Entrepreneurs-Day.jpg
Welcome to National Entrepreneur's Day!


National Entrepreneur’s Day is an annual event occurring on the third Tuesday of November (November 17) that honors people who have built an empire from absolutely nothing. Radical inventions by brilliant minds have shaped the way we live today, not to mention our future.

The word entrepreneur comes from the French word entreprendre, meaning “undertake.” It first appeared in the French dictionary “Dictionnaire Universel de Commerce,” produced by Jacques des Bruslons and published in 1723. The study of entrepreneurship stems from Irish-French economist Richard Cantillon back in the late 17th and early 18th century. He defined the term entrepreneur in his book “Essay on the Nature of Trade in General” as a person who pays a certain price for a product and resells it at an uncertain price.

Axe: Is Syracuse QB JaCobian Morgan ready for his close up? (PS; $; Axe)

JaCobian Morgan will start at quarterback for the Syracuse University football team on Friday night at Louisville.

The question is if that will be the start of a beautiful relationship for the Orange at its most important position or a temporary placeholder until the 2021 season offers a fresh slate.

Syracuse’s offense ranks 123rd out of 125 teams in the country in total offense, averaging just 263.8 yards per game. It could use all the help it can get right now.

A quarterback who looked like anything but a freshman in Syracuse’s 16-13 loss to Boston College displaying poise and extending plays with mobility sounds like a good elixir.

Columbia's Top-10 Worst Weather Games - Columbia University Athletics (gocolumbialions.com)

At one point, Columbia and Syracuse were major rivals who played each other 15 years in a row (1924-1938).
...
16. Nov. 21, 1931 (Columbia 0, Syracuse 0)
Played in a heavy downpour at Baker Field, Columbia and Syracuse played to a 0-0 tie after the teams combined for 21 punts. Though not able to score, the Lions kept the ball in Syracuse territory for the majority of the game. Due to an injury to Ralph Hewitt, the game marked Cliff Montgomery's first full contest at quarterback for the Lions. As the 1931 season finale, Columbia finished the year with a 7-1-1 overall record.

15. Nov. 28, 1940 (Columbia 0, Brown 0)
In Providence, R.I., Columbia and Brown play to a 0-0 tie before 15,000 fans on a field piled high with ice and snow. A Len Will field goal try was wide and short as Columbia's best scoring chance. The wintery conditions halted both teams' offenses.

14. Nov. 22, 1952 (Columbia 14, Brown 0)
A wet, soggy day saw Columbia force nine Brown fumbles en route to a 14-0 victory at Baker Field. On back-to-back fumble recoveries, Columbia built a 14-0 lead with 10:57 left in the first quarter and the score would stay that way through the game. Columbia recovered five fumbles in the contest. The game was played before both schools joined the Ivy League in 1956.

13. Oct. 22, 2016 (Columbia 9, Dartmouth 7)
First-year placekicker Oren Milstein shakes off wind gusts of 40 miles per hour and intermittent rain and cold as he connects on three field goals to lead Columbia to a 9-7 win over Dartmouth during a key Homecoming contest. Milstein converts field goals of 31, 20, and the game-winner, a 33-yarder in the third quarter. Columbia's defense holds Dartmouth to just 1-17 third down conversions. The victory snaps Columbia's 15-game losing streak in Homecoming Games.

12. Jan. 1, 1934 (Columbia 7, Stanford 0)
In one of the greatest upsets in college football history, Columbia conquers heavily favored Stanford 7-0 in the Rose Bowl game in Pasadena. The game was played on a drenched and muddy field that saw heavy rain. It was Columbia's defense that was the key as it took advantage of a wet field and forced multiple fumbles to end numerous Stanford scoring drives. Behind All-America quarterback Cliff Montgomery, Columbia began moving the ball in the second quarter and after he completed a pass to Tony "Red" Matal for a first down at the Stanford 17-yard line, Columbia Head Coach Lou Little called his special play "KF-79." Montgomery faked a handoff to halfback Ed Brominski, who sprinted to the right with the entire Stanford defense in full pursuit. But the quarterback pulled the ball back and handed it off to his fullback, Ed Barabas, who sped around the left end with no blockers in sight. Barabas raced into the end zone untouched and Newell "Newt" Wilder followed with the extra point for a 7-0 Columbia halftime lead. Columbia's defense rose to the occasion in the second half and stopped Stanford multiple times. With the win, Columbia is crowned the "mythical' national champion of college football.

