Around SBN: NFL Roundtable: Which Draft Pick Is Most Likely To Bust?

Sweat Level: Midnight

If we know anything about HCDM, it's that he does his best work while perspiring. And if you're going to properly understand the way his cagey mind works, you need to be to read him the way you would read a wild dog that's slowly advancing on you.  The position of the tail and the ears says a lot about the mind-frame of the dog and the same applies to Doug.  In his case though, instead of a taut tail, it's drippy sweat beads. 

It's smart to be able to tell the signs and know what stage he's at...or about to be at.

Sweat Level: Morning Dew

There's no sweat to speak of. But given that Doug is wearing not one, not two but three layers and he's under the hot lights of a press conference and Donnie Webb is grilling him...it's only a matter of time.  Learn to see the sweat before it trickles.

Wisely, Marrone is sleeveless here.  If he's wearing a jacket while handling that linguine & clam sauce while also thinking about eating that linguine & clam sauce...well we could have a serious health code violation on our hands.

Sweat Level: Midday Showers

Doug Marrone is annoyed.  And when that happens, little sweaty synapses fire in his brain.  Thus begins the process of The Sweatening.  Notice the gleam off his right temple...it's already begun.  You've only minutes, maybe seconds at this point to find shelter.  Know where your exits are at all times and stay low to the ground.

This one was a classic from Doug's playing days.  Note the matted hair, the exasperated demeanor.  When Doug finally left after sitting there for an hour, the Carrier Dome crew had to spend half a day draining the turf.  They've since "Marrone-proofed" it so that the sweat wicks off the surface.  Necessity is the mother of invention.  So is sweat.

Fire: The untamed element. Oldest of man's mysteries. Giver of warmth, destroyer of forests. Right now, this head coach is on fire!

I can't wait until they bottle "Sweat Level Midnight"

I plan on dousing myself with it, to further my flagrant (no homo) Doug Marrone man-crush.

I think this is the first time I’ve actually read that poster from Sweat Level: Midnight. “No More Ex-Cuses”? I think DOC Gross came up with that one on his own and no one was able to tell him no.

Can we be honest with ourselves? The first thing HCDM needs to straighten out is the alignment of his team in the team photograph. Why is everyone askew in the direction toward asinine? What knee will be the one upon the hands rest? I assume that the camera is in some general direction behind Coach’s head… although it would be hard to triangulate from both head tilt and glance angle.

Isn’t the flame in the picture oddly shaped like G-Rob holding a playbook upside down?

I still demand to know

where that fire is coming from.

I think it’s the ceremonial burning of the previous years cleats, right?

Good call

It’s so obvious now that I know

These are all excellent points, but I also want to know

Is that head we see just above HCDM’s the silvery locks of Greg Robinson? If so, that would explain the disorganization of the kneeling. And also gives a whole new level of meaning to the “No More Ex-Cuses” line.

It looks like one of those really cool Al-Qaeda posters, with bin Laden’s stock photo imposed over pictures of raging flames with all the trainees running amok in the background.

One of the key contests in Syracuse's march to the national championship in 1959 was a titanic clash with unbeaten Penn State on Nov. 7, 1959 in University Park, PA. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 7 and the Orangemen No. 4. 

The 20-18 victory propelled Syracuse to the No. 1 in both the AP and UPI polls which they held for the remainder of the season to claim the consensus National Championship. This is the Universal Newsreel account of that contest.
