Echoes of Coach P

[Pyle]

Anyone else got old timers vibes lately? This season has a coach P feel to it in some ways. Minimum expectation of a bowl, couple of what the heck losses, big win over VT in the Dome in OT from a turnover, old traditions, consistent uniforms. I'm not comparing the coaches, but this season is starting to feel a certain way to me and it's very familiar.

He needs to be honored at one of our games. And soon

The fact this hasn't happened yet is a travesty.

Or employed by SU in a coach emeritus position.

Fair. But I would prefer that when we get to Miami (assuming they are still top 5), he doesn’t ask the media/fans for advice on how to compete with them.

Make it Miami, honor Coach P and Deleone, and then ruin Miami's undefeated season.
A great ending to the regular season.
And a monumental tribute to Coach P.

Miami last game of the season is supremely sentimental.

that 1992 game was one of the reasons I applied to Syracuse. It was such a monumental game for northeast football. Between Syracuse and Boston College that year, the northeast had big boy football (along with ND humming too).

Have him give a prep talk to the team as well. I know Fran would be down with that

a couple of What losses? Pitt wasn't a What loss.

a couple of What losses? Pitt wasn't a What loss.

Losing to Pitt wasn't unexpected. They were home, undefeated, ranked and favored. And we hadn't won there in 23 years.

But, outside of the Coach P thing, I think many of us said what the heck (with the other word) several times during that game, given how it unfolded.

And then Pitt folded against SMU, sigh.

Stanford will be lucky to be a 3 win team. Double sigh.

But at least we beat Virginia Tech.
