Syracuse should be mediocre- not pathetic

By: Sean Quinn

This is hardly what Dr. Daryl Gross had in mind in his first season as Syracuse’s athletic director. He probably expected the losses to the Virginia’s and Florida State’s of college football, but neither he nor anyone predicted the worst season in SU football history.

Heisman Watch 6th Edition

The race for the Heisman race is heating up. Many people are getting on bandwagons and watching closely at these players every move. This is when it really counts and Heisman candidates are really going to have to show their best to convince voters that they should be the ones hoisting the Heisman.

Hook this: USC is No. 1

By: Sean Quinn

We forget to take out the trash.  We forget to pick up the in-laws from the airport.  We forget to bring home dinner.  These are all reasonable slip-ups, (to men anyhow).  Forgetting about USC’s 29-straight wins, though, is something that is not only unreasonable but stupid.

The BCS slipped up like it has for every week of its weak eight-year existence.  That was expected.  Hearing people agree with the latest ratings, in which Texas was ranked ahead of the two-time defending national champions, wasn’t expected.

The Road to March is About to Begin

by Trevor Freeman

Ahhhhh…..it is finally creeping closer.  Midnight Madness.  Rivalry Week.  March.  That’s right…..college basketball season is right around the corner.  From Sporting News to Blue Ribbon, college hoops previews are beginning to flood the coffee tables of houses across a nation.  The terms “Sleeper” and “Diaper Dandy” have begun to invade the everyday vocabulary as hope always springs eternal at the start of each campaign.  This year is particularly big for me as the boys from Fordham University have a legitimate shot at the postseason for the first time in years.

A special day in college football

This past Saturday, college football had one of those days that make us all remember why we love sports. A great Michigan victory over Penn State on a touchdown pass with no time left on the clock was actually over shadowed by the epic USC-Notre Dame instant classic. The two games were played as the entire country switched back and forth between them with their remote controls, their emotions running high on every single play. It was a day to remember.
