Feast_of_the_Cross.jpg

Welcome to Feast of the Cross Day!

In the Christian liturgical calendar, there are several different Feasts of the Cross, all of which commemorate the cross used in thecrucifixion of Jesus. While Good Friday is dedicated to the Passion of Christ and the Crucifixion, these days celebrate the cross itself, as the instrument of salvation.

In English, it is called The Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the official translation of the Roman Missal, while the 1973 translation called itThe Triumph of the Cross. In some parts of the Anglican Communion the feast is called Holy Cross Day, a name also used byLutherans. The celebration is also sometimes called Holy Rood Day.

As per Christian faith the True Cross was discovered in 326 by Saint Helena, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, during a pilgrimage she made to Jerusalem. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was then built at the site of the discovery, by order of Helena and Constantine. The church was dedicated nine years later, with a portion of the cross. One-third remained in Jerusalem, one-third was brought to Rome and deposited in the Sessorian basilica Santa Croce in Gerusalemme (Holy Cross in Jerusalem), and one-third was taken to Constantinople to make the city impregnable.[1]

Bulls Recon: Talking Syracuse With TNIAAM’s John Cassillo (thedailystampede.com; Sherwin/Cassillo)

We get all the dirt on Syracuse from the editor of one of SB Nation’s best blogs ever.

As this is the last game for awhile against one of USF’s most common football opponents in history (this is the 10th in the series, Bulls lead 7-2), we will miss the wit and wisdom ofTroyNunesIsAnAbsoluteMagician.com. What Sean Keeley built, and what today’s contributor John Cassillo carries on, is one of the best blogs on the network. They look at sports a lot like we do, but instead of ‘rasslin gifs they have Chipotle takes. They are smart, funny, insightful, Boeheim-worshipping, and we will miss reading them when it involves the Bulls.

John runs the day-to-day for TNIAAM as managing editor now, and he was nice enough to answer some questions about the new-look Orange for us. You can see my responses to his questions about USF here(spoiler alert, I get called a homer in the comments), and thanks to him for the time. You can follow him@johncassillo on Twitter, and @nunesmagician is their house account.


1. What the was that last week?

Right afterward, maybe I would've agreed with the overall negative takeaways from Syracuse's loss to Louisville. But y'know what? There really weren't many surprises.

Syracuse vs. USF football preview: Q&A with the Daily Stampede (TNIAAM; Cassillo/Sherwin)

The Syracuse Orange did not do so well in last week’s matchup with Louisville. Coming off the loss, they’ll face another team with a mobile quarterback and some upside. “Great.”

Below, the Daily Stampede’s Collin Sherwin (who you should follow on Twitter) stops by to tell us everything we need to know about those pesky USF Bulls. For those confused, the Daily Stampede is largely the same operation from the Voodoo Five days at SB Nation. So chances are you recall at least a few of the South Florida folks that show up here. Be friendly.

Oh, and I answered some questions over there too, if you’d like to wander over.

Syracuse got roasted by Louisville's Lamar Jackson last week. Do you think Quinton Flowers possesses a similar enough skill set to do similar damage?

I'd say similar but not mirror image. Quinton has tremendous elusiveness, and the ability to draw in defenders to the box so that receivers get man coverage down the field. But I'd also say Jackson is more dynamic, has more size... and turns it over a helluva lot more. Q's best quality is the lack of turnovers for the style of offense USF runs. He's very good at keeping possession, and Jackson isn't there yet. UL could have put up triple digits without the TO's.

Like Jackson, Flowers misses WIDE open throws a lot, and it's frustrating to watch when a receiver is acres behind a defense or quarantined in the flat and the pass bounces yards in front of him. But he also makes more than he misses, and when the pocket breaks down he's got that Jackson-type ability to take off and steal your soul.

Know the Foe: Syracuse (tampabay.com; Knight)

A look at Syracuse, which hosts USF on Saturday at the Carrier Dome

Nickname: Orange
Record: 1-1 (defeated Colgate 33-7 on Sept. 2; lost Friday to Louisville 62-28)
2015 record: 4-8
Coach: Dino Babers (first season, 1-1; fifth season overall, 38-17)
The breakdown: While the jury remains out on the long-term viability of the Orange offense, no one can deny its tempo creates headaches for defensive coordinators and oxygen deprivation for foes not ready for it. Syracuse averaged a play every 22.5 seconds against Colgate, and Babers said afterward it would be the slowest his team plays all year. Following the Louisville loss, that average fell to 20.3 seconds. Sophomore QB Eric Dungey, who had a decent game (232 passing yards, two TDs) against USF in the Bulls' 45-24 victory last season, leads the ACC with 59 completions and has thrown for five TDs. Two of his targets, redshirt senior Amba Etta-Tawo and junior Ervin Phillips, have 20 catches each. Etta-Tawo, a graduate transfer from Maryland, is second nationally with 313 receiving yards. ... Defensively, the Orange's cover-two scheme was exploited at will by Louisville QB Lamar Jackson (610 total yards) last week. Syracuse enters this game ranked 113th nationally in total defense (494.0 ypg)

