Happy New Year, Ryan Lichtenstein
Saturday night marked the Jewish New Year. It may have also dawned a new era in Syracuse football as well.

The Carlton Dance
His name is Carlton Martin and he stands 6’1″, 210 lbs. at defensive tackle in the class of ’10 from Madison, Mississippi.

Tuck in Your Shirt, Dom!
We can only assume that Dom Timbers was not among those persecuted for their belief in wearing a polo without looking like a nerd.
-
The Invisible Hands
Marrone says “Don’t confuse effort with results.” If you’re not getting looks from big time schools, Syracuse might be a place for you.
-
When a Loss is a Win
This edition of the SU offense is not fair to the Orange defense. The ‘Cuse missed out on at least 10 points in that ball game.
-
Heading to Happy Valley
There are a few things around the PSU campus that may give the Orange a slight edge in this weekend’s game.
-
Wild Otto Offense
Marrone refers to it as “The Stallion.” The Fizz is stumping for “The Wild Otto.” Whatever it is, this formation helped garner some cheers on Saturday.
-
Welsh’s Orange Juice
As far as high school defensive linemen go, St. Anthony’s (NY) Robert Welsh is among the best, and he’ll be coming to The Hill next fall.

Fresh Prince Monday
Running back Kamal Hogan is one of the best at toting the rock out there and he has four schools on his list; The Zips, Knights, Cards, and Orange.

Fizz Preview: The Opener
What to make of all these announcements for tickets? Quite obviously, ticket sales are not where the University would like them to be.
-
Things Have Already Changed
For Marrone, football is his life and this team is truly his. There are specifics that back it up:
-
Oh Captain, Where Art Thou?
He’s a first-year recruit of Doug Marrone and still hasn’t played a down of real football. It begs the question: Can a mercenary be a team leader?
-
Is the Fizz Burning its Own School?
It brought up an interesting philosophical question: How do we cover Syracuse athletics here at The Fizz? First, the emailer is correct. Kinda.
-
Meet the New Guy
After finding out that SU was recruiting a kicker and he was competing for a starting job, The Fizz caught up with the newest Orange, Jake Smith.
-
An NCAA Red Flag for Marrone
New kicker? No surprise. But for a head coach to confirm the school was actively recruiting a certain player is a bit startling.
-
Time Flies
How could you not see digital clocks in your sleep when the countdown is just staring you right in the face. So we got that goin’ for us.
-
Mike Williams is Better than You
Mike Williams is easily the best offensive player on the team and has made more than a few excellent catches in the preseason.
-
Dorian Graham Out for Season
“BREAKING via Athletic Dept: 2nd string FS Dorian Graham out for the season. Couzens at practice, details to follow.”

Got Goggles?
The media guide is like staring into the center of the sun. Orange on top of orange, with some brighter orange thrown in for good measure.
-
From Somebody to Nobody
Yesterday at practice Cam Dantley stood at the far end of the players field. He looked, well, disinterested.
-
Something Fishy
Marrone went with his usual approach to Raupers, but you could see that there was something amiss about this departure.
-
Paulus… Go.
Fortunately enough, the shortened time for media access was enough to be a dead giveaway that Greg Paulus would be the starting quarterback.
-
Linebacker Community College
If Penn State is Linebacker U., Syracuse is Linebacker Community College right now.
-
The Woman who Tried to Take Down Lousiville
Pitino got caught in a bizarre and ugly love tryst this week, you couldn’t help but wonder if Fab was alerted to this just ten days ago.
-
Local Product Doin’ Work
If you haven’t heard (or seen) Jamesville-DeWitt’s DaJuan Coleman yet, you’re about to receive some Fizzication.
-
Redefining Boeheim’s NBA Touch
Fading fast is the Syracuse recruiting stigma that The Perfesser’s stars don’t pan out in the NBA.
-
Back to School
Didn’t we already do this whole media day thing in Rhode Island? Well, yeah, but that was the Big East Media Day. This is SU media day. Big difference.
-
Art Jones Eats Lobsters and Quarterbacks
Just how different is a Doug Marrone Camp vs. a Groobers’ one? “I don’t know, I was really just worried about getting back.” Thanks, Art.
-
The Media Poll
What can we actually take away from this though? Well, we know SU got picked to finish last in the conferece media poll… again.
-
Fab and Football
“Fab’s a city guy. Syracuse, while not New York City, is still close enough to New York City.”
-
Fab’s Coach Speaks to the Fizz
After a whirlwind day, which began with a call to Jim Boeheim this afternoon, we grabbed Ross for a few questions on Fab’s decision.

-
Simmons-Gate and Sunday Brunch
The Fizz has learned Nottingham (NY) quarterback Jawan Simmons has still not been offered by Syracuse.
-
Fab Melo Turf War
“He’s basically down to four schools now. Those being Louisville, Syracuse, UConn and Florida State.”
-
Empires, Gardens and Governors
Perhaps most importantly with this game, the SU coaching staff gets a chance to schmooze with the players’ high school coaches.
-
Hometown Hero
Jawan Simmons’ credentials read like Todd McShay’s wet dream: 6′ 3″, 190-lbs, 4.6 second 40-yard dash.
