John Raymon's Long Road to Syracuse (syracuse.com; Mink)

-fb86857891341abf.JPG


John Raymon was a young boy when his mother whipped him with a vacuum cord, broke his teeth and made him sleep outside on trash bags.
The abuse shaped his view of the world. He got in fights and stole. He bounced from home to home and ended up in a facility for troubled kids. It took him months to trust his new family, and even today Raymon said he can't fully trust anyone...

SU Football 2013 Position Preview: Offensive Line (Cassillo)

Last year, Syracuse's veteran-led offensive line was a direct contributor to the team's high-powered offensive attack. With Justin Pugh, Zach Chibane and Macky MacPherson manning the line, the Orange racked up over six yards per play as the Big East's best total offense (in terms of yards per game)...

Scott Shafer and the Era of Good Feelings (Keeley)

Since Scott Shafer took over as the head coach of the Syracuse Orange, you may have noticed a difference in the way the coaching staff presents itself.
Multiple coaches and admins are active on Twitter. Shafer himself even tweets and regularly uses his catchphrase #hardnosed. There's an openness about what this coaching staff is about and what they're trying to do.
That's a stark contract from the Doug Marrone Regime. Marrone became very invested in keeping things close to the chest (or thighs, as it were). He's the founder of The Dreaded Lower/Upper Body Injury report. Marrone refused to talk about what went on behind the scenes with his program and preferred to just let the team's play speak for him...

What Channel is the Syracuse Game On? YES! (Keeley)

YES will televise up to 10 ACC football games and up to 23 men’s ACC basketball games this season.
The benefits of joining the ACC are only beginning to trickle in but we're seeing one of them in the announcement that the YES Network has picked up a whole slew of ACC football and basketball games for the upcoming season and you can bet they're going to be mostly Syracuse Orange games.
As part of the deal, YES will televise up to 10 ACC football games and up to 23 men’s ACC basketball games, as well as select women’s basketball and Olympic sports.

AJ Long Talks About Differences Between Doug Marrone and Scott Shafer (syracuse.com; Axe) This article was extremely disturbing to me. I hope that John's experience makes him a better person while understanding how terrible it was for him living his childhood days with this kind of person. I'm hoping the best for him. I would love to give him a hug and shake his hand. My new favorite person on the team.
