This post is sponsored by All Star Sports Cards, located on the first floor of Destiny USA (121 on your mall maps).

If you're searching for that collectible card, looking to trade some in or need the latest Syracuse gear, All Star Sports Cards has everything you could possible need. Seriously, look at this photo. That's everything.

AND, in a special offer for TNIAAM folks, the first 50 people to run over to All Star Sports Cards right now and mention they saw this on the site get a free Carmelo Anthony 2003 National Championship poster. Don't say I never do anything for you.

All Star Sports Cards are open Monday through Saturday, 10:00am-9:30pm and Sunday, 11:00am-6:00pm.

And so it begins. The 2012-2013 Syracuse Orange basketball season officially kicks off tonight with Midnight Orange Madness.

You'll find the event online at ESPNU/ESPN3.com and you can follow along with Jeremy Ryan on Twitter for live updates from inside the Dome. Get ready to see Scoop Jardine, Michael Jordan('s daughter), Wale and the men's and women's basketball teams.

Sad note. James Southerland will not participate in the dunk contest. We will get past this but, it will be hard.
