Changing the trajectory of CNY. Great news! Thank you to those who made it happen.

Obscene. As Mrs. Corleone said to Michael: "This must all stop."

Great!!

Keep McCord healthy!!!!

UCLA is not in the same category of Duke, KU etc?

Love Villari.

Great!

Painter is an excellent coach and has been for awhile.

It is unreal. Hard to believe. I cannot express how much I dislike the UConn Athletic Department. But, I have to say - watching this UConn Men's Team is a pleasure. They play hard. They play under control. They set screens - they pick - they move the ball. They play the way the game is...

Time Wounds All Heals.

I seem to recall the first spring/summer under Babers when players were vomiting into trash cans because of the intensity of the training regime.

Remove it and don't add anything to it.

Yes. I'm sure I have been naïve all these years, but the blatant professional character of today's college athletic scene is just not appealing to me.

This portal system stinks. A real turn off for me.

Perhaps I used the wrong word. Perhaps "remarkable" or "striking" would be a better way to describe my reaction. The point I was trying to make is that the previous training staff seems to have been ineffective in a very important area of preparation.

The most disturbing news out of the spring is how much the training staff has changed bodies. What the heck was the previous staff doing?

F Clemson!

With Mahomes he does.

Understood. For me, nothing is worse than South Bend, Indiana. The weather and the ND campus are grossly unattractive.

Watch Andy Reid. He gives up nothing.

Nobody mentions the difficult weather in CNY more than my mom - who has lived in and loved the Syracuse community for more than 88 years. I don't get too worked up over Syracuse weather comments.

In no particular order. He treated members of the press with courtesy. He treated me and folks I know with courtesy and good humor. From what I understand, he served as a solid role model for his players. As a coach he gave me one of the great thrills of my life - the upset of Clemson. He...

I don't agree with you.

I would like to bring him back because he is great guy, he knows what he is doing, he developed a number of strong relationships with fans and alums and knows how to raise money. I would not know about open or closed positions in the Athletic Department. I do know that there is a decent...

Dino is a good guy.

I don't agree at all. Knowing that in today's game coaches simply cannot divulge information, I thought he was fine. He is a good guy. I wish him the best.

A really good guy. I had no idea he was the AD at St. Bona. It seems like a really odd development. According to the article I read Joe made the decision with others - taking into account injuries and portal issues. Why he was forced out is beyond me. Heck, bring him back to Syracuse...

Tough loss. Great season! Fun team to watch! LGO!

MCBC in Cazenovia is just outstanding!

Tommy Meyers was on the 1970 and 71 teams. Ridlon was not working with Joel, who handled the games by himself at the time on WSYR. The Orange actually had two broadcasts for awhile with Red Parton handling the play-by-play on the Syracuse Football Network.

Steve Webster was a terrific athlete. I always thought that he got a raw deal with the Orange. He should have played a lot more than he did. I remember a game in 1972 when Marty J got hurt and Steve came into the game. He was unbelievable - had well over 100 yards rushing and showed the...

And he has been moved to safety.

Listened to Axe podcast. The reports sound very positive. It sounds like the team has come together very well. It sounds like Brown is coaching hard. It sounds like McCord can really throw the ball. A clip of Matt Villari was played. He indicated that there is more intensity under this...

Great news!

He is still around. He attends every SU home game. Great guy!

I attended a charity event last night in Center City Philadelphia. At one point, while standing in line for the buffet, I found myself next to former Eagles QB Ron Jaworski and his wife. I knew that Jaworski was from Lackawanna NY, so I asked him if he knew former SU fullback, Marty...

There were many in 1979 who discounted the NIT. Bob Knight was one who rejected that point of view. He talked about the great tradition of the tournament and explained that it was a national tournament even if it was no longer college basketball's national championship tournament. He...

In 1981 the Orange lost in the NIT Final. I was crushed. In 1979, when my alma mater, Indiana University won the NIT, my friends and I celebrated. The NIT is a national tournament. If my team has a chance to play in a national event I want my team to play. And if my team wins I am all...

No

Ugh!

F Clemson! They signed an agreement. If they want to go, let them go - and keep the money they promised to leave with the ACC. I do not wish them well.

Admittedly, I am not conversant on the portal.

I care. If the team can play, it should play. Like it or not, the NIT is a national championship event. At the very least, it affords the coaches more opportunities to coach in in-game situations. I bet Jim Boeheim would have chosen to play.

Bad decision.

When you have a chance to win a national championship, you play and compete.

Great!!

The future looks unbelievably bright for CNY. This is something that nobody could have predicted. I won't get political, but thank you to those who have given our community the kind of economic trajectory it has not had in 75 years.

He won a bowl game against a Big Ten opponent and I believe was the MVP of the game.

Ugh. Nassib was not ready to play in 2009. Marrone was hired as an NFL HC by two different teams. He was a great HC at Syracuse University. Great. It's a shame he chose to leave.

Your assessment of Robinson as a recruiter is not accurate. His record confirms his ineffectiveness in all aspects of running a college program. Perhaps the best indication of Robinson's inability to effectively recruit is the fact that in his first year, Marrone was forced to use a basketball...
