Welcome to Bagpipe Appreciation Day!

Today we celebrate the bagpipes! The instruments have long been associated with the Scottish Highlands, although they have come from many different places, and there are many variations of them. They have also been used in many different contexts.

The main components of the bagpipe are the bag, chanter, and drones. The bag is usually made of animal skin or rubberized cloth. It is inflated either by having air breathed into it through a blowpipe or by using a bellows. Air can then be fed throughout the instrument to make the sound, by placing arm pressure on the bag. The bag allows sound to be continuous while giving players the chance to take breaths, as well as for several tones to be played at the same time.

The chanter, or melody pipe, has finger holes that let a player make notes to form melodies. The other pipes, called drones, may have single or double reeds. They play single, constant notes that accompany the melody. They are tuned with the chanter by lengthening or shortening their extendable joints. The pipes are in wooden sockets, or stocks, which are tied into the bag.

Homer Drew's Team Heartfire falls against Syracuse alumni in TBT (nwitimes.com; Ferguson)


A second-half resurgence allowed Team Heartfire to continue its quest for the million-dollar TBT prize, but it was Boehim's Army with the final run in a 68-62 win over Homer Drew's squad on Monday.

The Hall of Fame Valparaiso coach orchestrated a roster that was dominant in a 78-65 first-round win over The Overlooked. They found that same spark for a 13-0 run in nearly three minutes to take a 44-41 lead with 3:27 left in the third quarter against the Syracuse alumni team, named after Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim.

AJ Walton scored the final four points of that run to give Team Heartfire a lead, erasing a 12-point halftime deficit. LSU product Aaron Epps scored 13 points with a key 3 in that run. Tevin Mack, who finished at Clemson, scored a team-high 14 points. Lew Wallace grad Branden Dawson did not play in either of the two games.

A deadball rebound was the first stoppage under four minutes in the fourth quarter, starting the Elam Ending. The target score of 67 (eight points added to leading team's score) was set with Boeheim's Army up 59-58 at that point.

Jared Wilson-Frame, of Pitt, hit a 3 to give Heartfire a 61-59 lead before Boeheim's Army went on a 9-1 game-clinching run. That was headlined by dunks from D.J. Kennedy and Chris McCullough, who scored the final four points. Boeheim's Army was led by Keifer Sykes, a Green Bay grad, who scored 17 points off the bench.

Syracuse Basketball: The super league of all super leagues, just for you (itrlh; Adler)

With speculation that we may be in store for another round of conference realignments, amid the media reports that Oklahoma and Texas are interested in joining the SEC, we felt it was a relevant time to put forth the most amazing super conference for Syracuse basketball.

First of all, you’re welcome. Second of all, if you have feedback, good or bad, please let us know. Thirdly, if you have your own ideas, definitely share them with us!

In drafting this perfect 16-squad super league for the Orange, and it is perfect, we have taken into account a variety of factors, including any previous history with the ‘Cuse, geographic proximity, fun mascot names and a whole host of other ridiculous criteria. Let’s have at it.

Introducing the Syracuse basketball, new and improved, other-worldly conference.

Colgate

This Patriot League member has proven terrific on several occasions in recent years, and we could all dress up as toothbrushes and/or toothpaste bottles during games. Hey, dental hygiene is important.

Vermont
I feel like this America East Conference team had some sort of upset over Syracuse basketball in the Big Dance a few years back. Not sure, though.

St. Bonaventure
The Bonnies are a really good Atlantic 10 Conference group. Plus, I just like the name Bonnies.

Boston College
We have to include at least one Atlantic Coast Conference team. The Eagles will provide the Orange with one to two victories every season, right?

West Virginia
A throwback to the old Big East Conference. My second-favorite head coach, behind Jim Boeheim, is Bob Huggins. Huggy Bear!

St. John’s
I simply want to play at Madison Square Garden every year.

Iona
Rick Pitino is the head coach of this squad. That is all.

Buffalo
Coach Boeheim doesn’t like Buffalo. Naturally, I want them in this league.

Bryant
The Bulldogs, out of the Northeast Conference, nearly knocked off the ‘Cuse a season ago. Solid group.

Oregon
The Ducks seem to pluck away Syracuse basketball players all too frequently.

Rutgers
The Scarlet Knights are trending in a positive direction. Another former Big East foe.

Vanderbilt
My son lives in Nashville, Tenn., so selfishly, I want Vandy in the mix.

Richmond
Let’s avenge that awful 1991 NCAA Tournament loss.

Butler
Let’s avenge that painful 2010 Sweet 16 setback.

South Dakota State
The nickname of this team is the Jackrabbits. Enough said.

DBR Podcast #330 - Conference Chaos! (DBR.; podcast; King)

The DBR Podcast crew takes a deep dive into how the likely implosion of the Big 12 could impact the future of the ACC and Duke. We talk about which schools the ACC might be interested in bringing into the fold and what could happen if someone like the SEC comes calling for some of the ACC’s football heavy hitters.

Then, after the break, we are back to basketball with the release of more summer practice scrimmage footage from Durham. Jason Evans actually took the time to chart every single play in the scrimmage video and has some stats to share.

Finally, we wrap it up with the latest from the recruiting trail. One big-time recruit is only days away from making his choice known and we let you in on the latest deadeye shooter that Coach Scheyer is eyeing for Duke’s future.
