The Eternal Syracuse Home Game Dilemma (Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician)
We have a lot of fun with the Syracuse City-State references and making jokes about how we don’t get credit when we play in New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut and even Florida because there is an abundance of SU fans in those areas. However, there is a serious question worth considering for Orange fans, especially those who live in CNY and purchase tickets to come watch Syracuse Orange basketball, football and lacrosse games…
‘Noles ‘Coaches’ Show Their Stuff (ESPN)

Miami Wraps Up Spring Practice With Eyes on QB
For the past year, Miami quarterback Ryan Williams has been watching, studying and waiting. Whether that will translate into actually starting for Hurricanes this fall remains unknown. Williams completed 15 of 27 passes for 169 yards on Saturday in Miami’s spring game, where the lone touchdown came on a 5-yard run by Mike James with 4:19 left in the Orange’s 7-6 victory over Green…
