By Zach Schonbrun
During the summer, in the month or so between spring practice and July workouts, Curtis Brinkley would go home to Philadelphia and stick his head into various local youth football camps at his former high school or in the area. He'd just talk to the kids, often about nothing, sometimes about life, sometimes about Syracuse, sometimes about football, sometimes about.
WBB | Hot-shooting Buckeyes too much for SU
By Conor Orr
Syracuse did everything by the book Wednesday night. The Orange out-rebounded its opponent, played tough defense and made its free throws. But SU didn't take one factor into consideration: Ohio State simply couldn't miss. The No. 17 Buckeyes' (3-0) sharp-shooting - 45 percent for the game, 55 percent in the second half - lifted Ohio State past Syracuse, 78-71, at Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio, Wednesday night.

By Conor Orr
Kahli Vojkovic sat most of her first season at Syracuse. She couldn't quite grasp the style of play.

National | Diversity still lacking in college football coaching
By Didier Morais
Amidst all the debate over the Bowl Championship Series postseason system, one pressing flaw with the college game has become more acute of late. Coming into this season, six black coaches led major college football programs. That changed in early November, with the dismissals of Tyrone Willingham at Washington and Ron Prince at Kansas State.
FB | Robinson's assistants facing uncertain future at Syracuse
By Jared Diamond
Mitch Browning knows what's probably coming. As much as he may want to ignore the truth, a lot could change for Browning in the not-too-distant future. No sense in denying the inevitable.
