Josh Kirkland has overcome adversity to play at Syracuse | The Juice Online
He tore his ACL sophomore year of high school, one of many injuries, and it left him questioning his ability to continue playing.

Syracuse football settles into middle of the ACC pack in attendance | syracuse.com
In raw numbers, the Orange is now 60th nationally in average attendance, including 10th in the ACC. Of course, just like Syracuse could sell out every game and not draw half as many fans per contest as Michigan, Alabama, Texas or Ohio State, there are plenty of FBS schools with stadiums that seat 30,000 or less. Two ACC schools (Duke and Wake Forest) seat less than 35,000.

Yelin hopes to see better facilities, attract recruits to Syracuse | The Daily Orange
It looks like a high school locker room, not a locker room fit for Division I volleyball players. Forty-seven years have passed and not a single change has been made to their locker room, head coach Leonid Yelin said. It looks exactly the same. "When you’re recruiting a 17-year-old kid, do you think they are going to remember what the coaches said?" Yelin said. "Not usually."
This is how some Syracuse fan tailgated on Saturday. Apparently, some fans thought we were playing Tennessee, while Clemson fans made fun of all our tailgates.
