One of the most famous sandwiches in the 20th century is celebrated on July 22nd. We're talking about Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato (BLT) sandwiches. The comfort food one craves every now and then! The idea of honoring this sandwich comes from Rolfe Neil, publisher of The Charlotte Observer. He proposed a BLT Day in 1982, claiming that all our holidays, including New Year's Eve, are too serious and it's essential to have a holiday that is only dedicated to having fun.

Syracuse's QB Room Gets More Interesting With New Face (orangefizz.net; Papillo)
There’s no debating who will be under center for SU’s first matchup of the year on August 31st against Ohio, that will be Ohio State transfer Kyle McCord barring injury. Behind him though, things get a lot more interesting for who will be the second guy called off the bench if needed. Last season, it was Carlos Del Rio-Wilson, who when called upon didn’t give Orange fans any hope for the future. But a new face has entered the room who can compete for that spot. That being, Florida Atlantic transfer Michael Johnson Jr.
Johnson Jr came out of high school in the Class of 2019 as a three-star quarterback recruit according to 247 Sports. He committed to Penn State, but transferred to the FAU Owls in 2020. There, he worked under his father, Johnson Sr, who was the offensive coordinator in pursuit of starting at quarterback. In his sophomore season, Johnson Jr. suffered a torn labrum that would sideline him for months and not allow him to play at signal-caller. He would play some snaps at receiver before transferring to SU this past spring, where his father is now the tight ends coach.
Transferring in, it was assumed that Johnson Jr. would be working out as a receiver, however it appears his sights are still set on getting back behind center. At the ‘Cuse Caravans Event this past Thursday, Johnson Sr. told the media that his son has exclusively worked out as a quarterback this camp, and wants to compete for the backup role.
“He started out at wide receiver because we didn’t know what his shoulder was going to be like,” said Johnson Sr.“His shoulder is healthy now. He’s throwing the ball well. He’s slid back in the quarterback room and that’s what he’s focused on now. We needed backup quarterback depth, it was a good situation here. We knew Kyle was going to be the starter, but he had the opportunity to compete. When you have two years left, you are just looking for an opportunity and somewhere you’re going to get a fair shot. … Coach (Fran) Brown is all about creating depth and competition at every position. The more competition you have, the better everyone gets. We wanted to make sure we brought in someone else so we could get the best out of everybody.”

The Key To SU's Offensive Success (orangefizz.net; Gotkin)
Over the past few years, Syracuse’s offense has been dynamic. Garrett Shrader’s elusiveness gave the Orange the ability to strike from the air, on the ground with a star running back or with QB1 scrambling. That took a lot of the pressure off the receiving corps. This year, with Kyle McCord under center that won’t be the case. He isn’t just not mobile, McCord isn’t even close to a threat to run. Remember, sacks do count as rushing yards in college football, but still, he ended with negative yards last season.
The pressure on the running backs will grow this season. LeQuint Allen, who had a steller freshman year, has to take a massive step up with the loss of a mobile quarterback. But, he was going to have to be a big part of the offensive no matter what. The big key for the ‘Cuse will be whether or not someone steps up as the top receiver. Kyle McCord will be throwing the ball a lot and he needs receivers he can trust. Oronde Gadsden has had injury issues over the past year and can’t be 100% relied on. So, who can step up?
Jackson Meeks and Zeed Haynes, the two Georiga transfers, are the two names that jump off the page. While the wideouts may be coming from one of the top SEC programs, they each caught just one pass last season so neither can be trusted until they prove themselves. Trebor Pena has shown flashes of greatness as a return man but after being held out for most of last season, whether or not he’ll make the jump is still yet to be determined. Whether or not the Orange have a good season could rely almost solely on whether or not McCord has the help that he needs.

