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
#AskDino or through Cuse.com, (the SU Athletic website):
Submit a Question! - Syracuse University Athletics

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

Coach, during last Saturday’s game matt described a Sean Tucker run by saying that ‘Tucker broke a tuckle’. I guess that’s what Sean does: he turns tackles into ‘tuckles’.

I watched that game wondering which Errol Flynn movie I would reference this week. Would it be ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ in which the good guys improbably ride through the cannon fire to reach the Russian lines and the bad guys get what’s coming to them or would it be ‘They Died With Their Boots On’ where Custer’s men make another valiant charge but there’s just too many Indians. I guess there were just too many Indians on Saturday.



The last battle

There are two phrases I hear all the time on talk radio that I hate: ‘winnable game’ and ‘moral victory’. If you divide your schedule into winnable games and non-winnable game you are both underestimating your opposition, (Duke, Liberty) and yourself. We’ve competed with Clemson pretty well over the years and even beaten them and will again. I never knew what an ‘immoral victory’ was. You want two things going into a game: You want to win and you want to emerge from the game optimistic about getting future wins. Sometimes you lose the game but the team plays so well you feel better about them than you did before the game began and that’s what happened at Clemson. The one thing I worry about is a letdown after playing Clemson. How do you get the team into the proper mindset to take on the challenge of beating Wake Forest this week?
