Sean at TNAM and Tim are coming down hard on Devo for thinking he has to put the game on his shoulders and, as a result, forcing himself into bad plays. They have a point. Dude can get sloppy. But I think the other players appreciate his heart and in a way it takes the [...]

Whip it into shape

November 26, 2008 – 8:06 am

The “Get Pumped” Countdown #18: Sexiest non-conference schedule EVER

October 6, 2008 – 12:13 am

Q: What do the Florida Gators, the Memphis Tigers, and the Kansas Jayhawks have in common?
A: They make up the majority of the teams that have won or played for the National Championship over the past three seasons. Oh yeah, and Syracuse has a good chance at playing all three of them this season [...]
