Sam Bone Dean: Verse
SU controllin the rock, and its hot, like a potatoe
Put competition right out, jumpers dunkin the free throws
You best to bring ya A game, and look all the way alive
Especially when you got AO on the inside
All skills and pride cannot divide, it’s teamwork
Kris Joseph and Mookie Jones makin the dream work
Demolishin colleges home or away
If you want it, we will bring it to you any given game day
Andy Rautins like a beast with the threes, workin you up and down and all around the court takin leads
Crossovers with skills on time, led by Jim Boeheim
Takin it all the way to the top, SU in its prime, I’M
Feelin like a champ already
Like its time to cut the net and hit the lights drop the confetti
You will never find another team stronger than this,
SU accurate immaculant we just can’t miss.
Chorus: J.O.
B Triche, Wes J, AO on the flo,
Jim Boeheim run that 2-3 zone
Let’s gooo, (Ay Ay) Let’s gooo
B Triche, Wes J, AO on the flo,
Jim Boeheim run that 2-3 zone
Let’s gooo, (Ay Ay) Let’s gooo

J.O.: Verse 2
It starts with B Triche runnin the flo,
Number one in the nation runnin the 2-3 zone
We turn defense to offense just so you know.
Jardine hittin the threes, call it the Scoop Show
This is the 315, now let us blow ya mind
Been waitin all this time, you need to get on our side
Nd vybe, we stride, to be number 1 nation-wide
Hop on the bandwagon and let’s ride
Ain’t eva satisifed, we neva stop til we’ve won it
Wes Cash J’s at the bank, because he’s so monay
Ballin from our head to our feet, SU is a nightmare, and now its time for you to go to sleep
Rick Jackson in action dont think that hes passin, Its dunk after dunk or until the crowd is reactin
It’s happenin, Whats this? Its a steal from Scoop! Rick pass, Triche lob, Wes J with the alley-oop!
Chorus: J.O.

Great day to live in Washington DC!
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
What a wonderful feeling to stroll through the streets of Georgetown this morning rocking a bright Orange Syracuse scarf. The looks I got were classic!
Hopefully, the Orange will come down to DC and really put it to JT III and his over-ranked Hoyas one more time.
Weekend matchups. Will Cuse move up in the rankings?
Thursday, January 21st, 2010There are a ton of difficult matchups this weekend and the Orange have a legitimate chance to move up a few spots in the rankings. Will there be a #1 next to Syracuse University when the polls come out Monday?!
Here are my predictions…Do you agree?
#1 Texas (17-1, 3-1 Big 12) vs #21 Connecticut (12-6, 3-3 Big East) *CBS* 4:00 PM – One thing we do know is that Calhoun won’t be on the sidelines. They’re coming off an emotional win at home on Wednesday night. Will they be able to match up against a physical Texas team that already has one loss on the road this week? UCONN Wins.
Arkansas (8-9, 1-1 SEC) vs #2 Kentucky (18-0, 3-0 SEC) *ESPN 360* 4:00 PM – John Wall scores 45 points. Kentucky wins.
#3 Kansas (17-1, 3-0 Big 12) vs Iowa St (12-6, 1-2 Big 12) *ESPN* 2:00 PM – It would be a different story if Iowa State still had Wes Johnson. Kansas wins.
#4 Villanova (17-1, 6-0 Big East) vs St. John’s (12-6, 2-4 Big East) *ESPN* 12:00 PM – I feel like Scotty Reynolds has been playing for Nova since the early 90’s. Villanova has way too much firepower. NOVA wins.
Marquette (11-7, 2-4 Big East) vs #5 Syracuse (18-1, 5-1 Big East) *ESPNU* 2:00 PM – It’s always great coming home to the Dome after winning 3 on the road. Wes Johnson and Andy Rautins light it up in front of a huge crowd this Saturday. CUSE wins.
#6 Duke (15-3, 3-2 ACC) vs #16 Clemson (15-4, 3-2 ACC) *ESPN* 9:00 PM – I don’t like Duke. I don’t like UNC. Clemson wins.
#7 Michigan St (16-3, 6-0 Big Ten) vs Minnesota (12-6, 3-3 Big Ten) *CBS* 12:00 PM – Michigan St has a perfect record in conference play this season. MSU win
#25 Ohio St (14-5, 4-3 Big Ten) vs #12 West Virginia (14-3, 4-2 Big East) *CBS* 2:00 PM – Big East continues to dominate outside the conference. WVU needs this win like Bobby Huggins needs his scotch. WVU wins.
Michigan (10-8, 3-3 Big Ten) vs #15 Purdue (15-3, 3-3 Big Ten) *ESPN* 4:00 PM – Purdue has to be the most overrated team in the country. Michigan wins.
Breaking News – Mookie Jones’ apartment burglarized
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Breaking news from the Post Standard. At least nobody was injured during the break-in. A little strange that a picture of his 1 year old daughter was removed from the home….Baby mama?
Syracuse University basketball player Mookie Jones’ apartment burglarized while he plays at Rutgers
By Robert A. Baker / The Post-Standard

Syracuse, NY — Syracuse University basketball player Theodore “Mookie” Jones’ apartment was burglarized while he was at Rutgers University, where he played a season-high 22 minutes and scored 11 points Wednesday night.
Hours before the game, a friend called to tell him of the break-in at his on-campus apartment. A picture of his 1-year-old daughter was removed from a wall and taken, along with a television, video game player and video games, police said.
Jones, 19, met with police at 1 a.m. today, after he returned with the team from the game, police records state. Jones told police he was unable to lock the apartment before he traveled with the team to New Jersey on Tuesday because he lost his key.
Because it was unlocked, a friend was checking his apartment every couple of hours while he was gone, Jones told police.
Jones’ roommates were on winter break, but none of their items appeared missing, Jones said.
Orange take on the Scarlet Knights – 7:30PM
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010The Orange begin a 3 game road trip against Rutgers this evening in Piscataway, NJ. Hopefully they can find a rhythm early and exploit Rutgers inexperienced big men. If Rutgers tries to double up down low that will leave Rautins open to drain the three ball (5 for 11 from 3-point range over his past two games). With a matchup against WVU on Saturday we are going to need all the fire power we can get! Lets consider this a warm up…I hope!
Orange Defeat Tigers 74-57
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010Syracuse came out slow, but was able to right the ship in the second half, finishing strong to beat Memphis by 17. Johnson put up 19 and was the Orange’s leading scorer. Both Johnson and Jackson pulled down 7 boards tonight, Arinze had 8 and Joseph led the Orange with 9. Joseph made a strong case for non-starting player of the game scoring 15 points and going 7-8 from the line.
The Orange defense stepped up in second half limiting the Tigers to just 25 points. Syracuse pulled away in the second half outscoring Memphis by 17 and never looked back.
Syracuse hosts the USF Bulls on Sunday. The games at 2pm.
