Welcome to National Fried Scallops Day!
It's National Fried Scallops Day! A scallop is a type of marine mollusk in the Pectindae family. Scallops are typically two to five inches in size and can swim by rapidly opening and closing their shells. The muscle used for this activity is the only part of the animal that we eat.
Scallops are a highly prized seafood delicacy, known for their delectable taste and the variety of ways in which they can be prepared. In Japan, for example, scallops are served in soups or prepared as sushi. In Western cultures, scallops are usually breaded, deep-fried, or sautéed in butter.
To celebrate National Fried Scallop Day, enjoy some delicious fried scallops from your local seafood restaurant. Bon appétit! And props to 'Lil Joe for keeping his word back in the day!

Against Ranked Opponent, Mahoney Outduels SU Predecessors (thejuice; Cheng)
It’s more than fair to say that Syracuse walk-on quarterback Zack Mahoney held his own against No. 8 LSU on Saturday in his first college start. Mahoney completed 16 of 38 passes for 154 yards and three touchdowns to one interception in a 34-24 loss.
But Mahoney’s performance against the Tigers becomes even more impressive when you compare it to his predecessors.
I took a look back at the last 11 seasons of Syracuse quarterbacks in their first starts against ranked opponents, and the results were not pretty.
The sample size is fairly large, with 10 quarterbacks who have taken the field against ranked opponents.
Take a look:

Scott Shafer on Tim Lester, Moral Victories and SU Football Recruiting (TNIAAM; Keeley)
Yesterday we heard from both Tim Lester and Scott Shafer that Ervin Phillips and Eric Dungey were looking better and better to play against the South Florida Bullsnext week. But what else did the Syracuse Orange head coach have to say during the ACC Coaches Teleconference on Wednesday?
On whether or not he thinks the LSU loss was a "moral victory"
We came up short at the end of the day against a great team and arguably the best player in college football right now in Leonard Fournette. We were very disappointed we couldn't come up with a victory. The goal was to get to the fourth quarter and make it a fourth quarter game, which our kids did a good job with.
But to be honest with you, just really disappointed we couldn't figure out a way to win the thing because I think we left a handful of plays on the field that would have given us an opportunity. With regards to everybody that was happy with our effort, hopefully, we can turn those into victories rather than close losses.
On Tim Lester: Quarterbacks Coach
Tim's a great coach. He's an excellent quarterbacks coach, excellent coordinator. He does a great job teaching those kids what risks to take and what risks not to take. How to stay within yourself and manage a game, first and foremost. When there's risk and reward opportunities and how to approach it.
I think he's very systematic. He's very process oriented and doesn't go too far until kids are mastering the techniques and the specific schemes that are our baseline schemes. He just has a method cat way of getting things done and really easy going and happy-go-lucky type personality, which I think fits well with offensive coaches.

Why the Buffalo Bills Could be Responsible for Donald Trump Becoming President (PS; Fairburn)
Donald Trump loves to talk. He's made that much obvious over the course of his career, and he still has a few things to say about theBuffalo Bills.
When the Bills were for sale last summer, Trump, who is now running for president of the United States, was in the thick of the bidding process. He claims he offered $1 billion cash for the franchise that sold to Terry and Kim Pegula for $1.4 billion last September. In an interview that appeared in the print edition of Sports Illustrated last week, Trump said he's happy things worked out the way they did.
"I'm glad, because if I bought the Buffalo Bills, I probably would not be doing what I'm doing now, which is much more important," Trump said.
Becoming president is certainly a more important gig than owning the Bills
"I would have done a good job with the team, but I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now," Trump said. "So you understand. Now, that's today. I'm No. 1 in the polls. Ask me that question in two months; who knows, right?"
Trump is the leading candidate to win the Republican nomination for president. There's still a long way to go in the race, but if you ask Trump, missing out on his chance to own an NFL team is what pushed him to go after something bigger. So depending on your views on Trump, the Bills may deserve some credit — or blame — for his rise in the race.
