Trevor Cooney vs. Lebron James Lebron wins... That is Trevor pictured in a full page photo in this week's Sports Illustrated, correct?

Brandon Triche wasn't the only SU player with their photo in Sports Illustrated this week, Baye Moussaka Keita got in, too.

USC game Groupon deal I received the email from Groupon today. http://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-at-metlife-stadium-2 Expires Sep 8, 2012 Limit 8 per person. Valid only for option purchased. G-Pass not redeemable with mobile app. Use for admission at MetLife Stadium on 9/8 at 3:30PM. Must show valid ID matching name on Groupon. Must provide first and last name upon purchase, which Groupon will provide to facilitate redemption. Refundable only on day of purchase. Must purchase together to sit together. Discount reflects Ticketmaster's current ticket prices - price may differ on day of event. Football teams are constantly finding new ways to outwit their opponents, from adopting a West Coast offense to hiring a head coach. See which play they call next with this GrouponLive deal to see New York's College Classic—a game between the Syracuse Orange and USC Trojans at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, September 8, at 3:30 p.m. Because the ticket is a G-Pass, Groupon customers can use it to enter the venue directly; they will not need to redeem their Groupon at will call. Gates open one hour before kickoff. Choose between the following options: For $42, you get one G-Pass for lower-level end-zone seating in section 128 (up to an $85.20 value, including fees). For $52, you get one G-Pass for lower-level sideline seating in section 118 (up to a $105.60 value, including fees). Venturing outside their respective home fields of the Carrier Dome and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Syracuse Orange and USC Trojans meet on neutral ground, MetLife Stadium, for a rematch of last year's 38–17 USC victory on the West Coast. The Orange rally behind head coach Doug Marrone, the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints during their ascendant 2006 season. He brings the same offensive knowhow he brought to Drew Brees in '06 to current Syracuse starting QB Ryan Nassib, who last year set the school's single-season records in completions and yards and found the end zone 22 times without even once passing the ball to a golden retriever. On the other side of the line of scrimmage, QB Matt Barkley leads the No. 1–ranked Trojans into battle hoping to secure the Heisman Trophy at year's end. Home to the NFL's New York teams, MetLife Stadium brings the game to life with grandeur unlike anything on either college's home turf. In the corners of the arena, four 30'x118' HD video screens broadcast hard hits and long completions at titanic size, and more than 2,100 HD monitors relay the on-field action throughout the stadium, ensuring fans won't miss a moment of action while grabbing concessions or asking a mascot for fashion tips.

Panoramic view of the Carrier Dome crowd on March 3, 2012. Senior Day vs. Louisville with 33,205 people attending, the 5th largest crowd ever to see basketball in the Dome. Photo was taken from Section 122. Syracuse won 58-49 to capture their 30th win and the regular season Big East Championship.

Does James Southerland moonlight on Showtime's Californication? There is a rapper named Apocalypse on the show that hires Hank Moody to write a script for him. The rapper is actually Wu Tang Clan member RZA, but I think there is a resemblence to JSouth.

Does SNY know something we don't? Fab Melo expected to play Saturday? Came across this while flipping through the Marquette - Seton Hall game tonight.

Uconn wears Nike Elite Platinum uniforms and loses to Notre Dame.  Coincidence?

Six weeks at No. 1 and not a peep about SU in Sports Illustrated...and then I open up the most recent edition to find this.

South Bend is a just a short trip down I-90 from the Syracuse city-state. Make a left on I-90 and stop when you get to South Bend. (albeit 589 miles) Therefore, to the national media, this is a "home" game for 'Cuse.
