By Dave Cooperman Well it’s finally here. It’s game night in the Carrier Dome and by now you have read the previews, listened to the analysts, drawn your conclusions and it’s near unanimous when it comes to the Syracuse defense. Apparently they aren’t going to be very good. Well I think everyone is in for [...]

August 23rd, 2011 
Dave Cooperman 
4 Comments By Dave Cooperman Continuing with the Football Fridayseries, this week will feature season predictions by each of our writers, running Monday through Friday. — Syracuse has got me going in all different directions. My opinions on the upcoming season change by the hour. I’m a basket case. One minute I look at the offense and can’t [...]
Football Friday: Defensive Backs
July 29th, 2011 Dave Cooperman No Comments By Dave Cooperman To the casual observer, it may seem like Doug Marrone has signed quite a few defensive backs since returning to his alma mater in 2009 and to a degree he has. While some never made it to campus (Dale Peterman) or switched positions (Steve Rene), Marrone has brought in 11 commitments to [...]

July 7th, 2011 Dave Cooperman No Comments By Dave Cooperman This past week you have read our opinions of who belongs on Syracuse’s Mount Rushmore in football, basketball and celebrities. Like any good Mount Rushmore debate the opinions have varied. Should it have been McNabb over McPherson, Pearl over Coleman, Dick Clark over Maria Sansone and like any true debate there is [...]
Your 2012 NBA Draft Primer (This Is Seriously Happening)
June 24th, 2011 Dave Cooperman 1 Comment By Dave Cooperman Could the 2011 draft have been any worse? There was no true franchise talent, foreign players galore, millions of trades that you have to wait to announce and no Syracuse representation. Add that up and you have a recipe for disaster. So the easiest way to get over a dud is to [...]
I’m Sorry Rick Jackson
June 24th, 2011 Dave Cooperman 2 Comments By Dave Cooperman If there is one word I would use to sum up Rick’s career at Syracuse it was that he was likable. That isn’t meant to belittle any part of his game or his impact; I mean that he was an easy player to root for. He worked hard on his game, he [...]
Football Friday: Wide Receivers
June 24th, 2011 Dave Cooperman No Comments By Dave Cooperman What a difference a year makes. The theme of last season’s run of Football Friday was all about needing a veteran defense to carry an inconsistent, question mark filled offense. This season it is the offense who returns the core of impact starters and a bulk of that core comes from the [...]

June 16th, 2011 Dave Cooperman 1 Comment By Dave Cooperman In a perfect world the road from the Pinstripe Bowl would be paved with gold and 4-star recruits but alas, things are never quite that easy. The Orange program continues its climb out of their decade of disaster but it’s going to be a slow ascent no matter how much we wish [...]
A Moment For The Undrafted
May 25th, 2011 Dave Cooperman No Comments By Dave Cooperman June 1st always represents a mile marker for me on my sports highway. I don’t wake up that morning and count roughly 60 games gone in the baseball season or brace myself for the Stanley Cup or NBA Finals. I am certainly not nursing an Indy 500 hangover. June 1st means I [...]
Boeheim Simply Searching For Hand In Battle With Dion
April 23rd, 2011 Dave Cooperman 2 Comments By Dave Cooperman It has been a strange week in the relationship history of Jim Boeheim and Dion Waiters. As has been his interesting new policy, Boeheim couldn’t help himself from going just a little too far in addressing the future of Dion Waiters, even suggesting a change of scenery is sometimes best for all [...]