11. Oct. 19, 1968 (Yale 29, Columbia 7)
When referring to the contest, sportswriters claimed the game was not played at the Yale Bowl, but rather the "Mud" Bowl. The game started well for Columbia as quarterback Marty Domres hit Jim O'Connor for a 40-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, but Yale went on to score 29 unanswered points for the win.

10. Oct. 17, 1903 (Columbia 12, Amherst 0)
In a driving rainstorm on a slippery and wet field, Columbia bested Amherst 12-0 at the Polo Grounds. Columbia scored both of its touchdowns in the first half and played stellar defense in the second half. On the opening kickoff and in the first 10 seconds of play, Amherst fumbled the ball in the end zone where Columbia's Robert Stangland fell on it for a touchdown and 6-0 lead. Columbia's William Duell scored on a line plunge for the second touchdown and 12-0 lead. Amherst was held to just three first downs in the contest.

9. Oct. 25, 2008 (Columbia 21, Dartmouth 13)
Columbia and Dartmouth dealt with driving rain and 30 mile per hour wind as the Lions took a 21-13 decision at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium. Columbia took a 14-7 halftime lead on a 2-yard touchdown run by Ray Rangel and 19-yard pass from quarterback Shane Kelly to Austin Knowlin. After two Dartmouth field goals cut Columbia's lead to 14-13, the Lions put together a nine-play, 81-yard fourth quarter scoring drive engineered by quarterback M.A. Olawale that ended in a 10-yard touchdown run by Olawale. Olawale completed all seven of his pass attempts for 111 yards and ran for 54 yards on eight attempts. Lou Miller registered three sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss and Alex Gross contributed nine tackles on defense. Columbia's offense gained 374 yards and 22 first downs and its defense held Dartmouth 174 total yards and just 11 first downs. The victory marked Columbia's first of the 2008 season.

8. Oct. 1, 1966 (Princeton 14, Columbia 12)
In the second game of the season for both teams, Princeton won a 14-12 close victory over Columbia. A driving rain reduced an expected Palmer Stadium crowd of 30,000 to 2,000 huddling under umbrellas, plus washed out enough yard makers to cause the officials to erroneously give Princeton a first down on a 15-yard penalty when the play began in need of 17. By halftime the field was so muddy, officials refused to let the bands march. A Columbia receiver sneaked his way back onto the field and caught a fourth-down pass, which the officials let stand. Columbia battled back from 14-0 deficit with two long fourth quarter touchdown passes from quarterback Richard Ballantine to Jim O'Connor including a 72-yarder and 80-yarder. The Lions missed both extra points. Ballantine threw for 313 yards on the day after completing nine of 23 passes and O'Connor caught five passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns. The game ended with the ball at Princeton's 20-yard line with Columbia unable to get its placekicker on the field in time. Princeton was limited to two completions in 13 passes on the day.

7. Nov. 3, 1928 (Columbia 0, Cornell 0)
In a heavy rainfall with mud hindering the field, Columbia and Cornell played to a 0-0 tie at Baker Field. According to the Columbia Spectator, the game became a "punting duel" as the teams combined for 25 punts while dealing with Baker Field, which had turned into a "lake of mud." The slippery field hampered both offenses.

6. Nov. 13, 1937 (Columbia 6, Syracuse 6)
Muddy Baker Field hampers both teams as Columbia and Syracuse played to a 6-6 tie. The game was played before 12,000 fans who braved a long rain and fierce wind to watch the teams slog through slime and slush. Columbia's Robert Taylor scored on a running play and Sid Luckman seemingly followed with the extra point conversion, but the point was called off and the Lions only had to settle for six points.

Syracuse's Dino Babers isn't planning major changes in offseason (247sports.com; Bailey)

Syracuse football head coach Dino Babers isn't planning major changes this offseason. Speaking with media during a virtual press conference on Monday, Babers said that he views the 2020 season as one that should have an asterisk given all the variables that have come with playing during the coronavirus pandemic.

Equipped with a roster decimated by injuries and dealt a schedule strengthened by a late revision, Babers is coming off his second bye week with a 1-7 Orange team. SU opened as an 18-point underdog against 2-6 Louisville on Sunday and will surely be multi-score dogs against both North Carolina State and No. 2 Notre Dame in its final two contests of the campaign.

Following a 4-8 season last fall, Babers hired two new coordinators in Sterlin Gilbert and Tony White.

