damn it!!
well let’s hope to start with 3
Trying to hit off me is like trying to eat soup with chopsticks.
-Ryohei Tanaka, with AA Bowie
I'll take only giving up 3 there
Trying to hit off me is like trying to eat soup with chopsticks.
-Ryohei Tanaka, with AA Bowie
Not sure if anyone just noticed
but both cb’s on that field goal immediately split out to cover for the fake goal. Where was that last week
does that mean the coaches
are learning or not as good(cough) Bob C. (cough)
uhhhhhhh justin stream just switched to ucf tex
better be switching back

phew there we go

another punt on 4th & 1 from midfield
You know, if our defense demonstrated that they could stop somebody, I wouldn’t mind the call. I think it took Cinci 2 plays to cover the punt distance when we punted in a similar situation last week.
here comes the first of many first downs.
We need to get up early to have chances for upsets.
i'm very suprised the stache did not go for it
i stand corrected
Maine
We’re not playing Maine. Not everyone is so brazen, so early in the game. Thankfully.
Also the "Wannstadt" factor [lack of cajones] figues into it.
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
Averin Collier looks pretty quick
He’s had limited action so far, but that was some good burst getting through the hole.
Shoot self in foot
False start, next thing you know it’s 3rd and 24, and the stupid draw play follows. Awesome.
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
Oh of course
There’s no good play call for that situation.
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
Another screen.
When are we going to figure out we’re getting in the backfield for a reason?
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
and our cbs are 15-20 yrds
down the field. getting killed underneath. can bill stull throw deep?
Well
Our pass defense is so terrible, it looks like they’re employing the same “bend but don’t break” tactic that they did against Cincy.
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
Amazingly against Cincy it kinda worked
Sans shooting ourselves in the foot that would have been a tie game in the 4h
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
and there's some merit to "bend but don't break"
as we hold them to a FG. need to avoid offensive mistakes now
true, but..
isn’t pitt a predominatnly running team. Stull isn’t anything spectacular. The balls he’s throwing look pretty ugly and it doesn’t look to windy there.
Was Dion Lewis in on that last series at all?
I think it was all Graham. Anyone know if Pitt does this a lot or is it possible there’s an injury? Lewis is the only one I’ve really heard anything about this year.
HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHERE THE 1ST DOWN MARKER IS?!?!??!?!?
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
Yard short
Why aren’t our receivers running to the first down marker? Second time we’ve come up a yard short in spite of a completed pass on 3rd down.
seriously.
that’s twice from inside (or mere yards away) pitt territory. gonna come back to bite us one of these times with a big play from pitt. we need points and momentum, Doug.
Why
Are we so afraid to go for it on 4th down all the time?
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
Could have gone for it there....
But oh well. Thankfully for us, the Pitt return man inexplicably called a fair catch. I’ll take it! Now let’s get a turnover, D!
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
I don't understand the punting.
When you can’t stop an offense the field position game is irrelevant.
Take a shot, at worst they’ll be dumb enough to intercept it and then we pin them deep anyway
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
we are 3-5. you are on pitt territory
what the f do you have to lose. if we’re 7-1, I’d understand. but it’s been like this all year. This is the year you can pretty much be agressive HCDM and no one would care. I just don’t get the dick jauron strategy(bills fan here). aargh. Go cuse.
well SCREW THAT
Trying to hit off me is like trying to eat soup with chopsticks.
-Ryohei Tanaka, with AA Bowie
UGH
So much for field position.

If Northwestern beats Iowa, what will that do to our BCS ranking?

Couple of sacks
Nice to see a little bit o’ that from the d-line.

Very nice execution
On that play. Carter having a great half.

Tip. Another lateral throw called for by Rob Spence. They’ve worked out REALLY well for us this year. UGH

justin feed is shitty.

Agreed
I didn’t see the tip live. I retract my criticism.

