    Class of 2025 DL Ethan Utley (TN) Verbal to Tennessee

    Yes sir, we are a factory school indeed. Coach Fran gets it, and I believe he will help restore and augment our national reputation to its rightful place. He may be on the Mount Rushmore of Syracuse sports one day in addition to caring about and teaching the next generation of men to...

    Dan Mullen

    It might sadly seem that these ‘Guys and Dolls’ handicappers would have done a better job at picking out our winning horse. It feels like we might be tearing up our ticket stubs right about now. Still, thank you Chip for reminding me of this old Frank Sinatra & Marlin Brando movie from 1955...

    Dan Mullen

    Not for nothing but it took me almost 60 minutes to get through the last 20-30 pages while watching the ESPN 2 crew including Matt Barrie, Joey Galloway and Mr Mullen but the last newsworthy note of the 11pm-12am CST segment included a helmet sticker for Kentucky from Matt Barrie for their win...

    Clemson Opens -7.5

    All in all, I am rather pleased by this development. I hope that it may serve us well to rally the troops and quietly play the ‘disrespect’ card or the follow up ‘they didn’t know’ fodder as bulletin board material for the team on the field and for the fans in the stands to help the mob...

    ACC, PAC-12, and BIG alliance / conference realignment

    It would appear to me that the DFW metro area, which loves all things football about as much as I love Hoffman’s white natural casing snappy grillers should be a more welcome addition to the ACC through SMU than we may otherwise be led to believe. Whereas the PHL market, where I also lived and...

    New DC: Rocky Long (now official)

    For those of us Orangemen fans who may not be familiar with the movie “City Slickers”, it was a 1991 movie theatre flick starring Billy Crystal among a few others but one of the other principal characters was a very old, irascible, but well meaning wise, strong, (did I say old), ranch hand boss...

    Last two games in context

    As I recall, the Orangemen dominated and demoralized the shocked and completely overwhelmed and entitled diaper dandies from the pedo valley. I believe that the score was SU 41-7 at the half and that old JoePedoPa went to the b10 a couple of years later in 1990 not wanting to risk the...

    ACC, PAC-12, and BIG alliance / conference realignment

    In my last reply, I took the time to shed some light on why the Texas A&M football program would be more well regarded as a collegiate football power in today’s landscape versus your desire to classify a definition of a ‘blue blood’. Rather than devolve into a subject of how ut got caught...

    ACC, PAC-12, and BIG alliance / conference realignment

    With all due respect, and as a firm believer in the glory and respect of our beloved ‘Boys of Syracuse’, and as a native Syracusan, I believe that I may be able to bring a little more light to the discussion of where A&M may be in the national pecking order of strength in the collegiate football...

    Class of 2022 OLB Jacorrey Bible (NC)

    The Athletic - JB

    I believe that the understanding and learning curve of our Coach Boeheim’s end of game strategy, implementation and execution underwent extraordinary trial by fire earlier in his career when our team free throw shooting percentages seemed to be among some of the worst numbers in all of division...

    The Carrier Dome Renaming Thread...

    The Carrier Dome Renaming Thread...

    As I may recall, the total cost of the dome was $26M. Carrier Corporation donated $5M to the cost of construction, the Crouse-Hinds Company donated $1M to SU toward the cost of construction and the other $20M came from NY state. Please feel free to correct this if I am mistaken.

    Recruitment help

    Is there a direct contact with our men’s basketball program who can get in touch with me about a potential high major recruit in Texas? I have been a family friend for about 15 years here in Texas of a family with an 8th grade student with a 3.9 GPA taking 10th grade classes and is being heavily...

    Was Elijah's shot the longest SU shot ever?

    Excellent memory Skinny Atlas! I remember listening to this game on the radio which without being able to see the game personally was the only way to enjoy SU hoops live. I wish I could remember the opponent but I do remember Joel Mareiness going crazy on the play by play as we all remember he...

