i have tobe the number one sucker

Troy nunes is an absolute magician, you are wise beyond your years. The only thing more pathetic is Louisville. I have problems with my heart. my heart believes in the cuse, cuse does not believe in winning, thats a problem. Grob does not believe in his team, that is the biggest problem. the minute you lose all confidence in your team, you need to go. Grob go back to Pacific, that is more your level! This is Syracuse we need to win, if not there is nothing left but snow and basketball. Gross admit to a mistake and fix it. Coughlin could be on his way!

what the f%$#

This is it, I have finally taken the gloves off. Grob need to go. His job was on the line, and he handed it over. As i was watching the game on the upper east side of NYC, I heard things like we held strong with Miami of Ohio. hello, this is Miami of Ohio, not Miami. what the f%^$. the only thing scarier, is how bad is Louisville. I first lost hope when, SU had 4th down and one with 4 minutes left, that was less than two feet by the way. What do they do they punt. Gross should have fired him that second. then the score is 14-17, Miami, SU just scored. what do they do, they do a semi onside and kick it 30 yards, so no su players could recover, don't they practice this. what in gods name do they practice.

This team has major issues. the only offense they have is on passes. there is no hope for any running, and any good coach can see that. Curtis Brinkley has no help, and should not have thus load of runs. why in gods name can a team run one year and the next it can't. yeah they pretty much had the same offense and defense. that says the injury on Brinkley was worse than anticipated, and he probably should not be playing. where is the balance, how many runs and passes where called in the second half, i bet the passes far out numbered the runs. i know what your thinking, last weekend when they won i was happy, but this is pathetic, the only thing worse would be a loss to Buffalo, and in all reality, it could happen. troy nunes is an absolute magician shut down the bowl count off, not going to happen!

grob this was miami of ohio not miami. get with the program. you have been an assistant for twenty years, there might be a reason for it. you should grow some balls, and resign, you are and never where up for the task of returning this team to prominence. leave us in misery NOW!!!!!

Local Hero

You Know its nice to see a local kid make good. Last night a good friend risked his life to catch a known fugitive. Great work Mikey D, you continue to make us proud.

A 44-year-old Syracuse man is facing a slew of charges after he reportedly led police on a chase overnight. Lucious Paul Jr., of 402 Hoefler St., is facing charges including driving while intoxicated, third-degree aggravated unauthorized operation and failure to comply, according to police reports.

The incident began when police, who had been on the look out for Paul, received information that the suspect was driving a 2006 Ford Fusion in the area of Hoefler and Bellevue Avenue, according to the report, which indicated that Paul was being sought on a warrant for menacing and criminal possession of a weapon related to an incident last Sunday.
The suspect led police mostly along Bellevue until he crashed into a telephone pole along the 3000 block of Bellevue near Onondaga Boulevard. The suspect was transported to University Hospital for treatment of injuries that included a bloody nose, according to the report.

Miami of Ohio

Syracuse is entering Saturdays game feeling pretty good about themselves. Just a week ago they pulled off the biggest upset in school, strike that big east history, beating the Louisville cardinals on the road. This Week they are going into the intimidating Yager Field in Miami of Ohio. As they come out of the tunnel to enter the field they are going to be greeted by unruly fans, that's right it's family weekend.

I have been doing some research on the reds hawks, cause i did not know anything about them. I was shocked to find out how informative their website is. It points out all there tradition and how they are a force to be reckoned with. Then it talks about their amazing tailgating and everything it has to offer. take a look at the pix. pretty amazing!

Wow, good times. I have always wanted to go to a tailgate like this. Now check out the activities:

September 29 vs. Syracuse:
Performing Live JT and Sarge
17 foot Pepsi Video Truck
Interactive games
- 50 ft. Obstacle Course
- Equalizer Sports Challenge
- Football Toss
- Moonwalk
- Cornhole (bag toss)

Sign me up for the moonwalk, nope i changed my mind, that might be the most lame tailgate i have ever seen.

Anyways i have a question, how can Syracuse only be favored by 1.5 points. Against a team that is 1-3 and only has a win against Ball State, Where is Ball State anyways. How has it gotten this bad. Grob needs to march his band of orangemen threw that pathetic tailgate town, threw those unruly 12 and 13 year old fans and shove that ball down those red hawks throats. Make a stand, start a win streak, and get themselves back on the map. I have full faith that they can do it. No They are going to do it. Lets go Orange!!!!

can it be.

Can it be, Syracuse is favored for the first time this year. We are moving up in the world. On the road and still favored.

