Back for another year with more nonsense
It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means… time for the blog that gives you the internet’s most ridiculous college football preview series- it’s #FakeNunes time. Can we keep finding ways to get #jokesandgarbage into a Syracuse Orange preview? You be the judge….
Now onto this week’s opponent
Opponent: Ohio Bobcats
Location: Athens, Ohio
Students: 18,502 students who picked the wrong Athens
The 2024 Fake Nunes Statistical Index (#FNSI)
We continue to look to innovate our analytics model so we here’s what the lab cooked up for this season.
Rivalry Trophy
The FNSI staff won’t give up on their quest to bring back more tradition into today’s college game. Let’s see what they’ve got for this one
The Tim Neal Silver Crutch
The former Director of Sports Medicine at Syracuse is an alum of Ohio University so the winner of this game should get a trophy shaped like a crutch….hopefully not needed by any of the players.
Jersey Boys
Fran Brown wants to reclaim the Garden State so let’s see how the Orange stack up against each opponent.
Ohio has one player from New Jersey on their roster which doesn’t even come close to Syracuse’s 25.
Advantage: Syracuse
Notable Alum
Bringing back this one as we love to drop, some knowledge every now and then to help our loyal readers possibly win a trivia night. After all we are the Syracuse blog that loves you back and we take that seriously.
Peter King vs Jayson Stark
We’re putting the NFL writer against the MLB writer to start the year. Only one had this unforgettable tweet so that certainly decides this match-up.
Advantage: Ohio
Head Coach Radio Show Sponsor
Labatt Blue vs AmeriCU
This one’s a no-contest.
Advantage: Ohio
The Official #FakeNunes Game Prediction
Syracuse fans are excited about the Fran Brown era, but are quickly confused when the team enters the field to NBA Youngboy. A few folks are wondering if that’s the same Youngboy who played for Baylor or the one who was at Gonzaga….at least kick-off follows shortly after.
Kyle McCord connects on three touchdown passes and Orange fans recreate that boyfriend meme where they turn their attention from Eric Dungey to McCord. Speaking of which-anyone know the best way to turn a 2 to make it look like a 6?
Final Score: Syracuse 37, Ohio 17
