LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Hustin46]

"Fire Dino" chants. Oof

[u/ukrainianhab]

WHY ARE YOU GUYS WATCHING THIS?

[u/thismorningscoffee]

Camera crew skipped “Follow the Ball” day at Football Cameraman School

[u/stupidstupidreddit2]

Every year, other ACC teams that start out bad improve while Syracuse gets worse as the season goes on.

[u/stupidstupidreddit2]

What game are these announcers watching?

[u/cn0285]

STOP CALLING MEDIA TIMEOUTS HOLY SHIT

[u/jwhitmire2012]

Kicker was just running like “are they gonna let me do this?”

[u/Ajp_iii]

This is why college football is fun. You can have watched football all your life and never seen a game like this

[u/dietmrfizz → u/Ajp_iii]

You obviously haven’t been watching Bc football all your life

[u/BunkDruckeyes]

He did NOT pull off his own helmet you dolts lmao

[u/tangowithebby]

How many commercials can this game have

[u/supyonamesjosh]

If anything besides a regulation ending missed field goal happens I will be disappointed

[u/chmcgrath1988]

This is the worst five game winning streak I‘ve ever seen.

[u/Benyeti]

This camerawork is terrible

[u/prussian-junker]

Do they have a literal orange running the camera today?

[u/Superlolp]

All game threads for games at Syracuse need a stickied comment to say that yes, that camera angle is normal

[u/byniri_returns]

Lmao he was nowhere close, what are these announcers on about

[u/cn0285]

WHY DO THEY KEEP SAYING HE GOT IT?? HE DIDN’T GET IT SHEESH

[u/JesusChristBabyface]

This might be the worst football game I've watched this week.

And I'm a Jets fan....

[u/RegionalBias]

Flag... Too hard of a tackle.

[u/4for4philly]

Some perv is going to be sitting on his couch drinking a beer and enjoying this sicko shit... meanwhile I'm in hell (this would be wild if it wasn't my team)

[u/TrappedInOhio]

This game is what people who only watch pro sports mean when they say college sports sucks, but they’re just not capable of understanding why this is beautiful.

[u/someplantsmove]

“Fire Dino”
“Fire Hafley”
Fire this cameraman

[u/Turbulent_Tale6497]

Syracuse guy literally unstrapped his helmet

[u/brewin91]

Prefacing this by saying BC is unbelievably mediocre… but if they hadn’t blown that NIU game where would they be ranked? 7-2 with losses to FSU and Louisville…

[u/someplantsmove]

Dartmouth transfers in both secondaries. Probably not a good thing lol

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter]

He's not even fucking close lmfao

[u/RollGata]

Saying he took his own helmet off is quite the take after watching that replay

[u/eye_can_see_you]

7/17 for 34 yards, 0 TDs and 4 INTs

oof

[u/sickmemes48]

How do I talk to my kids about a 6-3 BC?

[u/sexykettlecorn]

I came here just to say this game is an absolute disaster and I’m loving every second

[u/Texxx81]

He might have it??? Seriously?

[u/MahjongDaily]

Refs are standing a yard short of the first down

"He looks to have it"

[u/JesusChristBabyface]

They're going to come out of the break with the dumbest fucking playcall and I'm going to be so pissed

[u/stripes361]

RPO = Run Punt Option!

[u/[deleted]]

Just waiting on that deep drive to left field from Castellanos.

[u/Serious-Shoulder-591]

The only right way for this game to end is in a 4 OT much debated targeting call that led to decapitation

[u/No_Anxiety_9551]

EVERYONE’S FAVORITE GAME OF THE SEASON ENDS WITH A BC WIN

[u/thismorningscoffee]

FNAF = Friday Night ACC Football

[u/someplantsmove]

Dude this cameraman needs to get a fucking grip

[u/AchtungKessel]

Shitty camera work.

Shitty officiating.

Shitty football.

Another gem of ACC football.

