PrintBest Case/Worst Case: Syracuse - Big East Blog - ESPN
The Carrier Dome is sold out and louder than it's been in years for the season finale against Boston College. Carter runs for 200 yards, Ryan Nassib passes for 300 and the Orange win by the appropriate score of 44-0. An 8-4 record results in a trip to the Pinstripe Bowl. The Empire State Building is lighted orange for the occasion. Top New York and New Jersey recruits fill the Yankee Stadium stands. The Big Ten opens its arms to the Orange following the season.

"It's a blow to the football team not having [Averin Collier]," Marrone said. "He showed he was a playmaker last year, and we were really counting on him."

"I feel really comfortable with him as a head coach," Rosner said. "He always says he's a head coach. But when he comes to the O-line room, he's an O-line coach. It's like Jekyll and Hyde. But I think it just says that he knows how important the O-line is to a team's success. He's been there before."

7. Syracuse will challenge for a bowl bid: The Orange haven't made the postseason since going 6-6 in 2004. They'll have a chance this year. They should be no worse than 3-1 to start the year, with Akron, Maine and Colgate on the schedule. If Syracuse can find just two wins elsewhere, it will go into the regular season finale at home against Boston College for a chance to break even.

1. The Huskies will win all the games they should (4-0). That's a dangerous expectation for a team playing so many underclassmen, but Syracuse, Arizona State, UCLA and Washington State don't have the offenses to exploit the Huskies' defensive holes. And if Jake Locker stays healthy, Washington will score enough points to beat those foes.

Hoya prospect Angelo Chol was thought to be considering Georgetown, Louisville, UConn, Arizona, North Carolina and others but recently tweeted that UConn was off his list because they lost all their scholarships.
The Big East is worth keeping… | Big East Excess
First, we can probably all agree that the Big East should simply drop DePaul, Providence, St. John’s, and Marquette; pick up a new football school or two (UCF and Memphis wouldn’t totally offend me, though I personally think that Maryland and Boston College would/should rather be in the Big East than the ACC), and just move on. Since it doesn’t appear that will happen, the following argument is simply that the status quo is better than any of the alternatives.

That shot about Boehiem retiring
was like a final kick in the balls for good measure…I actually went Ungh!
Syracuse Dooms Day Senario
A 3-9 season has fans wondering whether Marrone can ever get the program back. Rutgers, UConn and Pitt bolt for the Big Ten, leaving Syracuse as a lone wolf in the Northeast. Jim Boeheim retires.
AHHHH
Me too

The Big 10 was more of a groin kick
JB’s retirement is inevitable. Just a matter of when, not if. The Big 10 could always eschew expansion.
Yes, alliteration AND big words. Wordle that.
Ironically
UConn losing scholarships may help a school like G’Town.
What’s worse… some highly touted prospect spending one year at UConn before foolishly going pro… or some highly touted prospect spending three years wallowing in the mediocrity of the Georgetown system, but randomly producing good games against Syracuse?
Ah, who cares.
I was thinking about it last night
and our Best Case Scenario:
Ryan Nassib and DC3 both get invited to the Heisman finals. They split the vote and we get two winners.
Chandler Jones gets triple digit sacks.
Our OLine dominates. They make up the first 5 picks of the next NFL draft. They are replaced by 5 more future first rounders.
#SHAMARKO chases Jake Locker back from the redzone into his own endzone for a safety. Jake cries.
Our LBs each set single season records for TFLs
Mike Williams quits the NFL and goes to the USFL.
Rob Long does not make the all american team because SU never uses him. We score on every possession.
HCDM wins COY
RGLCL is selected for the cover of the Jan 2011 issue of GQ
Randy Edsall does in fact leave UConn. He sites no longer wanted to play Syracuse as the reason why.
HCDM signs a 25 year extension.
The Dome is expanded to seat 80K, which it fills every game.
Miami, VT, BC, Penn State and MD join the Big East. Nova moves up to D1 and also joins. To make room we kick out some of the terrible bball only schools.
