The latest news coming out of the inept Syracuse football program is making my head hurt. I feel like Kenny Haas at the end of a three day jolt cola bender.
Let me try and organize my rage in some sort of coherent manner, which already makes me the exact opposite of Greg Robinson.
On Dr. Gross' announcement that there is no announcement:
- Obviously Gross is painted into a corner here, but shut the hell up. We're all smart enough to figure out that no news is exactly what we think it is - no news. Thanks to this crazy things called "the internet" and "television" the second you say anything, we are going to know.
- While we're on the subject, here are a few other things Gross is focused on other than firing his coach:
- Lindsay Lohan finally talking about her girlfriend but refusing to admit she's a lesbian. There are a lot of good lessons here, like admitting you have a football program, but refusing to admit it stinks.
- Getting Lee Corso to stop attending college parties.
- Trying to figure out if anyone would care if Mike Francesca and Keith Olbermann killed each other in a fight to the death.
- And getting this bride out of the pool.
On what we learned from Greggo's latest press conference.
Take a deep breath, settle in and I'll try and summarize this one:
- We learned that the quarterback that completed 4 passes last week will start and the former starter who looked even worse on Saturday "may" play. Of course, when asked by the media, the back up said he has been told he WILL play, so they've got that nice disconnect going there.
- No Champ, I'm pretty sure he has no clue as to whether he can play them at the same time.
- We learned that the red shirt freshman quarterback they moved to tight end a few weeks ago might not actually BE a tight end and then learned that the 3rd string quarterback isn't in the picture to play - even though we already know based on their performances this season that the first two guys on the depth chart aren't very good.
- While this may be confusing to some, I've decoded this latest Robinson QB ploy. It's clear he has installed a version of the wildcat offense where the TIGHT END will be taking direct snaps from center. As soon as they can figure out how to get the center to snap the ball sideways, they'll be shredding opponents.
- We also learned that the back up middle linebacker Mike Stenclik, who played well last year in a limited role and frankly can't be any worse than the incumbent, was told last week he would play, but Greg only managed to get him on the field for 3 plays. Coincidentally, Rutgers went 3 and out that series.
Greg Robinson and Daryl Gross - one guy announces he's not announcing anything, the other announces so much that half of what he says contradicts the other half. Is it me or is this whole thing getting more and more bizarre by the day?