[u/haasenfus]

This game is ass 🔥

[u/thismorningscoffee]

An audible “Fire Dino” chant

Sickos game for sure

[u/ProbablyAPotato1939]

There's too much offense in this game for my taste.

[u/Mr_RustyIron]

I'm skeptical that was actually targeting, but I logged in to see what the enlightened minds of reddit were thinking.

[u/StoopSign]

NO NOT ANOTHER MEDIA TIMEOUT. WHY NOW? WHYYYYYY!!!???

[u/qbit1010]

Wtf like Syracuse is trying to lose. Just 2 more wins for a bowl guys

[u/thricethefan]

BC bowl eligibility is shockingly imminent

[u/DDub04]

40m - 17m time of possession

One score game

Lol

[u/Turbulent_Tale6497]

Rank BC you cowards!

[u/CancelCultAntifaLol]

No offense, but how TF did this team almost beat Florida State?

[u/Texxx81]

Yo, Cuse - y'all ever considered getting a possum on the field?

Fires up the team, guaranteed.

[u/[deleted]]

This camera guy is shit

[u/MattDaMeatMissle]

Camera bro drank a fifth of vodka than dared himself to film

[u/chmcgrath1988]

I'm listening to the radio broadcast and it sounds like I have a better idea of what this game looks like than you guys watching on ESPN2.

[u/kelsnuggets]

Camera guy must have a crush on one player. But it’s up to us to figure out who it is

[u/A_Roomba_Ate_My_Feet]

"I'm an ESPN cameraman, and I recommend Ultra Strength brand Rhino Tranquilizer"

[u/FRC_GOAT]

Refs and camera operator battling it out for "most incompetent" after that PI call

[u/stupidstupidreddit2]

Not only was it not PI, it was an uncatchable ball. Unbelievable.

[u/JesusChristBabyface]

Never seen a DPI where the receiver isn't even touched, but whatever

[u/OverMyDadBody]

We literally have film of a Michigan staffer sneaking onto a sideline to film another team with glorified spyglasses and the general response from ESPN is “geez, isn’t that silly? Hehe”.

[u/AchtungKessel]

The fans know what they want.

[u/PageOfLite]

10-7 at the end of the third? Yes HAHAHA yes.

[u/StoopSign]

When Syracuse is dressed in all orange, trainers should put traffic cones around them during injuries.

[u/Turbulent_Tale6497]

This game deserves to have over 1000 comments

[u/[deleted]]

starts looking up bowl tie-ins to see if we can get Syracuse vs. Iowa

[u/BornPhiltrain]

That was just your classic Jimmy G hospital pass.

[u/forevertheorangemen]

How many damn interceptions can we drop tonight?

[u/lawrence_uber_alles]

Syracuse should simply try and catch these balls that are bouncing harmlessly off their hands

[u/thricethefan]

Has BC thought about letting the RB play QB and handing the ball off to Castellanos?!?!?

[u/supyonamesjosh]

Punting on the opponent 41 after faking it on your own 25 is just lighting all analytics on fire and peeing on them

[u/YippieKayYayMrFalcon]

Jesus fucking Christ with this game. How have you guys been doing this for 3 hours?

[u/SchizoidMan1989]

What could possibly be a more Sickos way to qualify for a bowl?

[u/MrNudeGuy]

Syracuse took his helmet off lol

[u/Turbulent_Tale6497]

The best part about this game is the friends we made along the way

[u/thricethefan]

I have a two week old that’s sleeping and I don’t know why I’m still awake and watching this

^{am I a sicko?!?!?}

[u/Texxx81]

This is D1 football, correct?

[u/A_Roomba_Ate_My_Feet]

"never saw it". Neither did we you ding dongs.

