturday's game) since no one got hurt to the level of having to be attended to on the field. I will say I didn't like that shot TD took near the sideline. His shoulder drove hard into that turf.

I was running on little sleep when I wrote this.
I don't know if Tucker is actually dealing with significant injuries. Dino didn't mention him by name.
I shouldn't have put gasoline on this fire.

Yep. He's laying down and playing dead, just like he did in the Pitt and Rutgers games rather than acting like a competitor. We better hope to open up a big lead, because a close game in the 4th will result in the sort of white-knuckling that will make us eager for the Boeheim slide rule.

Absolutely agree.

Agree on Benson.

Tommy said he got the wind knocked out of him for the first time in his life. Seems odd that hasn't happened until now, but I know the first time it's kind of scary. He looked fine after.

Still hoping Jackson was just cramps. That's what the announcer thought, and what it looked like as they were lifting his leg.

Tucker looked fine running that 3rd Q touchdown after his exhaustion in the 2nd Q.

I didn't notice any other issues from that game.
