A rare Big East note from us on Syracuse, where Greg Robinson plans to install the forward pass. In other news, we could have a new favorite college qb, tubby tosser Perry Patterson. According to Robinson, Patterson would be ideal at 230, but came in weighing 248 pounds. J-Lo, watch out.
So a playoff would be too much of a demand on student athletes? But a 12 game schedule followed by a bowl game? No problem. Wait, how about an eleven game schedule followed by a playoff…now you’re talking crazy. What would happen to the Fort Worth Bowl? Or the Humanitarian Bowl? Think of what you’d do to poor Boise! Or the tradition of the Capital One Bowl? What would become of the Mascot Challenge? Think of the poor mascots…
(P.S. There was going to be a picture here, but inexplicably the Google Image search for “ugly college mascot” gives you a picture of Syracuse Post-Register sportswriter Bob Snyder. Though he’s no Troy McClure, he’s definitely better looking than the WKU Hilltopper. Judge for yourself below.)

It’s not necessarily about football, but this is the funniest thing we somehow missed in the history of the internet. After the story we heard about a stripper named “Jaws” and Mutombo at the VIP room of Atlanta’s legendary Gold Club, we would like to post our formal answer of “Not us, ever.”
According to Josh Portis, who’s fresh off an inconsistent but impressive Orange and Blue game, he does not believe he will be redshirting this year. This should make for interesting competition to back up Chris Leak this fall.

We’re shameless we know but we couldn’t resist. If more pictures of Jennifer Lopez are what you crave try looking here.
We here at EDSBS.com have an affinity for those local college favorites that, although stars, really don’t belong making the leap to the next level to start on Sundays. Therefore, we intend to make an effort to spotlight some of our favorites every now and again. High on that list is University of Kentucky Alum Jared Lorenzen. (more…)
