This team (and board) got smacked back to reality...

[orangecuse]

I am a casual Cuse football fan. Seems that we are becoming more of a 3 star consistent talent team and that is a step up the food chain. In some years we can get into no-name bowls and even win those bowls, but imagine if our basketball team were composed of 3 star players? We would generally be a bubble team. The promised land in football still seems far away. Please save the argument that star ratings are meaningless. In any particular case they are meaningless but in aggregate they are meaningful. We need to take recruiting up another notch if we are to become relevant.

High level coaching trumps going from an avg. 3 star to 4 star team imo. UM did not have a stellar recruiting class last year due to the timing of Harbaugh's hiring. Just look at UM now, a half season or so under Harbaugh and they're knocking at the Top 10! I don't think they were even sniffing the top 25 pre-season. A victory over MSU this weekend puts them squarely in the top 10. I presume UM will have a top 10 recruiting class this coming year...primarily because of Harbaugh. My point, if SS doesn't get it done, we need to hire a coach with a successful track record as a head coach, not another learn on the job candidate.

Yeah, there are always so many of those available.

Yea, and at what we can afford to pay, to boot.

Lville is a pass dominant team and our secondary might be the worst (YOUNGEST) we have had since probably the early to mid 80s. Not sure how someone thinking we might struggle is the dumbest thing ever.

I feel that is important.

in my mind, lville is an AUTOMATIC loss, unless we see something different against uva...like a resounding W.

sorta playing lsu tough might be just because they didnt give a flying , played with 1 hand tied behind their back and the other trying to out-drink sarkisian.

Speak for yourself.

Yeah, posters who were predicting a win by 3 or 4 TDs on the road are delusional.

But who knows what happens if Whitner doesn't commit that incredibly stupid penalty.

We had scored touchdowns on our previous 3 drives including drives of 72 and 75 yards.

Without that penalty, we get the ball back down 7...instead we go down by 2 TDs again. That is deflating.

I am extremely encouraged. I think the ceiling on Dungey is very high and when a program has a good QB, it makes all the difference in the world. For a kid who only played in his 3rd college game, he had a he!!uva game.

The talent is getting better and so is the program.

EXACTLY Where I am with this team.

That's cute that you think alcoholism is a joke. Douche

Morgan, Winfield, and Wigham aren't exactly true Frosh. The safeties are both/all puppies but theres upper class depth at CB.

Winfield is a converted WR
Morgan is a converted SS

But I know they are older just saying inexperienced.
