Then the Orange collapsed. ITLH breaks down how it all went down. This past October Friday the 13th was the opposite of bad luck day for several reasons. My beautiful daughter Kali Esden got married and the Syracuse football squad shocked the world and beat the defending national champion Clemson Tigers. We were in a limo party bus driving back to the hotel, listening to the seconds tick off the clock. The moment long suffering Cuse fans have been waiting for had finally arrived. The Orange is the New Fast had arrived, the world would stand up and take notice, we would no longer be the door mat of the Atlantic Coast Conference, we were going to go from 4-3 to 9-3 destined for the top 25! But then reality sunk in, in the words of Rob Schneider’s character from Waterboy ‘Oh no we suck again’. The Orange rattled off 5 straight losses to finish the season 4-8. ...[/SIZE][/I] [IMG]http://www.statesman.com/rf/image_large/Pub/p8/AJC/Blog/Diehards/2017/12/06/Images/181616_John-Swofford-Jason-Szenes-Getty-Images-DRC_8493_o6urmz.jpg[/IMG] [B][URL]https://www.diehards.com/acc/john-swofford-college-football-playoff-expansion(statesman.com;[/URL] Holcomb)[/B] [I]Fresh off perhaps the hardest decision in the College Football Playoff era – Alabama or Ohio State – the public has been clamoring for the playoff system to expand to eight teams. But ACC commissioner John Swofford said Wednesday that he doesn’t see a change coming anytime soon. “I don’t think it’s imminent at all,” Swofford said. ACC commish John Swofford: “I don’t think it’s imminent at all” that the playoff will expand — Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) [URL='https://twitter.com/DanWolken/status/938492597743636481?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw']December 6, 2017[/URL] The group of fans and media arguing against expansion are using virtually the same points they did to argue against even a 4-team playoff – a bigger playoff would water down the regular season or conference title games. For example, if there were eight playoff teams, the SEC Championship between Georgia and Auburn would have mattered much less because both teams would have probably already known they were guaranteed a spot in the top 8.[/I] ...

The Department of Transportation today released a long-awaited financial study that identifies the DeWitt rail yard as the "only viable site'' for a Central New York inland port. State officials say they are negotiating with CSX to expand the existing DeWitt yard so that 30,000 containers a year can be sent by rail between Central New York and ships at the Port of New York/New Jersey.[/I] ...
