Just Call Us UL-Syracuse

Do you think there really are all those University of Louisiana schools down there? Or do you think they just make them up in order to pad LSU and Tulane's schedules? I mean, you've never actually seen UL-Monroe play, have you? You've never actually met anyone who's been to UL-Lafayette. You've never seen them on TV, only in "photos." I'm just sayin...

In fact, I'm pretty sure this is Louisiana-Lafayette's schedule:

@LSU
@ Tulane
BYE
@ Tulane
@LSU
@ LSU
@LSU
@LSU
@Tulane
BYE
@Tulane
@LSU
@Tulane
New Orleans Bowl vs. Tulane

Well give it a few years and maybe people will start thinking the same thing about Syracuse. I mean, we're all in the same boat. You know, The Bottom Ten boat. The pre-season rankings are out and the Orange are sitting, uh, pretty?...at #9 in the Lollapalooza-themed poll (when was the last time a Lollapalooza reference was relevant?).
Wild Sweet Orange: Syracuse hasn't been sweet on the field in a long time. If that doesn't change, Greg Robinson's wild ride will be ending soon.
You know who's not in the Bottom Ten? Duke. Choke on that.

Thanks to the many folks who sent me this link, but especially Eric Dievendorf, former SU student ('02) and not the tatted-up ruffian with shoddy ligaments. Although to be honest, I can't really speak for his ligaments either. Could have been a lot worse, Eric. You could have been Dante Green.