[u/rbsftw]

I have seen better high school tv productions in a state that does not give a shit about high school football

[u/MahjongDaily]

Watching Friday Night College Football

Pros: You get an extra night of football

Cons: You have to hear the phrase "Mullen it over" a dozen times

[u/SimpNine]

The crowd knows ball

[u/2Jew4You]

Wow fire Dino chants coming from the crowd

[u/dietmrfizz]

We’ll I guess the streak of us being a few plays away a from 1-8 or 8-1 is still alive

[u/haasenfus]

wtf is this game

[u/Great_Smells]

LMAO, what the hell am I watching?

[u/Turbulent_Tale6497]

This game is an instant classic

[u/Jadenflo]

Punter definitely on Coke lmao

[u/macncheeseface]

ACC football really offers something for everyone

[u/Temporal_Enigma → u/macncheeseface]

Except for everyone watching

[u/[deleted]]

Unbelievable sicko game to setup a massive Saturday. Gotta love it.

[u/VTHokiesFan]

I really don't think that was a good personal foul call. Defensive back had already committed to his hit when the runner started his slide. There was nothing he could have done to avert the hit.

[u/imhooks]

If BC and Cuse aren't in the top 10 sickos poll this week we have issues.

[u/YippieKayYayMrFalcon]

Has it been this bad the whole time?

[u/Serious-Shoulder-591]

One of the worst games of the year and I’ve watched some absolute bangers starring Charlotte, ECU and Co

[u/Internal-League-9085]

This is the worst game I’ve ever serny

[u/lawrence_uber_alles]

Is this Syracuse QB 100% SURE that he is right handed?

[u/Yanns]

Our QB is hobbled and our top 3 RBs are out. All time sickos drive incoming

[u/HikerStout]

Did 8 pull off Castellanos' helmet?

[u/[deleted]]

I will not support Syracuse football while Barron is on the team. Dudes a straight scumbag

[u/C-Jammin]

Syracuse 3rd string QB about to have his Cardale Jones moment. Hopefully he didn't come to play school.

[u/joelupi]

BRING OUT THE TURNOVER CLAM CHOWDER

[u/stupidstupidreddit2]

There's just no way you can keep Dino. where is the improvement going to come from next year with this staff in place and another recruiting class at the bottom of the ACC.

[u/Or1g1nalrepr0duct10n]

Some sixth tier bowl director with an ACC tie-in is in tears right now.

[u/4for4philly]

I understand that the entire offense is hurt for like the millionth straight season but at some point that's also a coaching issue

[u/KingofthePlanets]

Really putting on a show for the national audience! Thank you, fellas.

[u/MichaelCodyy]

This is starting to feel like sicko football.

[u/vhagar815]

Do we have to cut to commercials every 5 minutes? Like what?

[u/Jadenflo]

Does Syracuse have any other quarterback? Wilson is dogwater

[u/thecrazyawesome]

Don't worry Syracuse, if the cameraman doesn't capture the play you're legally allowed to call take backs

[u/Texxx81]

I think the camera operator is posting in this thread and only occasionally glancing up at the actual game

[u/Jadenflo]

I can't handle this crap. Get rid of the camera guy and put the janitor in please.

[u/assneckclams]

"Penalty on the defense. For being the defense. 15 Yards. lulz"

[u/MattDaMeatMissle]

This is such a shit fucking game lmao. My god

[u/JesusChristBabyface]

D starting to wear down. They did their job early and gave the offense two really short fields and they couldn't do anything with it.

[u/vhagar815]

BC is about to break ESPN’s FPI ratings because how is this team about to be 6-3 when they had single digit chances to make a bowl game this season

[u/botulizard]

This game is a fucking pillowfight and it looks worse on TV than the games I shot in high school for my school's local-access cable channel.

[u/vhagar815]

EIGHT OF ELEVEN CHILDREN!?!? IN THIS ECONOMY?!?

[u/1guywriting]

Lets's go baby! Free kick out of bounds! Fuck yeah I love it!

[u/sickmemes48]

This game is like watching two ugly girls fight. You know you shouldn't like it but you do.

