Dino Babers should be among our first.

Syracuse was terrrrrrrible when he took over. And he's making winners out of them.

Heard Mac pumps the players up after a big win by playing this song:

Not saying that Babers hasn't done a great job or that Cuse hasn't played a great game, but starting a thread over an opening drive is silly. I mean we drove right up the field for a TD against Bama last year to start the game, and look how that turned out.

Ok, so which team looks more prepared to play an entire game. Our team from last year or this Cuse team challenging the defending national champs tonight?

Once again, not comparing teams or coaches, simply stating that getting worked up over an opening drive is a bit premature in most cases. Looks like the Orange are going to take this one.

Syracuse will lose by 20

They looked more prepared to play in that opening drive than we have in three years.

What's it gonna be tonight?

Hindsight is 20/20.

I got no use for #twitterfacegram but I like where your going with this.

With about a third of the talent. Guess that doesn’t matter

The shrug is appropriate: you totally missed the point.

Don’t get grumpy with me gramps.

What exactly was your point then?

I just spent all of last week listening to this board tell me how sorry LSU was. Not entirely sure that was the case.

They tore through Clemson's defense. I don't think they are so good.

Had a feeling you were going that route. I will kindly disagree— lsu is a talented team, but also very poorly coached (sound familiar?) and witha crappy Qb.

We will know more after their game vs Aub tomorrow.

It's not getting worked up over one or two drives. There was a show of preparedness early in the game that people could project to the rest of the game.

Babers has out performed in all 3 of his head coaching jobs. At some point it's a pattern.

Syracuse was a dead football program for 10 plus years. He now has a better win (maybe 2) at Syracuse than Florida has had since January 8, 2009 (could maybe argue October 10, 2009 @ LSU).

But, while fun to watch, I'm mostly depressed as we are still stuck with Mac for another 1.5 putrid years - I really hope I'm wrong but we'd need to really tank to get rid of the sockless doufus this year.

Also: Babers has 3 championships in 5 full seasons as a head coach. We'll likely pass on him for another year of Mac - who has zero championships as a head coach.

Babers personality would also recruit well in florida.

I'm pouring another bourbon now.