The non-conference game that could be a trap for Syracuse football (orangefizz.net; Burstein)
First year head coach Fran Brown received an easy schedule as he begins his helm with Syracuse. The College Football Network has a strength of schedule metric that ranks SU’s schedule as 12th hardest out of the 17 ACC teams.
That spells out opportunity for the Orange, who are searching for their first bowl win since 2018. In conference play, SU avoids top ACC talent like Clemson, Florida State and North Carolina. But a big part of Syracuse getting bowl eligible (and getting a good bowl) will be racking up non-conference wins. A big reason SU made a bowl last year was a 4-0 non-conference record.
Syracuse has matchups with Ohio, Holy Cross, UNLV and UConn for the 2024 season. All are non-power conference opponents and winnable games. But of the four, UNLV has the best chance to be a trap game.
Holy Cross and UConn can be crossed off the list. The Crusaders haven’t beaten SU since 1958 and are an FCS program. UConn meanwhile has struggled in recent history, not registering a winning season since 2010.
Ohio meanwhile will be a good test for the Orange. The team had a solid 2023 campaign, going 10-3 with a win in the Myrtle Beach Bowl against Georgia Southern. But a season opener at the Dome is a hostile environment, and Syracuse hasn’t lost its first game since 2020.
This leads one last non-conference game in UNLV, a team that won nine games in 2023 before losing to #23 Kansas in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.

What the SWAC preseason voting overlooked about Jackson State football (clarionledger.com; Keith)
For the Southwestern Athletic Conference football teams, and its fans coming out of SWAC Media Day on Tuesday. All of the 12 teams are undefeated with the hope of hoisting the 2024 SWAC championship trophy when the season begins Aug. 29.
On Tuesday, the SWAC announced its preseason All-SWAC Teams and put a bull's-eye on the teams picked to win the East and West Divisions based on the voting poll of SWAC head coaches and sports information directors.
Jackson State had five players chosen to the preseason all-conference teams, and the Tigers were selected to finish third in the East Division. What the Tigers need to remember is the games are played on the field and not in polls. The scoreboard is the only thing that matters.
Preseason polls are nothing more than speculation until they are backed up with results on the field.
As ESPN’s Lee Corso would say, “Not so fast, my friend.”
Take a look at the 2023 preseason polling. Five players selected to the first team offense on the preseason All-SWAC team in July didn't make the end-of-season All-SWAC team, and three more made only the second team. The coaches and SIDs picked Southern to win the West; the Jaguars finished third. Prairie View A&M was predicted to finish fifth in the division; the Panthers shared the West's best record (6-2) with Alcorn State.
Heading into the 2024 season, here are three of the prognosticators' predictions that may be proved off target.
A healthy Irv Mulligan could mean huge rushing numbers for Jackson State
Jackson State running back Irv Mulligan was left off the preseason All-SWAC teams. If healthy, look for Mulligan to have a chance to rush for 1,500 yards.
In 2023, Mulligan led the SWAC in rushing with more than 600 yards through six games. He was injured in the seventh game against Alabama State. Mulligan missed the next three games and played only briefly in the last game of the season against Alcorn State. He finished second in the SWAC in rushing with 674 yards and five touchdowns in only eight games.
Jackson State quarterback JaCobian Morgan may emerge as the SWAC's best
Jackson State quarterback JaCobian Morgan was not selected to the preseason team as one of its best two quarterbacks. And here is why Morgan may emerge as the best quarterback in the SWAC.
Morgan, a 2023 transfer from Syracuse, has a chance to be special. After missing the early season in 2023 because of injury, Morgan played in six games, completing 83 of 123 passes for 842 yards with 10 touchdowns and one interception. Morgan is a dual-threat quarterback who had a 107-yard rushing game against Mississippi Valley State.
Jackson State coach T.C. Taylor, believes so much in the talent of Morgan, that he did not recruit Andrew Body, the Texas Southern quarterback who was named to the SWAC preseason second team in 2023 but missed the season because of injury and then entered the transfer portal. Body will play for Alabama State in 2024.

