It's like this for every football game at the Carrier Dome broadcast on TV.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Clemson gonna win this cause Cuse had to settle for that field goal

It's part of the reason why Cuse sucks as bad as they do.
Their facilities are god awful.

It's crap.
It's sponsored by an Air Conditioning company, but has no AC.
So if you're there in September/October it can still get pretty freaking hot, and the humidity in there is unbearable.

Clemson tried to get cute
Holy shit the PR misjudged that fake SO bad. Clemson should've had that.
Seems like it has horrid acoustics too. Makes more sense Syracuse can't keep any talent in NY.

It was the Punt Returner but he was basically tasked with fielding a line drive Punt and COMPLETELY whiffed.

NY doesn't have much talent, plus you have to convince kids to move to an area of the country where it snows like 9 months of the year.
Fair, it's not a hot bed but kids think NY is cool, no? I mean Oregon has oppressive rain 9 months out of the year and they found a way.

Not top tier talent, but with better facilities they ought to luck into some athletes from time to time.

Oregon though is beautiful, especially around Eugene, plus it's Nike U.
Syracuse is a cement wasteland covered in snow and arctic temperatures.
It's nowhere near NYC, despite Cuse claiming to be NYC's team. Technically BC is closer to NYC than Cuse is.

At this point IDEK why we have the season go on.
Hand Saban the trophy and lets move on to next year.
Cuse's problem is that they never invested into their success. They have big name alumnus who you'd figure would be able to be boosters and are a quality school but they were great for a couple decades then everybody else started pouring money into their programs and Cuse didn't spend a dime. It's really a shame they should be so much better than they are.

I was confused as to why so many ESPN pundits on College Football Final et. all were putting Clemson ahead of Alabama. Their rationale, I think, is since Clemson won last year they keep the spot until they lose but...Clemson hasn't looked great in most of their games
This.
However just west of Syracuse is really nice, for middle aged adults who want to drink over priced wine and rent over priced houses on the finger lakes, but still nice enough. Not a college hot bed.

Also November and December in Syracuse are so bleak.
They average 77 and 69 sunshine hours in each of those months. That's 2.48 hours, and 2.23 hours of sunshine per day respectively.

How do you screw that up?

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Syracuse just made that so much harder then they should have.
Are we talking about how nice Syracuse is? Upstate New York is fucking beautiful... it's like a less dense Oregon. (tree density I mean)

You market Cuse by facilities, that's how you draw, that's how all these programs that have grown so much in the last decade have done it.
The Carrier Dome is a worse venue than Tropicana Field, the place is a fucking dump.
Upstate is nice though, lots of hills, rivers, real scenic, you're within spitting distance of Rochester and Buffalo so there's always shit to do.

Woooo! Customary loss needed to win Natty has been taken care of

Why did they not bring out the chains to measure?
I grew up in Eugene and yeah it's beautiful but it looks post-apocalyptic for 9 months. Depends what appeals to kids but I suppose I misjudged it's proximity.

Upstate gets a bad rap but it's nice having 4 distinct seasons.
That's a first down.

It's really fucking boring when you know nobody has the talent and depth to give Bama a fight.
Like the next 7 weeks are just entirely pointless really. We all know.

I said this in the thread like two weeks ago. Clemson hasn't looked otherworldly all year even if they are undefeated*.
