  1. Week 3 Media #GTvsCUSE

    If he feels that bad he should just quit. That is just gross.
  2. If We Were Told We Would Be 1-1 After UCF and FSU, We All Would Have Taken It

    1-1 is fine under the circumstances but all the good will can disappear in a hurry if we lose this week. After watching Syracuse in their first two games, I don't see how we can lose UNLESS we turn the ball over a gazillion times again. That will encourage an underdog more than anything. We...
  3. If We Were Told We Would Be 1-1 After UCF and FSU, We All Would Have Taken It

    It is not how you start, that people remember, unfortunately, it is how you end up. Bear Bryant used to complain about Alabama fans. "We win 9 or 10 games, and all they want to talk about is losing a damn bowl game" he groused in one of his biographies I read.
  4. Bottom 25 (9/22/20) (Syracuse slides down the ladder)

    Personally after watching both games multiple times, I don't think we are a bad team, much less a bottom 25 team but we are not a good team either. Syracuse is a bad team. They have some good players in spots but not nearly enough of them. They have enough players on defense to be...
  5. Gibbs Named ACC Rookie of the Week

    You think he knew something the announcers and the tv audience didn't?
  6. Gibbs Named ACC Rookie of the Week

    Maybe they will just decide to swap it back and forth amongst each other. In the huddle, quarterback Sims: "Hey Jahmyr, you want it this week? No, you go for it."
  7. Article Sizing Up The Syracuse Orange

    I told my students for years...be aware of your audience. If you are speaking with your friends, that is one thing but hold yourself to a higher standard in the workplace or in a job interview. Good grammar sometimes gets noticed...bad grammar always gets noticed.
  8. Article Sizing Up The Syracuse Orange

    I taught high school English (among other things) and see it all the time but refrain from commenting for fear of being labeled a "grammar nazi" or some such. A survey of English teachers around the country a few years ago found that the number one sticking point for them in regards to grammar...
  9. Article Sizing Up The Syracuse Orange

    You are right, I picked that "tight end" thing up from another web site but a "fullback"? Smacks of major problems on the line. We know something about that don't we?
  10. Article Sizing Up The Syracuse Orange

    Carter has been targeted so many times the last two weeks, it is a wonder he does not think he has a bullseye on his back.
  11. Article Sizing Up The Syracuse Orange

    I don't know that we will "win easily". I can understand that anyone watching those two games would come away with a sense of confidence gong up against the Orange. The two top running backs "opted out", their offensive line has a former tight end playing because of injuries, their...
  12. Article Sizing Up The Syracuse Orange

    I don't remember it either but I remember what Bobby Bowden said: "Dadgum wishbone"
  13. Article Sizing Up The Syracuse Orange

    I watched the Syracuse and UNC game and came away thinking that they were very similar to us last year on offense. Among other things I noted about the Orange: * 3-3-5 defense with multiple looks. They blitz a good bit and have an outstanding safety * Good corners and they seem to play a lot...
  14. Article GT vs UCF Postgame Thread

    We will find out Saturday at the Carrier Dome. Are they "absolutely horrible"? They have not won a game yet so maybe so.
  15. Article GT vs UCF Postgame Thread

    I knew it was over 400 but damn we had 490 yards total offense? Somehow, we only managed to score 21 points. I guess that is what 6 turnovers will do to you. I must take exception to your assertion that Syracuse is a bad team and we are not. We may not be a "bad" team but we are not a...
  16. Article GT vs UCF Postgame Thread

    If we turn the ball over 5 times, Syracuse is more than capable of beating us. It should be a good matchup as both teams are struggling to score. I see the potential for Sims to grow from this and play an exceptional game next week. The injury list is already pretty long and might get longer.
  17. Article GT vs UCF Postgame Thread

    I am a little surprised it wasn't Walker in the lowest graded player in coverage but no matter, the UCF quarterback simply had more "clean pockets" to throw from than Sims did. In this day and age, you simply cannot cover these receivers for very long. They are too fast, too accomplished in...
  18. Article GT vs UCF Postgame Thread

    Unfortunately, for Syracuse sitting at 0-2, it is probably seen as a "MUST WIN" as well. A lot will be determined by the injuries on defense. We just cannot fall behind or get in shoot outs. We had over 400 yards total offense and only scored 21 points. I hate to say it, but Syracuse looks...
  19. Article GT vs UCF Postgame Thread

    They are a good team especially on offense. Fine quarterback with lots of weapons at his disposal. The recruiting rankings show up on defense. They are like a Big 12 team in that regard. The biggest difference I noticed was that their quarterback often had a clean pocket and Sims often did...
  20. Week 2 Media #UCFvsGT

    Given that they are a top 20 team and we are an 8 point home dog, I can't imagine why our guys would not be fired up and focused to show what they can do on the big stage. This is a really big game for Coach Collins' program. Legit? or Wannabe? We will find out Saturday.
