Finally...The College Gameday Piece
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician —
Enjoy. Or should I say...endure. Couple notes... Kudos to those guys who wore the paper bag heads to the Akron game. What mileage they're getting out of that. At 2:10, is that the fan saying "Fire Robinson" or is it Otto? 2:16, before anything even begins, Greg Robinson's gulp tells you everything you need to know. How often do we expect to beat Akron? "I don't know." Outstanding. 3:00...It's Brent Axe, you guys! The sex appeal on this piece just shot up to ...
Syracuse AD Gross fires back at ESPN
Campus Watch Editor —
By Matt Gelb, Syracuse
Syracuse athletic director Daryl Gross probably didn't get to watch ESPN's College Gameday Saturday morning. Of course, thanks to YouTube, Gross was likely able to watch Lee Corso rip him a new one on national television.
So Gross phoned up ESPN.com to let it all out.
"It isn't working out," Gross said of Robinson. "It's very disappointing ... He has some work to do out in front of him."
"Everyone wanted the guy's head last year. I said I didn't want Syracuse to become one of those three-years-and-out ...
The mess is getting bigger
The Orange Squeeze —
It has taken over three football seasons, but finally Syracuse's Athletic Director Dr. Daryl Gross is realizing he backed the wrong guy for head coach. In an interview done with Ivan Maisel of ESPN.com the AD said things that most of the fan base has repeated for months (if not years) now. I guess we can chalk that up to "better late than never". At the bottom of the problem is head coach Greg Robinson, but we have known this for a while now, seems that Dr. Gross is admitting this as well: "It isn't working out," Gross said of Robinson. "It's very disappointing … He ...
Brent Axe on OTL talking about SU football
The Orange Squeeze —
Let's add another piece to "the nation knows how bad Syracuse football is". As I sit at the computer I am listening to a commercial on ESPN, and why is it important? Because once that commercial is over Over The Lines ...
Just In Case You Weren't Aware, We Suck
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician —
Another day, another national news piece proclaiming our suckatude. I haven't actually seen today's Outside The Lines piece yet but as I understand it they basically replayed that GameDay video (which I also saw multiple times during college football halftimes this past weekend) and followed it up with an interview with The Axeman. The Orange Squeeze saw the whole thing and runs down the gist of Axe's appearance: The Axeman hits the "rookie" running back fiasco hard and then answers the question about Lane Kiffin and SU. Ending with the same comment he said ...
Outside The Loins
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician —
If I were making a porno version of Outside The Lines, I feel confident that's the name I'd go for. It's doesn't EXACTLY make sense, as I'm sure you'd much more likely want the see action "inside" the loins, but you get the gist. Plus, it sounds so much classier than something like Rimjobbers Academy 7, so maybe that'll bring in the female demographic. You know, they like the fantasy of it all... ...

If Syracuse plays Akron 1,000 times, how many times do you expect to win?
There's two ways to answer that question. The first one, is the kind we do ...
SU-Akron Recap
The Axeman - Brent Axe —
From a October 2008 ESPN feature on Syracuse Football... ESPN Reporter Mark Schwartz to then SU football head coach Greg Robinson: "As the coach at Syracuse, if you play Akron 1000 times, how many times do you expect to win?" Greg Robinson: "I don't know. I.. that is...we expect to win a lot more than we lose." Same question...