"It's not the same to me," Babers said. "I think there's so many mishaps, injuries. I talked about the Covid situation. The one thing you always want to be is fair. You have to be able to look at things and see if people really had a fair opportunity to show what they can or cannot do. I just think this year is one of those years you put an asterisk by and you move on."

While Syracuse may be fresher heading into the final three contests of the season, injuries have forced inexperienced players into pivotal positions on both sides of the ball. The Orange remains without redshirt junior quarterback Tommy DeVito, its top three running backs and five scholarship offensive linemen, though redshirt junior guard Dakota Davis has worked his way back from an injury, appearing in each of the last two games. SU's two best defensive players, safeties Andre Cisco and Trill Williams, have both opted out after sustaining injuries and are preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Everything Scott Satterfield said ahead of Syracuse game (247sports.com; Demling)

The University of Louisville football team will host Syracuse on Friday night at 7 p.m. in Cardinal Stadium.

The Cardinals have now lost two in a row and are just 2-6 on the season. U of L is an 18-point favorite over the Orange.

U of L coach Scott Satterfield met with the media on Monday. Here's what he had to say:

OPENING STATEMENT

"I want to start off by touching up Javian Hawkins really quick. I know you guys saw that he is opting out and focusing on preparing for the NFL. I wanted to take the time and say that I appreciate Hawkins and everything he has done for us since we have been here. He had a heck of a run here, over 1500 yards last year and this year 830 yards, leading ACC in rushing, a great, great career here in a short period of time. To think about the number of games he has played and the impact that he's been able to have, you wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors. There is no question about that. As we move forward, we should have Hassan Hall back this week. He had a death in the family last week that he attended.

"He is back now when we practice this week, so we will have him, along with (Maurice) Burkley, (Jalen) Mitchell, and Aidan (Robbins). These are the guys who will finish out as running backs for us and hopefully will have good games here as we finish out this season. This week is a short week for us coming off Saturday and having to play on a Friday, it alters your schedule a little bit. We will practice tonight, it will be like a Tuesday practice for us, a little bit more cramming coaching wise. We have been focusing on game planning yesterday throughout the day with everything moved up one day, going back and looking over the Virginia film, obviously the costly turnovers as we talked about in postgame.

Fired West Orange football coach Dee Brown discusses his exit (orlandosentinel.com; Carnahan)

More than a year since descending into a deep depression, Dee Brown is on the rebound.

A Lake Brantley graduate and former NFL running back, Brown said he hit rock bottom last September after losing his job as head football coach at West Orange High School.

That’s when, in a span of seven days, Orange County Public Schools placed him on “relief of duty” with pay for allowing “unauthorized individuals to act as assistant coaches” and then fired him for failing to report a subsequent arrest for possession of an unlicensed firearm.

“I felt my entire world crumble,” said Brown, 42, during one of several interviews with the Orlando Sentinel.

“I had never been in that place mentally. I’ve read about it, but I never thought I’d be in that place. Maybe five years ago it would’ve been hard for me to admit,” he said. “I just wasn’t in a mental place strong enough to talk about it and share what had transpired, but I understand the importance of being able to accept that it was a painful bout of depression. It was debilitating.”

Brown said sleep deprivation, weight loss and anxiety worsened in the months following his separation from West Orange. He described it as “despair, confusion, hurt and emptiness.”

© Associated Press In 1970, nine black Syracuse University football players became rebellious outcasts when they quit the team to protest racial injustices and their unequal treatment. In a 2006 ceremony recognizing the nine former players for their courageous stand against discrimination, former National Football League star Art Monk, left, a 1980 Syracuse alumni, handed them their long-denied letterman jackets.

Before Colin Kaepernick, Syracuse 8 were football protest pioneers (msn.com; Edelson)

The landscape included high-profile athletes protesting racial injustice, overheated rhetoric and push-back from hallowed institutions.

Sound familiar?

While those flashbacks are from a half-century ago, they could easily have been from last summer. Which is why the recent civil rights demonstrations by sports stars resonated with a group of former Black Syracuse football players, dubbed the Syracuse 8, who made a courageous stand against inequality, with troubling parallels to what’s transpiring 50 years later.

“Some of the same issues, some different issues, but every generation in America is going to have to deal with racial injustice and diversity-type issues,” said Dana Harrell, a member of the Syracuse 8.

The Atlantic Coast Conference and its television partners announced today that all football games scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 28, have been placed under a six-day hold. Game times and networks will be updated following the games of Nov. 21.
I guess they needed to wait and see how that Duke/Wake game turns out this weekend before they could decide what to do with Duke/Georgia Tech the following week. Who knew?

