Is that one of the Baldwin brothers scowling outside of Dinosaur BBQ with a bunch of guys working off a hangover after the Orange drilled Maine?
Well, of course it is. Syracuse is where dreams become reality.
As detailed on Friday, this was my first CNY pilgrimage to the Dome for a football game in a decade. However, astute reader Jason pointed out my column was fundamentally flawed. I was not 0-8 since ’99 attending SU football games. I was actually, 1-8 – having traveled to South Bend for the upset win over Notre Dame in ’08, simply known as “The Groobers Thanksgiving Miracle.”
Nonetheless, the D.A. Road Trip record is now a robust 2-8 (we picked up TWO full games over the weekend) after the thrashing of the Black Bears.
It should be noted, the feeling inside the Carrier Dome was that I had dragged my dark football karma inside the building. Maine plowed towards two touchdown drives in the first half to take a 14-7 lead, making the supposedly sturdy Orange defense look shaky at best. The “strength of the team” allowed the Bears to resemble the Chicago or Cal variety, not Maine. I should take most of the blame there.
Despite the scary early returns, the Orange settled down and romped in the second half allaying the horrifying fear that The March to Six Wins would take a devastating hit on Saturday night.
On this third weekend of September, 2010 – here’s what we learned.
#1) ‘Cuse college living is still the dream: Team Fizz Conroy and Couzens inherited a Syracuse-themed Beirut table and full bar inside their three bedroom apartment on Sumner. FTW.
#2) The Carrier Dome coney is still snappy and spicy and retardedly delicious.
#3) Varsity wings haven’t lost a step since 1929 and nothing gets Orange Nation more fired up than an upside-down Akron flag.
#4) The TKE house may be the only fraternity in America with a pair of house ducks named after rap legends. “Snoop Duck” and “DUCKtor Dre” seemed very content in their brown box. Syracuse University, 40k per year. Mom and dad must feel like their really getting their money’s worth. Good dudes. Great ducks.
#5) Dropping Ernie Davis Hall on the front lawn of Dellplain is a brilliant architectural idea. How many new buildings can we shoehorn into a six-block radius? SU admin is soon going to green light a new dorm built within the Dome’s air ducts.
#6) The 24-hour McDonald’s on Erie Blvd. is the site of more Big Mac-on-Big Mac crime after 3 a.m. than any other Mickey D’s in the country.
#7) Orange bloggers always rep well.¬†Ran into Brian Harrison from the Orange44 blog at Faegan’s postgame. Great dude. Bought me a few pints. At least I think he did. It was Hour 13 of the Saturday bender. It may have been George Harrison for all know.
#8) At least two of the five Baldwin brothers are within a five-mile radius of downtown Syracuse at all times (it’s written into their parole agreements). Daniel and Steven (pictured) were at Dinosaur BBQ Sunday afternoon. When Kauf and Dr. BS asked Stevie for a picture, he politely responded, “Guys, I really have to go to the bathroom. Let’s do it after.”
And we did.  The March to Six Wins continues. Good dudes. Great ducks. Two Baldwins.

I’d prefer to use some with the content material on my weblog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link inside your net blog. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Kudos
There is noticeably a bundle to realize about this. I assume you created various good points in functions also.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout 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 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

Hi. Cool write-up. There is actually a issue with the internet web site in firefox, and you might want to test this… The browser is the marketplace leader and a huge portion of folks will miss your excellent writing due to this issue.
This design is steller! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
I admire your work , regards for all of the valuable weblog posts.
First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thanks!

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

Hi! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to give it a look. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Fantastic blog and superb design and style.
At this time it seems like WordPress is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. 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 undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its field. Awesome blog!
Hey there! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I needed to ask. Does building a well-established blog such as yours take a massive amount work? I am brand new to writing a blog however I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
My partner and I stumbled over here coming from a different website and thought I might as well check things out. I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward to looking over your web page for a second time.

Hey there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. thanks
Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!
