No Excuses

2 games to find 1 Win

No excuses to:

- not have big crowds
- not go bowling
- not start landing big recruits

I want both wins too. Pitt & BC? Winnable games and lets start staking claim to being #1 in the northeast.

Lets give em a show (gulp) in Tallahassee too...

Totally agree. Pitt and BC are totally winnable, and I would love to win both. I will accept 1 of the 2, just to get bowl-eligible.

Best case scenario - 2-1 with the FSU game 'a game' going into the 4th qtr. That's the best I've got - I can't in good conscience say 3-0 (although I can fervently hope for it).

Nothing has changed from a couple of weeks ago. Both teams are beatable and both are loseable.

Good post.

The measuring stick for success this season, IMO, was always making it to a bowl.

No excuses not to win 1 and go bowling, 100% agree. But you won't have big crowds. The "casual" Syracuse fan has gone to the Dome and gotten burned one too many times. Expecting them to show up in force for Pitt or BC ain't gonna happen. After the Clemson debacle it will take a while to get alot of those people back. You will have your usual attendance and nothing more.

Might not be popular, but we've got to win 2.

6-6 teams don't deserve a bowl bid. We'd get one, but that's not exactly something to be proud of.

7-5 or bust.

I don't care if we go 5-7 and get a waiver, just getting the extra practices.

That being said, I feel we go 7-5

Is it possible for you take make one post that isn't relentlessly negative.

40K for both.

I didn't take that as negative at all, it's realistic based on past performance by our fans.

I'd love for your projections to be right, and I'm drumming up folks for a tailgate, but the "typical" SU fairweather fan isn't jonesing to go even of they get a free tattoo. Especially if we don't show up next week.

If we beat Pitt then I could see some turnout for senior day though.

Thank you! Someone gets it!

Sadly, Your analysis is right on. I wish it was different. Bad losses at horrible times killed the casual fan base

So the locals are scared.

Scared to see a loss.

Want a guaranteed win.

Would rather rake leaves than see big time programs likely beat SU.

Phew...thank god we moved the big game, likely losses...to Giants Stadium!!

Of course lower level programs are below them too...

Scary! Almost like a haiku... short, musical, and filled with truisms. Well done, Kaiser!

Didn't nail anything.

Scared to see a loss? Want a guaranteed win? Is that why crowds are better for the better teams?

Leaves are pretty much gone.

Wonder how many alum will come back to see the alma mater clinch a bowl bid.
