Listen to the Mega-Pinstripe Bowl FizzCast:
Happy Bowl Week to Orange Nation from The Fizz! We’re in full on Pinstripe Bowl mode with the game just three days away from Yankee Stadium. Hope you’re enjoying your Christmas-hangover, as you await your cancelled flight/street plowed/next mojito. (That last one for those of you who escaped to a Caribbean resort and are not buried under a foot of snow.)
Sunday’s snowstorm caused a major delay for all players and coaches to actually get to the Bronx. Today‚Äôs pep rally in Times Square for SU and K-State has also been canceled because of the storm, leading SI.com’s Andy Staples to aptly tweet:¬†‚ÄúWhy most bowl games are played in southern states: Today’s Pinstripe Bowl kickoff rally in Times Square canceled by snowstorm.‚Äù Touch√©, sir.
On this week‚Äôs FizzCast we dissect the Pinstripe Bowl from every possible angle via the eastern seaboard: Conroy is in Syracuse, Kannel from Andover, MA, Hoffman at Greenville, S.C., D.A. in Warwick, N.Y., and I’m locked in from White Plains, NY. They‚Äôre all wonderful places to spend the holidays until you’re trapped. Thanks snow.
D.A.: “With all of these recent suspensions, it really does make you wonder if Syracuse is going to be too undermanned to win this thing. I think straight up SU would win this thing, but these suspensions have me worried a little bit. This should have been the start of building for 2011 and I wonder how much a benefit it’s going to be for the team if half of them are suspended.” Prediction: Syracuse over K-State.
Couzens: “One of the good things is the way things can turn around through just one season. Keep in mind they said before the season they wanted to make a bowl, not win it. Obviously if you’re in it, you want to win, but this can be a huge turnaround for Syracuse. If they’re able to rally enough support around it when they’re in the biggest media market in the country, it really can be big for Syracuse.” Prediction: K-State over Syracuse.
Kanell: “K-State happens to be the third worst team in the nation in defending the run. Both teams like to run the ball and Kansas State has a horrible rushing defense…I think we know what type of game we’re getting and since the field position battle is going to be so important, how much does the absence of Rob Long hurt the Orange?” Prediction: Syracuse over K-State.
Hoffman: “I know K-State’s losses are far better losses than Syracuse’s losses. Their losses are in the Big 12 and SU’s are in the Big East. If you look at any of the Syracuse losses, you say this is the team that beat West Virginia and that defense they way they were playing should have been good enough to beat any team Syracuse lost to, but Ryan Nassib was playing quarterback and that was the end of that.” Prediction: K-State over Syracuse.
The four Fizz pool reporters are split on the predictions. As for Conroy? He’s covering the game, thus staying neutral. Yet another example of The Fizz’s (cough) journalistic integrity.
For those of you in Syracuse on the day of the Pinstripe Bowl, make sure to stop by the Dome before the game and catch the SU women’s basketball team in action. I’ll be courtside calling the game, also heard in CNY on Sunny 102.
No?
Ok, enjoy the couch, snow and football.

I think Syracuse will win for one reason and that is weather. We won’t need to throw and K-State won’t be able to throw. Our defense is rested and we got to practice younger players in key roles with the extra practices we had. The majority K-St. players are from Texas and the cold will shock them. We in the ‘Cuse however are used to this. Go SU 23-17.
The author talked about many curious points in this posting. I came across it by searching Google and I must admit that I am currently subscribed to the site, it is extremely great 😀
Weather will be an issue for both teams. While the K State players may mostly be from Texas (I haven’t checked), all the SU players are used to playing in perfect conditions. I think that is a wash. I don’t fault SU’s holiday plans, seeing that many players may live closer to NYC than Syracuse. However, the blizzard just handed KSU an advantage by having all their players together coming in to NYC.
Go SU!
Weather is the great equalizer in this game. SU hardly practices in the snow (except maybe in the spring) and never plays in it at home. K-State, no matter where their players are from, doesn’t play in the cold for most of the season either. Just because people are from Texas doesn’t mean they’ve never been in cold weather. Both teams will be at an equal disadvantage here. Talent will be the deciding factor…and in that case, I hope the Orange runs the ball.
Also, @Elana Mosbey–thank you for the gratuitous use of emoticons on The Fizz. You are a brave woman.
Couz,
Congratulations… You just complimented a spambot.
Love,
Conroy 😀
Yes, Conroy. It’s something known as sarcasm.
