Welcome to National Apple Pie Day!
Apple pie is the quintessential American dessert! However, apple pie wasn't actually invented in the U.S. Rather, it was invented in Europe sometime during the 14th century. The first apple pie recipe was printed by Geoffrey Chaucer in 1381 in England. The ingredients in the recipe included apples, spices, raisins, figs, pears, and saffron which was all enveloped in a pastry crust.
Several Dutch apple pie recipes date back to the late 15th century. They were similar to the English recipes, except that they added a scoop of ice cream placed on top before being served. This tradition of “apple pie à la mode” eventually caught on in America. Today, many people continue to enjoy their warm apple pie topped with ice cream!
To celebrate National Apple Pie Day, bake a delicious apple pie or pick one up at your local bakery to share with your family. Just don't forget the ice cream!

Video: Badgers Deal Syracuse 1st Loss of Season (madison.com)
The #14 Orange suffered its first loss of the season, falling in overtime to Wisconsin 66-58. Michael Gbinije led Syracuse with 19 points in the losing effort.
Recap of Wisconsin Loss (PS; Axe)
51-25.
That number represents the rebounding margin Wisconsin had over Syracuse. Wisconsin had more defensive rebounds (35) than Syracuse had overall. The Badgers' offensive rebound total (16) was only 9 behind Syracuse's overall total. Syracuse's best rebounder, Tyler Roberson, only grabbed two boards against the Badgers. Tyler Lydon could only grab a couple as well.
We've all been waiting for this stat to bite Syracuse at some point as they can't hide their lack of size. Combine that with a bad shooting night, both from the field and the free throw line, and it's a difficult hurdle to overcome.
It's a credit to the Orange that they could still push this game to overtime by other means even with such a huge rebounding gap, but you have to wonder how long they can mask this issue.

Top 5 Moments in Syracuse-Georgetown Rivalry (bigeastcoastbias.com; Roberson)
When the buzzer sounded on the final Georgetown-Syracuse game in the 2013 Big East tournament, it felt like a part of college basketball died. A once-brilliant rivalry built on passion and competition, taken behind the shed and put out of its misery by conference realignment and the almighty football dollar. It was an unfortunate casualty, but while the annual battles were gone, the memories constructed by these passionate foes only grew fonder in the hearts of basketball fans to the east
More defining moments are sure to be created this Saturday when the rivalry between Georgetown and Syracuse returns in D.C.
Big East Coast Bias comprised a list of the best moments in this long-standing rivalry, and with the help of our good friends at Casual Hoya andNunes Magician, we narrowed it down to the five most memorable moments in Georgetown-Syracuse history.
5. Patrick Ewing and Pearl Washington exchange 'bows
A year after emotions ran high in the 1984 Big East Tournament, Syracuse and Georgetown met once again at Madison Square Garden in '85, with the defending champion Hoyas looking to send a message to the rest of the country. Patrick Ewing and Pearl Washington were running downcourt when Ewing caught Pearl with an elbow to the ribs. Pearl returned the favor shortly later with an elbow to the gut. An enraged Ewing responded with a haymaker that barely missed Washington. "Dwayne was just lucky that he ducked,’’ Syracuse’s Howard Triche said. "I don’t know if he saw it coming or it was just instinct, but he’s lucky he ducked out of the way or he’d have no head.’’
Both players received technicals rather than ejections, and the game continued. Ah, life before the Malice at the Palace...Georgetown would win the game 74-65.
