Been a Syracuse fan ever since my cousin took me to the Dome when I was an 8-year-old pup. I was hooked then and never looked back.
Would have made a full-fledged post out of this, but there's nothing to say that I haven't said already or isn't said in the article itself. On the flipside, this one has a video. Feel free to waste 17 minutes watching. In fact, I will accept nothing less.
Former Syracuse star 6th Man named to the NBA All-Rookie team.
Finally, a blog entry by Eamonn Brennan that isn't total garbage.
CJ took home Hoopsmanifesto's Dunk of the Year title for his poster of Otto Porter. Of all the entries, Crushtastic Jam-Meister Fair's dunk might not have been the most spectacular, but it was the most meaningful and impactful when the full context was taken into account. Congrats CJ, and may there be many more posters in your college future.
Was wasting the last 20 minutes of my work work when I came across this.
The NCAA has announced rule changes for the upcoming season, some of which Syracuse fans will wish were implemented a season earlier.
Found this gem on YouTube. It's a little long, but worth every second of lost productivity.
Former Orange player Carmelo Anthony comes in 3rd in regular season MVP voting.
Crustastic Jam-Meister Fair has made the semi-finals of Hoop Manifesto's Dunk of the Year voting. Cast your vote to make sure he advances. FWIW, CJ again won the last round by the largest margin (68% to 32%). His opponent this round won by a single vote.
I got an e-mail from one of my favorite wacky t-shirt websites and, lo and behold, they have an Orangemen shirt. And, for the next 14 hours or so, regular price shirts are 4 for $44. Get one for your lady. Get one for you mom. Get one one for your best SU buddy (just not your kids. Kids shirts don't count towards the promotion).
Syracuse University athletes are nothing if not creative.
The next "award" is given for the Worst Moment of the 2012-13 season.
6'1" freshman out of South Carolina. Must haz for class of 2017
CJ has made the quarterfinals of Hoops Manifesto's Dunk of the Year contest. This round, he goes up against Anthony "Nemo" Goode, of something called Virginia Intermont.
The next award will be given to the Best Syracuse Freshman.
Stolen from @NunesMagician Twitter account. Funny and surprisingly accurate. I'll spare you the suspense, Syracuse is the Wildlings from the far North (har, har). Anyone who's read the books knows that it's pretty much inevitable that the Wildlings will eventually overrun Westeros. Does this mean Syracuse will overrun the ACC?
I saw this at the top of one of the posts. Someone get SB Nation on the horn. It's totally unacceptable for this trash to appear on TNIAAM.
It is what is says it is. One man's opinion on the draft prospects of the soon to be former Orange.
CJ's dunk on Otto Porter Poster is a Dunk of the Year nominee at HoopsManifesto. Go help CJ get the W.

This is allegedly a list of the top 10 dunks of the college basketball season, yet CJ Fair making Otto Porter his bitch is not among them. Erroneous!
Was is a block? Was it a charge? Should the call have even been made? Let's clear the air.
The Syracuse Orange have punched their ticket to Atlanta. Are we satisfied with that?
What's the over/under on how many times '87 is mentioned. Like 9 gajillion? The analysis isn't bad, though. Especially the part where Greenberg says SU beat Indiana 26 years ago.
Not that we'd expect anything less. In his NCAA preview, he references the Jim Boeheim retirement rumors that were put to bed by the man himself, what, a week ago? Give it a rest, Pat. You're still s D-bag and you're 'Cats aren't even in the field.
For anyone interested in a little friendly competition, I created a Tourney Challenge group on ESPN for TNIAAM. The link is above. The password is: georgetownsucks. I know that we tend to dislike the Worldwide Leader around these parts and if you want to boycott, that's cool. Otherwise, see you there. One note, there's a limit of one entry per person, so bring your best bracket to the dance.
It's not whether Triche decides to show up for a big game, if MCW can take care of the rock or if Southerland can keep up his hot shooting. Believe it or not, my main concern is with C.J. Fair. I...
