By Dave Cooperman “I’m not wrong on a lot of things, especially when it comes to the team. I truly believe that. I think I have a good sense of the team. I talked about it early in the year. I don’t know if you remember, but I talked about this year being a transitional [...]

57 Comments By Dave Cooperman Four more quarters, 60 more minutes, countless more mistakes, thousands more fans turned off and then mercifully it will all be over. The Syracuse football season – heading towards an inevitable 5-7 conclusion, reeking of failure and embarrassment, letting down anyone who had even a glimmer of hope back in August that [...]
Syracuse Is Back . . . Unfortunately
November 7th, 2011 Dave Cooperman 5 Comments By Dave Cooperman Sometimes bad teams win games in the most improbable fashion and then before you have a chance to comprehend the long term meaning they go back to being exactly who they had been all along. The questions about whether the true identity of this Orange team was the victory against West Virginia [...]
The Fluke And The Failure
October 30th, 2011 Dave Cooperman 3 Comments By Dave Cooperman If you, like me, spent the past week on cloud nine, dreaming of Miami in January and patting Marrone on the back for turning a corner then you have to wake up this morning kicking Marrone in the ass and thinking St. Pete in December.

Standing At The Crossroads
October 21st, 2011 Dave Cooperman No Comments By Dave Cooperman Do you remember the bad old days? The days when a 4-2 start to your season was the type of thing you wished for?

Syracuse Has A Football Atmosphere Problem
September 24th, 2011 Dave Cooperman 3 Comments By Dave Cooperman I have laid low on the attendance issue because at the end of the day it isn’t my place to tell people how to spend their money.

The ACC And You
September 18th, 2011 Dave Cooperman 4 Comments By Dave Cooperman Has this been the craziest 24 hours in the history of Syracuse sports? In terms of the stealth nature of these talks, the speed at which it got done and the long-term impact, I think you could easily make the case. Say it with me, Syracuse is going to the ACC. It [...]
Work To Be Done On The Rhode To USC
September 9th, 2011 Dave Cooperman No Comments By Dave Cooperman I am not Doug Marrone so fortunately I don’t have to serve up clichés about not looking ahead, focusing on one game at a time, taking Rhode Island very seriously and not even thinking about playing USC next week. What Orange fan hasn’t zipped right past this weekend’s glorified exhibition/tune-up game with [...]

September 1st, 2011 Dave Cooperman 2 Comments By Dave Cooperman Well it’s finally here. It’s game night in the Carrier Dome and by now you have read the previews, listened to the analysts, drawn your conclusions and it’s near unanimous when it comes to the Syracuse defense. Apparently they aren’t going to be very good. Well I think everyone is in for [...]
