Hawk Triche Takes You Into The Weekend
Ca-Caw!
Enjoy the weekend. Brandon "Hawk" Triche will watch over you from above, when he's not feasting on field mice.
Swing back tomorrow for the GameThread and to leave you comments. Or swing the ol'Twitterbox and join the festivities. God willing, when we meet again on Monday no further suspensions or quitters or losses to Division II teams will befall us. No promises.

Daily Links - Hat Tip To LeMoyne
It amounted to "only" a 40-minute moment, but it'll last forever for the Le Moyne Dolphins | Bud Poliquin -
The Dolphins hacked at the beanstalk and brought down the Orange giant, 82-79. And though it was only an exhibition affair that will never mean anything in anybody’s record book, the remarkable triumph will be Le Moyne’s to forever embrace.

Now that baseball season is finally over and football players are dropping like flies, we look towards an intriguing basketball season.
Ultimate Rankings Countdown: Top 50 - Mid-Major Madness
Syracuse comes in at #42. "Inspect the Orange's roster a little more closely, and it's easy to see the reasons for Boeheim's optimism. Throw in that Syracuse is led by a Hall of Fame coach, and it's not farfetched to think that Boeheim's squad could compete for a Big East title in what's being regarded as a down year for the conference."
Another top ten draft pick - Cuse Country
Clearly attempting to emulate the experience of his boy Jonny Flynn in the NBA Draft this spring, Paul Harris was drafted #8 overall in the NBA Development League draft tonight. Paul becomes the first player ever drafted by the expansion Maine Red Claws.
Orange Fizz: Syracuse Orange Sports Blog, Recruiting and Podcasts.
The Fizz never wishes any ill will toward current and former Orange. But there is an undoubted pinch of "told ya so" in the stories of Paul Harris and Eric Devendorf.
Orangecast: Football Edition - Previewing Pittsburgh | Orange Football Blog - syracuse.com
Sportswriter Dave Rahme notes that Syracuse University has the best run defense in the Big East, but adds that the Orange will need every ounce of grit to defeat the well-rested Pitt at home, especially with the loss of five key players.
As it turns out, the Orange's Doug Marrone has been, so far, as much seer as he's been coach | Bud Poliquin -
Though disinclined to muck about in self-indulgence, Doug Marrone might confess that he saw much of this upheaval, much of this turmoil, coming.
What Terrible Football Organization Will You Be Protesting This Weekend? - Washington Redskins - Deadspin

Finally, The Important Information About Syracuse Basketball
The members of the 2009-2010 basketball team were faced with some extremely difficult questions as part of the season preview. Here are their honest and open-hearted answers (with snarky commentary).
Who twitters the most?
Answers were all over the place for this one. Scoop, KrisJo, Wes and even Coach Murphy were thrown up for considering. As someone who follows each of them, I can say that the correct answer is...Kris Joseph. Whereas Scoop, Wes and the others tweet in short bursts, KrisJo is a constant on my feed. That sounds weird.
Who’s the best/worst at NBA video games?
Rautins: I don’t even play video games. I hear Mookie talking about it a lot. I wanna say Reesie will be pretty bad at it.
Reese: I don’t play, so I don’t know.
Well, at least they're in agreement.
What’s the gadget you’d love to buy but can’t afford?
Rautins: I want one of those oxygen chambers. You suck on them and you’re in phenomenal shape.
Andy, I don't think that's an oxygen chamber you're thinking of. And I don't think I want to know...
What reality show would you win?
Jones: I Love Money on Vh1
Triche: I love money on Vh1
Your parents would be so proud.
Who’s the most underrated NBA player?
Reese: Jonny Flynn, Minnesota Timberwolves
The only guy to answer correctly.
What’s your dream place to live?
Jardine: Santa Monica, Calif.
Jones: L.A.
Southerland: I don’t know if it gets any better than New York City, but I’ll say California.
Guys...I have a couch. Whoever wants it...
What’s your favorite class?
Riley: I’m not taking math now, but it’s my favorite subject.
Natch.
What fictional character do you most resemble?
Jackson: I don’t know. (Good idea)
Jardine: Mickey Mouse (What?)
Johnson: Wolverine (What?)
Jones: Batman (What?)
Joseph: Wolverine. (What?)
Onuaku: Optimus Prime (WHAT?)
Rautins: Derek Zoolander (We've seen the pink shirt, Andy. We know.)
Reese: The Flash (What?)
Riley: Goofy (What?)
Southerland: My dad would say Patrick Star from Spongebob because I’m a goof-ball. (What?)
Triche: Hawk (Who? Just Hawk? Hudson Hawk? Which Hawk?)

"Eight hundred wins...That’s pretty much self-explanatory, isn’t it? I mean, I could sit here and use every adjective in the book, but doesn’t the number ‘800’ say it all? If you coached 800 games, that would be a tremendous career. But Coach Boeheim has won 800 games. That’s staggering. And you know what? Don’t be surprised if he gets to 900." - Mike Hopkins

Syracuse 2009-2010 Basketball Preview Overload
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!
The D.O. and Post-Standard both have their basketball previews out and it's...a lot. I'm just gonna link out everything below and then we can meet somewhere afterwards to discuss. Get comfortable...
Arinze Onuaku hopes for healthy knees, strong season...Mike Waters
Meet forward Wesley Johnson, a newcomer with experience and skill...Mike Waters
Tough defender Rick Jackson promises an even stronger version...Mike Waters
Is Wes Johnson the best transfer in college basketball?...Donna Ditota
For Better or Worse: Stars Are Awfully Hard to Replace...Mike Waters
For Better or Worse: Sharing the Ball is Always Better...Donna Ditota
As Mike Hopkins believes he sits at the feet of a master, he's happy to wait his turn at the top...Bud Poliquin
One size fits all for forwards: The Orange's wings, like their predecessors, are long and lean...Mike Waters
Syracuse's setup men: Triche, Jardine, Rautins will get ball to the big men...Donna Ditota
You Asked, And Boeheim Answered...Jim Boeheim
Q: I would like to see SYRACUSE rather than ORANGE on the front of the home uniforms. Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana, Kansas, Duke and others don’t put their nicknames on their jerseys. Who decides on the uniforms for Syracuse basketball?
— James Bean, Lexington, Ky.JB: To tell you the truth, before this question I didn’t even know what was on the front of the jerseys.
Awesome.
Moving Forward: After losing top 3 scorers from last season, Syracuse hopes it's retooling, not rebuilding...Matt Ehalt
'It's been a long road': Wes Johnson has been just about everywhere, but he has finally found a place to call home...Conor Orr
Taking the lead: Rautins, Onuaku return for a 5th year and become the leaders of a program searching for an indentity...Andrew L. John
Diamond: Triche has bright side, but Jardine deserves chance to show his worth...Jared Diamond
Face of a program: Michael enters senior year with a chance to become SU's all-time greatest player...Brett LoGiurato
Believing the hype: Quentin Hillsman calls Juanita Ward the best he's ever coached. This is her last chance to prove it....Dider Morias
