Settle down, settle down I did not mean to get your Hillary Clinton panties in a bunch, or maybe I did, I am not talking about the group that set America on the path to Greatness again (easy my left wing friends calm down and get a drink with the cast from La La Land to console yourself).

Tom Kaufman leaving Syracuse to be UTC defensive coordinator (timesfreepress.com; Henley)
The first name to pop into Tom Arth's mind when he found out he needed to hire a new defensive coordinator was former teammate Tom Kaufman.
The new University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football coach went through the process of trying to find the right candidate — interviews, meetings, phone calls — but ultimately he followed his first instinct.
Kaufman was introduced as UTC's defensive coordinator Tuesday afternoon. He replaces Brandon Staley, who recently joined the NFL's Chicago Bears as outside linebackers coach.
Kaufman has 14 seasons in the college football ranks, most recently serving as the special teams coordinator and linebackers coach at Syracuse under Dino Babers. He spent five seasons at the Football Bowl Subdivision level, and he's also familiar with the Football Championship Subdivision level, having spent two seasons at Eastern Illinois — both of which ended in the playoffs.
He and Arth played together at John Carroll University, where Arth and Staley coached together until Arth got the UTC job.
"It's a real exciting day for me personally, but also for our football program," Arth said. "When it came down to it, we interviewed a lot of people, talked to a lot of great candidates — very smart, good football coaches.
"To me the most important thing was what makes the man the man? I played alongside him; I know what's inside of him; know what he's about. His competitiveness, toughness, the type of person he is, the example he's going to be for the players in our program. To me that's the most important part of the decision. He has incredible expertise in football, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

Exactly 24 years after Blizzard of '93, CNY prepares for 10 to 15 inches of snow (PS; O'Toole)
Central New Yorkers are preparing for a storm that could drop up to 15 inches of snow on the region over the next three days.
But there's little chance this snowfall will break any records.
That's because exactly 24 years ago -- on March 13 and 14, 1993 -- the biggest blizzard on record began blasting Syracuse with more than 3 1/2 feet of snow.
The Blizzard of '93 still holds the record for the most snow:
- On March 13, 1993, a record-setting 22.1 inches of snow fell in Syracuse, the most ever for that date, according to National Weather Service records.
- Then, on March 14, 1993, another 19.9 inches of snow fell in Syracuse -- once again, the most snow on that date since the weather service began recording weather data in 1902.
