Welcome to Pledge of Allegiance Day!

In 1942, Congressional legislation recognized the words of the Pledge of Allegiance. Pledge of Allegiance Day takes place on December 28, on the anniversary of the day in 1945 when an amendment was made to the 1942 legislation, "to give official congressional sanction to the pledge." Representative Herman Eberharter of Pennsylvania introduced the additional legislation.

The Pledge was written by Francis Bellamy, a socialist Baptist minister, for the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the Americas. President Benjamin Harrison proclaimed October 12 as a day to commemorate Christopher Columbus, and stated, "Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship." The "exercise" being referred to was the Pledge Of Allegiance, and it was on this day that it was first recited in schools.

Buddy Boeheim scored 14 of his 28 points in the opening five minutes of the second half and Syracuse scored 55 points after halftime in beating Brown 93-62 on Monday night.

Neither team had played a game in the last 15 days. Syracuse lost to Georgetown on Dec. 11, with games against Lehigh and Cornell getting postponed, and Brown was coming off a 70-65 loss to Vermont on Dec. 10.

Syracuse didn't show any rust, scoring 16 points in the opening five minutes of the game. Brown trailed by as many as 14 points in the first half, but pulled within 38-32 at the break.

Syracuse scored 30 points in the opening nine minutes of the second half, and led by at least 20 points through the final 14 minutes. The Orange shot 57.4% overall with Boeheim going 11 for 19. Syracuse was 13 of 21 from 3-point range and 10 of 20 at the free-throw line.

Joe Girard added 15 points, and Jimmy Boeheim and Cole Swider each scored 13 for Syracuse (6-5). Girard had seven assists and Jimmy Boeheim grabbed a team-high eight rebounds.


Instant Juice: Syracuse 93, Brown 62 - The Juice Online (the juice; Bierman)

A quick take on Syracuse’s 93-62 victory against Brown on Monday evening, in front of a more subdued Dome crowd following new university COVID protocols for live events:

WHAT HAPPENED: Playing its first game in 16 days (December 11 at Georgetown), Syracuse (6-5, 1-0) came out on fire building a 14 point lead over the first 10 minutes, but Brown methodically came back to trail by just six at halftime. However, the second half was all Orange. SU went on a 16-to-2 burst to start the half, with Buddy Boeheim scoring 10 points in under three minutes on route to a stellar game-high 28 points, complimented by Jimmy Boeheim who had 13 points. The zone also stiffened holding Brown to just 3-for-14 shooting from three point range in the half, outscoring the Bears 55-30 after halftime.

ANALYSIS: Brown (8-6) also had not played a game in a couple of weeks (December 10), and it took the Bears most of the first half to get their game going, but Syracuse was a different team in the second half. SU tweaked the zone to force Brown into hurried shooting (30%) and turnovers (14). Not only did the Boeheim brothers fill it up points-wise (41) to spark the post halftime blitz, but they had a combined 13 rebounds. SU is a different team when Jesse Edwards (or Frank Anselem) score inside. The duo combined for 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Edwards had three blocks. As a bonus, Bourama Sidibe got into his first game action of the season with just over 4:00 to play coming back from a knee injury, and hit a free throw and grabbed a rebound.

HERO: Joe Girard stood out at both ends with perhaps his best all-around game of the season. Girard found open teammates for a game-high seven assists, was 3-for-5 from long range among his well-placed 15 points, and was active in the zone with five steals. Very quietly, Symir Torrence had seven assists in his 17 minutes off the bench, and drained a trey to boot.

ZERO: It’s picky in the first game played in 16 days, but Syracuse left nine points on the free throw line in the first half. SU was just 7-16 from the stripe before making that meaningless with its second half dominance.

WHAT’S NEXT: Syracuse has a quick turnaround hosting another Ivy League member, Cornell, this Wednesday night, December 29 at the Dome. This game replaces the ACC meeting with Georgia Tech, postponed due to COVID protocols in the Yellow Jackets program. Syracuse last played Cornell in 2019, winning 72-53, and has won 40 straight games in the series dating back to 1968. Jimmy Boeheim was the game’s leading scorer in ’19 with 25 points for the Big Red. Cornell (8-2) last played December 8 falling at Virginia Tech 93-60. Game Time: 7:00 p.m. ET. TV: ACC Regional Sports Networks (YES Network in Syracuse).

Buddy Boeheim exploded out of the pause to help Syracuse take down Brown in convincing fashion. What adjustments did the Orange make in the second half to pick up the blowout win? Plus, the guys breakdown Joe Girard's tale of two halves performance and why he played better down the stretch. Also, the bench saw significant playing time, but there remains concerns about Benny Williams after another lackluster performance.

Tyler Aki and Tim Leonard discuss it all and more on the Tuesday edition of the Locked on Syracuse Podcast.


Buddy Boeheim leads Syracuse to big win over Brown (FLM)


In a matchup of teams that each endured long breaks due to COVID-19 postponements or cancellations, Syracuse used quick starts in both halves to rout Brown 93-62 Monday night in Syracuse, N.Y.

Buddy Boeheim scored a game-high 28 points for the Orange (6-5), hitting 11 of 19 shots from the field and 4 of 6 on 3-pointers. Joseph Girard III added 15 points and seven assists, while Jimmy Boeheim scored 13 points and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds.

