Amazing these guys didn't watch the whole game. Let's bring up the pass interference that cost us a TD rather than settling for a FG. That is a 4 point difference - let's see them discuss that.Wilbon thinks the win should be vacated. Kornheiser thinks we should replay it from that point on.
At least Kornheiser knows that you can't penalize SU for a referee error..."They didn't ask for this." (his words).
Wilbon is real good at spewing asinine crap.Sums up the problem with ESPN, the way to success is to say asinine crap. Can't just come up and talk precedent because that's boring. Its almost like they give extra credit and air time to the analysts that can think up the dumbest idea.
See what I mean about the bludgeoning that the Cuse is taking nation-wide?
This isn't a national championship we are talking about vacating. It's a win against Toledo. Anywho, I'll take the W, but we could have made a HUGE pro-syracuse marketing splash, and helped the integrity of the game, by coming up with a creative solution.
The only way that having this "win" will benefit us at all, is if we end up going 3-5 for the rest of the season. If that happened, perhaps this "win" would get us into a bowl game at 6-6. Just as likely, the bowl committees would leave us out, in light of our dubious Toledo "win."
If we finish with any record other than 3-5 for the rest of the season, this "win" will have no impact on our bowl eligibility or placement, and actually hurts us because of the national embarrassment. We are either going to the BCS, going to Yankee stadium, or sitting at home: so only a 3-5 finish could allow the Toledo game to impact our postseason. Accordingly, this "win" will not really do much for the program, except embarrass us and make us look petty nationally.
The last time the national media was talking about a Syracuse football game, it was the Pin Stripes Bowl. Now this: from the short attention span of the national sports audience, that is a pattern. That hurts us nationally. I think it is illogical for fans to hold onto this dubious win, when the win most likely will hurt us more than it helps.
You know what you are 100% correct we are petty, how dare we just go on with the game and accept the ruling on the field. Toledo had multiple chances to win the game, and did not. If anyone looked petty in this it was the team demanding the win be vacated because not utilizing technology is an injustice, that my friend is petty, and is the sign of poor sportsmanship, not vice versaSee what I mean about the bludgeoning that the Cuse is taking nation-wide?
