Our football guru provides some of his thoughts about Syracuse football following its week-two setback.

“It’s not their fault…They didn’t know,” said Syracuse football head coach Dino Babers.

This is a small piece of the masterful postgame speech that Babers gave to his team following its 2016 defeat of the then highly-touted and 16th ranked Virginia Tech Hokies squad.

I love Dino’s passion. And I really love his energy. It is something that, prior to his arrival, we had lacked in the Syracuse football coaching ranks for many years (Scott Shafer and Doug “Dream Job” Marrone had their positives, but the fact is, this level of energy was not one of them).
