Syracuse fans overreacting?
Jan 18, 2014, 5:52 AM
|
|
Syracuse fans are still upset about Dabo's decision to go for a touchdown instead of kick a field goal on 4th and goal at the end of the first half. They've even named an award for him in honor of someone (writer, coach, etc.) who shows the most disrespect for Syracuse football... opinion not based on fact or whatever.
http://www.nunesmagician.com/2014/1/16/5313750/syracuse-orange-football-awards-voting-biggest-dabo
Of course Dabo and Clemson were one of the 3 finalists for the award, but interestingly were in 3rd place:
http://www.nunesmagician.com/2014/1/17/5316046/syracuse-football-dabo-biggest-award
While I think we should have just kicked the FG, the 28 point lead we had at the half (35-7) after the failed TD attempt was hardly game over. After they came out and scored a TD early in the 3rd, it was only a 21 point lead with plenty of time left and they had momentum.
Besides, wasn't the verbal assault with profanity on national TV by Coach Schafer a little disrespectful or at least not very classy. And some of their players had been kind of trash talking the week leading up to the game. Oh well, they have a chip on their shoulder, they hate us, and we may have another rivalry brewing

I can tell you they love to create reasons to hate rivals. Their next Georgetown. It's great. But, if they're serious, I hope they bring Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Floyd Little and Larry Csonka all to Clemson when they come next year.

I'm from there and they are a total embarrassment. Starting with all their pregame talk--we're gonna lock the doors and keep Clemson in the "loud house?, we'll kick the crap out of Boyd, We'll hold Sammy up at the Line of scrimmage, you'll never score 30 on our defense (they forgot to add in the first quarter), in 2014 we might upset Clemson, ND, and FSU! My response--open your wallets and let's talk serious turkey!! Over the years they've had some great teams and players but not in recent times and they just can't seem to get over the fact that they are not a player on the national stage.Their total ignorance of the facts is astounding and their knowledge of football, recruiting, coaching is even worse! I was at the 2013 game and that little dome they play in is a piece of doo-doo! Loud House? Yea until they were behind by 21 after the first quarter! Their loudmouth, foul speaking coach is a disgrace and should have been fired for his vulgar words on regional/national TV. Then again, why would anyone want to live there with no jobs, no economy, welfare beyond belief,poor weather, etc. Some of us with at least a half a brain got out some 20 years ago and never looked back. In Death Valley in 2014 I certainly hope that we give them a good, sound beating and teach them that when you haven't got it,time to keep your mouth shut! Can't wait fore the 2014 Tigers!!! Just might be a special year!

the only loudness was the piped in train whistle. the fans, not so much.
Jan 18, 2014, 9:23 AM

and i don't understand the train connection. they aren't an engineering school are they? they seem like just douchy liberal arts majors, i can't imagine them actually engineering something like a steam engine.

things you mentioned about Syracuse. Like no jobs, no economy, welfare beyond belief. You can add in meth use, one of the worst public school systems in the nation, high STD rate, some of the most dangerous highways in the nation, a top ten state for violence, and number one in domestic abuse.
So I take it you didn't move to South Carolina, since you have moved away from Syracuse. Because the problems you were mentioning about Syracuse is a thousand fold here in South Carolina.

Some people don't like others that are successful and try to bring them down because of their own insecurities and failures.

When they come to the Valley this year ...
Jan 18, 2014, 11:48 AM

... we'll show them the meaning of (dis)respect.
Maybe we can install a golf ball washer somewhere on the field and have Bill Murray reprise his role during the game (staring at the Syracuse coach the whole time).

Syracuse has a football team? It sure didn't seem like it
Jan 18, 2014, 1:50 PM
|
|
that day.
I don't think anyone here was disrespecting them, we were just stunned by the (over)confidence coming from their fans and team.
And then for them to do on the field exactly what we thought they would... Where do they have any room to continue stuff like this?
I'll tell you what's disrespectful. The beatdown we put on them in their own place.

Cuse didn't give up in the game. Why should we if they keep playing hard and try to make a come back?

The best part of this is the irony:
They don't like Clemson fans because we were "disrespectful" before the game saying Cuse could not hang with us. They are mad at Dabo for going for the TD to put the game away since they in fact could not hang with us.
The pregame quotes from Cuse players were pretty funny. They have entrenched themselves as a poor man's NC State - could do something once in a while, but no real concern for actually winning big.

The majority of Syracuse fans are like the former high school football star who never did anything else in their life. Now here they are 50 years old, working the counter at the local sporting goods store and getting in bar fights anytime anybody suggests they aren't the best thing in the world.

Trademark Infringement

Dabo trademarked his name last year, as noted in new contract. Time to sue for $ or at least send nice legal cease and desist letter to the Cuse.

To spell it out for the stup[id, a coach takes risks like
Jan 18, 2014, 2:47 PM

that when they can to give their team practice for when they might absolutely need to run such a play at a future time.
Why didn't their defense stop it? They should be mad at their coaches.
