You know those guys?? Wow! Those are my cousins - Big Bubba, Bubba and Little Bubba. The guy on the right end is their brother in law, Snag. If his mouth was open you could see how he got that name. You said you live in the south? If you're close to us, I'll get you invited to one of our barbeques. They are a blast! Lots of cheap beer, liquor and, of course, guns. The food is always great too. There's nothing prettier than a whole hog cut wide open with it's well done carcass laid out on a fence wire frame. Throw in some collard greens , mac and cheese, fried corn bread and a wash tub full of banana pudding and you have a feast fit for a king.

If you can, try to make it to the big Hallowe'en bash. Same food, liquor and guns but we always like to end the evening by packing an old car with about 60 lbs of Tannerite then blowing it up. There's a sight that will live in your memory for years! Do we know how to have fun or what?

I am so relieved. I knew you were kidding about Clemson fans being deplorable. The fact that these guys are your friends proves it!

This is the most Southern post I have ever read.

If you're ever in my neighborhood I GUARANTEE I can get us invited to a party just like it - and you will feel completely safe and welcome!

Need to try and win some defensive plays pre-snap. Can’t let them get off to a quick start.

If it gets out of hand might want to give Chance or Rex snaps.

Wouldn’t be too upset covering the spread and getting out of there healthy.

We’ve got more critical games left on the schedule.

They threw poor Wilson out there for the slaughter in 2016, he is still having night sweats and screams in his sleep.

Yep, agree 100%.

This. Cuse will be brought back to earth, I would be shocked if we covered the spread. Let’s just hope we are healthy after this game. Clemson is really good, the freshman QB is outstanding. Covering the spread and staying healthy is a victory

hey that's loser talk . shut it !

Dumb Question - when was the last time Syracuse beat a top 10 team on the road? Much less a top 5 team?

 

[CanadianSU]

Also - there is a very real possibility your guys will be looking ahead to the Pitt game in 2 weeks.

Lol no

We beat #5 Virginia tech in Lane Stadium in 2001

The Lawrence effect. This should be near the top now. The D could be in for a very long night.

I'm seeing this game way differently than most. I think we're better in three areas. Special Teams, our OL is better than their OL, and our offensive system is better than theirs. Lots of ifs, but if we punch them in the mouth quickly (Riley?), and recognize that their Linebackers are hurt or out, we can outscore them.
Also, their QB situation doesn't help their team.

Yea, you are seeing the game differently. Let us know what you see when you sober up. Punch em? With Riley?

That's bigger than the line last year. That's insanity.

If you drink enough, it doesn't matter if someone you don't know and will never be friends with insults you publicly. I obviously mean that it would be nice if we were to score on the opening kickoff. It's my fantasy and I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

 

[NailstheCusefan12]

Is it really? They had a banged up QB last year on the road on a Friday night. We gave up 42 to WMU and Clemson’s athletes can exploit those same issues. It’s a revenge game for them but I am glad it’s a noon start. That being said, a final score like 55-27 wouldn’t be shocking to me. I wouldn’t touch this game from a betting perspective, though.

 

[bpo57]

Revenge, home field, SU's sked to date and Lawrence being inserted full time. That's probably the rationale.

Size and power doesn't impress anyone on a kickoff or punt return.
