FizzCast: Season Preview with Derrell Smith

The Orange linebacker on the bowl goal and McNabb’s legacy.

Listen to the Fresh FizzCast with Derrell Smith:

Frank Ordonez / The Post-Standard

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.”

    I’m not sure why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

    The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for newbie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. 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 put 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!

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.

    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 know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    First of all I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Cheers!

    My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    When you declare war on journalists and the journalism profession, it shows the contempt you have for the people who put food on your table. Linus, your salary of Sh2.5 million comes from these people you have no respect for. Any media house, NMG included, is driven by what journalists write. NMG would not be what it is today were it not for us. Instead of appreciating the contribution we have made – we daily put our lives on the line to bring food to your table and other managers who have also shown contempt for us – you opted to rubbish the foot soldiers who are your pillars in the high office.

    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Kudos

    May I simply just say what a relief to find somebody who actually
    understands what they are talking about on the internet.
    You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light
    and make it important. A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side of
    your story. I was surprised that you are not more popular since you most certainly have the gift.
