If we keep this up we are going to be left behind.

[Crusty]

Time is running out. Probably only a few seasons left before the last major realignment.
Arguably, this is our last chance. If we don't start winning soon, we are going to be left behind and relegated to the minor league of CFB.
We are 28-63 = 444% since joining the ACC and are not respected by the CFB press or industry professionals.
We are a dormat of a weak conference and nobody needs us.
We don't have to like it but it’s true.
Losses like last night (at home) simply reinforce the negative narrative and make it that much more difficult to change the trajectory of the program.
Fran Brown just doesn't have the luxury of time regardless of university support. The game will pass us by. it's late and we cannot afford a poor season regardless of the reasons why.
Hope he pulls it off.

Relax we are 2 1 with a ranked victory...win the next two and we head back into acc play at 4 1 with two ranked wins .not many teams would have two ranked wins after 5 weeks

It’s not as easy as just “win the next 2” I did not see a team that could go across country to Vegas and beat UNLV last night. And it’s a lot of the same problems we saw against Ohio, against GT. The only adjustment our defense has made is to take our best pass rusher (already a very weak pass rushing team) and put him up as a spy in certain situations. I’m firmly leaning to 3-2.

 

[SoBristol]

Yes, relax. A close game, exciting to the end, full Dome, signs of life in the donor base, obvious uplift in Fran’s recruiting (only the first year - more work needed) —that is not a “negative narrative”.

 

[Crusty]

That's the issue. Our record in the ACC sucks. There are at least 5 tough games coming up and our track record is not good. Glass half full? It better be because a 6-6 season is a disaster.

 

[upperdeck]

IF UNLV wins to our game we could have 2 ranked wins.

I have not heard our name mentioned in ANY articles, podcasts etc as being wanted by anyone. That is a problem. That's the narrative.

 

[swish7]

Yeah, we aren't beating UNLV w these kinds of performances. Need better from our best players & for our less talented to be coached up more & be in better positions to win.

 

[AZOrange]

My god we are 3 games into a new Cuse football era and the fans have already turned. This is the most depressing fanbase I’ve come across

A couple of reasons for that. We are currently well-placed in the ACC - no impetus on SU’s part to want to shake that up. Second, W/L will not change our basic profile. We are a private university in central NY, 45,000 capacity stadium, with some tradition. Where do we fit in the changing world where $$ drives the conference decisions?

Do you believe 8-4 in 2024 will alter our conference fate? What might - consistent better recruiting and alum dollars.

We are a joke nationally and have been for 25 years. Lol

This thread has little to do with 3 games

 

[Crusty]

Its 2

It's 20 years not 3 games.

You mean we didn't make Frank the Tank or the Dude of WV's Top Ten List?

This isn’t about 3 games. It’s about 30 years.

 

[OrangeCrush22]

We, and a lot of other schools, are likely going to be left behind no matter what. TV (money) is killing CFB. Enjoy it while you can. We are lucky we haven’t already been relegated like Washington State, Oregon State and the Big 12.

Yeah short of becoming an unexpected dynasty we're going to be left out no matter what.

 

[Bayside44]

Ridiculous take.

Because this season and the seasons after that are the same? Why don’t you guys just quit following?

 

[Newhouser]

When we get left behind it's not going to be due to our record. Economic reality will be our death sentence.

Some of these takes are absolutely psychotic. We talked about Ohio state fans and how terrible they were in their opinions and yet some people are acting worse than that for zero reason. Sure im not happy they lost, but it’s legit 3 games and were one play away from 3-0.

 

[David321]

I'm as disappointed as anyone else but we're firmly entrenched in the third best conference with a now expanded playoff.

With a few exceptions, probably not "psychotic." But definite manic-depressive tendencies.

Unless you make the playoffs winning does not matter. Or. St. and Wazzu say hello. If the ACC falls we will be left behind.

 

[CanadianSU]

Geographic location and brand will help us not be left behind. There is still tons of season left here. If Cuse beats UNLV then the record will probably be what it should.

We've taken two steps forward and now one step back,,, that's why we're 2-1. Let's regroup and learn from our mistakes.
