Syracuse wins! Syracuse wins!

Saturday was Fan Appreciation Day in the Dome and the 20,000 faithful that braved through this game were treated to something truly rare: a win!

Of course for T3I the true treat is always the words of wisdom from one Greg Robinson. Here's what I learned this week from GRob:

• Greg Robinson has a killer sense of humor, “Good afternoon and I mean that (smiling). I don’t know if I meant it last Saturday." Greg, tell us again about that shopping cart with one bad wheel.

• “It is a terrible feeling to lose a week before a bye. It is a great to win and you can build off of that. It’s great that we have a bye right now because we need a bye. " Greg I give you a big "hear-hear" in your praise of the bye week. These noon starts are killers for us tailgaters.

• "We had a lot of young people out there so we couldn’t get very exotic with what we wanted to do." You know I've been trying to put my finger on what is missing from this team. We're not "exotic" enough.

• "It was a good win – all wins are good wins – but it was a win that I thought was hard fought." All wins are good wins, cliche quota satisfied.

Bring on the bye week.

Moving onto hoops......T3I officially issues an ARINZE WARNING to the rest of the Big East.
