Ask any Orange. Upon graduation, Syracuse will send you enough mail to single-handedly keep the nearly-bankrupt postal service in business for another century. I do my checking and baking online. I receive e-cards on most holidays. I haven’t sent a letter since the mid-90s. Yet, every few weeks SU bombards me with brochures, newsletters, quarterly magazine and Otto stool samples. The hope by the university is to wear you down, make you admit how much you love being an Orange and donate your ass off.
Have to admit, the method is working. Every time another color glossy of an exchange student sitting in the quad doing algebraic equations comes across my desk, I shed a tear. Why can’t I be hungover and passed out after Flip Night at Faegan’s right where Shaheed is doing Tuesday’s take-home exam? Hell, I spend half my waking hours running a Syracuse blog dedicated to finding out what 18-year-old’s think of Doug Marrone’s offense.
As a Newhouse School alum (’01), add “Newhouse Network” to the list of literature I get. This month (quarter? week? day?), NN profiled 25 recent grads to watch. The first on the list? Broadcast Journalism major (’96) Contessa Brewer, anchor, host and hottie at MSNBC.
She graduated a year and a half before the D.A. era began on campus. Too bad. I would’ve loved to brush by her near the NCC-News studios and smell her strawberry bliss body spray. Assuming I wasn’t terrified in the the stairwell because a senior chick actually was within 45 feet of me.
Either way, good time for Syracuse University. 1996 Final Four and total smoke show Contessa Brewer is roaming your hallways. The Cuse really is in the house, oh my God, oh my God. However, one part of her profile stood out as borderline weirdo. Each subject was asked of his/her favorite memory of Newhouse. Here’s Contessa’s:
“I loved covering real news as a student. Once, a body was found in a neighborhood not far from my house and I went out and joined the professional news crews covering the story.”
Look, there’s a reason Tess (if I may call you that) is on MSNBC discussing the BP oil leak and I’m on cable access in a top hat breaking down the Sox long relief. She’s really good and really dedicated. But isn’t that a little sketchy? That’s your favorite memory of Newhouse? How into news do you have to be when you’re fired up some dead guy from Cicero washed up next door? And where the hell was Tess living? I mean, I lived freshman year in the Brewster/Boland dorms and even I didn’t see a dead dude.
Tell me if I’m wrong in the comments section below. Does it make Contessa Brewer hotter because she’s chasing down crime stories as an undergrad or a little creepy she’s excitedly eschewing happy hour at 44’s to go see a rotting carcass?

Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thank you!

I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However imagine if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could certainly be one of the best in its field. Great blog!
I am not positive should you mean that you want to write a weblog but don’t want the templates that come supplied with places like Doodlekit… or in case you mean you would like to use the content material material from yet another blog Рnot written by you Рinside your internet internet site.
I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Excellent post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Thanks!
