PrintSyracuse Fans Continue to Wait Out Expansion Madness!! (Podcast) | syracuse.com
I [Brent Axe] talked with Teddy Greinstein from the Chicago Tribune "On the Block" on The Score 1260 yesterday. Listen below as Teddy tries to forecast how this will all play out, what could prevent a college football "armageddon", and where he sees Syracuse landing in all this (hint: right where they are now).
The music starts | CuseOrange.com
From a Syracuse tinted lens, it appears fortuitous that the first moves have been made against the Big XII conference and not the Big East. This gives some hope that the when the music does stop, that Syracuse will be in the location that gives them the best fit.
OrangeHoops: Big Ten Expansion - Should the Orange Go?
I think in 15 years you will look back and say it was a bad move for Syracuse to move to the Big Ten (if it happened). But you cannot worry about fifteen years from now. I hope the Big East stays alive for football, and the Orange remain put, but I think if given the chance, they will go.
Three Idiots on Sports: Ebay Item of the Week: Big Red, Big Orange, Big 10
We're going "Back to the Future" with our Ebay Item of the Week. The year is 1983, and little did we know, the #1 Nebraska Cornhuskers battled future Big 1o rival Syracuse in a 63-7 thriller at Lincoln's Memorial Stadium. You're in luck if you've been looking for the official game program to that barn burner.
In honor of a matchup we may be seeing more of in the future, enjoy the starting lineups from the 1989 Syracuse vs. Duke ACC-Big East Challenge game. For the record, Cuse won 78-76.

True Story
the summer before my freshman year in HS (1991) we moved to Va. The local HS held a BBall camp every summer so of course my brother and me signed up. The guest speaker was none other than Bobby Hurley. Please note that my brother was and still is a huge Duke fan. Yes we still are on speaking terms. So when it came time for Q&A with the guest speaker I held my hand in anticipation of making my bro look really really stupid.
Ahem….
“who did you play your first game against in college?”
“Oh I’ll never forget my first game in college. It was 2 years ago against Syracuse in the Big East-ACC challenge. Not only did we lose but the first play was a Stevie Thompson dunk right in my face”
I beamed.
My brother dove his head in his hands and didnt utter another word until we got home. Those words were “fuck you” when I tossed the tape in the VCR so he could see the play dear ol Bobby (whom I joked earlier that day might need a ride up to the camp) was talking about.
Of course the following March he was the one doing the laughing and finger pointing. Oh well.Guess what goes around comes around huh?

LeRon Ellis...
Gosh, these are the names from my childhood! Though, I never really realized that LeRon Ellis played on the same court as Derrick Coleman. Or that DC played with Billy Owens… I always attributed DC to a slightly earlier era with Seikally & co.
Orange you glad it's not football season?
Same here on the memories.
Coleman and Owens together was kind of a faint memory, but that might only because I just saw it in that video. But seeing that starting lineup makes me wonder how that was not one of the most amazing teams in Syracuse history.
Love that team
that was one of the most amazing teams in Syracuse history, that was the last Syracuse team ranked #1 in the country before this season. Though the year prior was better. Sherman and Thompson on the top line, Owens, Ellis and Coleman on the back line, Dave Johnson off the bench. They lost to an equally stacked Illinois team in overtime of the elite 8. Seton Hall was also awesome that year. As was Duke and Georgetown. Check out the rosters of the top 10 teams. Unbelievable talent in college basketball then. We will never see anything like that again.
Basically started 5 forwards on that team
When Sherm left, they had to go with Stevie Thompson at the point. Johnson was the shortest starter (at forward?!) at 6’ 5". Ridiculous.
someone fill me in
cuz I’m taking a serious trip down memory lane here. Is that the year we lost ND on a last second shot – which sent Digger Phelps dancing along the sidelines?
Or was that the year later> after DC left?
years later but
while we’re strolling down memory lane this is one of my favorite memories
I came across this goodie on youtube
