Holiday Bowl Postgame

[AZOrange]

Fran was saying good game you played hard etc. The coach just looked away and rolled his eyes immediately.

Didn’t seem like that to me

 

[Scooch]

Someone just posted on twitter(who has a blue check mark) that McCord is going to announce he’s coming back in his press conference. I doubt it but would be interesting

It costs like $8 for a blue check. Means nothing.

Honest question that maybe should be its own poll…

Which 3 loss finish would you rather have had? SMU or Cuse?

dominant Holiday Bowl victory and a 10-3 finish.

Or losing a heartbreaker in the conference championship and essentially getting smoked in the first playoff game?

Call me crazy but the vibes right now are damned near perfect. Finishing the way SMU did wouldn’t feel nearly as good, even though they do get to say they made the playoff. We get to say we are building and are finishing on a run with momentum heading into the offseason and starting spring ball in a few weeks.

That's kind of a loaded way to ask that though. I would take the playoff shot anyday, but it's different if it's being assumed we would've gotten smoked.

Yeah, I’ll take a playoff loss all day.

But this season has ended in a joyous way for us.

Anyone can buy that check mark now.

Amazing how people come up with this stuff

After the all ACC team came out, there was a lot of debate about where Laquint should have been. Then I saw the stat today that no running back in the entire country IN10 YEARS has had 900 yards and 60 catches. Then today he went over 1000+ the 60 catches. If the all ACC team was picked after the bowl games, he would be second team. He is truly unique as a player and role model. I hope he comes back.

Oh gotcha. I don’t have Twitter so I dunno. Just saw it on the google suggested tweets

Agree. It is weird though how in CFB there are about 40 teams that end their season with a post season W.

Think that was bnoro just to efffff with all yas……

 

[Cootface]

Walk on but I don’t think he’s related to Jimmy.

Are you seriously trying to tell me the kicker named janikowski is not related to Sebastian and the lineman named Boeheim is not related to Jim? In the same game? Blasphemy.

The way I look at it is this, SMU got exposed as a paper tiger who took advantage of a weak schedule. They played two competitive teams to finish the year and lost both.

Could we have competed in the first round of the playoffs? We will never know of course. But when we had to play a playoff caliber squad in Miami, we competed like crazy and won the game (albeit at home).

Fran has plenty to sell on the trail this year and tons of belief pouring through his program that everyone can see and feel.

Is it perfect? Of course not, but if you got to pick between an a$$ kicking on national TV in the playoffs, or this as the final moment of the season. I’m picking this one for setting up the future of the program

87, 91, 98, 01, 18, 2024. Best seasons in my lifetime that I can remember. It’s hard to see the season end, but damn that was one helluva ride!

Surprised you don't have '92 on there. We finished ranked higher than '91, had the exciting game against Miami, and beat a great Colorado team in the Fiesta Bowl.

 

[Scooch]

HUUUGE credit to McCord, Allen and Gadsden for playing this game. 3 weeks ago I was sure they’d opt out. And I wouldn’t have been mad.

Love that they love SU, Fran and football enough to play.

Will Villari still get paid for that egg nog NIL deal?

Miami was also a fraud though

 

[SuFTW]

Enough too have 2 different ones at the same school lol.

But they are related though.

Glad this game is on Fox. ESPN bowl games don't do post game show and interviews.

yes, that was a nice bonus, on-air coverage, I think ESPN puts it on ESPN+, which can be a PITA to find it

Like I said…that I remember. You’re right. 92 was better than 91. Sorry I made a mistake.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Just noticed that Callahan, the starting LS didn't play, but Stangle the back-up did.

 

[Cheriehoop]

come on... they hugged?? the guy just lost

And he has no idea what or where is his future will be.

Yeah I mean can't have a different opinion I guess.

not what i saw at all...their coach gave Fran a huge hug...dude was emotional and said something like talk soon.
Maybe he rolled his eyes up so tears didnt fall.
That coach is a good dude from everything ive witnessed.

 

[RF2044]

Really, kind of a dream season. And if we'd beaten Stanford or bc, I genuinely believe we might have been in the playoffs. As crazy as that sounds.
