Is this why we fell apart at Cornell when the OC got tossed? We were a totally different team after he was sent packing. That had me concerned about Gary’s play calling and the overall management of the offense. Look at me worrying about the best who ever played organizing the offense in an...

No. I’m Lavander Williams.

And people are blaming Red for that, which is insane. What was Red supposed to do? Open his own checkbook and overpay to keep a guy that clearly wasn’t sold on staying? He knew he was going to play next year, but it wasn’t going to be a starting role. I’m sure he wasn’t happy about that...

Exactly. Thank you, Cherie!

You’re right. Josh Pace was better. My bad.

Maliq definitely has a special skill set. He is a taller Josh Pace. Unfortunately, he either didn’t like what his role would be next season, or he wanted fat stacks. Or maybe he just didn’t want to be part of the reassembled team, which didn’t include his pal JT. Whatever his reasoning was...

Weather was windy and a bit chilly, but nothing major for CNY. No rain was the key. To me, not a factor. #2 was not really an issue either. All we needed was for even half the lax crowd to stick around and then have the tailgates break up earlier. There were plenty of people in the...

I expected more of us at the Quad Walk quite honestly, especially given the horde of lax fans that were funneling down towards the West Lots. Seems that many of them could have stuck around another 45 minutes before running to the cars. The Chapel area would have been packed! I suppose the...

It was the swarm of pop warner kids begging at the rails. I saw two players (who I will not out here ;) ) try desperately to tell the kids they would “get them after the game”, but the kids wore them down. This was just after the game started, and one of the players was a true freshman. He...

I don’t begrudge Maliq at all. I wish him well at Duke, except for when they play us. I hope we block every shot he takes, I hope we posterize him a few times, and at the end shake hands. He obviously didn’t like losing his bud, JT, and he clearly didn’t want to play a sixth man role for us...

IIRC, Carmelo tweaked his back in the second half and wasn’t 100% for the latter part of the game. It was the injury he sustained when Foreign Dude from Oklahoma blindsided him into the table during the Elite Eight game. Not only was that an intentional foul (which the refs completely missed)...

As usual, AB shows his best move is to keep his mouth shut and his hands off a keyboard.

My first attempt at a signature GIF. Hope this works.

He would be the starter here. Nova just signed the PSU kid and have other guards rostered. Xavier is still looking and in the hunt for a kid they could hand the keys to even if Leffew picked them. SU is still the safest bet for him to load up on PT. This delay has to be about the bidding at...

And he was proved right in many cases. JB had connections throughout the NBA and knew what teams were looking for.

Exactly! It looked like a catapult launch. Those either drop through with a splash, or they clang into the 10th row. No in-between. It was one of the WORST releases I’ve ever seen. No consistent follow-through either. When he did, he made the shot, but most times he released high and...

He didn’t want to be a one and done. Melo wanted to come back another year. JB actually spoke about it an interview one time. He had to tell Melo “you have to go”. His value was so high at that moment, it was time to grab his dream. As much as JB would have loved to have him back, he gave...

I have faith that our Football S&C staff up there are influencing the rest of the programs with their focus on building strength, lean muscle, and mobility. Lampkin will be in good hands. I bet he slims down by 10-15 lbs and is much more cut by October.

He needs the Super Shakes that Fran makes. We all could use a few of those.

If he commits to Nova, I’m driving to JoeCollege’s house to mow his lawn. Neither is happening.

Makes you wonder. So, if $$$ was not an issue, he’s saying it’s better to come off the bench at Duke than at SU? Maybe he just wanted a change of scenery when it was clear that his role was going to be the 6th man? Who knows? He’ll play less at Duke than he would have here. I’d bet on it.

Certainly not DART football. ;)

This is really cool to see. The coaches know they can help each other succeed. Just great timing that we’re in the middle of Spring Camp and the FB Wing is buzzing. Never hurts to have the other head coaches connecting across sports.

UConn. Just looks like a Spencer replacement.

This one still shocks and saddens me. Out of the blue, and he was still a kid. Did they ever say what he died of? I assume it was a heart issue. So sad how his career went. He was a casualty of the whole Bernie Fine BS. If Bernie’s still there, he doesn’t have the problem with “paper gate”.

His PPG clearly don’t measure for this motley crew. He better package himself with Khadary. ;)

“Look, Jay Wright ain’t walking through those doors, son.”

And hustling to get in position to take a charge. He was a maestro at that. Never saw a 7-footer who could draw a charge like guard. Lampkin is going to have Onuaku syndrome where guys are going to bounce off him and all of a sudden there’s a whistle…just because.

This. I’ve asked my guy a few times about this situation over the past many months. ESPN is not going to shell out more money to the ACC because they have a great deal going. They are making a damn good profit off the conference and getting it all for below the current market value. The ACC...

Can’t Biden sign an Executive Order or something to help our cause?

Still can’t believe that Brunner and his roommate robbed their pizza delivery guy with a samurai sword. That is epitome of GTown crossed with Tark. LOL! Guess they thought the pizza guy wouldn’t report them. Numbskulls.

Ballo to UConn. Book it.

Fresno State was the worst place he could have gone. Back on the old AOL board I recall hearing that Walton’s mom was pissed at SU and JB for not “doing more” to get him eligible, and she was the one who ultimately talked him into transferring. I heard JB tried to explain the situation and...

So there really WILL be UFO’s until we prove there aren’t?

Time for some new blood in the Women’s FF. Orange blood, that is. And real Orange, not the creamsicle crap. ;)

Remember, it all goes to the NIL collective. ;)

UConn had plenty of chances to take the game. Iowa’s D started to slow them down, contest shots, and UConn went cold from the perimeter. Both teams got sloppy as well. UConn was playing very scrappy D, so they were bound to start picking up fouls. The problem with the refs is that they were...

I change my previous assessment. That was a foul. Moving screen. VAR got one right. Wait, wrong sport.

There was a lot of contact, but there were also so many more physical fouls they could have called during the game that they didn’t. On the turnover at halfcourt just before that final UConn possession, Edwards actually pulled Stulke away from the ball after she lost it. That could have been...

And we used to do defensive slide drills holding the arms out with bricks in each hand

That’s actually what I meant, Cherie. Wasn’t clear in my delivery. I’m just dumbfounded that we missed on her out of HS, especially with her coming out of Buffalo. Did she commit to VT before Coach Jack was announced as our head coach?

Do we have any analytics people on our staff? Seems that we’re Syracuse University, we should be on the cutting edge of applying analytics to our sports teams.

The Transfer Portal: so easy even a caveman can do it!

Fran and the Recruiting Express must have landed a big fish down there. That was the BOOM that caused it. ;)

Talked to a couple people in the Syracuse area who felt it. Someone I know at SU didn’t feel it up there. Another person told me they felt it out near Cooperstown. I was in the car so didn’t feel a thing.

How did we lose out on Strack again? Hurts to see a 6-5 Upstater playing somewhere else.