Yikes
Our own player tackled the returner. Tough 2 plays for Jones
paulus come one

Nice grounding throw

Classic
One bad play, and the self-destruction begins. EVERY GODDAMNED GAME it’s the same storyline.
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
So far
This is looking like our worst game of the year
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
It was 6-3 with us driving
Like five minutes ago. But it turned on a dime.
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
can't agree.
defense has only given up 6 points this half.
3rd and 22 and they’re gonna run the fucking ball.
"I Don't Care if your Family Sells Gasoline, Catch the goddamn ball'
dump it off, do something other than just hand the ball off. At least get a few yards

is rob long kicking a knucklepuck?
these guys can’t catch his punts.
How did Hogue
Miss that sack?

nico scott makes a play? no fuckinggg way.
"I Don't Care if your Family Sells Gasoline, Catch the goddamn ball'
it actually hit the pitt receiver above the numbers
the pitt wr michael irvin’ed off scott.
Nassib
Should be in for the hail mary

We're just desperate
For the chance of something good to happening for Syracuse, haha
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
Winnable
SU can definitely win this game. And they will. (Calling it right now.)
Also, why are these guys at halftime yapping about INTs? That one was NOT his fault – wtf. Leave the kid alone already.
That would be nice
This team has played so hard and hung around with so many more talented squads, it would be nice to see them catch some breaks and pull off an upset at some point.
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
*good happening
JESUS. I can’t even type, I’m so dumb.
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
Seriously...
I think Jake put a curse on us as he walked out the door. Have you ever seen a program with such bad luck in the past five years?
Seriously.
i was just thinking about something....
remember when we used to ease our pain on here by talking about olive garden?
"I Don't Care if your Family Sells Gasoline, Catch the goddamn ball'
Someone needs to tell this 12Education bitch not to tell me what to do.
If I don’t want to cover up, I’m not covering up. Deal with it.

Big return...
The big return/play by the other team to start the second half is becoming tradition. I don’t like it.
g-rob tackles right there
Trying to hit off me is like trying to eat soup with chopsticks.
-Ryohei Tanaka, with AA Bowie
Tackling
That was a big couple of hits on Lewis. Say what you will about this team, but they have learned to hit. That is no small improvement over the matador style of tackling of the last few years.
Of course, as I write this, Lewis breaks off 30 yards on the screen with 2-3 missed tackles.
Can we all agree that Hogue does not deserve the bone this week?
He’s generating a staggering amount of whiffs out there.
Freedom Tray
Used to be called the French Tray before 2003
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
FREEDOM TRAY
OMGzz I need that! You can even bring it to the game and make your child hold it for you and the adults! Ruin the game for him (her?) instead of just having each person handle their own food! Also, I frequently just toss huge drinks with no lids into the passenger seat (“make a mess of your car!”) when I do drive through. This will save me thousands in wet vac costs alone!
Damn straight
When is the last time you went to a drive-through with no spill stoppers? Plus, that stupid foreigner lady talking in the commercial just pisses me off.

Only thing better than a Freedom Tray is a Free Freedom Tray. Still have faith. Even if we don’t have a QB or any WRs we can definitely beat the #14 team. This is how delusional/hopeful I am.

Was at a bar with two Western Michigan fans
right before the game started against Michigan State, overheard one of them say “I’m nervous.” How cute is that?
They’re getting killed, btw.

So that Health Insurance ad..
in the fine print at the top, it said “This is not a health insurance plan. This is not a Medicare RX drug plan.”
I was watching on mute...
And wasn’t paying attention for a second but looked back right when the WR made Niko look like a fool. At first I thought it was a punt return and, based solely on his movements, thought it was our punter. How pathetic is that?

pitt's tough to gameplan for
their best receiver lines up as their TE, which means we have safeties covering him
I dont think we have safeties
anymore

Can we just have Delone play QB?
He’s probably capable of throwing INTs, which has evolved into about 80% of the passing game.
can i have a jersey, pads, and a helmet?
I’ll do it.

worked for an apt complex as a property manager
if they are moving things to other rooms, espcially if they are lifting heavy ass things, I would tip a bit. if you’ve done all the leg work getting the rooms ready, natch.
I know this is obvious...
But this team really sucks without Mike Williams. He stretched the defense and really made them account for him – and he STILL burned them. There’s no one to throw to any more and other teams know it.
As I write this – nice throw and catch from Paulus to Chew.
No coincidence
we cant score a TD today
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician - The Syracuse blog that cares.
what is this strange formation Paulus is running?
seriously, the snaps he is getting are terrible, usually to the side.
