Congrats to LSU on the win. I know it's not the margin or performance overall you guys were hoping for, but I'm holding out hope some of you might realize that SU wasn't quite as bad as advertised. I'm rooting for LSU to have a terrific season. You guys have been incredibly classy, cordial fans, ...
Syracuse fan stopping in to say that I want you all to know I'm writing an angry letter to Congress pleading with them to make Leonard Fournette illegal. Good god....
[quote]It turns out that Texas A&M is one of the few teams in NCAA history to invoke the Mercy Rule (continuous clock) during their 77-0 loss to Oklahoma in 2003. [/quote] A little more recently (earlier this season), they actually shortened the second half in the 76-0 win for Boston College over H...
[quote]Jim Brown is one of the greatest athletes in American history. Led the NFL 8 out of 9 years in rushing and NEVER missed a game in those 9 years. He is also widely considered the greatest lacrosse player of all-time.[/quote] It's kind of amazing that he only retired out of pure spite and stub...
[quote]semi-related... "Earnie Davis, Jim brown, Floyd Little... Thank you guys for paving the way for us running backs to this day GOATS " - LF7 on twitter (sorry, at bar typing verbatim here what buddy of mine is reading off of Twitter) [/quote] Saw that. Fournette is making it diffic...
[quote]I think Jim Brown. He was about the same size, was fast, and was able to accelerate, then able to bowl people over or spin and run away from them. He should have won the Heisman.[/quote] Obviously, can't go wrong with either. Fournette also seems like a pretty humble kid, so I'll go with E...
Probably closer to Ernie. Jim was mostly brute strength, as you alluded to. Ernie was the faster of the two. Had Ernie not passed away, he'd have been the tailback with Brown as the fullback for Cleveland....

The word from folks in Syracuse (sadly, I'm an SU fan/alum stuck in Texas and unable to join in the festivities) is that all of the bars down in Armory Square are already filling up with lots of purple and gold. Wish I could be up there this weekend. I don't expect a pretty game from a Syracuse p...

[quote]That is not a real name.[/quote] Hey, you guys should all know Tebucky - he played for the Saints for a couple years after spending most of his career with the Patriots. He and Donovin Darius made up the best set of safeties Syracuse has ever had in the '90s....
Any of you guys head to Cooperstown, outside of just the Hall of Fame (which is great, at least the first time you visit), I'd highly recommend checking out Ommegang Brewery. It's not too far outside of Cooperstown and has some great beer. I'm sure some of you are probably familiar with it, it's rel...
[quote]how many times do you think your QB will throw?[/quote] I think we'll rotate at least 2 QBs, so total passes attempted? I'd wager 15-20, depending on how things go. I can't imagine we'll try to throw it more than 25 times....
[quote]I'm sorry, it is solid against the sisters of the poor. I hope (apparently you don't quite completely understand) that you realize that you aren't playing the sisters of the poor. Sure you can out talent very weak teams.....but you are going up against the best OL that you have faced in many ...

Hope you don't mind an SU fan chiming in... By quarter: 1Q: LSU 10, SU 0 2Q: LSU 24, SU 3 3Q: LSU 38, SU 6 4Q: LSU 45, SU 13 I'm realistic and also figure Les will ease off the gas as the second half wears on. ...
I'd plan on heading over earlier than you'd probably think. The Dome being on campus is great when you're a student; not so much when you're a regular fan. The infrastructure getting to and from there isn't great because it wasn't designed with a big stadium in mind....
SU's run defense is definitely solid. Not "3rd in the nation" good, but it's a young, talented, but not particularly deep front 7. Most of the guys who play are true sophomores/redshirt freshmen, with the occasional true freshman, and maybe a junior sprinkled in here and there. There's no real depth...
Please don't let the asinine, tasteless jokes of one dude let you think we're all a bunch of jackass douchebags. Most of us are perfectly reasonable people with only a hint of jackass or douchebag, but rarely both traits. And obviously, most of us are fully aware the odds of us pulling off an up...
Should be a better showing from Syracuse fans in the stands. Not only because of the opponent, but it's parent's weekend at SU and they're trying to push as many of the families to the game as possible. Hopefully they stay past halftime. It'll be interesting to see how your LSU players do on t...

Harry's, at least when I was a student at SU, was sketchy as hell but we went there every Monday because they had 50 cent Bud bottles and free wings for MNF. It was also the place to be if you wanted to buy cocaine, so I'm told. So I guess if you've got any Tony Montanas in your groups, it's your...
I wouldn't recommend walking from Kitty Hoynes. It's a hike, and half of it is uphill, and across some pretty heavy traffic. It's a great little Irish pub though. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives (the 8 minute video about it is pretty easily found online, to get a sense of what the pl...