Can it be Syracuse could start a thing called a winning streak.
I might be a fore thinker here, but SU can make it 2 wins in a row, and 2 wins in a row against the same opponent. Who knows, maybe on Sunday, i can blog about how Greg Robinson has Miami's number,too bad it's Miami of Ohio.

Can it be, Syracuse Orange is rated number one.
Number one against all New York schools, woo hoo! congrats Dr Gross, And Coach Robinson, you should be proud, just remember that team from buffalo is nipping at your heels.

Giddy!!!!!!

Well i have to admit, i am one of those fans who are juiced about that huge win. I caught myself yesterday saying Syracuse could finish 500 and earn a bowl. Do you know what, i still believe that, I believed it from the opening kickoff against the huskies. This team has issues, but it seems, at least for now they have fixed a few of the. I will tell you this, if this teams can repair the defense, and the running game it has a shot to finish 500. In my heart i know it can be done, but we are talking about a Syracuse team that was so abysmal the three weeks pryer I was surprised they even showed up to Louisville. I am very proud of this teams confidence. How many of us would have shown up after the annihilation it has endured this season.

So, I am going to be optimistic here, lets go bowling!!!!!!!!!

lets go orange

Well things are lookin up. we have a real win. A win on the road vs a ranked team. this is huge. we had a glimpse of the west coast offense. we are in a two way tie for 1st place in the big east. Lets go orange! sorry i am kind of pumped.

Grob

After that win, i promise i will not call for your firing until after the season. If it is up to me, and its not, you need to some how win 4 more to save your job. But i must congratulate you on a very nice win! Well Done

Louisville, Great Beards of zues

What in God's name has happen to you. Yesterday, you guys got ran over by a mediocre Syracuse offense that, up until last week could not pass food around the dinner table.

All me to sing, Na na na na you suck, nana, na na na na, you suck!

wow, wow.

Allow me to tell you all a true story. During the pregame, i was flipping around sports talk radio stations on my way to Canada. Every station i heard had Syracuse going down badly. I heard things like pathetic, no talent, play the freshman cause the season is over, and prepare for the future. I, myself have been ranting all week on how bad this team is, and how badly we need a change. Well let me tell you something and this is no lie. Opening kickoff i heard the announcer say "Andrew Robinson, three step drop, looks down field, throws to an open Taj Smith. It's caught, Taj at the forty, thirty, twenty, ten, touchdown Syracuse. I said right there, if Su's defense holds them they are going to win! That is no lie, i had a feeling after that miracle of a pass, after that miracle of a call , and after that miracle of a catch!

I have no idea what got into that team. The offense (other than the running game) looked amazing. Arob looked like a man possessed. I have never seen an su qb stand in the pocket make a throw knowing he was going to be leveled. I have to commend the O line, i have no idea where that performance came from but well done. The receivers a++. My only question is, where in gods name is the defense. Have they packed it in, why is Joe Fields the leading Tackler on the team.

I ended up watching the 2nd half, it was one of the best offensive games i have ever seen, But i am very confused. Greg Robinson was hired as a defensive coach first. Where is the defense. It is non existent.

So allow me to say this well down, well done. I owe everyone on the offensive side of the ball an apology. That was a great performance. Greg if you had anything to do with that, you better figure out what you did and do it every week. Brian White, great play calling. Most exciting SU game i have watched since Mcnabb days.

blog qoutes for grob

Greg Robinson - Syracuse: One really has to wonder what Coach Robinson and his staff have been doing in the off-season, coaching this football team or playing tiddly-winks? The Orange played bad against Washington, missing tackles, making stupid mistakes, lots of penalties, etc., but much worse for Robinson, it look like his team quit on him in the second half. Something is very wrong in Syracuse if your team is quitting on you in the 1st game of the season, and somebody on that staff better start coaching these players or all of those coaches are going to find themselves out of work, and very soon.

On to the latest Coaches Hot Seat Rankings, and here are your Top 10 Coaches on the Hot Seat:
1. Charlie Weis - Ty isn't looking so bad now. Genius? What a joke!
2. Houston Nutt - Run the ball Houston! What a nut, make that a stupid nut!
3. Mike Stoops - Bob Stoops has a job for you, so don't fret.
4. Greg Robinson - Mack Brown has a job for you, so don't fret.
5. Tommy Tuberville - The jet is warming up, and Tubby gets the big $!

My question is what are they going to say when you get blown out of Louisville.

Donovan McNabb

As a Die hard cuse fan i love and support all former Syracuse players. That being said you are making it alot more difficult to support you when your constantly speaking out your a$$. Did you wake up yesterday and decide i have not been in the news in a few days! We let you slide on your Vick statement!

pass for 300 yards, our team wins by seven, [mimicking] 'Ah, he could've made this throw, they would have scored if he did this,' " McNabb tells HBO.


