For fun - guess the Cuse / Clemson score...

[pepband99]

Clemson is -28.5 , or thereabouts...

There is some bad blood here, and Clemson won by 35 with a lesser team, and likely against a better Cuse squad.

I'm going to go with 55-10.

Clemson 80 Cuse 2 on a late safety

Clemson can name their score. The thing that worries me most if I made a Clemson play is whether or not they will remain interested in continuing to compete for 60 minutes to cover that number. We'll likely see 2nd team in the 2nd quarter, the band in the 3rd, and a bunch of players friends and family in the 4th. But my gut says they will still cover. The Fruit are absolutely pitiful.

Like Priceline.

I think Cuse's problems go well beyond this game. Who knows, maybe they play well at home against the #1 team in the country.

They are rumbling about Shafer and with a new AD he may very well get the ax. That's a fan base with completely unrealistic expectations and as a result they are at risk of seeing constant coaching turnover every 3-4 years. Cuse cannot be successful under that model.

They can talk all they want about being in a big boy conference. But, until you start winning I think that program is at real risk of the perpetual cellar.

48-12

58-7.

Pretty sure Syracuse said......" ah, f##k it!"

 

[Dooley]

Clemson might cover 30 points by the end of the quarter. The second team is already stretching and getting ready on the sidelines.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Cuse's unis are pretty freakin bad

What in the world is happening here!!!

Curse of the Boneyard. Just a few seconds after I posted my "end of the quarter" reply, Clemson can't hold onto the football any more.

Not sure why Clemson decided that it was a good idea to sit their starting qb in the first freakin quarter in the first place...at least let things get out of reach first

 

[husky10]

Really impressed how few fans showed up to watch them play the number 1 team in the country.

They probably read my post and thought that playing their 2nd team was a good idea. Further proof that I should not be a head coach.

Unless it's lacrosse season, Fruit fans don't care.

Basketball season? Cuse was second in the nation in attendance. But I agree that this is a very poor showing for football. When we were at our worst, after a loss to freakin Towson and Edsall's UMD, our fans packed the house for Michigan

So this is my first time I've seen the Fruit this year. Since when did they switch to an option offense? Given our struggles against it, I am now a bit worried for our matchup next year.

They'll probably have a new offense next year once their coaching staff is fired

Very true. Hey, I hear Pasqualoni is available on the market. Probably within their price range too.

 

[upstater]

ACC refs step in to preserve the ACCs #1 ranking. Unreal.

 

[Dooley]

The B12 refs need to do something to help out their last hope at a Playoff spot! Oklahoma St down by 10 to Iowa State in the 2nd half.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Do we root for Cuse? I would like to see the ACC get screwed out of the playoff

 

[Dooley]

There are too many schools and conferences that I do not want to see get in. The ACC and B12 can go punt. Notre Dame too. If the playoff could magically be Ohio St, Stanford, Alabama and another 1-loss SEC school, I would be happy. Another year for the B12 to mull over expansion, more pressure on the ACC and Notre Dame to make something happen, and another year that the B1G is represented (ensuring their football product is safe).
