My questions for tomorrow night's Dino Babers Show

[SWC75]

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 – 6 pm; Thursday, Oct. 31 – 6 pm
Thursday, Nov. 14 – 6 pm; Thursday, Nov. 21 – 6 pm; Tuesday, Nov. 26 – 6 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.”

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

First Hour:

Coach, would the performance this team had against Duke have been possible before you made the changes you did? If those changes had been made earlier, could we have played this way earlier?

Second Hour:

Coach, through 10 games, our slot receivers, Sean Riley and Nykeim Johnson have 53 receptions for 350 yards and 1TD. Last year, in 13 games they had 105 catches for 1,321 yards and 7TDs. Sean has also gone from 262 yards on 16 punt returns and 1TD to 139 yards on 13 returns and 0 TDs. Why haven’t they been able to be as productive this season?

Like the first question, love the second question. I cant recall him saying anything about the return game this year. We lost some good special teams players since 2018 didn’t we?

 

[MSOrange]

Agree- 2nd question has been one of mine this year.

Great questions, and many thanks, Steve, for what you do to add juice to the coachs’ shows — for both major sports. And thanks for the amazing detail, and clever interjections, in your reports.

I hope Dino treats your second question in two parts. What has happened with the use of our slot receivers this season, with a new QB? And what about our punt return unit as a whole?

He will answer OL to your 2nd question. Think it's been asked.