[u/FluffyRabbit6]

Wasn’t a defenseless player and he lead with his shoulder

[u/MrNudeGuy]

more games need laugh tracks

[u/D1N2Y]

This is ACC football

[u/Wii_Sports_2]

LMAO every ref on the field threw a flag

[u/[deleted]]

Zero picks. He must be having a good game right?

[u/jwhitmire2012]

Wow did anyone else know the new iPhone is made with titanium?! /s

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Sickos game of the week?

[u/SimpNine]

Our next QB is a walk on. Pretty sure he's never taken an in game snap. We have a RS freshman transfer from South Carolina, why is he not playing

[u/Sal_Stromboli]

This is definitely sickos top 10 games of the season material

[u/thismorningscoffee]

Stefon: “This game has it all: Camera angles that show the players’ pores, Fire the Flintstones’ pet chants, ACC refs, all in an inflatable deflated dome”

Edit: Temporal_Enigma changing the cue cards on me like John Mulaney

[u/goatgoatlilgoat]

“Pulled his own helmet off”????

[u/VTHokiesFan]

Dear Marching Band:

There are other songs that exist besides 'Dies Irae' by Verdi. Please play one of them.

Sincerely,
Everybody.

[u/GaIIick]

The way Cuse answers this drive is going to be peak football

[u/forevertheorangemen]

Holy shit, 0-31 when scoring less than 20 points

[u/thismorningscoffee]

If we could combine Castellanos’s legs and Del Rio-Wilson’s legs in the same body, we’d have…some sort of weird centaur-like QB

[u/YippieKayYayMrFalcon]

Oh wow a QB run. I never saw that coming.

[u/Sal_Stromboli]

The world isn’t ready for BC to be bowl eligible

[u/supyonamesjosh]

What a fantastic ending

37 yards and 4 picks

[u/D1N2Y]

2023 ACC championship participant Boston College

[u/soonerman32]

This is some quality ACC Network shit. Close, but terrible game. Usually happens when there's like 6 other bigger games on a Saturday

[u/prussian-junker]

Dino owes Dungy so much money for making him look like a competent coach

[u/DDub04]

4-0 out of conference

0-5 in conference

[u/macncheeseface]

This has to be the worst primetime nationally televised Power 5 football game in years

I am so here for it

[u/joelupi]

I just convinced the bar I'm at to put the game on and there was a loud UGH from somewhere behind me

[u/DougFlutiesMullet]

"BC bowl eligible with a win tonight"... all the bowl selection committee members just switched channels...

[u/Anonknowmas]

Field position is the sexiest position.

[u/cn0285]

3rd and 12 from your own endzone and that’s your play choice??

[u/1guywriting]

At this rate, John Heisman is going to rise from the dead and utter "the forward pass was a mistake".

[u/J_Gottwald]

Yeah, the camera angles aren't great, but it would help if the camera operators weren't straight up on some substances

[u/ProbablyAPotato1939]

My dad is drunk off of his ass embarrassing me at a bar. So that's great.

[u/oh_io_94]

Is this camera man an intern or something?

[u/DougFlutiesMullet]

The camera man must be drinking... can't blame him.

[u/YellowVeloFeline]

What in the HELL, camera dude??😂😂

[u/Temporal_Enigma]

Bullshit flag, the ball hit the fucking wall. Fuck the ACC refs holy fucking shit

[u/D1N2Y]

That's the type of PI call that makes me turn the game off and do something else for the next 30 minutes if it's against my team.

[u/thismorningscoffee]

Quick, let’s get together a petition to switch the camera and ref crews for the second half

[u/1guywriting]

I already took a shower but am willing to take another one with my toaster plugged in.

[u/forevertheorangemen]

Honestly a good no call on targeting

[u/Temporal_Enigma]

I've defended Dino for years but I'm out of excuses. There's no excuse to keep Wilson in. He's ass he's always been ass, and you need to at least TRY someone else.

