Game 4 of the 2008 Syracuse football season kicks off at high noon tomorrow in the Carrier Dome. Four home games in a row + gas to fill my Jeep Grand Cherokee + cost of premium seats + years of counseling to get over the mental torture that these games have become = one expensive September. Get to know the Panthers a little better here, and then enjoy some idiotic predictions.

After last week's "impressive" win over Northeastern, the Orange bring back some familiar themes that have been hallmarks of the Gross/Robinson Era:
1. The 12 noon Big East Game of the Week on ESPN Plus. If you miss this one, don't worry, I personally assure you of several more this year.
2. Halftime honorees. Nothing against Art Monk, who is a class act and is finally an NFL Hall-of-Famer...but enough with the god-forsaken ceremonies Daryl, try putting a winning football team on the field...no seriously.
3. Losing. Yes, its back and better than ever.

The Bataan Death March that was September Syracuse football comes to an end this Saturday at high noon. These early starts mean one thing: cracking beers at 8:00am in a parking lot. Now onto the game.
Dave Wannstedt vs. Greg Robinson. The Sporthump has taught me well....never underestimate the power of the 'stache. Yes I'm typing these words....Greg Robinson makes Dave Wannstedt look great.

The Panthers have some good running backs and Syracuse is good at making running backs look great. Seems like an appropriate combination. The coaching match up couldn't be better, two guys that washed out of the NFL and now are making a mess of their respective programs.
I honestly believe that Wannestache is just good enough of a coach to keep himself from getting fired for the next 5 years. He recruits well, he'll win a game or two he shouldn't, then go out and blow games to teams like Bowling Green. He is going to absolutely TORTURE Pitt fans -the continual cycle of hope, despair and redemption will be enough for people to start jumping out of tall buildings eventually - so good luck with that Pitt fans.
That being said, he's still better than Greg Robinson - quite a bit better actually.

I agree, the Stache is going to bring some Old School to this game! I can see them running over us all day with our horrible linebacker crew....

Guys,
Haven't said so in a while, but you gentlemen are great. Tell those snotty undergrads to suck it. The new shirt is better anyway. Keep up the good work.

You know whats funny, I mentioned on Axe's show the other day when he was doing a segment on political ads of what to look for ina coach, I would do it as a wanted ad in the paper. I had no idea at the time though that you guys already had a shirt like that. I also noticed it was quite ironic that after I left a comment on the Daily Orange blog about the undergrads copying your shirt, that whole column disappeared or did you all strong arm them? Wish you all the best of luck and here is my prediction for the game tomorrow.
Syracuse-19
Pitt-31
Covering the point spread is just as good as a win in my book
