Welcome to National S'Mores Day!

It’s National S’mores Day! S'mores are a delicious treat made from three simple ingredients—graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and melted chocolate bars. Yum!

The first official s'mores recipe was published in the Girl Scout Handbook in 1927, but culinary historians believe that the tradition began much earlier. Over the years, the recipe was passed from camper to camper and eventually became the most famous fireside dessert. Ever wondered why it is called a s’more? Because you’ll always want "some more" of this decadent sweet!

Today, grab a few friends, make a campfire, and have some s’mores. No bonfire? No problem! You can toast marshmallows in a toaster oven or a microwave. Happy National S'mores Day!

It is All Business for SU Football in 2015 (thejuice; Stechschulte)

What a difference a year makes.

At last season’s media day, the Syracuse football team was coming off its second consecutive bowl win, a thrilling victory over Minnesota in the Texas Bowl. Bowl eligibility had not even been claimed until the final six seconds of the season finale against Boston College, so the two games created an air of excitement around the team.

Hopes were high that the Orange program would continue building off that success. Head coach Scott Shafer wanted to add one more win the previous season’s total, claiming the team’s goal was eight victories. Quarterback Terrel Hunt had greater aspirations, telling the assembled scribes that he wanted ten wins.

And hopes for those marks were dashed very, very quickly. The team was buried under an avalanche of injuries, poor play, and losses.

This time around, the football program’s day to meet the local media was a much more business-like affair.

Shafer made a brief opening statement about the coming season, then answered questions for about 20 minutes. Like on ACC Media Day, Hunt represented the players along with linebacker Zaire Franklin. Each answered queries for about seven minutes and a bow was put on the affair.

Flashback 1992 Syracuse Football (cnycentral.com; Malnoske)

It's time to dust off the archives once again. This time, we flashback to 1992 in a solid year for Syracuse Orange football. Syracuse, which finished the year (10-2) and with a Fiesta Bowl win over Colorado, lost their final regular season home game to then #1 ranked Miami 16-10.

In this clip, take a look back at the official 1992 Syracuse media guide. Several classic images and pages that truly are a blast from the past.

Sheldon Jeter Big Time Recruit with SU Offer (sportstown.post-gazette.com; Everett)

Donovan Jeter's older brother, Sheldon, plays basketball at Pitt, but it's in football where the younger Jeter's future lies.

Jeter is a 6-foot-5, 275-pound defensive end-tight end at Beaver Falls. The junior is the latest star in a long line of gifted athletes with that surname from Beaver County. Only halfway through his high school career, Jeter already has 11 Division I offers, including Pitt, Penn State and Ohio State.

As a sophomore, Jeter finished with 87 tackles and eight sacks. He also caught eight passes for 161 yards and three touchdowns.

Colleges took notice. Pitt was the first to offer Jeter in late January. Since then, he has picked up offers from Penn State, Ohio State, West Virginia, Michigan State, Nebraska, Tennessee, Maryland, Syracuse, Temple and Toledo.

"I knew once we put out his sophomore highlight tape and he started going to some camps, it was going to be headed in this direction," Beaver Falls coachRyan Matsook said of Jeter's recruitment.

Jeter is regarded as one of the top players in the state and even the country. Rivals ranks him as the No. 7 junior in Pennsylvania, No. 6 strongside defensive end in the country, and No. 184 player overall in the country.

Jeter said he has no favorites as of yet, stating that helping Beaver Falls win a WPIAL Class AA championship this fall is his primary focus. The Tigers went 7-3 last season.

A dominant post presence, Jeter is also a standout basketball player. He averaged 17.5 points per game and led the Tigers to the WPIAL Class AAA final last season.

With Two Weeks Until Completion, Take a Look Inside the Lakeview Amphitheater (PS; Baker)

In less than a month, the general public will get its first chance to view the new Lakeview Amphitheater on Onondaga Lake.

The amphitheater opens Sept. 3 with a concert by country singer Miranda Lambert. On Friday, Aug. 7, Chuck Brooks of C&S Companies and Deputy County Executive Martin Skahen took a Syracuse.com reporter and photographer on a tour.

The amphitheater is scheduled to be completed on Monday, Aug. 24. Yet-to-be-completed work includes finishing touches like installing railings, hanging drywall and affixing windows.

Here are a few takeaways from the tour of the $49.5 million amphitheater:

• The pavilion seats just more than 5,000 people and includes seating for wheelchairs and handicapped patrons. The lawn seats 12,500.
  
