• ReLax

  While I was away, Syracuse repeated as national champions, in historic fashion...

• Sharks

  I'm going to give it a chance tonight. That is, western hockey. Growing up in Buffalo and going to school in Syracuse, I have my obvious biases -- Sabres and eastern hockey, Big East basketball, AFL football. But I live in the bay area, and I'd love to watch more hockey.
  Whenever the Sabres make it [...]

• Over Analyzed

  What can I say, I have a tendency to over analyze my brackets. After reading this ultra-important dissection of Obama's tournament picks, I realized something about my own biases in making picks (outside of always choosing Big East teams).
  Following a thorough look through my bracket, I've realized that I am biased towards 3- and 6-seeds [...]

• Marching

  I'm biased, what can I say. I'm predicting -- boldly -- a rematch of Syracuse and UConn in the final for this year's tournament...

  Click for complete bracket.
  For you long-time readers, these picks may seem familiar, and they should. Two years ago, I predicted an all Big East Final Four (it didn't happen), and I predicted [...]

• Syracuse vs. UConn

  I don't have ESPN anymore, so I listened to the last four overtimes on the radio (over the internet)...

  A pretty good birthday gift.
  UPDATE -- And the highlights...

• Busted

  Think Dr. Melfi, only much younger, like 24 or 25 years old. This was my therapy apparently. I could barely remember how I had gotten in trouble (and sentenced to therapy), but I was now glad that I had.
  I tried avoiding the punishment. I let the answering machine pick-up, although I always did, no matter [...]

• Extensa

  Saying goodbye is never easy, even if it is to a worthless piece of junk. I'm recycling my first laptop -- the sturdy Acer Extensa 367T (the 't' stands for TFT screen). I got it during the first semester of my freshman year in Syracuse, and I split the cost with my parents. I used [...]

• Philly Fan Redux

  I have received some flak for my rant against Philly fans yesterday, so let me continue...
  Philadelphia is an elite world-class city, but it is not New York or Boston. Philadelphia is analogous to the ugly girl at the party that you wind up going home with because there was no one else to choose from. [...]

• Penn State vs. Syracuse

  "Syracuse announced yesterday that it would renew its dormant rivalry with Penn State beginning in 2008." That is from a New York Times article dated June 18, 2002.
  It's on... Penn State vs. Syracuse. Saturday, September 13, 12:30pm (reyonthehill time). Live on ABC. Tickets are available.

• Meth Minute 39

  Dan Meth has posted his last episode in the Meth Minute 39 series (appropriately, the thirty-ninth episode). I let the Syracuse alum know my frustrations by email...
  What upsets me most about this, is that my future children will never truly appreciate what has happened. Yes, these episodes will be immortalized on YouTube for the ages, [...]