Do you agree with Donovan McNabb's claim that black quarterbacks face more scrutiny than their white counterparts?
Yes
No
"Doesn't every quarterback go through that?" Brown asks.
"Not everybody," McNabb replies.
Brown then asks if the media is tougher on him than on white quarterbacks such as Carson Palmer and Peyton Manning.
"Let me start by saying I love those guys," McNabb tells HBO. "But they don't get criticized as much as we do. They don't."

Hey Donovan you might want to take your head out of your a$$. Look at Rex Grossman, he went to the super bowl last year and now they want to run him out of town. last time i checked he was white. How about the Manning's. Up until now Peyton was the biggest choker next to Custard and dont get me started on Eli! What are you thinking!
Next time you bitch about pressure, people not appreciating you go take a look at your bank account, last time I checked you were getting paid! Shut up and take it.

ps can't wait to hear from his parents.

Bob Costas

Did anyone here the rantings of Bob Costas today on Jim Rome.
Allow me to quote this "I believe blogs are mean spirited and uniformed." He also rants on that blogs are a bad thing and they should not be taken seriously. I really don't think that anyone who sells his sole to HBO should ever say anybody else should not be taken serious. Mr. Costas allow me to clear something up, Just because a person is not on T.V. opening up his big mouth just to hear himself speak does not mean we are not informed! Every post i right is my own beliefs and thoughts, if I right about facts then check them before i right them! You might want to think before you start preaching. Mr Costas just remember, we the blog writers are the one's in the trenches. When was the last time you spoke to a fan, and what i mean by fan is a person who pays for his own tickets and cheers a team or person on cause they want to, not cause they are getting paid for it!

Cusefan out

Grobs job!

I have been hearing alot about Greg Robinson's job security over the past few days. Yesterday afternoon, i was listening to the only local sports talk show in Syracuse.(more on that later)

Bud and the Manchild was having a debate over Grob:

1. Must go now
2.Finish the year
3.finish his contract

The thing that stood out the most was Bud saying that Greg should stay as long as he earns his time. I am no rocket scientist, but has he earned one game this year. I agree year one and two are freebies but they should be on the upward spiral, not still on the downward! Lets face the facts, Greg Robinson is a great guy, never gets upset, never frowns, is great for the community, BUT HE IS NOT GREAT FOR SYRACUSE FOOTBALL. Picture this, you are a 17 year old kid and you are being recruited by Syracuse, Rutgers, Penn State, and lets even throw in UConn. Now what school do you cross of 1st. Rutgers, Penn State, and UConn have a combined record of
9-0 vs Syracuse's 0-3. Now lets talk about total points:
Penn State: 135-34
Rutgers: 138-54
UConn: 105-31
now lets see what SU has done:
30-118

Now factor in Getting Blown out on national TV, then on the big ten network(thank god nobody get that station), and then on ESPN U which everyone with cable gets now.

Lets see now where am i going to go. Lets break this down some more, Syracuse can Offer playing time, start right now, and, and, nope that's it.

If i am a recruit,I have to be saying to myself why in my right mind would i want to get my butt kicked week in and week out, and not even look good doing it. Look at Joe Fields, he could start on any top 25 team, but because this team is so bad he looks like a bum. I have to say There is not a shot in hell any top recruit would come here unless a change is made. What change could it be:
1. new turf
2. new orange paint in the dome
3. some stupid statues that don't look like anybody
4.new coach with experience turning programs around(Dr. Gross you fooled us once that will not happen a 2ND time) I do not care what Pete Carroll says!

I have to say a new coach might be able to turn the tide, MIGHT BE ABLE!

So getting back to the whole coaching thing, My theory is this, Syracuse should cut there losses now, allow one of Grobs assistants to take over for the rest of the season(you might get surprised), Phil Early or Brian White could fill in nicely(lets face the facts it can't get any worse). Anyways by doing this a few things could happen, players might get a fire lit under there A$$ and you send a message now to possible recruits. Here is the message, We are Syracuse, We are not going to accept mediocrity, come here and win with us!

Cuse Fan

I'm king of the world

Who would of thought that a little boy from a small village outside of Syracuse would have such a following. Chris M. another local die hard, has brought to my attention that one of my favorite blog sites, Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician has reposted one of my posts.(i do not believe that was grammatically correct, but i am too excited)

I would like to thank him for the support and i hope that one day i can be that inspiring!
Everyone check it out

does this look like anything you have seen before

If anyone showed up to the game early on saturday then they saw SU warmup, no joking aside it looked alot like this, only thing worse was bishop ludden football coming out holding hands in '96.

Grob should use this speach on his defense
