Awful team: Getting p0wned by Washington, which has won eight games the last three years; no winning record since 2001 after 15 straight winning seasons; gone from the home of Donovan McNabb, Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney, Art Monk, Larry Csonka, Floyd Little to the home of no one anyone has ever heard of. Total irrelevance on the national scene.


Awful home field: huge, hot, muggy,

While the Dome does suck in terms of comfort, the atmosphere is incredible when there's something to cheer about, which obviously there isn't much football-wise at the moment. I was at a basketball game once with 32-35,000 people. Unreal experience.

As for the football team, Pasqualoni's last few recruiting classes were terrible and Robinson has done nothing to make it better, obviously. Robinson is far too defensive-minded and the offense has been an atrocity because of it.

Good....God! Is Illinois breaking out their orange tomorrow against Mizzou? I thought those were bad.

I liked the old jerseys. Simple, classy.

Syracuse football: All Orange, no men.
Well played.
Saw the Sweet 16/ Elite 8 in the Dome. It was an absolute blast. Campus was nice, but entire town needed a new coat of paint. Or 30.
 
I watching the re-broadcast right now -- Greg Robinson has really turned this program into a joke. I said he was a bad hire at the time when he was hired and I think the administration needs to cut this thing off before he turns this once-proud program into SUNY-Buffalo, which got mauled yesterday by Rutgers.

Remember when the Kansas City Chiefs had one of the best defenses in the NFL? Derrick Thomas, Neil Smith, Dan Saleamua, etc.

Who was the Defensive Coordinator during the early part of this decade when it was the worst in the NFL? Greg Robinson.

Who was the Defensive Coordinator that Vermeil defended and was crying for after costing Kansas City numerous games over and over?

Greg ****ing Robinson. Damn good thing Mack Brown isn't saddled with that disaster on the sidelines anymore.
 
Can we just agree that the color orange should be no where near a football uniform?

I think it looks good in Cincinnati. Other than that, though, I've got no problem agreeing with that statement.

Perhaps Washington is better than Syracuse? on the scoreboard AND in terms of the uniforms.

Unfortunately this will be true about just about every team that Syracuse plays this year.

No, because I like it when used correctly. It's great as a trim color and sometimes as the main one -- the Broncos' classic Orange Crush jerseys, for example.
