Coach Babers’s show this year show will be Thursday nights at 7PM except when the game is not on a Saturday. The show is two days before the game, except for Thanksgiving week. Here is the schedule:
Thursday, Aug. 29 – 7 pm; Thursday, Sept. 5 – 7 pm; Thursday, Sept. 12 – 7 pm
Thursday, Sept. 19 – 7 pm; Thursday, Sept. 26 – 7 pm; Tuesday, Oct. 8 – 7 pm
Wednesday, Oct. 16 – 7 pm; Thursday, Oct. 24 – 7 pm; Thursday, Oct. 31 – 7 pm
Thursday, Nov. 14 – 7 pm; Thursday, Nov. 21 – 7 pm; Tuesday, Nov. 26 – 7 pm
They are now adding the “Gomez Hour” that they do from 8-9PM for the Jim Boeheim basketball shows to the Dino Babers football show. I’ll be summarizing the comments directly related to the team and the next game (late) on the night of the broadcast and anything else interesting the next day, (if there is anything else that seems interesting). I’ll have a “first hour” and a “second hour” question.
The show will originate from PressRoom Pub, located at 220 Herald Place in Syracuse's historic Herald Square, each week this season.
You can also listen to the show live each week on the Syracuse IMG Sports Network and Cuse.com. Wednesday's show will be on 99.1 FM and 97.7 FM, as well. The show will regularly air on 99.5FM (Syracuse) 99.1 FM (Utica) and 1200 AM.”

I’ve been asked to continue doing the summaries, even by people who listen to the podcasts. I may focus on the major points, rather than trying to record everything.
My Question(s) or Comments
First Hour:
Coach, the history of the Pittsburgh series is one of alternating periods of dominance, almost like a pro wrestling match. We won 11 of 16. Then they won 11 in a row. Then we won 16 of 18 with a tie. They’ve now won 15 of 18. I’ve always attributed this to the fact that both schools recruit the same areas, (New York Pennsylvania and Ohio), and whoever does the better job dominates. But I look at our roster and we’ve got only 6 players from Pennsylvania and 4 from Ohio. We have 10 from New York but none from the southern tier or western New York. We have 17 from Florida. Overall our players come from 21 different states, DC and Canada. What teams are the most important for us to beat for recruiting purposes?
Second Hour:
Coach, I’d like a clarification about a couple of statements you made in your recent press conferences.
In the Monday press conference before the Pittsburgh game you were asked about Taj Harris. You said, “There’s some stuff that’s come out in the last two weeks that I think has been damaging our guys on the football field as far as their injuries. So I don’t want to talk about this part or that part. We’re watching the tape and it seems like some of our guys are taking shots at particular areas like people are reading press clippings and they’re going after certain spots on people.”
(See 11:30-12:20)
After the Pittsburgh game, you were asked who might be healthy for the next game. You said “We probably ran across a lot of injured units in the 2018 season when you’re just rolling along and then you don’t have those injuries. I can actually think of two teams in particular right now that we faced and they were banged up and they thought we might not go after certain guys and we did and it affected the game early and we’ve got people doing the exact same thing to us and that’s the cool part of football. You watch a lot of tape and you get to know who’s hurt and who’s not hurt and if you can figure it out and you know how to attack people.”

(See 8:10-8:50)
What do “going after certain spots on people” and “attack people” mean? Are we talking about running plays that take advent age of the limitations of injured players or are we talking about making their injuries worse?
NOTE: TONIGHT’S SHOW WILL BE FROM 6pm TO 8pm RATHER THAN THE NORMAL 7pm -9pm
Thursday, Aug. 29 – 7 pm; Thursday, Sept. 5 – 7 pm; Thursday, Sept. 12 – 7 pm
Thursday, Sept. 19 – 7 pm; Thursday, Sept. 26 – 7 pm; Tuesday, Oct. 8 – 7 pm
Wednesday, Oct. 16 – 7 pm; Thursday, Oct. 24 – 7 pm; Thursday, Oct. 31 – 7 pm
Thursday, Nov. 14 – 7 pm; Thursday, Nov. 21 – 7 pm; Tuesday, Nov. 26 – 7 pm
