Welcome to Card Reading Day!
Card Reading Day is a fun day. It's a day to read cards... no more, no less.
Beyond a doubt, the stationery and Ecard companies love this day. It encourages you to send cards. They like that.
As we did our research, we thought we'd find some history that suggest it is a day for Tarot card readings. It very well could be. But, we found no written evidence to support our theory.
What we can tell you, is that its very popular to send and receive cards today. In order to read a card, someone has to send one. So, get the ball rolling and send out some cards today. Chances are, you will get a few back.

Fizz Five: Who’s Been Offered By SU? | Orange Fizz - Free Syracuse Recruiting News, Always Looking at the Future of the Orange (Orange Fizz; Morrissette)
With the offseason in full swing the SU coaching staff is busy building the Orange’s 2018 recruiting class.

Here are the latest recruits to receive SU offers.
QB Jace Ruder
The Kansas native is a 2018 Tulsa commit, but just picked up a Syracuse offer this week. Kansas State is the only other power five school to offer Ruder. Sean Lewis is Ruder’s primary recruiter.
WR Jalin Cooper
The offers continue to roll in for the New York native. Cooper was offered by Syracuse this week along with Washington State and Army. Boston College has also shown interest. Standing at 6’5 and coming from Medina, NY, it’s easy to see why the Orange is interested.
OG Ryan Betro
Betro has two other ACC offers in addition to Syracuse: BC and Wake Forest. He’s 6’4 and 280 pounds. The Walpole, Massachusetts native is unranked by the major recruiting sites. He attends Lawrence Academy.
RB Chase Brown

Despite rich history, Syracuse baseball is unlikely in near future (DO; Gutierrez)
Syracuse’s first intercollegiate sport ended as quickly as it began. Established three years after the university itself, the baseball team started as a dozen students playing local rivals on the weekends. But then, in 1972, without notifying anyone, an assistant athletic director sold all of the baseball equipment and uniforms.
Only 11 years removed from a third-place finish in the College World Series, some players struggled to understand why. The members of a freshman- and sophomore-laden squad took the call hard. But a university recession and change in the Syracuse academic calendar led to baseball’s demise.
Last weekend, 14 Atlantic Coast Conference baseball teams began the 2017 season. More than five years since announcing a switch to the ACC, Syracuse remains the only school in the conference — and only one of four Power 5 schools — without a baseball program. Syracuse will not field a squad for the 45th straight year.
