Cam Newton is NEXT

I think Wesley ended one of this songs waxing poetic about Rob Ryan's ability to really whoop it up on a buffet table's ass.

Ugh, I can't stand Bud. Just a grumpy old man. I also remember Bob Matthews being quite the curmudgeon from the Rochester area too (Democrat & Chronicle).

Apologies for the absence — busy being a Dad (which I love, son is now 10+ months and doing well). I do read through the comments a ton though on my phone when I'm headed to bed and when I'm on the subway to/from work. Tough to comment that way. But I love reading everything and do keep up on the site, just…

How about we bring back Bill Sheridan to take over for Coughlin? Didn't he do a bang-up job after Spags left?!

We've got a few months until the NCAA tourney. Remember, the mainstream media wants you to know that Syracuse never leaves New York state and doesn't deserve to be ranked so high, but has a SOS of 15 (before tonight) which doesn't count for anything (though it actually does for the selection committee). Meanwhile,…

Shiv now sponsored by Nike!

I was out all day yesterday so I'm only now sifting through the DUAN threads, but Freeman is correct, this is a very good Syracuse team. I don't agree that any big team will destroy them — they have size underneath w/ Fab Melo who is looking very strong and is a blocking machine. Their length is everywhere on both…

Both excellent quips, Save and Uwe. I laughed out loud.

Great writeup. I'm also very confused why reporting 7/8/9 years ago wasn't worthwhile but is now. Very sad all around.

I could swear The Mick was still patrolling center field at the original Yankee Stadium, no matter where Costas may be calling a game.

Napoleon Dynamite. Not a fan at first; thought it was dumb. Now I love it.

ESPN (up to early 90s). What happened there?

Congrats to you! My wife also didn't have any drugs at all (we used a midwife and doula for our son's birth). She was a real trooper. Sounds like your wife is too. Congrats!

Thanks Freeman — my wife and I got some of those mesh bags on a ring where you can put a small piece of fruit in. We've had mild success with that using frozen blueberries and bananas too. I am just not sure about the drop of whiskey ... I'd like to try but for some reason just feel like I'm a bad parent if I would…

Haha Phin, that's what everyone seems to tell me too. My Mom often told me that about me, maybe that's where I've heard it before.

Thanks — I had a nice laugh this AM reading your comment. Our National Champion UConn Huskies really did have a good run. Even the most bitter Syracuse resident / student would admit that.

Fill it up again, then! We'll have plenty of time to review as the season gets closer.

Thanks a bunch to you both, sincerely. A lot of smart folks around here and I appreciate the help. I think just sort of toughing it out is the best way through in the grand scheme from a parenting perspective. There's gotta be a reason that we can't remember being 6 months old, and getting your baby teeth pushing…

I am very much looking forward to the start of the baskeball season, and I'm sure we'll be discussing in-depth as the year turns over. Though I may not have the stomach for Jardine's hero complex. You know he'll be jacking up threes or throwing it into the crowd at critical moments. Can't wait to see what Rakeem…
