Chandler Jones' Quarterback Feast

Earlier this offseason, Chandler Jones unveiled his goal for the year:

"I have a goal that's pretty bizarre but people don't believe it, but I'm gonna do it. 30 sacks. People say, 'shoot for the stars and if you fall short, you'll land on the moon.' So 30 sacks is my goal."

Well, Chan, hope you still have your appetite.

We've listed many reasons why you should be excited about the 2011 SU Football season - 19 to be exact. But at the end of the day, fans only care about one thing: winning.

It's been a long road from the Pinstripe Bowl to mini-camp. But by now, as we reach number two on the 20 reasons to be excited for Syracuse Football, you should be ready. Ready to run through a brick wall, ready to down three straight bologna sandwiches, ready to wear your visor and scream at Bud Poliquin and ready to laugh at Greg Schiano.

And of course, you should be ready for cheerleaders.

#2 - Cheerleaders

Now Syracuse may not have, say, UCLA song girls,

Meh, 6's across the board.

Syracuse may not have SEC Southern Belles (not sure you can really call LSU types the belles),

I see very little cheering going on.

But you don't see Otto complaining.

Why gosh! What a silly thing they're doing with their legs!

Time to go for the full creep, college football fans. Check out the cheerleaders.

Despite being completely replaced by stadium sound systems and all sorts of video boards encouraging cheering, the cheerleader still lives - even if simply for the pleasure of the viewing male audience. So creep on, my friends, it's just about college football season! Pin It Now!

As we move closer to the 2011 Syracuse football season, Lots of Pulp will be counting down the top 20 reasons to be excited for the new year.

The SU athletic department has been through a hell of a ride since Daryl Gross took over as AD in 2004.

The football program went from bowl team, to laughing stock and back to bowl team in six years. The basketball program won two Big East titles, then plummeted out of the tournament for back to back years, and rose all the way back to No. 1 in the rankings. And the lacrosse program missed a final four and a tournament for the first time in 432 years (approximately), only to return to the mountaintop with two more national titles.

One constant has remained.

#3 – DOC GROSS' SHINY HEAD

Gross uses the glare to intimidate other ADs

Doc Gross does a lot as SU, but he's definitely falling short of his potential. Where are the straight-edge razor advertisements in the Dome? What about the official head-oiling sponsor of Syracuse athletics? There's money to be made here.

The 12th man is a phrase we see tossed around a lot these days. Pretty much every team has some sort of slogan decreeing its fans as the extra advantage at their home stadium.

The 12th man, not 12th sorority sister stumbling up from Lucy's trying to sift through her keys to get in her house and looking only mildly interested.

Yes that's right, we're talking about a pet peeve: the key jingling of the student section.

#4 - Annoying SU traditions that will never die.

This one's pretty simple. For some reason, students take out their freshman lanyards, with perhaps one dorm key on it, and jingle it on 3rd down.

Multiple keys??? Must be deafening!

Sure, it's a "key down."
No, it does not have any effect.

Syracuse hasn't really had many teams' number in recent years. Wins against USF and WVU broke long losing streaks, so it's not like the Orange can really boast dominance over their Big East foes.

There's so much good to say about Doug Marrone. He's had a rough couple weeks with some player incidents. But the man who came exceptionally prepared for his interview with Darryl Gross and the Round Table has kept impressing since. He's taken a methodical approach to not only improve the team, but to re-instill the tradition of Syracuse football and win back the community. It was easy to get excited about the bigger names during that hiring frenzy now 2 years past, but it would have been hard to find a more committed and passionate coach.

Yes, that's the folks rabbling about the 10^th reason to be excited about Syracuse Football this year...

#10 – The Outdoor Stadium Debate

In what seems like an almost annual occurrence, we'll hear these rumblings about how Syracuse needs a new outdoor stadium. Well, the football team needs an outdoor stadium about as much as Darryl Gross needs another Blackberry. As in, neither really needs it, at all.

This debate just gives me a reminder of how good us 'Cuse fans have it. Sure, we could have a retractable roof as a compromise. It'd be great so we could enjoy those amazing September and early October afternoons. But in case you haven't noticed, cities and states aren't really slinging around much cash these days.

Sometimes in tandem, sometimes solo, always odd.

#15 – THE POST-STANDARD VIDEO MONTAGES

At Syracuse, I studied Newspaper Journalism. As many realized that the “paper” portion of the industry was dying, newspapers adapted by asking their reporters to become more tech-saavy.

Twitter and blog posts weren't enough. Slideshows with ridiculous music...not gonna cut it.

Reporters were asked for post-game musings, and Bud and Nolan deliver.

Instead of continuing my ramblings, I've decided to let the poorly formatted pictures tell most of the story.

While Bud rambles on and on, Nolan seems to have come to grips with the fact that this is the least favorite part of his job.

Might as well look interested.

All the reporting you'll ever need on MJ's daughter

Photo from Twitter: The #1 source

This week, The Post-Standard "broke" a story about how Michael Jordan's daughter, @MickiJae, will be attending Syracuse next year. In an example of truly incredible reporting prowess, Geoff Herbert quoted her Twitter feed to tell us that Jordan's daughter does, in fact, use Twitter. Journalism!

Herbert also used social media reporting (read: stalking) to find out that Jordan is "like most teenage girls," and that she is LOLing at how big the Urban Outfitters store in Syracuse is.

Seriously, these are actual quotes from the story ...

Jasmine's also been using Twitter to talk with friends who'll be at SU in the fall with her, discussing possible plans to go to the New York State Fair or to see DJ Tiesto perform at the OnCenter, maybe even going shopping downtown in Armory Square. 

