Of Course Mike Francesa Has No Fucking Clue Who Dino Babers Is

No offense to Jason in Syracuse, but what type of question was that for the Sports Pope? Do you think he has time to talk about college football while he is in the middle of a gutter war with Andrew Marchand right now, NFL season is in full force, and there are World Series games to discuss? Get LAWST. Anybody that has listened to Numbah One at all over the last few decades knows that he doesn’t have time for anything college sports-related outside of the big coaches like Saban, Calipari, etc. and duh kids, like Duh Kid On Alabamer (Tua Tagovailoa), Duh Kid On Duke (Zion Williamson), and Duh Kid From Rutgahs (N/A but I just love when Mike says Rutgers). Anybody else gets the Al Alburquerque treatment from Mike.

I guess there is an argument to be made that Mike should know Dino Babers since all he has done is bring Syracuse football back from the dead, beat Clemson last year, almost beat Clemson this year and New York City just happens to be the unofficial destination for every other Syracuse graduate (Source: Every Cuse game played at MSG is pretty much a home game for the Orange). Oh yeah and Dino has some of the best speeches in all of sports.

I’m sure Dino and the coaching staff come up with goals before every season. Next year’s goals should be a Top 25 finish, a bowl game with more prestige than the Pinstripe Bowl, and for Mike Francesa to say his name. In fact I want Dino to call into Mike’s show before they play in that bowl game on or around New Year’s Day and go full Heisenberg on Numbah One’s ass.

Which Mike will obviously respond that he’s known about Dino since he was a graduate assistant at Hawaii.
