Predictions for SU Orange Team Awards for 2014-15 Season (BR; Neuman!)
Even though the Syracuse basketball team won't play a game that counts until Nov. 14, the start of the season is still less than a month away. The Orange will play their first of two exhibition games on Nov. 2.
There are plenty of reasons for fans to be interested in this year's Syracuse squad. Jim Boeheim has brought in two exciting freshmen and previous role players will be stepping into new, expanded roles. And it's plain hard to determine just how good this team will be because of all of the new pieces in place.
So with just a few weeks until they lace them up, let's get going on our Orange season preview. We'll start by predicting the winners of the Orange's team awards, and we will give honorable mention in each slide to a player or two who just missed the cut or could take the award with an outstanding season.

How Syracuse Matches Up with Boston College (TNIAAM; Nelson)
Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad the basketball season is quickly approaching?! Thought so. Me too.
About the extra cheese right there -- sorry, not sorry. We're looking very forward to the 2014-2015 season, that's all. This means it's time to help everyone get ready for the year by reacquainting you with our conference foes. Let's get to it, starting with the Boston College Eagles!
2013-2014 Record: 8-24 (4-14)
Conference Ranking: 14th

Flags at the State Tower Building: 'Ups and Downs' Atop the Tallest Building in Downtown Syracuse (PS; Kirst)
The idea was to be there for one of the most familiar - and visible - rituals in Central New York. So we arrived at 8 a.m. on a Monday at the State Tower Building in downtown Syracuse, and we met maintenance workers Kaz Otabara and Jeff Fish in the lobby.
Then we rode an elevator up to the 20th floor, and we followed the two men into the old stairwell that climbs a couple of floors higher, into a place where the classic art deco skyscraper - opened in the late 1920s - doesn't feel or look a whole lot different than it did when it was built to the design of Thompson & Churchill, architects of New York.

The Krebs in Skaneateles: What Fine Dining Should Be (PS; Marmaduke)
If you require pretension and preciousness with your celebrations, then The Krebs is not for you. But if you enjoy superb food expertly prepared in a comfortable, pretty venue, The Krebs will make you happy.
An evening like this doesn't come cheap -- nor should it. From the remarkable expertise and disciplined creativity of the chef to the impeccable training of every member of staff, the quality of the experience is worth its price. With attention to detail that never becomes fussiness for its own sake, Austin Johnson creates dishes that make the best of superior ingredients, often with a surprising touch.
Add to that The Krebs' commitment to donate all net proceeds to women's and children's charities in this area, and the experience becomes even more appealing.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees Include Green Day, Sting, Bill Withers, NIN and Lou Reed (PS; AP)
The punk trio Green Day, "Lean on Me" singer Bill Withers and Sting are among the first-time nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Six of the 15 nominees for the hall's Class of 2015 are on the ballot for the first time. Other new nominees announced on Thursday are the short-lived British quartet The Smiths, abrasive rockers Nine Inch Nails and the late blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Chic is on the ballot for the ninth time. Other repeat nominees include The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, War, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kraftwerk, The Marvelettes, N.W.A., The Spinners and late Syracuse University alumnus Lou Reed.
Reed and Sting have both previously been inducted as members of The Velvet Underground and The Police, respectively.
