Coach Babers’s show this year show will be Thursday nights at 7PM except when the game is not on a Saturday.
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.
They are doing the show on Zoom, not at any local restaurant.
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.”
You can also get it on: Home | Free Internet Radio | TuneIn
There hasn’t been any change in the phone numbers, which last year were 315-424-8599 (local) or 1-888-746-2873. You can call to ask questions or submit them via Twitter at: https://twitter.com/CuseIMG

You can (or could last year, anyway), listen to a podcast of the show, probably the next day, at: Search results for babers | Free Internet Radio | TuneIn
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
“Firstly, coach, I looked up the record of ACC teams the week after a Clemson game since we joined the conference in 2013, (which also about the time Clemson because the perennial national championship contender they are now). ACC are 31-34 the next week. Florida State and Louisville are 10-3, (although that includes two FCS opponents and Kent State). Syracuse and Wake Forest are 4-10, suggesting that the impact of playing Clemson is greater if you don’t have a lot of depth.
My Errol Flynn movie reference for the week is “Desperate Journey”, where Flynn, Ronald Reagan and Alan Hale are airmen downed over Nazi Germany during WWII who got through a lot of adventures trying to get back to England but survive by keeping their spirits up and coming together as a team to survive to fight again another day.
My question today concerns a favorite topic of yours, speed. We had a debate on our Syracusefan.com board about who was the fastest player on the team. Newspaper articles say that Sean Tucker was hand-timed in 4.29 seconds in the 40 yard dash but Jawahr Jordan was electronically timed in 4.37. One poster said that hand timing is not only less accurate but tends to record a faster time because the timer tends to have a delayed reaction to the start of a race but to anticipate the finish. That poster said that a hand timed 4.29 is the equivalent of an electronic 4.4. He quoted their electronic 100 meter times: 10.64 for Jawhar and 10.77 for Sean. But you don’t have to run 100 meters in football. Another poster posted Sean’s electronic 55 meter (6.41) and 60 meter (6.88) times and claimed that that’s the equivalent of 4.26 in the 40. Still another said that if you really want ‘football speed’, you should use a 10 meter dash. Neither guy is likely to be caught from behind.
What distance do you prefer to use in evaluating a player’s speed? How much do you use metrics like 40 times and bench press amounts in determining who to recruit and who to play? Who is the fastest player on your team when everybody’s healthy? And what was your 40 time at U of Hawaii?”
