Team meeting news?

Trey told us he was really bummed he couldn't make the meeting because he had a class. He said he meeting was 1 1/2 hours!

Good to hear and best of luck to Trey. I would guess that the vast majority of the team is very excited by Babers and his system.
 
Kelly029x said:
Thank you!! The majority is excited, especially after the meeting :cool:
BG was one of the schools recruiting Trey, would think they remember him lol
Not a common name. We have watched them play and we are excited for the future. It'll be fun, that's for sure!

Did Trey hear anything about the meeting that stuck out?Have U heard anything about what Dungey thinks?
 
One thing for players to consider if they're considering transferring - if they want to coach in the future they're about to get adopted into the Briles cult. Not the easiest thing to break in to as we've just seen. Coming out of a program using that system could be very valuable experience regardless of the player perspective being on offense or defense.

Must of missed that. Plenty of browbeating to go around in any case for anyone supporting Shafer.

Don't get me wrong, parents can (and, as I've seen it, do) offer great insights on here. But things have the potential to get a little uncomfortable.

We've got a couple in this thread who've remained cool, but I can understand why some posters suggested that parents check out during the season - even the well-intentioned on here can make posts that hurt feelings. Looks like one dad heeded that warning; I haven't seen his posts in months. Another dad stayed and often made interesting posts, but things got more than a little chippy when posters made valid criticisms about the coach and program. It's unfortunate, too, because I think 100% of the posters refrained from saying anything negative about the guy's son...if anything, everyone's careful to be positive when it comes to the kids of known parent-posters.

My husband, being a FORMER Penn State fan, knows how fans get ~ we have thick skin and understand that people need to vent and express their OPINIONS which is what these boards are for and actually it can be very entertaining! We know that our kids will come and go and you all will still be here! We realize that a lot of you have been around a LONG time waiting for wins, we pray they are coming with this staff!!!! We hope that now is the start of great things for the SU football program and we are grateful that Trey will be a part of it and hopefully gets to experience it before he has to leave! We have become SU fans forever! Trey has aspirations of coaching so who knows where he will be once he graduates ~ but Syracuse took a chance on him and for that we are forever loyal, thankful, and humble!

If Trey has aspirations of coaching, he's in a good situation with this staff. After all, one of the offensive coordinators he'll be playing for next year was a TE at Wisconsin. If I were Trey, I'd latch onto Sean Lewis and soak up as much as possible.

That's exactly what we thought too ~ what better staff to play for and learn from!
 
Why would a rational parent of a SU Football Player want to be on this thread/Link? One day their kids a star , the next he's a headcase..

Imo, posters should refrain from being overly negative toward any amateur athlete...period.

For me, that's what makes the hoops board unreadable.

What a reasoned post. I understand why it can be so tough for a player's family to be on here. I think some player's families come in and are excited about the program, but don't realize that a lot of us fans also have a lot invested in the program. Maybe our child isn't playing, but we've watched, cheered, cried, and died a little inside for this program for DECADES, not just four years.

So when we see a coach making the same game day errors that he made three years ago, we don't look at it in a bubble. It's not just that game, or that year. It is a pattern, and we recognize it. New members of the board who are family members of players don't have that history. I know that the players want to win, and the coaches want to win much worse than we as fans want them to (and we want it a lot as well!), but that doesn't change us feeling like this is "our program" more than any coach or player. Coaches come and go, and players leave the program. But we fans are here forever. It's an interesting dichotomy. I love it when families are on the board because it is great to hear interesting takes that we don't get to talk about often. I also like it when they are well reasoned, as your post was. It makes it easier to have actual discussions over coaches, schemes, etc... I understand how tough that can be for some parents, because relationships are built with coaches and not the school. We root for the school, while many parents root for their child and the coaches.

I heard HCDB bought each player a spirograph game and showed them how to use it.

I often wonder why the hoops board gets away with it but here it's scrubbed faster than we get a chance to reply.
 
Exactly! That's what makes it understandable when you guys get so heated ~ we realize it's frustration! We are excited to see what they think of Trey and if he fits in with their program ~ each player will be evaluated without prejudice completely based on talent and their fit with this offense! One advantage we have seen Trey have is he has always learned new offenses very fast ;):)

Exactly how it should be! Good luck, Trey!

honestly we joined the board right after Trey committed....found A LOT of great info...met some AWESOME folks at tailgates too....and being parents we do like to see what the fans think about some of the things going on with the program....kind of like seeing it from both sides.....and I NEVER said I was rational......LOL....Anyone that's played football, rugby, and the host of others I've played and being a fan of them all is NEVER RATIONAL!! LMFAO!!
