Red's last stand - Clemson Game

[capeorange]

Not only is this his last stand, this game will decide the fate of Syracuse athletics in general. If the squad doesn’t win this game emphatically, all teams will be shut down permanently, scholarships will be revoked, and the Melo Center will be rented out for kid’s birthday parties.

So yeah, this one is a big deal.

So, you're saying this is a must win game?

It’s in the 80s and beautiful here in Costa Rica - I don’t know what everyone is complaining about. Pura Vida!

Costa Rica is legit. We almost booked a 3rd trip this winter in the last 2 years. It's a cheaper flight there than going to Atlanta for work.

I thought Tennessee was Red's last stand - and we won. Will every ACC game be a last stand? If we go 12-6 we still get 6 Little Big Horn defeats.

And then he lost to hofstra.

And then he lost to hofstra.

That's like if Custer had won his battle, then fell off his horse and died during the victory parade.

Can we just not suck tomorrow? We need something good to celebrate. Been an horrendous three months for Syracuse sports across the spectrum.

I'd like to see some FIRMNESS

 

[dasher]

The same way the fans do?

Most fans live in the area. Most refs don't.

Flights don’t seem like a problem. Fans will be driving in, so there should be no difference there.

I hope so. I want to watch the game.

Also, what she said

 

[RedtheGOB]

When I saw the schedule this was the first game I noticed. First I was like damn good thing we're not going down there NYE after the holiday layoff. Then I thought about how much worse for them it is coming here it is especially when it was 78 degrees over Christmas a few days ago down there.

This is the first year in forever that we could start ACC play on a heater. At the same time if we're just the same old up and down crap through January I think we can all be comfortable saying it's time to move on.

Collecting dimes lol

 

[RyanCuse44]

Yeah I thought I read somewhere that lack of drivers was a bigger issue for the city than lack of plows.

This guy maybe available -

I hear it’s theoretically a great place for a commune.

 

[HyattsCuse]

It was nice seeing snow last weekend when I was in town; but I’m glad I got out of there Sunday evening!

Safe travels to all attending tomorrow. I’ll be watching on TV. Hoping we can take care of business.

[ar inj]

I am flying in tonight. I should not say this but my flight is still on time

 

[sugrad68]

This would be a huge victory but I doubt Red is going anywhere should we lose.

 

[llandz]

It's not just the team. How do the refs get here? Or more importantly, the tv people?

We have built in TV people. Have all that is needed to broadcast the game.

 

[llandz]

Yeah took the railing off our wall to paint the wall. Had my “winter socks” on. Slid on the hardwood and the first stair. Hit my tailbone then my back hit the edge of the stair. I went down like a freaking luge in the Olympics. X rays on my back Friday.

And mind you I’m suppose to be taking a 25 day golf trip to Florida, Texas, California and Scottsdale starting January 18 so I don’t care if I need a new spine, I’m going lol

Let me know if you want to get together to watch a basketball game while you are in Scottsdale if any line up with that part of the trip.

Willl do ! Will be quick trip but hopefully back at end of February too!

This is a 50/50 game. Clemson is a better team but not as good as Tennessee and we have home court advantage. Following this game, our next four opponents are the weakest of ACC. We could start with 5-0 ACC record if we beat Clemson. This will give Red some breathing room as too many people want him gone.

How do figure they're better (assuming we have Donnie back)? Legitimately curious on your rationale.

Why go firm when u can go hard

Just a guess based on the records so far this season.
