McMurphy's Law: Marrone's Orange Crushes 'The Chipotle Curse'
Syracuse junior defensive end Chandler Jones said before the season he didn't believe in it. Sharon, a manager at Chipotle's new location in Syracuse, said Monday she's never heard of it. Sean Keeley, who first chronicled the phenomena last year, hopes it's finally over. It, of course, would be the dreaded "Chipotle Curse."
Orange Alert: Syracuse Still Alive In Big East - SB Nation New York
With just those tools, I think Syracuse has maybe a 20 percent shot at that BCS berth. That's better than last week's or last season's odds which probably hovered around zero. I think SU fans, players and coaches will take that improvement. And who knows, considering the Big East's vulnerable state anything seems possible week to week. Especially after Saturday.

" and had to lie down for an hour until the hiccups subsided.)

The bad part is Baylor's six win total at this point in the season is further proof that the dark forces of the universe are in charge of this year's college football season, and that you might want to start sacrificing animals of various types to various gods in order to keep the demons at bay. We have no other explanation for Baylor and Syracuse both having six wins at this point in the season, and don't you dare say "It's because they're good football teams." I'M NOT EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR ALL THIS CHANGE AND YOU MUST INTRODUCE IT TO ME SLOWLY.
Kenny gets his hum on after Syracuse's win over West Virginia:
Doug Marrone is the best...around...nothing's ever gonna keep him down...
