Listen to the Fresh FizzCast with Derrell Smith:
Team Fizz has brought you exclusive FizzCasts with the Orange during our 2010 Preview Week. Rob Long talked Superman and underoos. Doug Marrone on the bowl goal.
Derrell Smith is one cool cat. He’s a friendly dude, considers it an honor to don the orange and a hell of a linebacker. Solid rep for the ‘Cuse. The Fizz caught up with him at Big East Media Days in Newport a few weeks ago.
You like the public declaration by Marrone that a bowl game is the goal?
“Yeah. It’s like a call to action. He’s setting the guidelines and now we gotta go out and do it.”
Is it strange at Media Days to pal around with all your opponents?
“It really is, you gotta make friends with people you’re trying to beat on the field.”
How difficult was it to survive the first summer under Marrone?
“It was very tough, as far as the whole mindset he brought with him. It was toughness, mental toughness, physical toughness. The people that weren’t up for it, left. You see the defense went from 119th to top tier in the country at some points. We had a lot of tough people on the defense. The whole mentality he brought here just changed the program right there.”
Smith said it wasn’t difficult to watch Groobers leave – the coach that recruited him. Just a business. Why? Because Smith didn’t come to the 315 for Greg Robinson. He came because he grew up an Orange fan.
“The tradition. I’m probably the biggest Donovan McNabb fan in the whole world. I grew up a Philadelphia fan. A McNabb fan. I can’t wait to put (the new jerseys) on. I might just cross out the 2 and just go with 5. I’m just playin’.¬†It’s definitely an honor to play here.”

Whats up this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Anyway, should you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off subject but I simply had to ask. Cheers!
obviously like your web-site but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to inform the reality then again I will definitely come back again.
I’m not sure why but this site is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being ripped off? I’d really appreciate it.
