It takes place forty-six days before [URL='https://www.checkiday.com/06a39395f3024e22aa1b217419744691/easter']Easter[/URL], and may take place anytime between February 4 and March 10.

The sprinkling of ashes on heads takes place in numerous places in the Bible. Christians continued the tradition as a sign of repentance. Christians in Western Europe were receiving ashes on the first day of Lent by the tenth century, although not yet in the Catholic Church. In 1091, the Catholic Church joined the ritual, after Pope Urban II ordered ashes should be given in Rome. The day soon came to be called Ash Wednesday. Some denominations stopped giving out ashes after the Reformation, sometime around 1600, but still observed Ash Wednesday as the first day of Lent.[/SIZE][/FONT][/I] [B][FONT=verdana][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)][SIZE=7]SU News[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/B] [ATTACH type="full"]225260[/ATTACH] [I][SIZE=3]Photo: CNY Central[/SIZE][/I] [B][URL="https://orangefizz.net/2023/02/syair-torrence-earns-big-rankings-boost/"]Syair Torrence Earns Big Rankings Boost[/URL] (orangefizz.net; Eads)[/B] [I]Syracuse Football is off to a solid start with its 2024 recruiting class.

In any case, the Orange have two commits so far and one of them is perhaps a foundational piece. Local talent Syair Torrence is far and away the top commit in the class right now. Symir Torrence’s little brother is a standout receiver at nearby Christian Brothers Academy. The projected college wideout was previously an unranked recruit but was boosted big time last week. The rising senior shot up from unheralded to a top-500 national recruit at #477. Torrence is also the 78th best pass catching prospect and a top-3 recruit in the state of New York. Torrence committed to Syracuse back in November of 2022 and also holds an offer from Buffalo. The Orange’s other commit is Sam Cooper who pledged recently.

Former Rams linebacker Cam Lynch[/URL] (therams.com; Gehman)[/B] [I]Leading up to the 2015 NFL Draft, Syracuse University's Cam Lynch did some scouting of his own. If the linebacker wasn't chosen, he wanted to be prepared for the possibility of free agency. But what he wasn't prepared for was being in his cell phone's dead zone at a very inopportune time. "I had a whole list of teams that had five to seven linebackers on their roster. So step one was that they had availability when it came to the linebacker room," Lynch said. "And the funny thing that happened right after the draft finished, I was looking at my spreadsheet of the teams that I wanted to go to, and for some reason my service was not working. I don't know if somebody called. Then my agent sent me a message that said, 'The Rams are looking to move forward.' "And then he gave me a call that went through, 'You've got to decide pretty soon here. The Rams want you. It's a great situation there.' Yeah, I had to move forward, and I'm glad their call got through and I ended up a St. Louis Ram."

And from when history caught up with him, as well. "Jo-Lonn Dunbar, his mom actually worked at Syracuse University. And she had a Boston College shirt on. They're not our rivals, but we always had problems with Boston College. Why is she wearing this shirt in our facility? And so we talked about it a little bit," Lynch said. "Fast forward to when I get to the Rams, Jo-Lonn knew I was from Syracuse, and he said, 'Hey, do you know a lady that works there that wore a Boston College shirt? That's my mom,'" Lynch said. "And so it's a very small world because I believe I opened the door for her or something like that. He said, 'My mom remembers you and she told me you treated her well.

Louisville almost certainly would’ve been a win, but that’s a potentially dangerous offensive squad to skip. Clemson Football Schedule What Really Matters Beat Florida State, and get to the week off in mid-October – most likely – 6-0. And then … game on. Clemson only plays back-to-back road games once, and it just so happens to be against Miami and NC State right after that midseason break. Follow that up with Notre Dame, and with North Carolina and the trip to South Carolina to close – with Georgia Tech thrown in there – and there’s no real break over the last six weeks. [/I] [HEADING=2][I]Clemson Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?[/I][/HEADING] [I]Clemson might not be above a clunker somewhere along the way, but Florida State, at Miami, at NC State, Notre Dame, North Carolina, at South Carolina. Any of those game could be where the season takes a hit, and it wouldn’t be shocking if there are two losses among those six. But it’s Clemson. It’s going to expect to go into the final weeks with a shot at the College Football Playoff. With this schedule – helped by just three road games from the opener until the finish – it’s not bad even with those nasty dates to deal with. ...[/I] [B][URL]https://thespun.com/acc/clemson-tigers/dabo-swinney-has-brutally-honest-admission-on-playoff-expansion[/URL] (thespun.com; Rosvoglou)[/B] [I]Back in September, the CFP Board of Managers voted on a 12-team format that'll go into effect in 2024. Apparently, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney isn't a huge fan of that decision. Swinney appeared on Greg McElroy's Always College Football show to discuss the future of the sport. While on McElroy's show, Swinney revealed that he's not a fan of expanding the College Football Playoff because he doesn't think it's "healthy" for players to suit up for 17 games. "You mean to tell me we got to start in July and we’re going to finish later in January? Oh and we just beat Alabama and now we gotta go play Georgia next week? You know, or you beat Ohio State, Alabama and now you gotta go play Georgia? And these are guys that have pro aspirations, and until you’ve been through a season of 15 games at this level, it’s hard to really have that perspective," [URL='https://theclemsoninsider.com/2023/02/20/swinney-on-what-bothers-me-about-the-expansion-of-the-playoff/']Swinney said, via The Clemson Insider[/URL].

