  1. Time Warner here in Syracuse is showing the game on their Time Warner Cable Sports TV channel.
  2. I don't think Brian is a Alumni, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was. 90% of the people who work at espn are Syracuse grads.
  3. We were orig scheduled to play VT but it was dropped for some reason, so SU was stuck with trying to fill a void late when almost all teams had their schedules set. But Colgate is as solid of a FCS team as it gets, won the championship in '03 and they're like 110-50 under their current coach. SU cruised to a 52-6 victory on its way to an undefeated season in '87 the last time we played them... not saying well have a undefeted season again this year (WE WON'T), but it's still a cool fact going into the game.
  4. "We" did. We added another defensive lineman. The Cuse will not get the advantage of pushing around 5 little defensive backs this year. They will have to deal with the 4-3 instead of the easy to run on 3-3-5. Good luck. How's your coverage in the secondary? Much better than previous years, not that it's been hard to get better at different positions... Mike Holmes was moved from safety to corner this year, and actually here, easier to just find a link to our depth chart and it happens to have a good breakdown by Sean over at TNIAAM. He also has a write-up on how many things SU and Akron have in common, some weird stuff lol
  5. First off I'm not here to start any drama, was just reading up on what the opposing teams thoughts were on the game this weekend and thought I'd make a couple "friendly" comments. Your not Georgetown, so I have no hate for ya. Syracuse's defense was #1 in the Big East last year at stopping the run(Held the Zips to 50 total yards in the second half last year, and If I remember correctly, you guys scored one offensive TD last year, the other was on a kickoff), and we're returning 10 of the starters(Art Jones/Ravens). They have more depth on that side of the ball this year, and 2 Butkus Award nominees. There's absolutly no doubt in my mind they will be in the top 5 in many categories this year as well, and not just in the Big East. BUT every team has a sleeper game, I just don't see it being the opening game of the season. As far as you guys being able to stop the run, I can't speak much to that because I don't know what you've added since last season. BUT, hopefully you added something because DCIII(Delone Carter, you guys might know him I think he's from out your way ) went for 170 yards and 3 TD's behind a offensive line that was MUCH weaker than this years. Now with that stuff out of the way... We haven't forgotten the 42-28 win you guys got over us 2 years ago, but the was the G-Rob era so we don't care. But thanks for that because it was a part of him getting fired.