Playing its first game since Dec. 11, Syracuse led by just six points starting the second half but pulled away with a 23-6 spurt in the first 6:29. Buddy Boeheim accounted for 14 points in the stretch and Jimmy Boeheim capped it with a jump hook that gave the Orange a 61-38 lead.

Kino Lilly Jr. scored 13 points to pace the Bears (8-6), who were playing their first game since Dec. 10. Brown was close earlier this season to road and neutral-court wins against North Carolina and Colorado, respectively, but couldn't quite put Syracuse on upset alert.

The outcome came down to shooting. While the Orange connected on 65.7 percent of their second-half shots to finish the game at 57.4 percent, the Bears only hit 34.3 percent for the game. Syracuse sank 13 of 21 3-pointers and had 23 assists on 35 made buckets.

MBB: Updated COVID Isolation Rules 2021-12-27

From the official ACC release of Dec. 27, 2021...

ACC Medical Advisory Group Reports

ACC Adds Shorter Isolation Period Options for Vaccinated Individuals to its Medical Advisory Group Report

GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today an addition to the league’s Medical Advisory Group Report that includes options for reducing isolation for vaccinated individuals, if permitted by local and state public health officials.
In addition to the updated report, the Medical Advisory Group has also stressed that due diligence be maintained on everyday mitigation strategies as the best way to reduce and minimize the spread of COVID and its variants.
The ACC’s Medical Advisory Group has been meeting weekly since the spring of 2020 to share information on the impact of COVID-19 on ACC campuses and intercollegiate athletics. The first MAG report was released on July 29, 2020, and today is the 12th version of the report over the last 17 months.

The updated report maintains the below language related to isolation, while adding two options to shorten isolation for vaccinated individuals. [NOTE: bold, italics, and underline highlights are mine - HM]

Pursuant to CDC guidance, an individual who tests positive for COVID-19 shall be isolated for at least 10 days from the onset of symptoms/positive test and at least 1 day (i.e., 24 hours) has passed since recovery defined as resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and improvement of respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath). A student-athlete’s medical treatment will be determined by institutional medical staff, and be considered unavailable for training, team/group activities or game play until the student-athlete has both completed necessary isolation and had a medical clearance by team physicians.

  • A vaccinated individual who tests positive for COVID-19 may complete isolation when one of the following occurs, if permitted by local and state public health officials:
    • Once asymptomatic, the individual has two negative tests (i.e., molecular PCR or antigen) from specimens that are collected at least 24 hours apart; or
    • At least seven (7) days have elapsed since the first positive test, the individual’s symptoms are improving, and the individual has one negative test (i.e., molecular PCR or antigen) within 24 hours of being cleared.
      • Such an individual must be fever-free for at least 24 hours to be cleared under either of the above options.

Upstate Medical University and Syracuse University shine on a November night. Most of downtown Syracuse is to the right. Many leaders interviewed for Conversation on Leadership columns in 2021 praised the wealth of talent and creativity that CNY’s colleges and universities provide as well as the growth and vitality of downtown.Dennis Nett | file photo

What makes life in CNY great? Successful leaders see the strengths (PS; $; Linhorst)

For my weekly Conversations on Leadership, I usually ask executives about strengths of Upstate New York and why they choose to stay in CNY. Around New Year’s, I compile excerpts into a resolution of sorts to celebrate Central New York’s good life in the year ahead. If there’s a summary, it might go like this:

Central New York has one of America’s highest concentrations of colleges and universities, instilling a long tradition of vibrancy, youthful energy, and a wealth of talent. The region has affordable housing, an easy commute, and rich cultural amenities in food, arts, and entertainment. It is in a beautiful setting with superb outdoor recreation. It’s populated with resilient, hard-working people who have created communities of neighborliness.

What also stands out is a consistent similarity with excerpts I compiled for the new year in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017.

The largest number of the 51 leaders I featured in 2021 came from manufacturing – 14. Eleven were in fields related to digital technologies, engineering, and research. The rest were scattered in retail, non-profits, banking/accounting, entertainment, services, and various kinds of educational fields. Some are retired executives; others are young entrepreneurs. Some lead companies with hundreds of employees and a global reach; some lead a handful with a local focus.

Here are excerpts from a few of the past year’s interviews.

Adam Maher is co-founder and CEO of Ursa Space Systems in Ithaca. He came to Upstate New York from Palo Alto and is growing a successful company. I asked: What do you see as Upstate’s strengths?

There’s a lot of talent in Upstate New York. There are a lot of great schools locally that build that talent base. You’ve got big research institutions, everything from Cornell here in Ithaca to Syracuse, RIT, RPI. There’s a lot of potential with the universities and a lot of historical knowledge. A lot of history in New York state is not appreciated. Think about all the efforts here. Rome has the Air Force Lab. Rochester launched everything from Xerox to Kodak. There’s a lot of great work going on in Syracuse.

Cornell, Ithaca College, and TC3 (Tompkins Cortland Community College in Dryden) started and support the Rev incubator.

I would say every state has its intricacies and drawbacks. We have employees in six states and every state has its pluses and minuses from a regulation standpoint. At the end of the day, there’s a good set of talent here. From here in Upstate New York, we’re able to help folks. If there’s an oil spill on the other side of the world, we’re able to do something. We’re able to make that global impact.