How many ACC teams will make the Playoff? Who benefits from new schedule format? Mailbag (nyimes.com; $; Raynor & Navarro)
ACC media days start today in Charlotte. It’s a perfect time to answer your questions about the 2024 season — and, of course, the drama surrounding Florida State and Clemson.
Let’s get to it.
What needs to happen for FSU and Clemson to fully remain in the ACC? I know the exit fee is prohibitive and therefore keeping them there, so I mean to stay and fully support their place in the ACC. Different money? Fewer schools? Notre Dame? — Glenn B.
It’s all about the money — and I’m not sure there’s much the ACC can do, hence why both schools have taken the league to court. Even with unequal revenue distribution, Clemson and FSU are still set to earn far less than what their counterparts in the SEC and Big Ten will earn. Notre Dame joining the conference would make the ACC an entirely different animal in college football. But the Fighting Irish have made it clear they don’t plan to give up their independence, and given their current situation, why would they?
If Clemson and FSU can’t get out of the ACC, it’s hard to imagine a scenario in which they drop all of their grievances and go back to being happy-to-be-here partners. They’ll need to continue to take advantage of unequal revenue distribution. But the best thing the ACC can do to make them happy is to level up in football. The ACC has historically been a dominant basketball conference, but the money is in football and everyone knows it. Alabama was made stronger by Georgia, which will be pushed by Texas, LSU, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri — the list goes on. With the new round of realignment, the Big Ten would have finished with five of the top 10 teams in the final College Football Playoff rankings a season ago, including the national champion and runner-up in Michigan and Washington. It can’t happen overnight, but FSU and Clemson need the rest of the league to step up. — Raynor
The Pac-12 and the Big 12 both saw their two biggest brands announce their departure on the same day. For the Pac-12, that led to a domino effect that killed the conference, but the Big 12 stabilized. If FSU and Clemson find a way to depart, how does the ACC make sure that they stabilize rather than implode? — Jake T.
That’s really the reason Stanford, Cal and SMU are already in the league. It was a preemptive move to try to stabilize the conference in the event Clemson and Florida State found a way to exit — whether that involved paying their way out, a settlement or the termination of the grant of rights.
There are tentacles, though, to answering this. If the grant of rights goes down in flames, all bets are off. It’s the wild west. If it’s one of the other two scenarios, it would be a problem for the ACC if Florida State and Clemson end up going to the Big 12. That would make the Big 12 a sexier conference (clearly third-best, behind the Big Ten and SEC) when it comes time to negotiate a future TV deal (at which point other teams will definitely look to leave). If FSU and Clemson end up in the SEC or Big Ten, then I’m not sure the ACC necessarily falls behind the Big 12 at the bargaining table as a second-tier conference behind the now-established Power 2.
What’s the ACC’s countermove in that scenario? I could see a 15-member ACC adding another team or three to get to 16 or 18 schools. The most likely candidate to be added, in my opinion: South Florida, a big-market, AAU-accredited school that could become a natural rival for Miami. — Navarro

Conference lawsuits, new teams lead storylines to watch at 2024 ACC Football Kickoff (PS; Carter)
Football season is on the horizon with ACC Football Kickoff beginning Monday.
Coaches and players from 17 teams will participate in the four-day media event through Thursday in Charlotte. Amid the backdrop of Clemson, Florida State and ACC lawsuits, SMU, California and Stanford join the conference to give the league its most members ever.
The new programs will look to compete against conference powerhouses, like the Tigers and Seminoles, and emerging contenders such as Miami and Louisville. Each ACC school looks to make the new 12-team College Football Playoff to end the conference's three-year absence.
Here are five storylines to watch during ACC Football Kickoff:
How will Florida State respond after College Football Playoff snub last year?
The Seminoles dominated last year to win the conference en route to an undefeated regular season. Yet, they became the first unbeaten Power 5 team to miss the College Football Playoff after the selection committee chose a one-loss Alabama over them.
Then, FSU suffered a 63-3 defeat to Georgia in the Orange Bowl. As a result, coach Mike Norvell and his team enter 2024 with a chip on their shoulder to repeat as conference champion for the first time since Clemson in 2019-2020 and to make the CFP for the first time since 2015.
FSU lost key contributors from last year's team, like quarterback Jordan Travis, but replaced him with former Clemson and Oregon State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei. The team also added the No. 7 transfer portal, according to 247Sports.
How will SMU, California and Stanford fare in the ACC?
These three schools not only face new football opponents but have to deal with East Coast travel. Cal and Stanford will travel the most of any schools in the league in 2024 with the Bears accumulating more than 20,000 miles and the Cardinals more than 14,000. SMU will have the sixth-most miles traveled, racking up over 11,000.
On the field, each team will have to overcome unfamiliar teams in bids to win the conference championship. According to ESPN's Football Power Index, SMU has a 9% chance to win the ACC, Cal has a 2.6% chance and Stanford has a less than 1% chance. The Mustangs won 11 games and the AAC championship last year, while Cal and Stanford did not have a winning record.

