This is my last day at Orange Fizz. It’s been an honor serving you, Fizz Nation. Let’s end this ride with a trip down memory lane.

Takes I Stand By

The 2018-19 basketball team underwhelmed because not a single key player improved in the offseason.

Boeheim’s 2-3 zone is an amazing defense, but Boeheim’s Army needs to ditch it in TBT.

Over the past two seasons, Syracuse’s offensive line has taken way too much blame for Tommy DeVito’s shortcomings.

Even as a freshman, Jesse Edwards wasn’t getting enough run.

Takes I Take Back

Eric Dungey could play in the NFL.

Jacobian Morgan might be Eric Dungey.

Bourama Sidibe is going to start in 2020-21.

Remember That!?!?

Syracuse football was almost Top-10.

All 30 NBA teams thought Carmelo Anthony was washed.

An unknown cornerback named Iffy Melifonwu burst onto the scene.

Unforgettable Games

Trill six.

The 4th down spike.

The last time there were 30,000 plus in the Dome for basketball.

Thank you to DA, my fellow staffers and you, Fizz Nation.