  There is an event space with a deck overlooking the lake behind the amphitheater stage that will hold 200 people for private events. It will be available to rent just like other County Parks facilities are.
  
• The pavilion is outfitted with a neutral host system from Verizon, which amplifies cellular signals.
  
• The bike trail around the lake cuts directly through the amphitheater. During concerts, bikers will be re-routed to the venue's main gate. Anyone who would like to bike or walk to the show can take the path right to the box office.
  
• The top of the pavilion is built to accommodate three jumbo screens facing the lawn and two screens adjacent to the stage.

With media day in the books, the focus now turns to the on-field play as Syracuse enters a season filled with hope, but uncertainty. One position that has seen a lot of turnover from the roster last season is in the defensive secondary. CuseConfidential.com takes a look at the breakdown of the position and what the corps could look like heading into the season opener.

Gone from the 2014 roster are starters Brandon Reddish, Durrell Eskridge, and Ritchy Desir and Darius Kelly, who split the season going back and forth as the starting strong safety. That is a lot of experience that the Syracuse staff has to replace, but luckily, there is a lot of talent waiting on the depth chart for their opportunity to prove themselves. According to the 2015 pre-season depth chart, the only position that will not be up for grabs this fall is strong safety. The other three have at least two players battling head to head for the opportunity to start opening week. This makes the defensive secondary one of the more interesting positions to pay attention to as camp progresses.

• Julian Whigham (CB, 6-foot-1, 187, Sr.): Whigham is the only returning starter in the defensive secondary for the Orange but even his spot is not certain. During his sophomore year, Whigham appeared as if he was on his way to being a bonafide star until a freak accident during the Florida State game almost ended his career. In his junior year, he never was able to regain his form and was often exposed for large gains. Now, a senior, Whigham is looking for a little redemption and to get back to his sophomore form. Syracuse needs him to be great if they want to get back to a bowl game this season.

• Wayne Morgan (CB, 5-foot-11, 187, Jr.): Morgan came to Syracuse with a lot of hype, carrying with him the nickname of "lights out". Due to injuries and players who have outperformed him, he has never really lived up to his billing. Now, as a player slated as a possible starter this season, Syracuse will look for Wayne to be the shutdown back the staff, and Morgan, knows he can be.

• Antwan Cordy (SS, 5-foot-8, 178, So.): Cordy played himself onto the field last season as a true freshman and he played very well. A year later and he is the first player listed on the depth chart at strong safety. Although only 5-foot-8, Cordy plays much bigger and covers a lot of area in the secondary. If he can continue to improve from last year which is expected, he could become a fixture at the position for the next three years and help solidify the Orange secondary.

• Chauncy Scissum (FS, 6-foot-2, 206, So.): An athlete out of Rush Henrietta in New York, Scissum has himself primed to be the starting free safety during week 1. He does have competition however and will most likely split time with Rodney Williams this season. The battle for the starting free safety could be one of the most interesting this fall for pre-season camp.

• Rodney Williams (FS, 5-foot-10, 189, R-Fr.): Williams had a strong fall last season earning praise from Coach Shafer and the rest of the staff. He played very well during the season until an injury forced him to end the season early. He is slated as "1a" right now on the free safety depth chart along with the aforementioned Scissum. Regardless of who starts the game, Williams and Scissum will see significant time in the secondary.

• Kielan Whitner (5-foot-10, 185, Fr.): Whitner, who is a true freshman, was listed behind Antwan Cordy on the depth chart at strong safety. Whitner is a weight room freak who can fly around the field covering a lot of ground and finish a tackle with a big blow. He will most likely see time this fall, one of a handful of true freshman that could see action for the Orange.

• Cordell Hudson (5-foot-11, 175, R-Fr.) Hudson is listed on the depth chart alongside Julian Whigham as another "1a" making the position another to keep an eye on during pre-season camp. Either way it plays out, he will most certainly play himself into substantial minutes this season. He is part of an impressive youth movement for the Syracuse secondary that could be the cornerstone for the defense for the next few seasons.

• Corey Winfield (6-foot-1, 181, So.): The wide receiver turned defensive back is fighting for a starting role this fall. The move by the staff to put him in the secondary seemed like a head scratcher at first, but now it seems like a genius move as Winfield was impressive during the spring. He is now fighting with Wayne Morgan for a starting position and at 6-foot-1 could help matchup better with taller receivers.
