It's vengeance time.  Live or die...make your choice.  Or, I guess, we could just beat Akron.  Like we're supposed to.

7-0 Zips

after the SECOND shotgun snap that went high. We aren’t going to be able to run any shotgun plays the rate this is going. Oh and the TD pass beat someone named Scott. Try to contain your surprise.

My question

Is why we ever run anything out of the shotgun. I think our center has proven through two months that he’s pretty much the worst center in college football in that regard. Seriously, how many has he sailed over Paulus’ head or nearly sailed over his head already this season? 15? 20? At least?

This is fucking humiliating.

my bad

It’s actually a new center. However, it looks like this guy has arms very similar to that of the orc general in “Return of the King”

no doubt about it

Two weeks to prep and this is how we come out? Fantastic.

But who are the bigger assholes – them for being down to Akron 7-0 with a third string QB and basically their second-string at a half-dozen other starting positions…

or us for thinking it would be any different?

i would understand

if they were playing outside where it is raining, but you’re in a freaking dome. Half of their team in injured. They are 1-5. Come the fuck on.

Still no webcast?

No webcast of the game? Probably for the better considering the way it’s looking so far. Is Mike Williams playing? There are rumors that he wasn’t?

no mike w.

one-game suspension. no reason given.

short version: almost worse

than the beginning of the WVU game. Almost

from a preview story:

“Good teams go out early and squash their “cupcake” opponents. Syracuse didn’t do it the first time, and head coach Doug Marrone should have his team ready to do it this time. An early lead will help guide the Orange to a blowout win.."

Not so much.

Jesus Christ Marrone

Coaching like crap today. You know your offense is barely capable of running basic plays, and yet you trot out the dumbass Stallion package and, lo and behold, killer turnover. This team is absolute garbage.

amen

Bet they spent two weeks working on that trash as well. That’s the worst part.

by Doc's Sports Predictions Guy on Oct 24, 2009 4:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I cannot we believe we are WORSE

horrible so far…so many self inflicted wounds – Marrone is losing credibility TALKING about cleaning up mistakes and going backwards after promising improvement…

It's like...

…do we even practice during the week? Or are these players just completely useless? I suspect it’s the latter.

9 rushes for 5 yards

In the first quarter against that DEVASTATING Akron front 7.

Is it basketball season yet?

by Doc's Sports Predictions Guy on Oct 24, 2009 4:14 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Patience people

Let’s allllllll calm down here! We knew this wasn’t going to be a good team going in. If you’re here, you love the Orange…and you can’t stay mad at the one you love.

And yes, basketball season will be here soon. My favorite season. It’s better than summer.

that coaching move made our crew look like Lombardi.

bwahahah. Call a timeout before

it goes through the uprights. Next kick is absolutely horrific. Dare I say, Robinsonesque? Finally a break for us.

They haven't said anything about a longer suspension

they keep seeing “out for this game”.

3 catches for 42 yards

that’s got to be a career high already for Sales right? I’ve been waiting for this kid to step up.

recalling intro to writing class with tony bland

He showed up for like 5 classes and was his peer edit buddy papers. Lots of red and grammar mistakes. Good guy though.

by cuseindahuse on Oct 24, 2009 5:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I just hope

He gets his act together. Seems like a good kid, but you can’t keep getting chance after chance to get serious about academics.

Un-fing-believable

Our special teams are complete garbage. I thought our special teams coach was supposed to “unleash the fury.” What a goddamned idiot.

what the heck was paulus thinking

that screen throw was awful, doesn’t he have periphery vision developed yet?

by cuseindahuse on Oct 24, 2009 5:25 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I was just saying that

He had terrible field vision on that play. How could he not see that the play was well covered? God, our whole team sucks.

ok HCDM. No ticky tack shit. Go for the kill here.

WHY ARE THEY FUCKING RUNNING OUT OF THE SHOTGUN

HOW MANY MORE FUCKING TERRIBLE SNAPS DO THEY HAVE TO SEE????

missed a fieldgoal…

by cuse93 on Oct 24, 2009 6:15 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I'm confused.

He was 9 of 10 on the year including some 40 yarders. He hooks one to the left and he’s pulled?

by 03 Grad on Oct 24, 2009 6:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

Maybe he tweaked something on that FG?

by DMF on Oct 24, 2009 7:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

agreed seems like a quick hook…

by cuse93 on Oct 24, 2009 6:21 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I'll take it

That was second-half domination. That was my “Revenge Game of the Year” in college football: Syracuse (-10) over Akron. It wasn’t pretty, but daddy will take it!

LOL

these comments are exactly how I was reacting towards my TV during the game. Gotta love the Cuse!!! Beat Cincy!
