Just gonna bang this one out real quick. I’m leaving work early to head to Syracuse for the Suns/Nuggets game which will be followed by what might be the busiest weekend in the history of the sports fan. More details to come next week.
The picks:
Connecticut at Rutgers (+1.5):
Wouldn’t it be nice if this was just [...]

Meet A Talented High School Senior Flirting With The Orange That Will Sign Elsewhere
Introducing Travelle Davis, a running back from Apopka, FL. Described on ESPN.com by Scouts, Inc. as a “major sleeper” in this year’s recruiting class, Davis would apparently be a nice fit to our back rotation next year when we no longer have the pleasure of watching Curtis Brinkley carry the ball. Scout.com had this to [...]

CoachWatch – A Nearly Unstoppable Force of a Column
We’re six games into this Syracuse football season, and a fifth Orange loss means a fifth installment of CoachWatch. We’ve had one job open up this week in D-1A as Clemson dumped perennial underacheiver Tommy Bowden. Hopefully Syracuse isn’t too interested in trying to bring him in.
There are a few coaches that DG should be [...]

Week 7 Recap
So that was a lot closer than we though, huh?
Just when it looked like Syracuse might stun the college football world, a potentially game-winning drive fizzled inside the West Virginia 10. With a shot to get the ball back to its offense with time for another crack at the endzone, the Orange defense made the [...]

Saturday Pick’em – Week 7
We’re staring down the barrel of a lean week in Big East play and into the headlights of a Cadillac. Sweet. As you’re watching the game Saturday against West Virginia, make sure that you don’t disturb those around as you softly whisper “It’s almost over” to yourself while curled up in the fetal position weeping.

My Thoughts on “The Express”
I was able to attend a screening of The Express on Tuesday night thanks to my team’s victory in a local sports trivia contest. While I found the movie enjoyable, I don’t know that I completely agree with how the filmmakers chose to deliver the message about Ernie Davis. If I had to compare this [...]

Saturday Pick’em – Week 6
No Orange game this week (mercifully). I’ll get wrong make a few picks for the remaining Big East games along with a couple other contests that arouse my interest. Also, thank you South Florida for refusing to be the flagship program of the conference this season. We appreciate it.
Cincinnati at Marshall (+3.5):
I’m not ready to [...]

Thanks For Helping Our National Profile, ESPN
It’s been well-documented that ESPN has been beating the proverbial dead horse lately when it comes to discussing the sad state of our football program. Then this comes along and I wonder – what’s the point? Now normally I’m all for SU getting a national broadcast, but perhaps the people in charge of the schedule [...]

CoachWatch Returns
As if you really thought this wouldn’t be back. Seems to me that a lot has changed across the college football landscape since last we visited with my personal wishlist for the heir to Grob’s throne.
It is important to note that this list of candidates is 100% absolutely sure to be interviewing for the job [...]
