Message: [QUOTE="CuyahogaCuse, post: 447940, member: 409"] Your point was that BJ Daniels played well "and without the USF TO's probably would have won the game." Those are your words, not mine. And I clearly understood them, thank you very much. However, while no one here needs a primer on your opinion on the RU game. You've stated it dozens of times and you refuse to acknowledge the impact a handful of plays had on the outcome of that game, whereby [I]Syracuse probably would have won the game.[/I] No matter how hard hitting RU was or how beat up SU was in that game, you've consistently discounted the impact of a questionable TO and the bad call on a fumble caused by the Syracuse defense at the goal line that resulted in a TD for RU instead of a touchback for Syracuse. No doubt that directly impacted the game outcome. And now, you've just taken the opposing argument in favor of another one or our opponents. And you are surprised when people call you out? There are only a handful of people on this board who have been around as long as you. Congratulations on your longevity. No one is questioning your Syracuse fandom. It's your inability to fairly assess the full and complete picture. By your own admission, your comments are based "[COLOR=#000000]upon my observations - and having watched the game for over forty years." [/COLOR]Does Rutgers have an outstanding defense? Of course. Whether you've been watching four years or forty years, it's fairly evident. Was their win in what was ultimately a one-score game aided by a series of fortuitous calls. Again no doubt. But you can't bring yourself to acknowledge and admit that. Furthermore, your posts border on inflammatory. [LIST] [*][I]"The USF Bulls had the game won - they lost because of fumbles and pretty poor defense."[/I] [/LIST] Really? Nothing about a great team comeback, or the gritty performance of the top QB in the league and his offense? Nothing about the Syracuse defense and special teams that caused the turnovers. Funny how you praise the hard hitting Rutgers defense for their play in their game against us. Instead, in this instance, you talk up BJ Daniels, who was only a pedestrian 17/30 for 183 and led his team to a TD on just one of four second half drives when it counted, with nary a word of praise for the team effort that resulted in the comeback win. As I said in my first post, you can't have it both ways. Now, please tell me again what I don't understand. [/QUOTE]
