70 receptions and 24 TD passes in a season??? Those records are offensive - good riddance!

 

[texascpa]

Passing attempts may fall by mid-season.

 

[Scooch]

So you're assuming no one will get hurt? Bold.

I miss that 2012 team. They were melting teams, definitely one of the 25 best teams at the end of the year. Is that pinstripe bowl on youtube?

We were a bullshit penalty against NW from 9-4.

I thought 70 receptions sounded pretty good but then I saw a BGSU player set the NCAA record with more than twice that number.

Don't feel bad, most SU fans have little comprehension of how different the game is offensively than it used to be. This is because for some bizarre reason SU has refused to participate in college football's offensive evolution over the past decade. It'll be nice to be a part of it now.

In retrospect, the two conference loses could have been wins, we should have won the NW game, and we would have beaten USC if we had played them in November. And then, there was the Minnesota game...

And the Cincinnati game, which was the most obvious "the referees' job today is to punish you for leaving the Big East" game in history. And the Rutgers game, in which Justin Pugh came back from injury just in time to miss a special-teams block that resulted in a 10-point swing.

That team was half a dozen plays from winning ten games in the regular season.

(Yes, before someone points it out, I'm aware that they were also two last-second comebacks away from being .500.)

What's interesting is that it came pre Dino, 2009. This offense seems to spread the ball around too much to reach some of those individual numbers.

Yeah, but this is kinda important. I know the popular opinion here is that 2012 was our best season since 1987 (slight exaggeration, not by much) but if it weren't for a miraculous comeback against a lousy USF team the season likely would've gone down in flames. So people should ease up on the 10 win talk.

Do people really think that? 88', 91', 92', 95', 96', 97', and 98' all have to be considered better with 2001 probably better.

 

[Czar]

Only one I'm doubtful on is receptions. 15 receptions would have been Top 5 in the country last year. While yes, Roger Lewis did have that, I'm not sure anyone on that team hits that this year.

EDIT: Referring to TD Receptions

Exaggeration. But to listen to some folks wax poetic about our (8-5) 2012 season, you'd think so.

Ok. I saw the exaggeration part but wasn't sure exactly how serious you were. Phew

Honestly, I hope offensive recruits are coming in with the understanding that they're going to own our record book, and the only guys they'll share it with are some of the all-time greats that came before them.

Clearly you're not familiar with my work here.

Yeah, well they call me Kenny Rogers, and they call Kenny Rogers "the gambler" so, you know... I forgot where I was going with this.

 

[Chip]

Do they keep a stat on fangasms?

Probably broken this year.

But broken again next year.

Weep for Pete Sala and crew.

I'm 30 years old. All of those seasons were half my life or more ago.

You make great chicken?!

Ok. The comment was in response to people possibly thinking the 2012 team was the best since '87.
