First nationally televised game is against Wisconsin on 11/29. I've been watching all the games on my phone (less than ideal) using the WatchESPN app. Quite a few of the "lesser" ACC games will not be televised as well.

You talking about people getting hooked on and dying from marijuana? Ever meet a heroin addict? Ever spend some time around a crack head? Even know someone who is so hooked on prescription pain pills, that they steal from family/friends or sell their bodies to get more? Marijuana does not do that to people. There is a difference. Hell, I don't even smoke weed and I still think it's absurd that it's illegal federally and in most states. We will all look back on marijuana prohibition in 20 years, much like we look at women's suffrage now, and realize how stupid we all were.

You're correct that SU shares some of the blame here. They told other 2017 top 25 PG's Brandon Coleman and Isaiah Washington (who said SU was his "dream school") that Quade was their #1 priority. Brandon has since cut Syracuse from his final list, and Washington has committed to Minnesota. It is my understanding, however, that Quade pretty much gave JB his word that he was coming to Syracuse.

http://247sports.com/Player/Eric-Ayala-77110 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AbqeStLyrKM Keep an eye out for this kid. Currently designated as class of 2018, but Syracuse offered today and it is rumored that they're asking him to reclassify to '17. Give credit to JB and crew for acting fast to find QG's replacement. Let's cross our fingers. Current teammate of recent SU commit Sidibe, and also covetet 2017 SG Hamidou Diallo.

If I had a nickle for every time this happened to me...

The great thing is that just about anyone can afford to take their family to a professional football game. The horrible thing is that it's the Browns. They can't give tickets away.

With the early signing period over now, and the conference schedule not too far off, it is time to focus on and enjoy this year's team. I remain confident that this is one of the better Cuse teams in recent history, and I expect a good run once again in the NCAA tourney. If I happen to come across any recruiting tid-bits in the meantime, however, I will pass them along. Cheers, and GO ORANGE!!

I want Sammy Watkins and LeSean McCoy on the field at the same time. Win out baby!!

http://247sports.com/Player/Bourama-Sidibe-86884 '17 PF/C Bourama Sidibe will announce his college decision tonight. Raw talent with tons of potential. Good potential 4 year "developmental" player. Reminiscent of Baye Moussa Keita anyone? Go Cuse!

Don't worry. We'll just have to ride this out until the pendulum swings back to the left in November of 2018. Ahhhh....the flippancy of the populace.

That's the same combination as my luggage!!

Angst? To compete in the top basketball conference in the NCAAs, you need to bring in top tier talent. Quade Green is an elite top 25 recruit. We're likely losing Tyus Battle after this year along with DC2, Roberson, Gillon, Andrew White, and more than likely Tyler Lydon. That leaves us kind of thin for 2017. Quade Green was a very important piece of our '17 recruiting class. All of this coupled with the way PayCal swooped in at the 11th hour, and took away a kid that we have been recruiting very hard for over 2 years. A kid who was known to be a near lock to commit to Syracuse until 2 days ago. This is a big deal for Syracuse basketball fans, and if you're a SU fan and you're not concerned, you should be. We will be just fine for this season, but I'm worried about the next couple years.

Good to know, thanks. I'm loving some Taurean Thompson. Certainly doesn't look like a typical freshman PF/C. He already has a grown man's body, and is only going to get bigger. He'll be a good 3-4 year player for us.

Dallas is "americas team" and they're winning. I can't believe they're not showing the Bills in Syracuse. Unreal.

Fu$&er cleaned house! Even ate all of my Cookie Crisp cereal?!

The game isn't being shown here in Auburn (20 min west of Syracuse) on either network. I am home for a wedding, and was planning on having some friends over for the game. Drats!!

Gee, thanks Dad! This is the best Christmas ever!! Let's toke up and spend some quality time together watching 3 stooges episodes!! I love you...

I hear ya. I barely know how to put gas in the thing. My father "winterizes" it once or twice a year when he visits. I think he checks the regular oil, tops off the drum oil, and adds some type of fuel additive for ethanol even though I use ethanol free fuel. This snow blower is a beast, and has an Ariens engine.

I'll be drinking heavily tonight regardless. I hear his announcement should come out between 9-10 pm. FWIW....from what I have seen (no inside info) Hop has joined GMac with the last 48 hours to make the final push with Quade. I hope he realizes who was recruiting him 2 years ago before anyone even knew who he was. Send PayCal and World Wide Wes home with their suitcases full of money, and their fancy cars. Smh... Anyway, how about the game last night. Good win over a solid MAC team. I hope Thompson is okay.

I bought one of these 2 years ago. Love it. http://m.homedepot.com/p/Sno-Tek-24-in-2-Stage-Electric-Start-Gas-Snow-Blower-920402/202222489?cm_mmc=SEM%7CTHD%7Cgoogle%7C&mid=svrZOaRw4%7Cdm_mtid_890338a25189_pcrid_139636283740_pkw__pmt__product_202222489_slid_&gclid=CJ2b7rmRtNACFcpMDQodIBsNCQ

Preston to Kansas 😞

Bungles - 17 Beeelllllz - 34 Eifert scores twice for Cincinnati, but we win the turnover battle and capitalize. 2 TD's for McCoy...one rushing and one receiving. Bob Woods catches a TD pass. And Seymore in his debut at starting nickle CB intercepts one and takes it in for 6. Carp with 2 field goals.

2017 5 star PF, Billy Preston (Oak Hill) will announce his committment tonight (Fri). Down to Kansas, Syracuse, USC, and Arizona. USC seems to be the favorite at this point, as I believe he is from Los Angeles. You never know though... Keep an eye out on Twitter. I think he is scheduled to announce at around 3:30 EST.

Pooj?
