    FSU vs The ACC

    The FSU lawsuit seems to hinge on the ACC receiving less TV money than the SEC and BIG 10. Is it possible that the reasons for this are purely economic and justifiable? TV Ratings for CFB Games 2023

    Pretty sure Fran almost dropped

    Yes. He was talking about his life and career arc. Said "I didn't break the glass ceiling, I smashed the mother". You see this cat Fran is a bad mother (Shut your mouth) But I'm talkin' about Fran (Then we can dig it)

    NCAA investigating Michigan football for alleged sign-stealing

    I have been spending a lot of time in Tennessee. The talk around the SEC is that Michigan spent time scouting SEC games involving Tennessee and Alabama. These teams would have been competing with Michigan for places in the playoffs last year except for suspicious late-season losses...

    Quincy Guerrier to test the NBA and enter the portal

    This is basic math. 33.0% from beyond the arc is one point per possession. That is the magic number so anyone shooting below 33.0% should be selective enough to raise their shooting percentage to 33.0%. I know how people feel about Bobby Knight, but he addressed this situation. He said when...

    Snow Advisory is In Effect

    This makes me think of my MBA math classes. Every time we had to solve for velocity and acceleration the problem involved snowfall in Syracuse. Professor Chottiner, who we lost this year, was very entertaining and creative with his word problems. I also recall the Marketing class when Professor...

    Syracuse opens +32 vs Notre Dame

    I don't think a 32 point spread will mean too much to our players. Apparently, they have trouble counting as high as four.

    Best college basketball games of all time?

    The UCLA Houston Game was considered the game of the century. It has to have a place on the list. The January 20, 1968 game was the first-ever nationally televised college basketball game. The teams were ranked #1 and #2 and featured Elvin Hayes vs. Lew Alcindor.

    My Take

    the game changed dramatically when OSU went to a 2-2-1 three quarter court press. I believe this was also the same time that Hughes went to the bench. Therefore, it is difficult to deduce which contributing factor changed the game so dramatically. Regardless, I expect to see more pressure in...
