We Meet Again: Rutgers and Syracuse Could Play Twice in 2012

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and the Big East is content to keep on keepin’ on. With West Virginia nearing their Big East buyout, some talks have surfaced about potential scheduling issues if they indeed leave early, which – barring any massive breakdowns – should happen.

Syracuse Orange: 2011 Exit Survey

Doug Marrone made big strides in his second year at the helm of the Syracuse Orange and led them to an 8-4 record and a bowl victory. After such a surprising season it was only natural for a bit of a letdown in year three for Marrone.

Carson Palmer tailgated at USC-Syracuse game

Where is Carson Palmer these days? Hanging out with fatty USC jersey chasers at the Trojans-Syracuse game. It seems the Bengals former franchise QB would rather slam Tecate’s (red can in a koozie = Tecate) than be in Denver for an NFL game. Your call, bro, but this tailgate looks pretty weak compared to throwing TD passes to stud A.J. Green. Again, sticking to your guns means...
