Honest question, has Adelson ever said one positive thing about Syracuse? I don’t think I have ever seen even one.

She's definitely not a fan. That being said, the team has too prove that 6 wins to start last season wasn't a fluke.

Boston College has to prove an entire craptastic 2022 wasn’t a fluke and she picks them ahead of us. She can rot in hell too.

So dumb.

Looking forward to the team shattering these type of predictions.

I thought it was a fair analysis, to be honest. We've not been consistent. Dino himself likes to say "consistently good, not occasionally great"...or something.

The category was “who’s on the hot seat” and her pick is Dino, but then she states he’s not on the hot seat yet.

I get that but her bias against all things Syracuse is evident at some point. I honestly think she absolutely hates Syracuse for some reason. Question remains, has she ever said one good thing about Syracuse Football? Ever?

The article was very poorly written, despite that I actually agree with many of her thoughts.

Back in 2012 I believe she called Syracuse the best 2-2 team in history

You would have to go as far back as last year's preseason when she was one of the few national writers predicting that SU would make a bowl. She later picked SU to beat Minny in the Pinstripe

I am not saying this as a fan of Adelson. I am Adelson agnostic. Just pointing out that bias goes both ways. Negative SU opinions are too often seen as "hate."

Clemson plays FSU and then comes to Syracuse the next weekend. We're going to get them at a pretty good time.

They're not gonna take us lightly, that's for sure. Clemson fans always have respectful things to say when I wear SU gear.

 

[upperdeck]

not sure clemson winning or losing which helps SU more.. i just hope we are at least 3-1 by then

I have never heard this. Are you sure it was Babers?

We were 6-0 to start and unraveled is one way to look at it.

Another way to look at it is we were 7-2 (5-2 vs P5) vs all teams not named Clemson, FSU, or ND. I don’t count bowl games with half of rosters (including coaches) not participating

 

[Xanadu]

I don't think Adelson nor Hale are biased against SU. Their analysis tends to be pretty fair and their predictions are often close to the mark.

We might feel good about this SU team because we are returning a lot of talent, but many teams are returning just as much talent or are looking to recover from an off year. SU has done nothing over the past 20 years to provide analyst with any sort of confidence in growth or consistency in comparison to our peers.

 

[qdawgg]

I think we’re going to be good this year but in fairness, Babers record from November on is atrocious since he’s been here. Until that changes, perception won’t change either.

 

[All4SU]

Everything there is a “Safe Pick.” The vanilla ice cream of sports journalism. Not a risky prediction in the entire piece. So very boring…

I think he may like movies too, and rhinos and hippos, but I may be confusing him with someone else
