Welcome to Be Humble Day!


Humility may be the most difficult of all the virtues to truly attain. There seems to be a paradox in that claiming to have humility may be an act of pride. Some people might be prideful in their humility… or something like that. Either way, Be Humble Day focuses on humbling yourself. There is no boasting allowed on Be Humble Day. Choosing not to brag about your successes and abilities can prove to be much more difficult than one might anticipate, as the culture surrounding us is often centered on self and the successes achieved by an individual. Throughout the ages philosophers and the average Joe alike have pondered humility and what it means to be truly humble. It is a difficult question to answer and the final answer may never fully present itself. But perhaps the seeking of humility is more important than the achieving.

Syracuse Football: 2017 Signee Patrick Davis adds Mean Streak to OL (insidetheloudhouse.com; Carey)

The Syracuse Football team went north of the border for a special signee that should add some beef to the trenches for the Orange.
Continuing on with our player previews for Syracuse’s class of 2017, we head north of the border and break down Patrick Davis. Davis is rated three stars by most recruiting services.

It is hard to see what other schools offered, but Buffalo and North Dakota both displayed an interest . Davis played at Champlain Regional College in Quebec City, Quebec. One advantage of recruiting players from Canada is that they are often older.

You go to high school for 3 years, then attend a prep or boarding school for another two or three years. This means Davis will be a 21-year-old freshman. He will come in much stronger than most college freshman.

Davis has tremendous size, listed at 6-foot-5 and weighs around 300-pounds. This bodes well for Syracuse, as he has the size to compete with the big boys up front in the ACC. Davis is also a very versatile lineman. According to an interview with Co-Offensive Co-ordinator and offensive line coach Mike Lynch, Davis can also play center. Now let’s break down his film:

2017 Syracuse Football Signee Kadeem Trotter Will be Versatile Defender (insidetheloudhouse.com; Carey)

We continue every week to breakdown the Syracuse football 2017 recruits as we progress through the offseason. Next up on the block is Kadeem Trotter.
One of Syracuse’s underrated commits in the class of 2017 is Kadeem Trotter. Trotter, a Canton Ohio Native (hopefully he finishes his career there) is a linebacker/safety.

He comes to Syracuse standing 6-foot 3 inches and weighing close to 200-pounds. This is one of the many guys on the defensive side of the ball for Syracuse that can play multiple positions.


Trotter possesses the quickness of a DB and could grow into his 6-foot-3 frame, allowing him to play linebacker.

The Ohio product also received offers from Boston College, Iowa ST, and interest from Pitt and Michigan State. Kadeem is a unanimous 3-star recruit by all of the recruiting services.

According to this Syracuse.com article: Trotter comes to Syracuse after tearing his MCL on his right knee in his junior year. Then, towards the end of his senior season, Trotter also tore his left ACL. With the technology and medical advancements in today’s society, getting Trotter healthy for his career should not be a problem. We wish him luck as he continues to rehab. Now, lets look at the tape:

PressReader.com - Connecting People Through News (Boston Heraldl Borges)

So who wants to become the next victim of Boston College’s decision to sell out its football and basketball programs for the right to become the ACC’s wellpaid punching bag?

That is the real upshot of the announcement that BC athletic director Brad Bates was resigning to (of course) move on to new and exciting opportunities as vice president of an executive search firm called Collegiate Sports Associates. The forced resignation of Bates comes as no surprise to anyone who has watched BC football and basketball slowly devolve into noncompetitive programs in the ACC. There are masons spending less time in cellars than BC’s football and basketball teams have during Bates’ fiveyear tenure, a situation that has worsened with the passage of time. But the fact is it really isn’t Bates’ fault.

Winning consistently in the ACC against football powerhouses like national champion Clemson, Louisville or Florida State or vs. basketball demons like Duke, North Carolina, Louisville, Notre Dame, FSU and Virginia (who are all currently ranked in the top 21 teams in BC football, hoops way out of their league Time to ACC-ept reality Boston Herald · 21 Feb 2017 · Twitter: @RonBorges 2/22/2017 Time to ACCept reality PressReader.com - Connecting People Through News 2/3 the country) is nigh impossible for the Eagles unless president William Leahy is ready to lower admissions standards to a level where more topquality recruits who might not also be topquality students are admitted. As they say down South, “You can’t cook with cold grease y’all.”

I once asked a former BC coach what it was like to work there and he succinctly described it this way: “They won’t let you lose to a guy named Tyrod Taylor but they won’t let you recruit a guy named Tyrod Taylor, either.’’

His use of Taylor, who of late has been quarterbacking the Buffalo Bills better than most of his teammates play their individual positions, may have been apocryphal but the point was not. The hard truth is some guys who are stars at Clemson or Florida State or most of BC’s ACC opponents are not getting into Boston College. At least not enough of those kind of athlete students (as opposed to the more traditional other way around) are going to be admitted to allow BC to be truly competitive.

Second showing of Onondaga Lake documentary scheduled after initial sellout (PS; Coin)

After a sellout premier, a film about Onondaga Lake will get a second public showing.

"Beneath the Surface: The Storied History of Onondaga Lake," will be screened Tuesday, March 7, at the Palace Theatre in Syracuse. It will start at 7 p.m.

The film was produced by the Onondaga Historical Association and Otto Media.

It "covers the amazing history of the lake and the remarkable impact it has had on our American way of life over the past six centuries," according to a news release. "From the birthplace of Western democracy with the great Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, to a tourist attraction and the center of economic, cultural, and recreational development, Onondaga Lake continues to play a vital role in our community."

The film was first shown in January to a sell-out crowd at the Palace.

Tickets for the March 7 screening are $20. Tickets for a 5 p.m. VIP reception, which includes an open-bar cocktail hour, dinner and VIP seats, are $100.

Tickets are available at the OHA website.
 
LOL - great quote about BC's AD:

"There are masons spending less time in cellars than BC’s football and basketball teams have during Bates’ five year tenure"
