As is the case, everytime we come close to the game it is time for me to do my usual post that I call my "Last Thoughts". As you know this post is all about what my gut feeling tells me or what I am thinking as the game approaches. It could be about players, or coaches, or...

As I keep trying to catch up (I feel like I am in the never ending post) with my ex Syracuse players in the NBA, I have arrived at the games of 12/15, where three of head coach Jim Boeheim's pupils should be taking to the court. So, without further interruptions, here is the "...

Welcome to AEM's NCAABB Picks for the Big East. I am going to try to stay on top of this and pick all the games from now on, until the end of the season. If I miss some, I apologize in advance, but know this, I will try my best to get them all. I will also keep a full count of...
SU vs Memphis: The Preview

How do you make a match up between Top 25 teams turn into a game that has a lot less prestige than it should? Easy, you somehow find a way to have your top two players not play. Now I know that head coach Jim Boeheim wasn't planning this, but that is why might just happen when his eleventh ...
Orange in the League (12/14/08)

The Orange Squeeze

A very light schedule was on tap for 12/14, as four games were played, and just one ex Syracuse player took part of those games. But as we all know, 1 or all, as long as there is a touch of orange in the NBA I will be doing my recap that I call "Orange in the League". In...
Spence as the OC on the hill

The Orange Squeeze

Reading around the official site of Syracuse Athletics I see that there is yet again a new hire for the football program. He is Rob Spence, ex Clemson offensive coordinator, and long time friend of Doug Marrone. Just like John Anselmo, Spence is yet again another person who walked the same ...

Canisius vs SU: The Recap

| Comments
In the end, if you were only to read the score or just glance through the recap or listen to the morning news as you get ready to head on out, you would say "oh good, the Orange got back on track, beating Canisius by 22. And you would be right, but you would also be wrong in...

I am truly sorry I was not able to get the preview and last thoughts about this game, but unfortunately my computer literally went "poof" as Sunday afternoon was going so smoothly and I was catching up on my "in the League" posts. Yesterday I was in no mood to...
Head coach Marrone has his first hire?
December 17, 2008 by
The Orange Squeeze
| Comments
It looks like a new piece of the football program might be coming into play. From what is being reported on syracuse.com head coach Doug Marrone has gotten his first hire for the new staff. And the winner of this would be one John Anselmo, who coached at Nassau Community College. I have to say ...
Dodd isn't drinking the Marrone kool aid

The Orange Squeeze
| Comments
Let me say this before I go on with this post, I, unlike a lot of the Syracuse fan base, have not drank the Marrone kool aid yet. I will say that I have moved closer to the refrigerator of late, but still have taken no sip of it, and not planning on it for a while, probably until half way ...
In the end did Boeheim hurt or help Devo?

I guess if you're into Syracuse sports, last week was a time frame that will have made your head spin for a while. The Eric Devendorf story out into the open with each side telling their version on the Brent Axe Show. Head coach Jim Boeheim was on both the Axeman's show as...

I was listening to a local radio show a couple of days ago where one of the hosts said that the loss to Cleveland State was not really a big deal. Well, I am here to tell anyone that is reading this blog that he is completely wrong, and here is why. Tonight's game, tip off at...
A dream for Syracuse sports...

I was listening to Brent Axe as he was talking about the fact that the crowd against Cleveland State wasn't as loud as it should be. Not by a long shot, I would say. But then I think about it a bit and have to say that be it silent or loud, there were close to 15,000 people at...
Doug Marrone not going to do double duty
December 14, 2008 by
The Orange Squeeze
| Comments
As I read up this morning, on both the SU Athletic web page and on Donnie Webb's blog, it seems that the new head coach for Syracuse won't be doing double duty as first thought. Doug Marrone, after speaking to the owner, the GM and the head coach of the Saints, resigned from...
Long Beach St. vs SU: The Recap

The Orange Squeeze

I have to say that the game between Long Beach State (4-5) and 13th ranked Syracuse (9-0) was pretty boring, so before I talk about the game let me tell you how I kept going watching it. I did so by joining the Three Idiots on Sports and their live web chat while watching the game. The talk was ...

Everytime there is a game like Long Beach State (4-4) (or any other team I haven't heard much or any about) versus 13th ranked Syracuse (8-0) (or any other big time team) I know one thing and one thing only, it's mostly about the big time team and not the team I haven'...

If you go to the official Syracuse Athletics web site you will be greeted by this picture: I guess this means that it is final the fact that Syracuse is getting Doug Marrone has its new head coach. Like it or not, this is the man who is going to give it a try for his alma mater. Today at 2:00 ...

While the NBA didn't have much going on last night, with just three games on tap, it seems that one ex Syracuse player was in action, and that means it is time to recap his performance on the night, and here in The Orange Squeeze it's done with my daily post called "Orange...

Plenty of happenings of late around SU. The Eric Devendorf story, or should we know categorize it saga. The search for the next head coach for the football program, that makes me feel that Dr. Gross hired a carousel company and not a search firm. But you have read enough of my stuff (and do not ...

Call your network provider and ask how you can get us, "the channel that is fifty/fifty when it comes to breaking news". That is the new ad that the NFL Network will be coming out with right after Doug Marrone signs with Syracuse as their new head coach. That would be the...

In a night where a couple of the ex Syracuse players were in action, I can not wait to do this "Orange in the League" since one of them tied a record for most points scored. But there is plenty to talk about in this edition of my daily post, so let's get it going right...

Only time will tell what will be of the once proud football program at Syracuse, but right now, with the words of athletic director Dr. Daryl Gross still ringing in my head about getting the first pick, hearing that Doug Marrone is going to be the next head coach just doesn't give me that ...

As I finish my thoughts on what happened with Eric Devendorf and all of that is now going snowball from it let me say that Devo's head coach, Jim Boeheim, is not happy at all with the Judicial Board has found to be the proper punishment. And he talks about it very clearly with...
