An update on New York's College Team

While everyone is familiar with SU's basketball and lacrosse greatness, hear how Athletic Director Dr. Daryl Gross is extending this success and greatness to all Orange sports teams. SU is currently ranked 16th nationally in the Learfield Cup - http://cts.vresp.com/c/?WhitmanAlumniClubofN/9f7c796596/TEST/53a4ff5dae , a ranking of overall athletic program success.

Is there a proper greeting to give someone you see wearing Orangemen gear namely when you're not in the Syracuse area or at a 'Cuse game? Or is there no greeting?

For instance yesterday when I was at the gym I saw two guys wearing 'Cuse gear but didn't know what the proper greeting was to acknowledge their and express my Orange affiliation, especially if I'm not showing my Orangeness. Saying "Hey, did you go to Syracuse?" sounds like a sad pick up line and "G'Orange!" also seems a bit off. I said "Beat Akron" to a guy wearing an "Otto's Army" t-shirt the week we played them and he just gave me a strange look.

Does anyone have any ideas or has found something that may work well in this situation? Or should I be like most people and just go about my buisness and not worry about it? Can I get a ruling on this?

Here is an article in the NY Times today on the state of Big East Football...

Kenny Nims was the number 1 pick (as expected) at the MLL draft tonight.

Was selected by the Chicago Machine but unfortunately not at the draft so no initial interview etc.  Still on going so we'll see if any of our other guys are selected (Abbott)?

If you want to keep up they are posting video updates every so often here: http://www.laxunited.com/

 It's being held at Steven's in Hoboken... random, strange place...

 Dave Heuschkel wrote an article "Calhoun again shows he's a bad loser" regarding his actions after the infamous 6OT loss they suffered at the shooting of our boys. In part compairing Bob Huggins's after game actions (the handshake) with Boeheim, with Calhouns's, basically saying Huggins was a lot more gracious. He also mentions what type of attitude he is setting as an example to his players.

Needless to say the majority of the commenters don't nesscessarily agree....

I was just wondering if anyone actually managed to get up to go to the Today Show this morning for our "appearance".  Did anyone bother to wake up to see if we were on? I'm guessing there was probably a few less than would have been normally. Did the cheerleaders or Otto even make it? They couldn't have been too energetic after last night.

There are a lot of alumni in the area, we could just show up on another day instead...
