Thursday Reading


The college football season is here, and as a Yankee fan, all I can say is, its about time. Baseball is clearly over. Let's make this quick, as I'll also be posting our Syracuse football season preview shortly.

Donnie Webb wants us all to fill in the blanks on the SU football season. Donnie is good to 'cuse fans, his work is great, so get over there and start fillin'. I got a hold of Greg Robinson's answers to all these blanks and they were all the same phrase - "I don't know."

Starting Safety Randy McKinnon gets by with a little help from a friend and the PS puts up a double shot of audio slide shows.

The Daily Orange says its now or never for the Orange.

The Ups and Downs of the Syracuse defensive backs.

Here's a Big East preview, from a Tampa perspective.

25 things to get excited about in the Big East this year, the Express makes the list.

Turner Gill recruits in Texas, and would have come to SU if Tom Osborne was the coach. I like Turner Gill, personally I think he'd look great wearing Orange and standing on the sideline in the dome next year.

Rutgers fans are already speculating over SU's next coach.....I can't believe I just typed that. Give them credit, they put together a comprehensive list.

The Chicago Sun Times is happy SU won't see the Express until after the game against the Wildcats. I wish seeing a movie was enough to turn around a program. If that was the case, UTEP would have won the NCAA hoops title a couple of years ago.

The Lake Posts wonder if SU is trying to trick Northwestern by not naming a starting running back, or if its just incompetence.

For those that like to make the occasional wager, this blog likes Northwestern on Saturday.

Over the Pylon previews the 'cuse.

In baseball news, the Yankees committed season ending suicide last night.

Speaking of suicide in sports, Shawne Merriman may very well be attempting to end his career, interesting choice there. I guess he can put some 'tussin on it (great headline).

And I'll end this with the social event of the season.
