It’s the day you’ve all been waiting for. Yes, the official start of the Syracuse basketball season. Tonight, SU takes on the Big Red of Cornell. We’re optimistic about this season, though you never really how things are gonna work out until you really get into it.

In other news, the beleaguered president of the fine institution for which I work has decided to resign for the good of the University (and so he can spend more time with the Mayor of Toronto). I really feel bad about the whole thing – he struck me as a good guy. Shows what I know.

Happy 64th to one of my all-time favorites. I finally just had to pick one of these, otherwise I’d spend my whole day just watching one after another. I’m sure Vernon can find some good ones.
