Boooo

When Daryl Gross decided to retire #44, I wasn’t particularly in favor of it. I would much rather see it restored to glory with the renaissance of the football program (underway, slowly and painfully to be sure, but underway). I’d love for it to be available either as a recruiting tool or as a reward [...]

Gross still interviewing candidates

SYRACUSE, NY (AP) — Several hours after announcing the hiring of New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Doug Marrone as his new head football coach, Syracuse University’s Director of Athletics His Royal Highness Dr. Daryl Gross confirmed that he had just concluded an interview with Boise State head coach Chris Petersen, and had lined up several [...]

“When they retire my jersey, I’ll wear it.”

Anybody else notice the nugget of a shot fired across the bow of Daryl Gross at the end of this Mike Waters’ blog entry that otherwise focuses on Cosmo’s Pizza?  Carmelo was asked if he had his Olympic medal to show off this weekend in Syracuse, and he explained exactly the circumstances that he would [...]

You will of course recognize the two guys in the center. The man on the far right (gray suit) is the esteemed DOCTOR Daryl Gross, clearly pleased to be not fucking something up for a change. [...]

The Blame Game

An attempt to find some rationale amidst the steaming heap of dung that is this year’s Field of 65 (and how Syracuse ended up in the NIT). All computer numbers from WarrenNolan.com.

The Syracusan’s in the House, oh my God, oh my God. I’m back from my 21 day journey out of the country and I’m happy to see the team didn’t totally collapse in my absence. A loss to Pitt but a win vs everyone else - about the best I could have hoped [...]

An open letter to Daryl Gross

This is a letter I emailed to Daryl Gross a month or so ago, and have been disappointed not to have received a response. Therefore, with this publication, it becomes an open letter. I remain as convinced as ever that there is some sort of quantifiable psychological advantage to the use of music [...]
