I'm concerned about all this optimism...

[A Clockwork Orange]

Are you not from Syracuse and the surrounding areas? Are you not a Syracuse graduate? You should be EXPECTING the n*t kick this weekend, yet here you all are singing kumbaya and dancing around a fricking tree with flower crowns on your head.

STOP IT! Stop this madness, for God's sake. We are SYRACUSE fans. There are Demon Deacons around every corner, and Cardinals waiting to pounce, yet you all seem so, so... confident. You disgust me with your swagger, and with your head held high. SLUMP THOSE SHOULDERS!!! HANG YOUR HEAD!!! You are defying the Gods of mojo and tradition.

If we win this weekend it's all your fault. You've wrought this whole "we can have nice things" bull spunk. Now you'll rue the day! Do you want a successful Syracuse football team? Well, now you've got it, you no good ingrates. Let's see how you feel being WINNERS for a change. Let's see how that wreaks HAVOC on your naturally good and just Central New York insecurities. Next, you'll be wishing for it to be 80 and sunny in the winter, and to have roads without potholes. You people make me physically ill.

Dammit, I'm going into this game with eyes WIDE OPEN this weekend. Wake Forest is a DAMN good team that will give us fits. We will lose by two touchdowns, and then you'll see how GOOD it is to lose. We'll have 'woe is me' back in our lives, and will expect this team to go to the Trojan Condoms Quickie Bowl. We'll play the Salukis of Southern Illinois in that bowl game in Dubuque, Iowa and be properly aggravated about flights and start times. AND YOU'LL LOVE IT! Get on the pain train with me folks, we CAN'T have good things and it's important for our pessimism to balance the insane optimism of people like GBO on this board. Let's do it the Syracuse way, with fear, trepidation, and down-heartedness! We can do this! Let's make sadness happen!

LOL. Fair enough. One game at a time.
Some of us are old enough to remember the last time we were this good.
And some of us are even older, and remember the time before that!

I remember the good times, I was a season ticket holder in the '90s. I also remember fondly all of the gut punch games during those times. Those things build character and a wall of self-doubt that are crucial to my life view. Get over yourself IthacaMatt, you know you want to be depressed!

I can't feel my face.

 

[A Clockwork Orange]

A Clockwork Orange you are singing in the rain.

Or it started raining while I was trying to sing. Think pessimistic! Rediscover your roots.

 

[A Clockwork Orange]

I can't feel my face.

If that bothers you and makes you melancholy then perfect. If not, have someone punch you in the face to get feeling back, and to be irritated again.

No matter how many times you and your buddies kick me when I'm down I'll still be humming down the field.

Losing to Wake would be brutal, but this just “feels” different than the Pitt game.

Dungey finally remembered he’s one of the best QBs in CFB last week and Dino/Staff showed the ability to adjust schematically during the season with personnel changes to slow down opponent running games.

I’m just enjoying this moment of being ranked for the first time in nearly half my lifetime so yeah take it down a notch or two.

I think Dino has the pulse of the team. After Clemson he was talking about not letting Clemson beat us twice. That was one of the hardest losses for me to get over in years.

Now he's talking about the team not being done yet. Anything can happen, but I think they're going to be fine on Saturday.

 

[Cuseregular]

LOfreakingL! You should have been part of our 10 person text message thread during the NCst game of those of us mostly at the game if you want to see CNY negative nellies!

And somehow we won!

dick post full of pathetic sarcasm

That's the spirit!

I mean, yeah.

 

[Acesn8s]

I appreciate the post I have been a season ticket holder since 1998, and I can never get away from the feeling that we are bound to fail after something good happens. I have an old friends who I haven't talked to in years texting me saying man the "Orangemen" are finally back you must be so pumped to have them Nationally relevant again." I immediately said lets pump the breaks a little and remember what program we are talking about here. I will feel much much better if we beat Wake Forest because I don't see anyway that dumpster juice of a person Coach P and Louisville beat us on a Friday night.
We lose to Wake and its back to being not ranked and a program nobody really talks about, win the next two and we are talked about nationally, we are most likely in the top 15 maybe higher and have a HUGE game against Notre Dame on national TV.

 

[Orangello]

My nuts are still sore from the SchPitt game.

That's the spirit!

cant wait for your next post!

 

[A Clockwork Orange]

cant wait for your next post!

brian you do realize it was a joke post right? I mean, tell me you’re not so dense to actually think that post was serious. You didn’t right? Good Lord, I couldn’t have been more tongue in cheek if I had tried. Come on now man.

Ban yourselves people who got caught up in this mess., embarrassing

That is the genius in your post! It was the ultimate in satire, but we are also wrapped up somewhat legitimately in the faux identity/rant you created. When you raise your hand to pet an abused dog, it cowers. It doesn't know that something positive may come...because it has known nothing else. We fans are like those dogs. Now rescued by Dino. And our tails are wagging again! (Strange metaphor...but it works. I'm sorry for anybody who now has Sarah McLachlan's song, "Angel" stuck in their head now!)
