Post Game Notre Dame

[hoopsupstate]

I disagree on this take. We were giving effort during the overall season and into this game that deserved booing. Majority of the booing is not personal, it’s fans that expect better from the team. Because they are better than what they’ve shown. Now during football when we are making noise on offense trying to communicate plays is a different story. Fans not showing up and not keeping the players honest should be a bigger indictment to the players and coaches imo.

Booing is always personal!

It was a win, but Syracuse consistently starts games down 15 or 20 points. It has become a theme of the Red era. How do you explain not being prepared for the tip-off in every single game?

Its hard to keep fans engaged when games start like that. I think a lot of people turned off their tv and moved on with their lives.

Yeah, the dumpster fire starts are a major issue.

 

[DBCooper]

Completely disagree.

The fans that don't show up are terrible fans.
The fans that show up and have been the same dysfunction week after week, with no end in sight, and with the wagons circling to ensure that fans don't even THINK a head coaching upgrade is coming, are desperate.

The only people in that building not being paid to be there, aside from the walkons, are the fans. They have every right to make it clear they do not believe they got their moneys worth.

Fran Brown would not be here but for the fans, donors, and alumni who said enough is enough and voiced their displeasure in every possible way. The "nice to be here" cheerleading crowd means nothing when it comes to moving the needle.

Fran Brown is not here because fans were booing. That had nothing to do with the decision. Dino did not meet the expectations of the administration in his final year.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with sentiment, attendance, or revenue losses smh

Of course it did. But the loss of revenue due to a drop in attendance is not the same as booing.

It's all a factor. If you are a paying ticket holder, boo if you want

I might not be understanding this correctly, but Troy Nunes was soft in your opinion? A long time ago, but I seem to remember Troy as a kid who made some questionable decisions running around and such, but a tough kid who gave it his all.

The idea that Troy Nunes was soft is silly.

Yep. And that just can't continue. You would think that somewhere along the line, we would come out hot.

Is that a Rita Hayworth poster in his hand?

I'm afraid it's a copy of Homer

Troy Nunes took a lot of hits. Our offensive line for him was generally awful. But as a football player, you don't show the other team that they hurt you so bad that you have to leave the game on consecutive plays. That's the point.

Unless you blew out your knee or your ankle, you just can't leave the game on back-to-back plays early in the game because they tackled you hard.

Jim Brown is a football god, and players like him, Walter Payton, so many other guys, you just don't show the other guy that he hurt you. Not if you're a competitor.

I agree. Matt appears to think so.

Very vaguely remember being there...RJ coming in the game showed a guy who looked like he belonged on the field...Nunes not so much.

Matt I'm a big fan but Jim Brown and Troy Nunes should never ever ever be mentioned in the same sentence. It's like comparing Secretariat to a little kid's pony.