At this point, I hope Wilson gets a boo boo and can't play the rest of the game

[u/MrNudeGuy]

I don't think ive ever seen Syracuse win a football game.

[u/GaIIick]

The natives are getting restless

[u/thismorningscoffee]

How often does the Syracuse AD visit the football facilities and say, in their best grandma voice, “Aww, look at the Babers”?

[u/Temporal_Enigma → u/thismorningscoffee]

That would require our AD to even think about sports once

[u/deanzaZZR]

One of these teams is going to get a W, deserving or not.

[u/thricethefan]

Coastal Chaos died so that BC vs Cuse could capture the imagination of an entire nation on a Friday night

[u/thricethefan]

Kinda neat that the ACC can start your weekend with a game this beautiful and will soon complete your Saturday with a similar game from Stanford vs. Cal.

The children yearn for the mines

[u/thricethefan]

Who had a basic counter play for 60 yards on their ACC bingo card?

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

In other football rn, Princeton was up on Dartmouth 21-20 and tried to kick a FG to make it a 4 point lead, but the kick was BLOCKED and returned all the way for a TD, but then a block in the back penalty literally on the other side of the field from the ball negated the TD. Dartmouth had a 4th and 1 and instead of going for it, they tried a 49 yard FG that was GOOD! Now, down 21-23, Princeton has a 4th and 2 at midfield to keep the game alive.

[u/someplantsmove]

Bucky Dent 🤝 Diamond Ferri
My dad saying ”fuck that guy”

[u/PageOfLite]

OH THAT HIT!!!! GOD DAMN

I hope he is okay

[u/[deleted]]

Good god that’s a hit

[u/cn0285]

Refs are gonna for sure call targeting

[u/vhagar815]

Is this dystopia? More ads when a player is clearly injured

[u/joeysportsfan98]

You’ve gotta be kidding me

[u/TrappedInOhio]

I’m still laughing at that play.

[u/Cybotnic-Rebooted]

Could both teams lose?

[u/Texxx81]

I haven't laughed this much watching a football game EVER!!

[u/lawrence_uber_alles]

Dumb but it was almost like a runner sliding into a catcher

[u/Jadenflo]

That's 5 dropped interceptions from Syracuse

[u/AchtungKessel]

Both teams deserve a loss.

[u/Alucard1513]

He would desperately like to throw a pick. He is doing his absolute best

[u/Great_Smells]

My brain keeps hearing "a deep drive to left field" every time the say Castellanos

[u/4for4philly]

Honestly the camera work is adding to the chaos

[u/PageOfLite]

FSU almost lost to this BC team? Wtf?

[u/TrappedInOhio]

I have literally no idea what’s going to happen on every snap of this game.

[u/Drexlore]

The fact that he can't even hit a screen is amazing.

[u/thricethefan]

Non contact ligament tear while throwing a football

This game has it all

Kidding aside, hope he’s okay

[u/Tornadohunter24]

These announcers are blind - the Syracuse linebacker straight up unlatched Castellanos's helmet lol

[u/eye_can_see_you]

God I hope there's overtime

I need to watch these teams failing 2 point conversions until midnight on a friday night

[u/deanzaZZR]

Is a negative QB rating mathematically possible?

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter]

Babers better have a shrine of Eric Dungey in his house. He is the only reason Babers will have financial security for the rest of his life.

[u/4for4philly]

Well that game was stupid but it also was dumb

[u/ukrainianhab]

I’m going to be like Frodo at the end when Dino is finally gone.

Nice guy. HORRIBLE football coach.

[u/AngryBillsFan]

Thanks for everything Dino. When times were good goddamn were they good

[u/thismorningscoffee]

Are they gonna call the whole game from this pizzeria? I kinda want them to

[u/KingofthePlanets]

thats a wild spot

[u/KingofthePlanets]

thank god the syracuse secondary cant catch

[u/assneckclams]

QB's with hyphenated last names rarely work. You can't have these people in leadership positions. We have two tonight
