  • Great 👍

    Brent is one of the best (if not the best) Syracuse sports journalist. These past few years he has done a great job at really capturing the attitudes of our disillusioned fanbase. He bleeds Orange. Go Cuse.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Joey Spallina's legacy tied to Syracuse lacrosse winning a title? (with Paul Carcaterra)
Q: Syracuse will win four games in May, but what does Spallina need to do to be the difference maker?
He needs to be assertive and take over at least one or two games, not just be part of the offense, combining high-end scoring with playmaking to disrupt opponents.
How Gerry McNamara is shaping Syracuse basketball with key ingredients from Siena(with AJ Pankowski)
Q: What makes the Siena connection crucial to Syracuse's hopes this season?
The Siena connection provides a proven work ethic, a blueprint for defense and grind, and reliable role players who can translate Gerry's system to Syracuse, potentially raising the floor of the program even without an established star.
How to raise money for Syracuse basketball and Gerry McNamara (With SU booster Vinny Lobdell)
Q: Vinny, where did your passion for Syracuse basketball come from, and how did it shape your involvement here?
Vinny explains his long-standing love for Syracuse basketball, sparked by local figures and the community culture, which fuels his drive to rally support and organize fundraising for Gerry McNamara.
Football! Syracuse Spring ball preview mailbag (with Javon Edmonds and Chris Carlson)
Q: Who is going to be the backup quarterback this year?
The panel suggests Amari Odom and Malachi Nelson are contenders, with Danny Lauder staying in the mix; Angeli's injury complicates things, and everyone expects a fluid, camp-driven depth chart.
Boos, ejections and stagnant offense: Syracuse basketball stumbles vs. North Carolina
Q: Why was the team's offense so stagnant today?
