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 (no show next week)
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.”
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
#AskDino or through Cuse.com, (the SU Athletic website):

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

First Hour:

“Coach those Western Michigan Broncos are well-named. For the second straight year we got off to a big lead against them and held on for dear life like a bronco rider in a rodeo. We could be satisfied with staying on for 8 second- we have to hold for 60 minutes and did it each time. Over the last three games we have averaged giving up 606 yards and 46 points. But in this game we stopped them on fourth down 4 out of 5 times, had 4 takeaways and 3 sacks and harassed Jon Wassink into 23 incompletions and shut them out in the fourth quarter. Are we a good defensive team at this point?”

Second Hour:

“Coach, our offense got off to a slow start this year but in the Western Michigan game we gained 545 yards, had 25 first downs and scored 52 points. We averaged 5.5 yards per carry and completed 77% of our passes. Are we a good offensive team at this point?”
 
Perhaps you have inside knowledge, but how do you know he is redshirting? If so, why waste Jordan on HC? That makes no sense.

That's the part that always cracks me up about these threads- people throwing out questions when you provide the means to ask themselves. Come on people - be smarter.

Question re Jordan submitted.
 
Both are red-shirting and they are picking which four games to play them in.
I would expect to see Jordan this week
It'll be interesting to see. If they think he's coming along fast enough to help in games at the end of the year, do you "waste" him in a game like this? Or, do you not know how good he'll be in live action and use this game as a way to assess whether he'll be able to contribute down the stretch?

He still gets his 4 games with his redshirt. So it’s only wasted in the sense that if he’s significant in ability we should use him against a team we could need him for. Otherwise, he’s got 4 games to play without losing his redshirt.
 
Tonight was the first time I’ve ever listened to the show - thanks for the link to that. It was a trip to hear SWC’s voice, I recognized the question immediately. If I’d logged in earlier I would have called with my question
