Sadie Hawkins Day originated from Al Capp's comic strip, Li'l Abner, which ran from 1934 to 1977. In the comic strip, Sadie Hawkins was the homely looking daughter of Hekzebiah Hawkins, and at the age of 35 she had not yet married. In an effort to marry her off, Hekzebiah brought together all the unmarried men of the town of Dogpatch, and had them run out of town while being pursued by Sadie Hawkins. Whoever lost the foot race had to marry Sadie Hawkins, and this ended up being John Jonston. Hekzebiah named this Sadie Hawkins Day. SU News
A look at the opening night win for the Syracuse Orange
One game down, and the Syracuse Orange are off to a nice start with their win over Cornell in their home-opener. It was a sloppy first half, but the Orange used a second half offensive run to overwhelm the Big Red.
The offense looked stagnant at first, but the Orange were able to generate easier looks with their ability to push the ball off of Cornell misses. This team lacks offensive firepower, so getting easy transition looks will be needed if they want to outscore opponents this winter.
Despite the slow start on offense, Syracuse looked like they knew what they were doing on the defensive end, both in the zone and the press. This team is long and athletic, which showed as they were able to recover from being beaten off the dribble, leading to highlight blocks and contested shots. ...
On Friday night, in Syracuse’s season-opening win over Cornell, nothing extremely out of the ordinary happened. The Orange, as expected, handled a lesser foe. There were the usual early-season mistakes that a young team will make.
But there was one thing extra. One thing different. There was another Boeheim on the court. But for Cornell, not Syracuse. This happens in sports, sometimes. Usually, it’s with siblings, not a father and a son. In a lot of college basketball cases, the sons play for the dad, a la the McDermotts at Creighton, the Hunters at Georgia State, the McCaffreys at Iowa, etc. ...
The Syracuse Men's Basketball team opened the 2017-2018 season on Friday night against upstate rival Cornell. There was nothing remarkably unusual about that... other than Orange coach Jim Boeheim's eldest son, Jimmy, is a freshman for the Big Red. And so Jimmy has gone from being a ball boy in the Carrier Dome in his toddler years, so playing his first collegiate game on that same court bearing his father's name. And in fact, his first collegiate points came on a three as he positioned himself right in front of the Syracuse bench. Drew it up great! But at the end of the day, this was about Syracuse vs. Cornell, and starting the season off the right way. And to the extent Syracuse won the game, then mission accomplished. Orange > Big Red, 77-45.

Founded in 1977, The Horned Dorset Inn is a veteran and historic figure in its industry.
The restaurant will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year by treating its customers to a throwback menu. Based in Leonardsville in central New York, the inn will offer the featured menu through mid-November. Dishes are $65 per plate.
“We reimagined some of our most popular plates and menu items and put some new imaginings together,” said owner and chef Aaron Wratten. “I sat down with some former chefs and we made some great items.”
The Horned Dorset Inn began as a classical French restaurant, and throughout the years, the restaurant has become representative of its new owners while paying respect to classic French food.

Reimagined making a lot of more money charging more and attaching a trendy label. Shouldn't eliminating the middle man make it less expensive? Good for them.
