he would be in and out real fast, 90% of it would be real inspirational and 10% would make you roll your eyesWow, that would be really rude and uncalled for.

It is my opinion that Jake Pickard will be one of the starting DE for the next 3/4 years. The cupboard isn't THAT bare.
SIMMER DOWN CHIP that's not what he meantit is. if pickard were to get hurt we'd be filling the hole with someone out of the stands.

Im not saying they are doing a bad job. I'm just not going to care or assume that a unanimous 2 or 3 star that we add is any better or worse or even the same than another unanimous 2 or 3 star that we drop. I'm just not going to get excited about it until they prove it on the field. And outside of Ruff, they all have poor offers.
he is doing the best he can at this point--nothing more---i will give him that--and nothing more!!!! i will wait to see what he can do and i do have confidence that if nothing else it will be different. ---no, i have tipped my hat 1 to many times---u go your way i will go mine
They just flipped 2 kids committed to Arizona, 2 kids committed to Illinois and a kid committed to Miami. When have we done that EVER?

su football from 1960-----great through the years---including ben s.,maloney,mac, pp,gerg,marrone, ss, etal.---supported all that---sorry i need more at this point. i dropped sth two years ago--mostly due to the archaic thinking of the administration, and the continuous bs from them. i bleed orange as do my immediate family (who have degrees from maxwell and law) i am a townie from tipphill, we need us,north side,east side, etc. the casual fan as they call us.we need a something to be proud of in syracuse. they have been and always will be the ones who fill the seats---su represents the city,and environs---we need to be proud of them--hcss got that part right. we are a good town,albeit, glass is always half full mentality---but that is another discussionYou're really sounding like an . . . . . . . with this post. Why so angry, buddy?

Haven't we seen his teams. He won a league which Syracuse likely would not win. When his team's have played their peer teams, they have done well. Past performance is the best predictor of future performance.Yeah, since we haven't seen a Babers led offense or defense, we should probably focus on what we know: they are recruiting a decent class in a short time, Babers offense is insane and takes a year to implement.
You can ruin the fun worrying about defense right now if you want. I'll wait to see how it all shakes out.
mostly resting on our laurels with out reinvesting in the facilities, while other schools did and passed us by. having such illustrious leaders such as shaw who did not appreciate the community etc. taking for granted that the locals would support the team no matter what. but you are correct in that the team sucked so bad we lost the casuals, who had better things to do with discretionary dollars. i do not dispute what u say as i see it that way as well. this new administration strikes me as proactive rather than reactive on all fronts including football. i am cautiously optimistic.what was the "archaic" thinking of the administration that you are referring to? I am just curious? I can see if people cancel tickets just because the team sucks so bad but this is the one that always gets me. The " archaic approach" always seems to be a nice discussion from the Syracuse residents, what do you even care? I think people cancel season tickets because the product on the field stinks but don't realize it. Understanding that the preferred season tickets are a disaster

Can you provide a list of football players at SU from 1981-2001 that were on the wrestling team at SU? I think it will be a very short list.ForCuseSake said:I meant the varsity sport wrestling; not the "wrasslin" you & Chip excel at (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Apple's and zebras.I don't think it's coincidence that SU cuts wrestling in 2001 and football recruiting struggles to bring in the beef for the next decade plus (Jones bros being the obvious exceptions).

I think most people will be able to adjust from punting contests to track meets.I agree. We can take tons from his previous stops. That's why he got hired.
I was more speaking to the thought that to run this offense, our defense will be neglected and will be bad.
Long story short, I doubt the stats on D will peak as high as a Shafer led D. This offense does put a strain on the D, but it's simple math: more possessions = more points/yards, for both teams.
It will be an adjustment for people used to 17-10 scores. 45-35. 50-21. Etc
If we can envision the SU Offense getting better with a new Baber scheme, we should also hope for the baber Defenses to be better with more P5 talent available.I agree. We can take tons from his previous stops. That's why he got hired.

This cant all be about SU playing these games with Mac level talent , there has to be an expectation of better players in his systems so his systems will also be playing at a higher level.. his Mac level talent was competitive against P5 and hopefully within 1-2 years we start seeing P5 level talent doing even better and that should be on both sides of the ball.