ACC media days 2024: Legal battles with Florida State, Clemson cast shadow over top storylines to watch (cbssports.com; Patterson)
With 17 schools and a membership that now covers three different time zones, the ACC enters its media days with issues that run far deeper than a depth chart and carry more weight than an offensive line that "got bigger this summer." When commissioner Jim Phillips addresses the media on Day 1 of the ACC Football Kickoff on Monday in Charlotte, he'll be expected to address the future of a conference that's currently engaged in lawsuits with its two premier football powers.
Florida State and Clemson's legal challenges of the ACC's Grant of Rights are a threat to the stability of a league that those two programs have combined to win 12 times in the last 13 seasons. The ACC Football Kickoff will feature the simultaneous messages of how the league stacks up nationally to the rest of the power conferences, but also why the future of the conference is bright even as it faces existential threats from the same schools anchoring its position in the national conversation. Phillips will be asked how he plans to stabilize the conference's position with priority members looking to leave, and while no one is expecting a game-changing announcement or revelation at the commissioner's forum, it will be one of his best chances to give insight into the long-term thinking of the league office.
While the methods and cost of an exit are unknown, it seems clear that Florida State does not wish to be a part of the ACC under its current media rights contract, which runs until 2036. With legal maneuvers that have gone as far as to include the involvement of the state's attorney general, the school itself seems to be using every tool imaginable to establish a new home elsewhere. There may not even be a place to go at the moment, but that might be a bridge that Florida State won't worry about crossing until it has its moment of "freedom."
With Clemson following along, a couple months behind in their own legal battle with the ACC and certainly less publicly passionate about their pursuit of an exit, the conference must consider a future without the two teams that begin the 2024 season as the favorites to win the league.
But that's one thing that will be refreshing about the ACC Football Kickoff. Florida State and Clemson will continue to dominate the conversation, but the event itself will turn the attention away from the court rooms and redirect it to the field. No one expects Mike Norvell and Dabo Swinney to offer insight on look-in clauses or a Grant of Rights document. We do, however, want to hear how former Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has settled in with his new Seminole teammates, whether current Tigers signal-caller Cade Klubnik is set for a step forward win Year 2 with offensive coordinator Garrett Riley, and to continue the discussion comparing the vastly different approaches to the transfer portal used by Norvell and Swinney.
Florida State and Clemson battling for league supremacy is ACC football at its best. And now that we've introduced not only an automatic bid but a first-round bye to the top four conference champions in the College Football Playoff, there are national championship stakes to the conference title race. Leave the conference realignment chaos in the court room, because unlike legal battles, we'll have clear-cut winners and losers when we decide it on the field. Florida State, Clemson and a handful of hopeful contenders are gearing up for fall camp and a 2024 ACC season that will be unlike any in the league's history.

Thom Brennam to call ACC football games for the CW after gay slur - Outsports (outsports.com; Zeigler)
Thom Brennaman will call ACC football games for The CW this season, four years after using a homophobic slur in a hot-mic on-air moment that, until now, had seemed to end his career.
Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reports that Brennaman will be The CW’s “lead voice” for its ACC football broadcasts.
I couldn’t be happier about it.
As just about everyone in the sports world knows, on an August evening in 2020, Brennaman, calling a game for the Cincinnati Reds, made a crack about Kansas City being “one of the f*g capitals of the world.” Aside from Kansas City being anything but, the slur cost him his job with the Reds, as well as his Fox Sports gig calling NFL games.
The reaction by many in the media, and on social media, was merciless. The memes still pop up today, four years later.
To be sure, Brennaman deserved criticism. He deserved a suspension and a very healthy dose of education. There was no defense for him using that word. There wasn’t then and there isn’t now. Brennaman himself agrees.
While everybody in the media makes a mistake at some point in their career, this was a particularly bad one.
Still, as I talked to people like Billy Bean at Major League Baseball, Erik Braverman at the Los Angeles Dodgers, as well as other gay people across the sports world, I heard a common refrain about reaching out to Brennaman, education, talking and working with him.

