I think half the Syracuse bloggers I know about are based out of SoCal these days. Which makes perfect sense if you’ve ever been to Syracuse. We love our Orange, but we don’t want to live there. Well, except maybe during basketball season when the Orange are on a roll.

Dave, It’s too bad you had to move so far to find another team. Or to hide in their shadow, but I did say I was sorry. Like Pat Dye said when interviewed by the TV people about all the Syracuse people being upset about the field goal. ” Well…. They should have scored more points”. My memory fails me on the exact yardage, I think it was 4th and 12 or more. And we did go for it several times to get where we were. OK, 20 years later, I got it off my chest. Too bad Dye messed up , he sure turned our program around. If Syracuse could find one like him it would be good, minus the payola.

#17, I’ll tell you what. If you guys in the SEC — we all know you really run college football anyway, despite some interlopers from my current home in SoCal trying to spoil the fun — can get rid of the abomination that is regular season overtime, and play us, and we tie again, then you can get some more ties. But I don’t think even with Croom-esque karma on our side, we could come close to tying Auburn right now.

13 & 15

What about Walt Harris? He needs a job, knows the area and has proven he can build a program in the NE.

Cornnuts? Fritos? Awesome… The worst part of that whole game on Saturday will be trying to decide which one of those d-bags is acually the worst coach on the field

I was talking about the 1988 Sugar Bowl when AU/ Syracuse tied 16-16 and they sent us hundreds of ties. Pat Dye signed them and sold them.

Any chance we can release the rare coaching mongoloid Bill Stewart ( Timeouteus Challengeoused) into the Carrier Dome habitat?

Granted, things aren’t looking so rosey for us Auburn fans. So please send us some more ties, we sold the last batch along time ago. War Eagle, and next time YOU go for it. If there is a next time. Sorry, I’ve been waiting a LONG time for that one.

@15, why would we do that? He’s a halfway decent coach, knows the northeast, and there’s at least some small chance he might take the job.

Excuse? No. Funny? Yes.

I certainly hope GRob is fired after losing this game; we’ve got a bye week coming up, so there’s no excuse for keeping the walking dead around.

There’s just something about a grown man being referred to as “little guy” that tickles the ol’ funnybone.

It is not a good list, no.

This is Your Captain Speaking,

Fair enough.

Holly,

I assume you mean your stab-in-the-throat-with-a-pen list?
