FB | HIGH HOPES: Never mind the 1-5 record. Syracuse heads into South Florida with plenty of confidence
By Jared Diamond
Cameron Dantley doesn't sound like the quarterback of a beleaguered football team. As far as the junior is concerned, Syracuse is poised to break out. "It's crazy because we all know it's going to happen," Dantley said. "It's going to be that quick, and it's going to happen.
BULLDOZED: Syracuse has no answer for Grothe in 45-13 loss at South Florida
By Jared Diamond
TAMPA, Fla. - Greg Robinson didn't try to pinpoint or explain why Matt Grothe was so dominant against Syracuse. Frankly, he didn't have to. "Grothe's Grothe, man," said Robinson, Syracuse's head coach. "He's a good football player." Talk about an understatement.
MBB | Jardine ailed by stress fracture, will redshirt 2008-09 season
By John Clayton
Scoop Jardine kept playing, even as Syracuse's season wound down and the pain in his left shin sharpened. How could he stop? With the Orange basketball roster already pared down by injuries, Jardine's presence in the backcourt was essential. Now, it looks like Jardine's doggedness will cost him the entire 2008-09 season.
WLAX | Kids' pleas help coax Gait out of retirement
By Meredith Galante
Two weeks ago, Gary Gait received a phone call from Regy Thorpe with a surprising proposition. Thorpe, the general manger of the Rochester Knighthawks lacrosse team, told Gait he had just lost one of his star players.

MSOC | Depth allows SU to shuffle players in, out of lineup
By Michael Bonner
Tom Perevegyencev prepared differently for Syracuse's men's soccer game against Rutgers Saturday. Twelve games into the season, the SU forward started his first game. Perevegyencev usually enters the game midway through the first half, having the luxury of scouting his opponent before entering.
WHOC | Another road trip equals more bonding time for Orange
By John Sutton
Road games take a toll on a team. The late-night travel, the long bus rides, the different hotel rooms, can wear down a team during the season. The Syracuse women's ice hockey team knows exactly how this feels only five games into its history. Syracuse (0-5, 0-2) will finish its season-opening seven-game road trip this weekend at Quinnipiac.
WSOC | With four games to go, hunt for Big East berth intensifies
By Jen McCaffrey