The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today a series of rescheduled ACC football games.

Miami’s home game against Georgia Tech on Saturday, November 21 and its game at Wake Forest on Saturday, November 28 will be rescheduled.

Coming off a poor performance, and with a winning season no longer possible, Duke used its open week practices last week to fix foundational issues.

Blue Devils coach David Cutcliffe used the term “rock bottom” following his team’s 56-24 loss to North Carolina on Nov. 7 at Wallace Wade Stadium.

Duke (2-6 overall, 1-6 ACC) looked and played like it had no business being in the same league as the Tar Heels, who scored 21 first-quarter points and built a 42-10 halftime lead.

The Blue Devils lost 20-17 at UNC last year and had beaten the Tar Heels in their three previous meetings. The lack of competitiveness in this year’s game bothered Cutcliffe and it was a point of discussion when the team met last week.

“I addressed some of the things which are just not a part of our program — the way we play, the way we compete,” Cutcliffe said. “Showed enough tape of when we do compete how well we play. So you take that balance. You take the challenge, and we certainly had captains and players challenge teammates.”

Abilene Christian was available, and there’s no reason to be picky about opponents during a pandemic, U.Va. coach says (pilotonline.com; Wood)

Driving through the plains around the turn of the century with his wife riding shotgun during recruiting trips, Bronco Mendenhall became familiar with the small colleges that dotted the West Texas landscape when he was the defensive coordinator at New Mexico.

As bizarre as Abilene Christian may have seemed to some of his players this year at Virginia when the Wildcats became an 11th-hour addition to the schedule, Mendenhall had at least crossed paths with them in his travels. That’s not to say he has much knowledge of the inner workings and football schemes of the Football Championship Subdivision program U.Va. (3-4, 3-4 ACC) will host this weekend.

In truth, U.Va. just needed a non-conference game when Virginia Military Institute postponed its season, and Abilene Christian fit the bill. The primary criteria? It was available and it agreed to the coronavirus protocols of the ACC and U.Va.

There was no time to be choosy about opponents in the midst of a pandemic.

Forde-Yard Dash: Where the Playoff Picture Stands (SI; Forde)

SECOND QUARTER: NINE PATHS TO THE PLAYOFF

The first College Football Playoff rankings arrive Nov. 24. While the increasing percentage of postponed and canceled games makes it hard to know what even that will look like, much less the ones that matter on Dec. 20, the roadmap is coming into sharper focus. There are some important games this week that will add more clarity, but before we get to those let’s examine what are basically nine avenues leading to four playoff spots.

Here they are, in order of most likely to least likely playoff paths:

Southeastern Conference champion (11). Prime candidates: Alabama and Florida, both of which lead their divisions by a game and have a head-to-head victory over the second-place team. In other words, they would have to lose twice not to make the title game—and losing twice is extremely unlikely given their remaining schedules. For purposes of this exercise, let’s tab the No. 1-ranked Crimson Tide as the eventual undefeated SEC champ, which would leave the Gators with two losses and likely on the outside looking in.

Atlantic Coast Conference champion (12). Prime candidates: Notre Dame and Clemson. The Fighting Irish are undefeated and the Tigers’ only loss is to Notre Dame, in double overtime, without star quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The other team with just one loss is Miami, which Clemson routed in early October. Clemson has the easiest route to the ACC title game, going through Florida State, Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech. Notre Dame will play North Carolina, Syracuse and Wake Forest. Miami will play Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and North Carolina. Let’s slot in Clemson as the eventual ACC winner with both the Fighting Irish and Hurricanes finishing with one loss apiece.

Salt City Market vendors offer weekly takeout dinners (DO; Walker)


Loyal and new customers gather on Fridays at the With Love restaurant for takeout meals.

Salt City Market, which plans to open in January, began offering “Takeout Fridays” on Nov. 6 and will continue until Dec. 18. Customers can preorder their takeout online as early as Wednesday and then pick up their food from 5-8 p.m. on Friday. The weekly dinner service aims to improve connections in the Syracuse community, said CJ Butler, marketing and communications specialist for the market.

“People are really sick of takeout at this point in the pandemic,” Butler said. “It’s really exciting to have something that’s just fun. It’s different. There’s that element of surprise of having a different vendor every week.”

Each week, the market allows one of its 10 vendors to offer takeout service. The market, located at 435 N. Salina St., includes a wide variety of cuisines, including Thai, Jamaican and Southern soul food. Some vendors also make pies and cold-pressed juice.
