If it dropped Otto and the Block 'S' on the back I'd be all over that.

He wouldn't start, but Byington plays 9, so he'd undoubtedly be a big part of the rotation. If I were him, I'd wait to see what happens to Byington. Chances are he levels up after this year.

I wasn't aware that the number of pronouns in the English language changed since the '70s. :rolleyes:

The chart I created below details the number of four-star recruits who committed to SU over ten years before 2024. All the numbers come from 247. I included high schoolers, transfers, and then transfers who were 4-star or higher in high school. I excluded anyone from that list who was re-ranked...

He's an interesting player. Earlier in the thread, some folks compared him with Vick the Elder. I can see some of that in his running style. Part of what made Vick the Elder great, though, was his next-level arm. He could throw more than 70 yards at a standstill, and his passes had ridiculous...

Did he follow that up with: "And as a freshman, he showed up to preseason camp with a 52-quart Igloo cooler filled with weed?" Frankly, that's almost as impressive as being the last to wear 44, even more so when you realize the coaching staff never caught him.

Yes - you can donate to individual programs.

It's sad because the first two days of the tournament always belong to the underdogs. Taking that away rips the heart out of the first weekend. It's part of the reason Vegas is a pilgrimage the first weekend of the tourney. Wall-to-wall hoops and upsets galore. There's part of me that wishes...

He's not ending up at UVA. A good friend in the AD there said back when SU got him that Bennett had close to no interest in him despite him being at their front door. Maybe things have changed, but he wasn't heavily recruited by his hometown squad. I think there's a reason for that.

He and I both went to C-State and got grad degrees at SU. What a tool bag.

The problem is the vast majority of old-guard ACC fans LOVE Greensboro. It's ACC tradition, and it's one they are proud of. I can't fault them for that. It's where the ACC grew up and where many memories are for the original members. I'm not even talking about UNC and Duke fans. I'm talking...

NJ High School official Derryk Sellers lives about 10 minutes from Camden and was also the athletic director at Lindenwold High, which is very close to Camden. Lindenwold lost Camden by about 60 in the previous round of the playoffs. He was also involved with the South Jersey Coaches...

I remember in Magic Johnson's autobiography, he mentioned a conversation with Jud Heathcote at Michigan State. Heathcote told him it's not a good pass if: A) Your teammate physically can't catch it. B) Your teammate isn't ready for it. Heathcote told him that point A was on him as the point...

I saw a lot of videos of him in high school and wondered how his "fun for the game" would translate. His game is an extension of his personality. I like that Red is allowing him to run with that. I hope there are teachable moments in film study about the times to have fun and the times to lock...

I changed my avatar but used a script version!

Quick question for you: Do Lisfranc injuries tend to re-occur? Or is this a one-time occurrence usually?

I’m liking this solely because of your use of the word “concomitantly.” Not enough use of that word around here. As the resident orthopedist it’s good to hear your take Cuseregular. Always appreciate your posts!

The injury discussion is what stuck out to me, too. Giving individual players (especially leaders) a platform will only help recruit and retain players. If NIL is as important an aspect of college football as we all know it is, giving your big-time players a platform to present themselves...

I think this is an example of loosening the reins on what the video staff at SU Athletics can do. Really in-depth and interesting look at OG II. Maybe I'm wrong, and they've always been allowed to show this much, but the package just seems a lot more complete. It's not a whole lot new, but...

I have no problem with Orangemass and his take; I just thought it was a funny line. Stonehouse was fine this year; every college punter will have bad moments. We sometimes believe these guys should be perfect and, frankly, don't watch many other college football games with the vigor we watch the...

:rolleyes: Statistical fact: not true. My opinion: true. Sorry orangemass, I just thought it was a funny juxtaposition!

Quick story about that game. I was meeting my soon-to-be father and mother-in-law that weekend. FIL is a huge Pitt fan. Hey Clockwork, watching the game with my dad would be great bonding! I was on my best behavior. I didn't even talk trash when we got up by 11 with a little over a minute to...

He turned the ball over three times, Per 40 that’s one of his lowest turnover rates this year.

It's probably his second-best, far behind LSU. He had three turnovers in 39 minutes, well below his average of 3.8 per 40. He nearly doubled his game-by-game rebounding output for the year. Third most assists in a game this year. It's not his best shooting game but it is one of his best floor games.

