Welcome to National Welsh Rarebit Day!!
It’s National Welsh Rarebit Day! Welsh rarebit is toast with hot cheese poured over it. It is often served as a pub snack.
The origins of this dishes' name are unclear. The Welsh term “rarebit” most probably means “rabbit.” Why would cheesy toast be called rabbit? The title is likely just a playful way to poke fun at the dish and those who eat it—much in the same way that “mock turtle soup” is not actually made from turtle.
Today, Welsh rarebit is a popular dish across Europe and in certain parts of the rest of the world. If you've never had Welsh rarebit before, National Welsh Rarebit Day is a great opportunity to try it for the first time!

SU AD Mark Coyle on Scott Shafer" 'Everyone Wants an Answer Now' (PS; Carlson)
Scott Shafer has one good year under his belt. He has one very bad one. And, as we embark on his third season leading the Syracuse football team, the rush to judge him has begun.
There are those already eager to proclaim Shafer unfit to lead the Syracuse football team. There are those already preaching he needs more time for his recruiting classes to bloom. And then there is Syracuse athletic director Mark Coyle, who has been officially on the job for about six weeks now and who, ultimately, will be charged with deciding which side is right.
For now, Coyle preaches patience, walking a middle road, cautioning against a leap to conclusions and insisting that if we'll all just wait until the year's 12 games are actually played, we'll arrive at a much greater understanding.
"Everyone wants an answer now, right?" Coyle said. "That's how society is. My message to Scott was, 'It's not a sprint. We're going to play 12 games. If we're successful in those 12 games we'll get a 13th game, maybe a 14th.' ... Everyone needs to take a deep breath and start playing the games, and then we'll evaluate from there."
The evaluation of Shafer, through two seasons, has been mixed. Shafer exceeded expectations in his first season, then failed to live up to his own lofty hopes last year when a 3-9 campaign reversed the positive momentum enjoyed by the program for most of the previous five seasons.
Last year's run of injuries and horrific offense sends Syracuse into the pivotal third year of Shafer's head coaching career with low expectations and with the Syracuse head coach listed on the "hot seat" by a variety of national publications.

Sadiq Palmer is a Constant Threat for Red Bank (app.com; Parker)
Playing in the Shore Conference Class B North is no easy task, but it has been nothing but improvement year in and year out for Red Bank head coach Nick Giglio and his Bucs.
After finishing last season at 5-5, the Bucs have their sights set on the NJSIAA playoffs this season.
A push to improve last season’s record and qualify for the playoffs will likely be led by 6-foot-2 senior wide receiver Sadiq Palmer.
Last year, was a breakout year for Palmer. He finished the season with 36 catches for 748 yards, to go along with his seven touchdowns. He is a threat to opponents in many ways. He finished the season with 13 total touchdowns from receiving, interceptions, rushing and kickoff returns.
It’s something that caught the eye of Syracuse University recruiting coordinator and former Monmouth and Marlboro head coach Bobby Acosta, who made an offer to Palmer over the summer.
Palmer was quick to make a non-binding verbal commitment to Syracuse.
“I felt the love from the coaches there right away,” Palmer said. “It felt like I was home there. That’s what I liked most about the visit.”
Although Giglio will be looking for others to step up on the offensive side of the ball besides Palmer, it will be an added bonus to have his star wideout playing without the burden of deciding on where to continue his career next fall.

Preview of Lakewood Football, Who Features SU RB Target Amir Tyler (app.com; Parker)
...
3. LAKEWOOD: Amir Tyler has always been talented, but always a second option in the running attack of the Lakewood High School football team.
Now, with the standout running quarterbacks the Piners have had in the past few years in Tyrice Beverette and Chapelle Cook having moved on to collegiate football, it is Tyler’s turn to be the main option in the Piners’ running attack.
“Him getting the majority of the carries is a recipe for a good season.’’ Lakewood coach L.J. Clark said.
Clark said Tyler rushed for around 800 yards last season while getting about half the attempts Cook, who ran for around 1,200 yards, had.
Tyler, also a standout defensive back is being recruited by NCAA Division I schools at several positions, Clark said.
The University of Pittsburgh and Army are recruiting Tyler as an athlete, Clark said. Old Dominion and Syracuse are recruiting Tyler as a running back and Temple is recruiting him as a safety, Clark said.
“Any time you’ve got a player of Amir’s caliber, who is ranked in the top 15 in New Jersey, you feel you’ve got a lot coming back,’’ Clark said.
Tyler will have an experienced offensive line to run behind. Three starters return up front in Elijah Gill, Isaih Francis and Josh Lezin.
