Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, and Floyd Little mark the holy trinity of legendary old school Syracuse RBs who played in our National Championship era.
They all wore the #44. That number has massive tradition at Syracuse and for decades it was considered an honor to wear it, and was one of the few...
TBD. There will likely be a few. Bergeron (OL) probably will sit out. Tucker is a real TBD (I suspect he tests the draft but he is coming off a slightly down year relative to 2021 so there's always a chance he comes back, or at least wants to try to have one more good game on national TV). I'll...
I lived in 3 different NYC boroughs. I'm in NJ now. NYC doesnt scare me. But I don't view it as an ideal bowl destination in any way. It's cold. There's no tailgating. Sight lines are bad. Its expensive.
Im happy to be in a bowl, and have no prob at all with Minnesota as an opponent (though...
2 big factors for me
1- The schedule got tougher. Despite the narrative, not all of the early seasons wins were against crap teams. Louisville, NC State, Purdue, and Virginia were all quality wins. And heck, UConn is going to a bowl game. But it absolutely shifted to another gear with a series...
Just wanted to share some high level Orange info for those who are interested. Feel free to ask anything else if you are curious. And this is just the opinion of one Orange fan but I think most of the below is generally agreed upon, though probably not all.
Syracuse has an above average...
I dont think anyone in Syracuse doesnt understand that. It's cold here too.
Cuse fans wanted a different venue too. And I think EVERY Cuse fan would have signed up for a warm weather bowl vs the Gophers in a heartbeat. Serious Q. Would MN have been ok w Syracuse in a warm weather bowl of...
I think that when you have a good solid opponent that doesn't have a true rivalry or inflection point (do we want to have a snowfall measuring contest) you find what you can to fire things up.
Truth be told, after a 5 game slide, I think we all knew that we played ourselves out of the better...
Purdue wasn't playing nearly as well when we played them. And we were playing a lot better than we did over the second half.
That said, for me, the biggest reason we beat them in the end was that they were one dimensional. Lack of a running game sure, but the fact we could so decisively key on...
I think a lot of Cuse fans were hoping for a warmer weather destination although, realistically, we knew Annapolis and is 5 degrees warmer and 20% less chance of snow was about as good as we could get. But at least you could legit tailgate there.
I dont think many Cuse fans have any issue with...
No lie. Your rushing game terrifies me.
Cuse fan coming in peace. Yes, a couple ball busting threads are around, but in the end, nothing but respect, at least from me, from the Gopher program. I'm excited about this game and hope for a competitive matchup, although, again, we need to stem the...