Can Clemson, FSU, and the ACC Reconcile? (RX; HM)
Can Clemson, FSU, and the ACC Reconcile?
Some harsh words have been said, and quite a lot of money has been spent on legal fees to get to the point we're at now that we've learned that the Big Ten and the SEC are in no hurry to invite Clemson or Florida State - even IF they win their lawsuit against the Atlantic Coast Conference and get out of the Grant of Rights!
With those options no longer on the table, is it even worthwhile for FSU and Clemson to continue the legal fight to exit the ACC, knowing that the best landing spot might be the Big XII? It is worth the money and the effort to leave the ACC? Can they still reconcile?
Is it too late, or can the ACC, FSU, and Clemson all "kiss and make up"? What would that even look like? Let's think about that for a moment...
What would it take to reconcile?
Clemson and Florida State were both looking for 2 things: more revenue, and a better football schedule. The ACC has already done something to address the first issue with its new "success initiative" - basically a multi-million-dollar financial reward for football success. True, the money isn't guaranteed like FSU would like, but I don't think it's realistic to think the rest of the ACC would continue to give them more money if they lose - especially now, after the lawsuit.The ACC has also addressed the football schedule for this season by going to a flex schedule. That means the only annual opponent for Clemson is FSU, and the only other annual game for FSU is Miami. However, while not annual, other good matchups are more frequent under the new model. For example, Clemson vs Miami used to be once every 6 years, but now it's almost every other year (3 times in 7 years). FSU vs VT used to be once every 6 years as well, but not it's twice in 7 years (or about once every 3.5 years). By having only one annual ACC game, Clemson can play other teams (like VT) more often (4 times in 7 years for Clemson vs VT).
How else can the ACC address better football? There's one move the conference should've made a long time ago, in my opinion: unequal scheduling of Notre Dame games. The Irish are 45-9 vs the ACC since 2014, but few teams are represented among the 9 ACC victories. In that time frame, Clemson is 4-2 against Notre Dame. Louisville is 2-2. Miami is 1-1. NC State is 1-2. Duke is 1-3, as are Florida State and Virginia Tech. Pitt won in 2013, but has gone 0-4 since then. Stanford wasn't in the ACC at the time, but did manage to go 4-5 against the Irish since 2014. No other ACC school has beaten Notre Dame since 2014 (some have never beaten them). To be fair, SMU hasn't played them lately.
What's my point? Currently, the ACC schedules each school to play Notre Dame equally. Before expansion, this worked out to approximately once every 3 years, but will drop to once every 3.4 years once all 17 schools join the rotation.

Worst Possible ACC School? (RX; HM)
Worst Possible ACC School?
In part one we looked at what would make the BEST Possible ACC School. Now it's time to make some folks mad, others laugh. Remember, it's all in fun...
What if we took the worst parts of ACC schools?
| The WORST Possible ACC School: | |
| Football* | Wake Forest |
| Basketball | Boston College |
| Academics | Louisville |
| Parties | Georgia Tech |
| X fanbase | Florida State |
| Entitlement | North Carolina |
| Location | Virginia Tech |
| Stadium | Duke |
| Atmosphere | Virginia |
| Traditions | Cal |
FOOTBALL: Wake has had some good seasons in the last 20 years or so, but I picked them because (a) they are, historically, the worst ACC football program, and (b) they have a low ceiling in that sport.
PARTIES: Yellow Jackets study hard, but they know what and how to drink, and there are plenty of beautiful women in Atlanta... they just don't attend GIT.

Best Possible ACC School?
If you could take the best parts of any ACC school and put them together to form the best possible school, which parts would you use? Here are my picks for best possible ACC school parts...
| The BEST Possible ACC School: | |
| Football (recent) | Clemson |
| Basketball (recent) | Duke |
| Academics | Stanford |
| Parties | Syracuse |
| X fanbase | Virginia Tech |
| Fan loyalty* | Georgia Tech |
| Location** | Miami |
| Stadium*** | Pitt |
| Atmosphere | Florida State |
| Traditions | Clemson/FSU |
** The two new California schools give Miami a run for their money, though.
*** Best stadium almost has to be one of the schools that play in an NFL stadium, right? I would also consider Syracuse now that the Dome has air conditioning.

If there's one thing I've learned over my years ACC blogging, it's this: don't trust "projected" revenue numbers! Use the doggone tax forms!!! Thanks to GTFletch for compiling these numbers and posting them on CSNBBS under "P5 media deals shown side by side". Unfortunately, the Big Ten obfuscates their tv revenue by mixing it with other streams, so we'll have to leave them out for now, but here are the other four P5 conferences, by year, from 2010 through 2023:

Finally, the ACC Network (ACCN) was launched in 2019, and the ACC jumped back into 2nd among these conferences (again, no good data for the Big Ten here). ACCN revenue has kept the ACC above the Big XII and, for the most part, the Pac-12 as well. In fact, the TV payouts for the SEC and ACC were only about $4 million apart per school in 2022-23. Will that gap get bigger in the near future? Most likely, but I doubt it will be as bad as folks are predicting based on how inaccurate previous projections have been.