    Chance Amie Ends up at Grambling

    I live about 1 hour from Blinn College and about 1 hour from Texas A&M. I am not sure of the totality of their exact arrangement but to my understanding, Blinn College is a direct feeder school with fully transferable credits and some other coordinated experiences with Texas A&M. Not for...

    Future Campus Framework Discussion

    Crouse Hinds was also a major benefactor to the dome with all interior lighting at near cost and a $1M gift to the university to supplement what I believe was the $5M grant from Carrier in exchange for the naming rights. C-H used to pay for children’s productions at the Hotel Syracuse around...

    Dan Dakich on the call tonight

    Thank you savor the correction. I had believed it was Dan Dakich by trying to remember the voices in that game without looking it up but now that you mention it, I can hear their different voice inflections. I really appreciate bringing it to my attention. It still tickles me to remember...

    Dan Dakich on the call tonight

    I do not believe I will ever forget Dan Dakich's call of the alleged "neutral" site game as a color commentator for the SU-Florida game a few years ago in Tampa, Florida. As we all knew, Andy Rautins really came of age as a senior with a blend of court awareness and shooting skill that we...

    Class of 2019 CG Joe Girard III (NY) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    Yeah, can you imagine the response back when our coaching staff replies that with our staff we could develop and have the new and growing collegiate version of James Harden and Chris Paul with who almost all the national experts were also convinced would not work here in SE Texas. In a more...

    New QB Coach Kirk Martin (TX)

    The business of Texas high school football is far, far more profitable and carries more weight of community inspiration, visibility and espirit de corps than most other medium or small business enterprises here in Texas or in many other states. The Manvel ISD football program or probably any...

    Class of 2018 RB Jarveon Howard (MS) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE

    In fact, the best running back in the history of SU Football not to wear #44 was our own 5’7” 190# fast, powerful and elusive wrecking ball Joe Morris. With a flashback look at his rushing touchdown for the 1985 super bowl winning G-men on the goal line shows the heart, strength, leverage and...

    Class of 2018 LB Martrevious "Tre" Allison (TX) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE/Transferring

    On the right path

    During the the two years between our near championship of 1987 & the ‘Rhode’ disappointment of 1988 we had arguably the best rebounding tandem duo the Orangemen have ever had to date in our all around ‘Windex Man’ Mr. Derrick Coleman and our own first US basketball ‘Greek Freak’ Mr. Rony...

    Class of 2019 SG Brycen Goodine (MA) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    Wow, I believe that the "High Flying" and Rocket Man" Chris Sease would give this list a run for the money as well. He was an explosive leaper who could out jump anyone on the floor and I never saw anyone directly attempt a shot on him for fear it would be swatted into the cheap seats even...

    UCONN... hated everywhere

    Thanks HOFCeluck & Dasher, you are right! Jim Mora had so many classic rants between those two franchises, I neglected to apply the right one in this instance.

    UCONN... hated everywhere

    Actually, back in the day, my dad had a friendly relationship with Roy Danforth and I went to high school with his son.

    Class of 2018 OT Qadir White (NY) SIGNED NLI to SYRACUSE

    I cannot recall and do not believe there was a 5-star designation in 1982, but Tim Green from Liverpool H.S. was a tremendously coveted national recruit who elected to stay home and anchor the Orangemen defensive line for our beloved Coach Mac teams. We do not beat #1 Nebraska in 1984 17-9...

    See our dream list of 20 schools Syracuse football should schedule: Who's on yours?

In fact, with a son who graduated from UT Law School and another son with an...

    #6 Syracuse at Texas, 1993

    I remember this game very well. In fact I was in Austin at the game. The game time was changed from a 7pm start to a 2:30 or 3:30 afternoon start. The gametime temperature was a record 97 degrees and being on the visiting sun side of the field with the SU team, I could tell that our players were...

    Okay fellow Orange fans, as a longtime lurker, and native Syracusan, perhaps this might be the time to dip my toes into water for a change.