:rolleyes:

This seems appropriate given Coach Fran's DART mantra and SU being overlooked and sneered at for two decades:

You no good son of a B..CH. How DARE you bring up the Easter Bunny in this thread.

It was certainly low, no denying that!

Please see my opus (:)) on why I think it was the lowest. I don't think the program is as miserable talent-wise as it was then, but I do think the stakes are so much higher right now, especially for the future of a viable Northeastern football program. Believe me, I lived through the GRob...

Hey! You were there before they expanded to the other side of 81. Have you been back recently? I've taught here for around 15 years, and the amount of change that's happened in that time is mind-boggling. I can't imagine what it was like in 1998. Can you recall how many undergrads were there...

I disagree. Syracuse was still relevant when GRob tanked the program. The arms race of college football wasn't at its peak yet. I believed SU could make a new hire and turn it around in pretty quick order. They were still a name in college football. Doug Marrone did that. Since then, this...

The dude showed up to his first SU training camp with an Igloo cooler filled to the brim with weed. That story has always stuck with me. I'm unsure what that has to do with anything, but I believe he has been a BIG proponent for Steve Addazzio. Is that correct? The tweet has since been deleted...

Ha! I'm a double alum - Cortland and Oswego. And then Syracuse. What a great game last night. North Central played like the Soviets in the '80 Olympics. They made so many calls that just reeked of disrespect for Cortland. They have steamrolled teams for so long that they assumed they could do...

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE SO WRONG!!!! Woo! Go C-STATE. I've been watching my Dragons all year but bought into the North Central hype machine. They're a great team but C-State did what they've done all year. Get punched in the mouth and punch right back.

I love that the Red Dragons are in the championship. Hate that last week's game was basically their championship. No one is beating North Central. They are the powerhouse that Mount Union was a decade back.

If you've ever read any posts by me, you more than likely know that I work at James Madison University. The past month has been crazy for my alma mater's football program and the football program at the school where I work now. Curt Cignetti fallout On the heels of the Fran Brown hire, Curt...

You need to be a football coach to understand. These guys are supremely motivated to the point of obsession. Because of that and the nature of the business (fired if you don't perform QUICKLY), they become very, VERY protective of everything around the program. They want to control every facet...

Pretty much. These are just new donors since Sunday though so that's a good thing.

I'm one of them!

If you do the numbers those monthly subscriptions equal around $66K total a year. One 4-5 star player according to some of the portal numbers I'm seeing.

JO - I know you were tied into the NJ high school coaching ranks back in the day. Any insight into why NJ coaches trust Fran so much? As a head coach, what type of outreach do you believe he will do in NJ to strengthen those already strong ties? DeLeone and Coach P fostered an incredibly...

Yep, and I've heard Marvin Harrison Jr. plans to come with him to follow in his father's footsteps.

The Rongo? Rongovian Embassy to the US is a famous (now shut down) bar in T-Burg. I believe The Spin Doctors used to play there back in the day.

All of A sudden. A hill I'm willing to die on.

If Robinson comes, some of his NE recruits at A&M: Fadil Diggs - East Camden, NJ Enai White - Philly, PA Isaiah Raikes - Woodbury, NJ Chase Bisontis - Ramsey, NJ (Don Bosco) Jaylan Hornsby - Atco, NJ (Committed to A&M) Naquil Bertrand - Philly, PA Tyreek Chappell - Philly, PA I'm not saying...

Dunning-Kruger effect.

So is Sean Lewis' stellar 24-31 record at Kent State and resignation after his 5th year somehow worth more than a guy who has turned around a moribund FCS program (pretty much one step down from the MAC)? There's not much difference between recruiting at a high level in FCS and recruiting at a...

This will be long. I am somewhat informed about Coach Cignetti and the JMU Athletic Department. I probably know more about the inner workings of the JMU AD and what makes Cignetti tick than anyone else on this board. I don't have a hard and fast "he's coming" or "he's not coming" to share with...

Yes. They knew the rules. The NCAA also has an appeals process that JMU went through. This past April, that appeal was denied. People are mostly up in arms because of the results on the field. The AD had the opportunity to move to FBS in 2012-2013 and turned it down because they felt they...