FSU football: Top 10 most important wins in Mike Norvell era (chopchat.com; Hunt)
Syracuse 2021
FSU football blew a big opportunity to upset No. 10 Notre Dame in the 2021 season opener and blew a lead against Jacksonville State to lose on the last play of the game. A blowout loss against Wake Forest and a first-half drubbing against Louisville had FSU staring at a 0-5 start, with Syracuse coming to Tallahassee. It was the week Mike Norvell gave the infamous speech that seemed to change everything, and the Noles got its first win of the 2021 season against the Syracuse Orange.It was the first time Jordan Travis started at QB since earlier in the season, and it was a foreshadowing of what was to come over the next two and a half years. However, the win didn't come without overcoming adversity, as FSU built 10-point leads twice in the game, only to see Syracuse tie the game 30-30 with five minutes remaining. The FSU defense forced a punt on Syracuse's final possession, giving the FSU offense the ball with 47 seconds remaining. Jordan Travis set up Ryan Fitzgerald for a 34-yard field goal to win as time expired. FSU won its next two games and looked like a different team.

Next phase of I-81 work starts next month, to change traffic off I-690 to SU Hill (PS; Knauss)
The state Department of Transportation has awarded a $313.5 million contract to remake part of Interstate 690 and several East Side streets, the fourth of eight contracts in the $2.25 billion Interstate 81 project, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced today.
Work on contract four is expected to start within a month and will significantly change traffic patterns in the University Hill area just east of downtown Syracuse.
It will change the way thousands of people get to work, school, hospital appointments and dome games. The new exit will also open up for development a neighborhood defined by vacant land and parking lots.
Contractor CNY Alliance will build a new exit ramp from I-690 westbound to Crouse Avenue. It will carry traffic headed to Syracuse University, the nearby hospitals and other points on University Hill, the busiest employment sector of the city.
(An exit from 690 eastbound onto nearby Irving Avenue will be constructed later as part of a subsequent contract.)
Crouse Avenue will be widened from two lanes to three, with two northbound lanes and one southbound.
Irving Avenue will also be reconstructed to handle more traffic. The street, which currently ends at East Fayette Street, will be extended north to Erie Boulevard East.
The new 690 interchanges are intended to relieve traffic congestion that currently causes backups on I-81 southbound and northbound at the Harrison/Adams interchanges, DOT officials say.
Other work to be done includes:
-- Two bridges along I-690 will be replaced over Lodi Street and Crouse Avenue.

This 2019 file photo shows a spotted lanternfly at a vineyard in Kutztown, Pa. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)AP
Invasive pest spotted in Finger Lakes, threatens grape and wine industry (PS; Featherstone)
The spotted lanternfly, a destructive pest native to Asia, has been detected in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, raising alarm among vineyard and orchard owners over the potential damage the bug could cause to the state’s most important crops.
“With this new detection, we are certainly concerned as [the lanternfly] is known to feed on plants and crops that are critical to New York’s agricultural economy, such as grapevine, which is abundant in this area of the Finger Lakes,” NYS Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said in a press release.
Lanternflies were found in Romulus, state officials confirmed today. If uncontrolled, the lanternfly could significantly impact New York’s wine and grape industry to the tune of $300 million annually, according to the state Agriculture and Markets Department.
The lanternfly has been spreading to Upstate NY areas after being discovered on Staten Island in 2020. Onondaga County saw its first lanternfly invaders in 2022, in an East Syracuse railyard. Lanternflies are known to spread by hitching rides on vehicles and train cars.
What to do if you see a spotted lanternfly:
State officials are urging grape growers and residents in the Romulus area to report any additional sightings on the Department’s website, and to do the following:
- take a photo,
- collect a sample bug and place it in a freezer or in a jar with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer,
- contact the lanternfly responders and report it on the department website,
- kill any additional lanternflies you see by stepping on them or crushing them.

The top three non-New York destinations for people leaving Onondaga County were in South in the most recent data available from the IRS.
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina; Hillsborough County, Florida; and Wake County, North Carolina topped the list during the 2021-2022 year, the most recent year available from the IRS. The IRS publishes annual statistics on migration using information from tax returns.
Over 200 Onondaga County residents moved to both Mecklenburg (Charlotte) and Hillsborough (Tampa) counties in 2022. Another 140 left for Wake County.
Those are only the top three places outside New York people moved to. When most people leave Onondaga County, they end up somewhere else in New York.
The top overall destination for people leaving Onondaga County in 2022, for example, was Oswego County with more than 1,500 moves.
