Welcome to National Blueberry Pancake Day!
It’s National Blueberry Pancake Day! Blueberry pancakes are a wonderful treat to enjoy anytime of the day. They are nutritious enough to eat for breakfast, tasty enough for a mid-day snack, and easy enough to make for dinner.
To make blueberry pancakes, mix up a batch of your favorite plain pancake batter. Wash the blueberries, pat them dry, and keep them in a separate bowl. Once you've poured the batter onto the griddle, drop a few blueberries on top. This will ensure that your blueberries aren’t bruised during the cooking process and will be perfect bursts of flavor when you bite into your pancake.
Make a delicious batch of pancakes, top them with a little blueberry maple syrup, and celebrate National Blueberry Pancake Day!

Syracuse Colgate Game Will be Played Friday September 2nd at 7 PM (PS; Bailey)
Syracuse will host Colgate in its season opener on Friday, Sept. 2 at 7 p.m., SU Athletics announced on Wednesday.
The date fills the last hole on the Orange's 2016 schedule. It also becomes the second Friday night game on the slate, preceding SU's matchup with Louisville on Sept. 9.
Syracuse has won its last 15 games against the Raiders, though Colgate leads the all-time series, 31-30-5. The Raiders last beat SU in 1950.
The Orange won the schools' most recent meeting, 42-7, in 2010.
Moving Syracuse Game From Thanksgiving Weekend Was the Right Move (bcinterruption.com; Favat)
The release of the 2016 Boston College football schedule came with a couple surprises. Most notably, Boston College's season ending rivalry game with the Syracuse Orange has been replaced with a road game at Wake Forest. While I've long been a proponent of formalizing a fixed, season-ending rivalry weekend across the ACC, I've now decided moving this game off the season's final weekend is the best for both halves of the famed #OrangeEagle rivalry.
Here's why:
As BC's closest thing to an annual football rival, a season-ending game against Syracuse was as good as any. The problem is that Boston College and Syracuse's similarities as school's foiled this game's place on the schedule.
This is what happens when you pair two northern, small-ish private schools and ask them to play on Thanksgiving weekend, when a large portion of both school's student bodies and fan bases are home for the holidays. The results at the gate were all too predictable:
2013: 37,917 at Syracuse (360 below Syracuse's home season average)
2014: 30,267 at Boston College (4,003 below BC's home season average)
2015: 30,317 at Syracuse (1,785 below Syracuse's home season average)

From the Archives: Central New Yorkers Cope with the Blizzard of 1966 (photo gallery; PS; Croyle)
Fifty years ago, on Jan. 30, 1966, it began snowing. And when it was over on Feb. 1, more than 42 inches fell on Syracuse, a record that stood until 1993.
Most of the snow fell between 7:30 a.m. on Jan. 30 and 8:45 p.m. on Jan. 31, when itsnowed almost continuously, dumping over 39 inches on the city. Almost as memorable were the winds, gusting to as high as 60 miles an hour, creating snow drifts as high as two-story houses.
These stories, chosen from the Post-Standard and the Herald Journal archives, illustrate how Central New Yorkers coped with this historic storm.
