LB on Syracuse team mentality: "WHY NOT US???"
Oct 21, 2022, 4:18 PM

Syracuse linebacker Mikel Jones wrote a piece for The Players Tribune that documented the Orange's path to a 6-0 start and the challenge ahead on Saturday in Clemson:
"All I can say about Clemson is: We’re ready, man. Everyone in this locker room is prepared, and everyone in this locker room been prepared. We know we’re going to have to play our best football, and we know what it’s going to take for us to get there. That whole other level I was telling you we can reach?? It’s time for us to go reach it. That unfinished business I was talking about?? It’s time for us to go handle it."
"...it’s something that I wanted to tell our team: We put in a lot of pain to get to this moment, y’all. We took a lot of L’s. We went through a lot of tough times. But none of that matters now. Let everyone doubt us … let them keep talking. All I’m focused on is: WHY NOT US??? Why can’t WE be the group that keeps finding a way???"

Because you're Syracuse!

I’m glad an undefeated team hasn't given up. Otherwise, I would have to question why they are undefeated.

Maybe because the schedule that they’ve played (essentially all at home) is not that great?
I’m just spitballing here.

Seems to me The Old Ball Sac said something similar about

the Coots years ago. He found out that even he, an offensive jeanus, could only take chikins so far. And, just like pre-Titanium Lt. Dan, Oranges don't even got laigs to walk on. Woah is them.

With all this trash talking from Cuse, I expect there to be a lot of “they weren’t that much better or better than us at all” exCUSEs after the game
