National Signing Day, Syracuse Recruiting: SU Will Recruit Anyone Nicknamed D-Mac
If you followed my "Catching Up With the Commits" posts this fall, you noticed one weekly statline that was generally...eye-popping at the very least. DeVante McFarlane played quarterback and running back for Half Hollow Hills West on Long Island, and in many ways, was a one man wrecking crew. He...

Syracuse Spring Football: Day 14 - Spring Game Preview
As is his usual practice regimen, Doug Marrone arrived at Syracuse's last football practice of the spring as special teams drills were winding down. However, instead of his normal quiet entrance to the field, he took an unexpected detour over to us common folk who come out every day to watch...