[B]Streeter wasn't ready for this level; Riley is a nice upgrade. - Hokie Mark[/B][/I] [HEADING=2][I]Louisville[/I][/HEADING] [I]Louisville fans... were openly wondering late in 2021 if [former Head Coach Scott Satterfield] should be fired. One year later, they got their wish and it didn’t cost the school a dime. Satterfield instead left for Cincinnati and Louisville hired their favorite son, former Louisville quarterback Jeff Brohm. Ask even the most cynical Cardinals fan and they’ll tell you this is an upgrade – and at a darn good discount. Brohm isn’t just a Louisville man, he’s an incredibly successful coach. Brohm led Purdue to a Big Ten Championship appearance last season... No team in this hiring cycle received a better deal and a bigger upgrade, and also expertly play fan service, than Louisville... [B]Hands down the best 2023 Coaching Carousel ride of any college football team! - Hokie Mark[/B][/I] [HEADING=2][I]Miami[/I][/HEADING] [I]Is it possible for both Alabama to upgrade its staff and Miami also improve by losing its coordinator (Kevin Steele) to the Tide? Yup. Miami couldn’t help but trip over itself on defense last season, allowing five games of 40 points or more, including an embarrassing 45-31 loss at home to Middle Tennessee. The performances harkened back to Steele’s failed tenure at Clemson, and it was obvious near the end of the season this Miami marriage seemed more like a quick fling... Mario Cristobal hired Marshall defensive coordinator Lance Guidry... who also helped lead a top-10 scoring defense in south Florida at FAU, led Marshall to a top-20 finish in 15 defensive categories, including 11 in the top 10, last season. The Thundering Herd was No. 8 in total defense, No. 2 in stop rate, No. 1 in third-down defense and No. 6 in scoring. Wherever Guidry goes, defenses improve. [B]This new DC may be more to the Hurricanes' liking - Hokie Mark[/B][/I] [HEADING=2][I]NC State[/I][/HEADING] [I]It’s difficult losing a veteran and record-breaking quarterback, and it seems worse when your offensive coordinator also leaves. Still, might it be possible that NC State is better in 2023 than it was in 2022 without quarterback Devin Leary and coordinator Tim Beck? ...Syracuse offensive coordinator Robert Anae is now on board after improving the Orange’s passers significantly in just one season, and after previously coaching for Bronco Mendenhall at BYU and Virginia, what he installs and calls at NC State will be fascinating to watch. Even better is he reunites with quarterback Brennan Armstrong, who he helped coach to a 4,000-yard passing season at Virginia in 2021. Can the former Cavaliers duo lead a resurgence for the Wolfpack, who ranked in the triple digits nationally in yards per play and 99th in scoring (21.8 points per game) last season? Absolutely. [B]Will the Wolfpack offense return to the pass-happy days of Phillip Rivers? It'll be interesting to watch - Hokie Mark[/B][/I] [HEADING=2][I]LOSERS[/I][/HEADING] [HEADING=2][I]Notre Dame[/I][/HEADING] [I]...Notre Dame alum [and former Offensive Coordinator] Tommy Rees left for Alabama... [replaced by a] coach already on his staff. [ND Head Coach Marcus] Freeman ended up promoting tight ends coach Gerad Parker to offensive coordinator. Veteran offensive line coach Harry Heistand, who spent 38 years in the sport, also retired after just one year on Freeman’s staff. [B]The Irish made what appeared to be the right moves last year, but 2023 is starting out on shakey ground - Hokie Mark[/B][/I] [HEADING=2][I]Syracuse[/I][/HEADING] [I]...The Orange didn’t capitalize on a 6-0 start to the season, lost six of their last seven games and assistant coaches looked elsewhere for gigs with pressure mounting heading into [Head Coach Dino] Babers’ eighth season. Babers replaced six assistant coaches, including one-half of the Virginia tandem that turned around the offense in 2022. Offensive coordinator Robert Anae, who coordinated Virginia’s explosive attack previously under Bronco Mendenhall, bolted for conference mate NC State. Defensive coordinator Tony White left for a fresh start at Nebraska. Quarterbacks coach Jason Beck, the other half of the aforementioned Virginia tandem, was elevated to OC after upgrading the passing game from 108th to 45 nationally in efficiency... credit Babers for hiring a veteran like Rocky Long, 73, who pioneered the 3-3-5 [defensive] scheme... But is hiring Long more likely a sign of Babers’ job insecurity? [B]Babers won't get another 8 seasons to prove himself unless he wins more than 7 games this year, so Long's age and long-term prospects became secondary very quickly - Hokie Mark[/B][/I] [B][I]...[/I] [URL="https://accfootballrx.blogspot.com/2023/02/tv-ratings-2013-21.html"]TV Ratings, 2013-21[/URL] (RX; HM)[/B] [HEADING=2][I]TV Ratings, 2013-21[/I][/HEADING] [I]Let's revisit a 2022 article today to see what we can squeeze out of it...
