Line is now Syracuse +1.5. Wow.

Where did you see that ? I'm still seeing SU -2 at most places.

Agree, that is wacked. Maybe Bridgewater fell in the shower last night.
 
The Louisville guy who posted a review said that two of their starting DL's are out (possible suspended)
 
I think the line is insane.
reminds me of the wvu line earlier in the year only being favored by 6 against tex tech.

run to the smell!

Why? We aren't that bad and our offense matches up well against their D. This will be a close shootout.

Because Vegas doesn't try and predict outcomes. Vegas tries to make money.

#9 undefeated team @ 4-5 team that noone nationally pays particular attention to should have the line further apart.

I like the matchup and think we will win... but I always convince myself we will win. I'm also expecting an encore performance by the BE officials to some degree this week. If we play smart, it won't matter but we've done that in exactly 1 game this year so far.

This is absolutely the week to be terrified of the BE and its hatchet men.

I believe that playing on ABC will keep the officiating honest and fair unlike last week
 
Look SU doesn't suck. In fact theyre pretty darn good. If it wasn't for a few mistakes and a ridiculous schedule they would have a darn good record. Unfortunately they are probably the best 4-5 team in the country and it sucks to say that.

I mean you're absolutely right but being the best 4-5 team is kind of like being the best one legged man in an a$$ kicking contest.
 
We're screwed.

The fix is in, fellas. Read the tea leaves.
 
As long as we remind the BE refs that Louisville wants to leave the conference as soon as they can I'm thinking we get an evenly called game.

Its nice to know that other people convince themselves week in and week out that we will win. Is this a syndrome? Should I seek help?
 
I hope the team has gone to sleep already so that tomorrow feels like a night game

Nope. It's a nice mix of optimism and fanhood and I wouldn't call it a problem. The only side effects are occasional post game depression and resulting hang overs the next day. By Monday everything is back to normal and we're going to win the next game we play.

Agree, that's not going to look good for the league. And you won't be able to run from it with that exposure.

As to the injury/line issue, makes me think of the way the Drew Tate injury news made it through the tailgates the day of our 2006 game with Iowa. It had seemed so protected until then.

Daylight savings time. Take the team outside at halftime, 1:30 should be dark in Syracuse. And tell them that as far as you know, the Minnesota game never happened.
 
This is the seniors last home game, so a lot of pressure to do well, need to start strong or wheels are liable to come off. I just hope they make it a good game.

We were the best 1-2 team, and are now the best 4-5 team in the nation!
 
We were the best 0-3 team, and are now the best 4-5 team in the nation!

We couldn't have been the best 0-3 team ... never made it that far.

Cripes--it was so overcast and dark today in Syracuse, I'm sure the team has adjusted to night-game mode. Just make sure somebody tells them to keep the curtains closed and wear sunglasses on their ride to the Dome.
