Va Tech Trainwreck Discussion

[Cuseregular]

Don’t have the energy to retype this

Can't watch anymore of this.

I don't want to pile on as I am not so emotionally attached to the football team as a lot of you are. However, I still watch every game. It's like the Bills. I root for them but it's not like when I watch my Giants. Anyways, you can see the talent discrepancy, even against a middling team...

Stephen King’s sequel to classic book Misery will be titled ‘The Program Builder” Collectively, the fanbase will play the role of James Caan. Coming to a Dome near you.

So...are we doing a BC attendance thread or no?

Bellamy is expected to return back to Syracuse with the team.

2023 Babers is not the same guy from 2016. Or maybe he is but a bit older with less concern for the job he was hired to do.

 

[phil77]

Only losing by 28 seems like a win

Good news. I completely missed what happened to him.

Fitting ad showing up for me on cuse.com right now.

It has taken over 60 years for SU to kill football for me. I have been a fan since the early 1960s. I am almost 70 years old, and don't think I will see the glory days of football again. And by glory days I would have been happy with an 8 win season. But I am embarrassed tonight by this program and how we have gone backwards both of the past 2 seasons. We need to decide if we want to do this right or not. Even if we lost a close game, but this was terrible.

I think he gave up a few seasons ago and just playing out his contract.

And we reversed the downward trend of scoring! Watch out college football world here we come! Cue the Jeffersons music!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Wax career high 14 tackles.

Only good news of the night

When you get to the point that blowing it up is no longer the scarier option, then you know it's time.

 

[grepal]

Here before the we are Syracuse we can’t do better takes. NIL this, NIL that, blah blah blah blah transfer portal, waaaa it’s cold here waaaaa.

is it too much to ask to not be blown out by one of the worst P5 teams? Not be absolutely destroyed every single week? Actually having a coach who understands basic game management and plays to win?

in fact, even if they were competitive you can live with a 4-4 record. It’s literal amateur hour and anyone, I mean anyone, could not do worse. No disrespect to Dino either, he’s a good guy and gave us one heck of a season, but it’s been EIGHT years, it’s time.

No way our NIL can be much different than VaTech. We are terrible. Maybe we are better than BC, maybe. This bad was not expected.

 

[Cusefan78]

Good news. I completely missed what happened to him.

Dino traded him for a front row ticket to Star Wars 12

 

[Reyes39]

Wax career high 14 tackles.

10 of those after an 8 yard run on 1st down.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Here's something you don't see every day...

 

[llandz]

I don't see our better players sticking with this program or our recruits not bailing. In this day of the portal, we can build a program quickly with a dynamic coach. Just a coach that players will respect. We aren't getting the top coach prospects, but someone who is a real players coach that they will want to play for.

 

[Eric15]

What on Earth has happened to Garrett? People around me at the game were like "man he's slow." Where is the player who was just masterful against Purdue, who beat VT at Lane earlier this year!

 

[RF2044]

'ingggg terrible.

 

[JKinPhilly]

I'm just thankful that I have another obligation next Friday night, then leave the country for a little over a week after that. I'll miss our next 2 games, and likely by the time I get back I'll be watching an interim coach.

 

[Cuse4455]

I'm 26. In my 26 yrs I've only seen competent teams 4 or 5 years out of those 26... And half were when I was too young to remember... Its sucked.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Still not sure how we became completely inept the last 5 years on O. Dino's 1st two years the D was the main issue. Now look at us.

vs ACC teams total O
2016 9th
2017 3rd
2018 2nd
2019 9th
2020 15th (last)
2021 13th
2022 8th
2023 14th (last) going into today!!!!

 

[OburgOrange]

I didn’t watch the game. Did we really have zero yards rushing? ZERO!?

How can he not be fired?

He wins 2 more games and he gets a bowl game. Then what?
