Thoughts?

A match up between two old Big East and Lambert Trophy foes. If Will Greer plays for the Eer's they should win a 40 something to 30 something game. If not, the Cuse wins. I guess the sign of times is that the non playoff games might generate more interest about who is sitting out than the actual playing of the game itself.

Heard today Grier and the LBer are not playing.

[Chieftain2009]

Saw that too. That has a massive impact on this game.

If it's not a cfb playoff game , a lot of players awaiting being drafted sit out bowl games nowadays. It's sadly a sign of the times . Of course they don't want to get injured and hurt their draft stock but I bet in the back of their mind somewhere they're thinking , well the University made enough money out of me for my performance over however many years so this is a little payback.

will make me think of the Big East days

[Raiderball]

I haven't seen anything about a LB not playing. A few days ago starting left tackle and 1st team all Big XII Yodney Cajuste announced that he would not be playing. He is a projected 1st round or early 2nd round pick. Was injured and had to be helped off the field in the Oklahoma game.

Heard today Grier and the LBer are not playing.

With Grier I would take the Hillbillies by 7, even though Grier has a great risk of turnovers.

Without Grier, I will take the Tangerines by 3.

[countywide35]

So Grier or no Grier ?

[FANOSPORTS]

Nope, doesn't want to hurt his draft status.

[Chieftain2009]

We've already had some good talk on this game. This one is one later today.

[Chieftain2009]

Game is under way

[FANOSPORTS]

Sills should have sat out also since the other Wr Jennings and Grier didn't play but it is what it is in today's day and age. (40 bowl games with only 6 that matter one iota anymore).

"BORING" and meaningless except for the networks.

[Chieftain2009]

Syracuse wins it 34-18.
