Official Idiotic Predictions -Syracuse v. Buffalo

It may be late in the day, but never fear, your idiotic predictions for "the Battle for NY" are here. Let's not waste any time.


Champ


With Syracuse clinging to a 20-19 lead, Buffalo takes over at their own 10 yard line with 2:00 left to play. A gallant drive leads them to the Syracuse 29. With 8 seconds left, Buffalo tries for the game winning field goal:







Your final: Syracuse 20, Buffalo 19



Boss

College football brings us numerous great rivalry games throughout the year, and this weekend is no exception: Tennessee – Alabama, Miami – Florida State, and USC – Notre Dame come to mind. While UB-SU isn’t quite in that category yet, with a bit of marketing and publicity the administrations at Buffalo and Syracuse can lay the foundation for what promises to be one of college football’s preeminent rivalries over the next few years. Just imagine the classic games, the battles for recruits, the jam-packed stadiums, and for the victorious, the hoisting of the Dilapidated Brick Warehouse. Talk about spine-tingling, I can hardly wait until next season’s Thruway Throwdown…but before this can become a real rivalry, the Bulls need to show that they belong. Saturday the rivalry begins:


Buffalo 27 Syracuse 24


Russianator

Greg Robinson, the beleaguered coach of the mighty men of Orange - Turner Gill, the hot coach already eyeing a reunion with the man who launched his career, Tom Osborne. What to make of this epic battle? Will it set ratings records for ESPNU? Will it become an instant classic? Will it launch a rivalry that will last 100 years? Are you out of your fucking mind - of course it won't. Here's what will happen, the Orange, although being out coached the entire game, do just enough to get by, and the last second pass from Drew Willy is knocked to the ground by super frosh Mike Holmes, the orange hang on to win.
