Welcome to National Coffee Day!

National Coffee Day celebrates coffee, the drink made from the roasted and ground beans of the coffee plant. Coffee beans originated in Ethiopia, and arabica beans are the main species, which now are grown throughout the "coffee belt", an area between the latitudes of 25 degrees North and 30 degrees South. Seventy-five percent of the world's coffee bean production is arabica. Most of the other coffee beans are robusta beans, or "Congo coffee" beans, which are more robust.

There are different legends as to how and when the drink was first brewed. One story claims that a 6th century goatherd from Kaffa named Kaldi saw that his goats were more lively after eating coffee beans. A monk named Mullah apparently noticed this and brewed the beverage and spread word of it around the region. Another story from the 15th century claims that a 9th century mufti—a Muslim legal expert—of Aden was the first to make the drink, and it became popular in Middle Eastern courts afterwards.

Which ACC basketball coaches will be on the hot seat? (Mike’s Mailbox) (PS; $; Waters)


With the start of the college basketball season just over a month away, activity at Mike’s Mailbox is heating up. The question is which coaching seats will be heating up once the season gets underway?

I take a look at which ACC coaches will be on the hot seat this season, plus several other questions in this week’s Mailbox.

If you have any college basketball-related questions, please email to mwaters@syracuse.com.

Q: I was curious which ACC coaches might be on the hot seat this coming season?

Ray

Mike:
The ACC enters this season with more coaches on the proverbial hot seat than any year I can remember.

I would say that North Carolina State’s Kevin Keatts and Pittsburgh’s Jeff Capel definitely need to have good years, or at least show improvement, in order to remain in their positions.

Syracuse Basketball: Orange has big-time battle in ACC-Big Ten Challenge (itlh; Adler)

Syracuse basketball will travel to Illinois a few days after the Thanksgiving holiday in late November for this season’s ACC-Big Ten Challenge, and this intriguing non-conference clash will feature two teams with lots of Orange in their respective fan bases.

On paper, I believe that this game will prove the most challenging among the 11 non-conference contests that the ‘Cuse will compete in during the 2022-23 campaign.

The Syracuse basketball Twitter account said earlier this week that the Orange will head to the Fighting Illini on Tuesday, Nov. 29, with the tip-off scheduled for 7 pm or 7:30 pm EST. ESPN or ESPN2 will televise this fourth-ever meeting between the two Orange-clad schools.

Over the past two stanzas, head coach Brad Underwood has guided Illinois to stellar performances in the rugged Big Ten Conference. In super early prognostications from national pundits prior to 2022-23 commencing, the Fighting Illini looks to be a top-25 squad that will contend for a top-four seed in the 2023 Big Dance.

Syracuse basketball will have a huge challenge trying to knock off Illinois on the road.

All-time, the Orange is 1-2 versus Illinois, per SU Athletics. In the most recent encounter, at the Dome in December of 1995, Syracuse basketball prevailed by a final count of 75-64.

However, in the Elite Eight of the 1989 NCAA Tournament, No. 1 seed Illinois defeated the second-seeded Orange, 89-86, to advance to the Final Four and break the collective heart of ‘Cuse Nation.

During the 2021-22 season, the Fighting Illini finished in a tie for first place within the Big Ten standings. Last year, Illinois went 23-10 overall, earning a No. 4 seed in March Madness. The Fighting Illini would fall in the round of 32 to No. 5 seed Houston.

A nationwide shortage of carbon dioxide (CO2) could cause problems for the beer industry.SYR


Beer shortage? How Central NY brewers are coping with nationwide supply chain issues (PS; Cazentre)

In early August, the Seneca Street Brew Pub in Manlius shut down all the taps in its downstairs tasting room. The reason: A shortage of carbon dioxide, which is necessary to give beer its fizz and push it through the tap lines.

Although the pub at 315 E. Seneca St. now has enough supply to reopen all its taps, co-owner Heidi Menikheim is still concerned.

“I’m in constant fear of running out again,” she said. Even worse, she said, a lack of carbon dioxide could impact beer production at Seneca Street and at Erie Canal Brewing in Canastota. That’s a larger craft brewery, also run by the Menikheim family.

“If we can’t brew beer, then we’re really in trouble,” she said.

Throughout the summer and into the fall, headlines across the country have had a dire warning: There’s a potential beer shortage looming.

Rising prices and supply chain issues are often cited, but the difficulty in finding carbon dioxide (CO2) has been one of the biggest areas of concern. CO2 is used not just to carbonate beer — who wants flat beer? — but also to push beer through lines and tanks and to clear oxygen, which can damage beer, out of the lines, tanks, kegs and more.

“It’s real,” said Paul Leone, executive director of the New York State Brewers Association, which represents hundreds of New York craft brewers. “It’s not especially critical at this point, but it’s something we’ve got our eyes on.”

The issue is a particular concern for small brewers. Some brewers, especially larger ones, are more likely to be able to set up systems that capture carbon dioxide produced during the brewing process so they can reuse it.

And suppliers are typically going supply their bigger customers first, said Patrick Penfield, professor of supply chain practice at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management.

“The bigger customers, who spend more money, are always going to be at the head of the line,” Penfield said.

The story about Ill. is incorrect. It said that the Orange beat Ill at the Dome in Dec of '95. That game, which I was at, was played in Hawaii. Ryan Blackwell played for Ill.

That was the tournament we all watched from the Hooters in downtown Jacksonville, before the Gator Bowl.
