Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 43675, member: 397"] Thank you... that would have been my response. The STARTING QB for Wake Forest led them to 1 score in the 2nd half through 19 minutes (out of 30)... they kicked a FG one play after he left the game. He played a fine game and was making some good plays... but he was also playing against a banged up secondary (which no one seems to mention or remember) for most of the game (Rishard Anderson, Phillip Thomas, Olando Fisher, and Shamarko Thomas were all out for parts of this game due to injury). But, yes, the loss of Tanner Price was the ONLY reason lowly Syracuse was able to win the game. Whoa is us... we're not worthy to win any of these games... Good thing all of these teams just rolled over for Syracuse this year because they feel bad for Syracuse... otherwise, Syracuse would be 0-6 and hanging their heads in shame. I don't understand why some of you can't just give Syracuse credit for things they've accomplished. Syracuse outscored Wake Forest 29-9 in the 2nd half and OT. Isn't that worth something? They put up 33 points on Toledo (who only gave up 27 to Ohio State the week before). Syracuse scored 37 points against Tulane (who gives up an average of 35.8 points per game against FBS competition this season so far)... what was an acceptable amount of points for the fanbase? 45? 55? 65? The team has "won ugly" this year so far... I get it. But, I get so tired of all the negativity of the fanbase expressed relentlessly on this forum. Syracuse has issues and weaknesses, but so does almost every other team in the country. Syracuse has been good enough to fight their way to 4-2, and given the weakness of the Big East, they have a great opportunity to win some games in the second half of the season. Just about all I hear on this site is constant whining about how "lucky" we've been, how we don't deserve to have the wins we have, how we have no talent, and how poorly we recruit, and on, and on, and on. Yes, this is a message board and people are going to debate topics... but it's very frustrating to hear constant negativity from a significant portion of the [B][COLOR=#ff9900]SYRACUSE[/COLOR][/B] fanbase regarding our team. I, for one, am happy that Syracuse has navigated the first 6 games and managed 4 victories. There are definitely plenty of areas for improvement, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the second half of the season plays out. [/QUOTE]