Odds and ends: Syracuse still owns one of college football's greatest ironies -- the Carrier Dome has no air-conditioning. ... The Orange and Bulls combined rosters feature five Plant High alumni including Orange freshmen Scoop Bradshaw and Rex Culpepper. ... Among Babers' pupils is current New England Patriots starting QB Jimmy Garoppolo, who threw for 84 TDs and nearly 9,000 yards for Babers in only two seasons at Eastern Illinois. ... Orange P Sterling Hofrichter is an Armwood High alumnus. ... Orange WR Steve Ishmael has caught at least one pass in 14 consecutive games.

Syracuse football: Get to know South Florida, the Orange's next opponent (PS; Bailey)

Syracuse football heads into Week 3 at 1-1 after a 62-28 loss to Lamar Jackson and No. 10 Louisville last Friday.

Coming to town Saturday at 3:30 p.m. is South Florida, an American Athletic Conference program that beat the Orange 45-24 in Tampa last season. Led by fourth-year head coach Willie Taggart, the Bulls are 2-0 this year, have averaged 52 points per game and received 12 votes in the coaches poll this week.

Here's what you need to know about USF:

Coach
Willie Taggart (fourth year at South Florida, 56-23; seventh year overall, 32-43)

After back-to-back 7-5 seasons at Western Kentucky, Taggart was hired as USF's head coach before the 2013 season. He recorded his first winning season at the program last year, going 8-5, before losing to, ironically, WKU, in the Miami Beach Bowl.

Most interesting: Taggart and his coaching staff visited Baylor this offseason to observe a practice. Taggart said previously that the experience doesn't give him a competitive advantage against Syracuse (SU head coach Dino Babers is, of course, an Art Briles disciple). While that may seem hard to believe, Babers has emphasized that his hurry-up spread is far from identical to the one that turned around Baylor's program.

Launch of ACC Network means less Syracuse football, basketball games on local TV (PS; Carlson)

I wish Chris had asked about sports other than football and basketball...and whether they would be more forthcoming to release the rights to TW or others for games that are not going to be televised on ACC Network Extra.

This summer's celebrated announcement of a coming ACC Network will be big for Syracuse University's wallet and its non‑revenue teams, but the concept might not be as popular with football and basketball fans in Upstate New York.

In previous years, whenever ESPN has chosen not to broadcast Syracuse games, those opportunities have traditionally been picked up by local television channels, usually Time‑Warner Sports. With the creation of its own network, ESPN will be much less likely to surrender those opportunities to local television stations, instead using those games to drive viewers to its online broadcasts.

No one understands that reality better than Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack, an executive with ESPN until he was hired by SU in July.

"The linear network won't launch until September 2019," Wildhack said. "For 2017 and 2018, if the game isn't on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU it's going to be on ESPN3 or ACC Network Extra. Then, beginning in 2019, that'll be on the ACC Network. Obviously, part of our goal as a conference, and ESPN's goal, is to build as broad a distribution for that network as possible."

This change has already been felt by Syracuse fans.

This year's season‑opener against Colgate marked the first time since 2006 that Syracuse's first game wasn't broadcast on traditional television. It seems almost certain that Saturday's game against South Florida won't be either.

Kevin Harlan does hilarious play-by-play of fan on field at 49ers-Rams game (video) (PS; Axe)

When a fan runs on the field at a sporting event these days, usually the play-by-play announcer just ignores it or mentions it briefly while security tackles the imposter.

Westwood One announcer Kevin Harlan went the other way during the San Francisco 49ers-Los Angeles Rams game on Monday night.

Harlan took the occasion of a fan running on the field to offer spirited play-by-play as security attempted to chase him down.

"Some goofball has run onto the field in a red hat and a red shirt," Harlan called as a fan ran down the field at Levi's Stadium. "Now he takes off the shirt! He's running down the field by the 50! Now he's at the 30! He's bare-chested and banging his chest! Now he runs the opposite way! He runs at the 50, he runs at the 40. The guy is drunk! But there he goes."

You can catch Harlan's full play-by-play of the event below.

Kevin Harlan is a national treasure:

The fan running on the field came with the 49ers holding a 21-0 lead in the fourth quarter.

Referring to the 49ers blowout, Harlan called the moment "the most exciting thing to happen tonight."