She also posted a message to her friend about getting Syracuse clothing -- but not necessarily just at the SU bookstore: "Haha yes!! Omg I'm raiding the store when we get there to get all the cute Victoria secret PINK clothes for SU lol." 

But here's the thing: Despite his remarkable reporting abilities, Geoff missed the real story from Jordan's tweets. Just look at these, for example:

Nancy Cantor, also known as “Chancy Nancy” or "Turn Left and Cough" (check sidebar pic), once deemed Newhouse III's architecture as a shining beacon of freedom of speech to the world with undulating waves that welcomed the city to nuzzle in symmetrically.

I have a feeling, despite my over exaggerated paraphrasing, that the only thing being nuzzled was a glass of Schnapps by Nancy.

As we move closer to the 2011 Syracuse football season, Lots of Pulp will be counting down the top 20 reasons to be excited for the new year. 

Last season was great for SU football. The Orange jumped from the basement of the Big East to bowl team and a relevant contender in the conference. 

Even Brian Bennett from the ESPN.com Big East Blog started believing in Marrone and his bunch. It seemed like SU would lose its status as the ultimate underdog, and even become a favorite in the conference. Oh noes!

Thankfully, someone is here to make sure that doesn't happen.

#17 - ANDREA ADELSON

Andrea Adelson
Friend or foe?

If you don't know who Andrea Adelson is, you probably will soon. Around these parts, she's best known for a couple of major mishaps related to her opinion of Syracuse football. Remember when she ranked Syracuse 104th in the nation heading into 2010? How about when she left the 5-2 (and recent winners at WVU) Orange out of her bowl projections last October?

See, Andrea doesn't seem to be a big fan of Syracuse, or, you know, facts.

This could go one of two ways, either of which should be pretty entertaining:

1. Adelson sees the light - She realizes she was wrong for underestimating SU last season and devotes her never-ending love to the Orange on the blog. She overcompensates by giving Syracuse more coverage on ESPN than in the past several years combined. As SU makes its way back into the national consciousness, Adelson is there every step of the way, and everyone is happy. More SU features, more positive coverage, a better platform for recruiting and more love from bowls at the end of the year.

2. Adelson gets pissed - Orange fans are not exactly a forgiving bunch of fans. Think Pat Dye. Hell, for some reason, more SU fans rooted for Jim Calhoun and UConn than Butler because of one Sweet 16 game in 2009. The odds are Adelson has received some hate mail since taking over for Bennett on the blog. She'll probably get even more the first time she makes a mistake involving the Orange. We don't know this woman, or whether she can take the heat. She could turn into the next Doug Gotleib and devote every moment of her life into bringing down Syracuse. 

Why is this fun? Because we LOVE to hate. And we love to be underestimated. People from Syracuse are blue-collared underdogs. That's why we love crotchety old Jim Boeheim, who always has a chip on his shoulder. That's why we love Doug Marrone's no-nonsense approach. 

You wanna doubt us?!! Well F*#@ you!!!

The New Code of Conduct

By now, you know that SU football players are committing crimes faster than former UConn player AJ Price can say “laptop.”

With 27 days left till the beginning of the 2011 Football season, and a need to finally have a full roster, Doug Marrone is tightening up his team's conduct policy. It's not BYU – you're still allowed caffeine – but things are going to be quite different:

Transportation will be provided by 4SU Taxi

• Most are outfitted with Playstations and DVD Players. There's your on board entertainment Mr. Sales.
• Tandem bicycles will be provided for others who do not opt for the taxis.

DARE classes are mandatory and are each Thursday night

• Led by the coaching staff, local law enforcement and Tyrone Wheatley as Daren the Lion.

The only placed you're allowed to eat off campus is Tully's – where only good times occur.

Friday nights will be team togetherness night. You will have the following options:

• Bologna and Gatorade social with the Marrone's.
• Styling your hair and re-enacting Risky Business at Charlie Loeb's.
• Twister with Chandler Jones...good luck
• Preparing for a post-football career in Small Business with Adam Harris.
• Dinner and a movie with hospitality and food service major Marquis Spruill

Saturday nights will consist of the entire team heading to Macky MacPherson's parents' house

• Watch tape of 1980s teams and play boggle.

While not attending any of these events, the SUper entourage system will be in effect. 

• All scholarship players must be accompanied at all times by two linemen (muscle), one team manager (designated driver) and one walk-on (fall guy).

These rules are non-negotiable.

Mookie Jones' Tweets and Dreams

Mookie Jones is an interesting man.

Last night I took a glance at my Twitter timeline and came across this gem, which stopped me in my tracks ...

@mookie21jonesMookie Todd Jones

I always wanted to live the Love & Basketball life but seem like that dream is killed

Wait, what???? 

***Note: Before you rip on me for having seen this movie, I'll freely admit it's a total chick flick. They throw in just enough basketball to try to disguise that fact, but it's really a girl movie through and through. But whatever, I watch chick movies sometimes, get over it.***

In case you forget the plot from this movie (don't pretend you didn't see it), here are some of the highlights from Wikipedia:

The film spans roughly thirteen years of friendship between childhood sweethearts Monica Wright and Quincy McCall. Monica and her family move to Los Angeles in 1981 from Atlanta, Georgia, and become acquainted with their new neighbors the McCalls, a wealthy family due to Quincy's father Zeke being the star shooting guard for the San Diego Clippers. Quincy and Monica are drawn to each other, sharing a love of basketball.

OK, sounds about right. Mookie loves basketball. All good so far.

The second quarter of the story begins in 1988, when both Monica and Quincy are the respective leaders of their high school teams. Scouts have taken clear notice of Quincy, who many see as one of top prospects in the country.

Still good. Mookie was a pretty highly-rated prospect. No problems ... yet.
