There needs to be developmental progress next year. Doesn't have to mean winning more games. But the program can't fall off a cliff or it's going to look a lot like an awful lot like 2019. 8 wins and a roster than suddenly is deep and young would be more than fine.

I'm starting to hear a narrative that Syracuse fans need to be ok with a step back next year due to the schedule. Realism is one thing. 10 wins with a young roster may be too much. But proactively preparing for a "bad" season is another. I don't think Fran Brown is.

QPR was in dead last in the Championship 6 weeks ago. They are now in 13th. Unbelievable run of form by this club. Hope it continues. Their next match needs to be 3.

Hearing through the grapevine that the NCAA has granted McCord an extra year of eligibility via appeal At this point, it appears to be on Kyle. Will his current draft status be strong enough that it's worth going? Will Syracuse reload to a point he feels he can develop further

I respect Devo, but not a fan of his take re the fans and Autry. Fans have seen decline year over year, decade over decade. What was once a regular NCAA Tourney contender slipped to occassional participant, and now an infrequent guest. If there is context, give it. If not, don't pretend there is.

I decided to reactivate temporarily on X just because I do have a few business needs to resolve, and some ongoing communications I need to finish up via DM. But I have gone fully private and will stay that way moving forward.

One thing I want to emphasize in case there are any stalkers over here too. The bracket thing was dumb, but I didn't deactivate because of it. I deactivated because I was sick of someone who had blocked me, and who I had blocked, screenshotting my posts for his own timeline.

No more tuck rule, but that was exactly the play that happened to the Patriots and Brady in '01 and was called, correctly at the time, incomplete. It is a fumble now. Called correctly again.

There are 2 types of people in corporate meetings. Those who take the meeting behind schedule and this who bring it back. I am one of the very few in the latter group able to do so.

What a terrible deal

The Athletic@theathletic.com

SOURCE: Max Fried and the New York Yankees agree to an eight-year, $218 million deal, pending a physical, @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social reports. It's the biggest deal for a left-hander and fourth largest pitching contract in MLB history. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/594...

Holiday Bowl getting a lot of buzz. Solid destination, and nice paycheck for the ACC and SU. Holiday Bowl pays a million dollars more than even the Gator.

Can someone create a starter pack on @bsky.app of people who follow back? Wild for a platform full of people who seemingly want it to grow to see people who have 5, 10, 20 times more followers than people they follow.

Getting concerned. McMurphy refuses to move us out of this crappy bowl game.

I signed up for BlueSky one month ago today. Thank you for the 500 of you have followed me. I truly believe this will become the town square for people to connect and engage that Twitter was and X killed.

Gotta admire the Cavaliers. They have built a "team". Yeah they have some stars, but it's not like they have 5 all stars. Just a lot of really good players who work well together.
