I'm confused. Why isn't everyone kneeling? KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

Friday, the Syracuse football team took a stroll through Yankee Stadium, site of tomorrow's Pinstripe Bowl, before meeting with local kids to talk about not doing drugs or something. You can check out some great photos from that meet-and-greet here.

Of course, Syracuse can't go to the Pinstripe Bowl without a lengthy discussion about Doug Marrone, who is from the Bronx, playing a football game in the Bronx.

"I think I may be the most excited person coming back," Marrone said. "Brings back times where I remember my grandfather, and it’s very nostalgic for me to be here."
