Thanks Gerry. Man that’s great news. Need the final piece. 

I am very gruntled 

Excellent news.

Syracuse is a good stepping stone to better competition without us facing a really strong opponent in our first game with Mark.

Syracuse is undefeated, but it won at home by only 2 over Colgate and needed 2 OT to beat Youngstown State.

Not to mention they only won by 4 at home against someone named Le Moyne.

Yep.  P5 and not expected to challenge for bubble status.

But not in the category of MVSU or Chicago State, so a definite step up in level of competition.

Eddie Lampkin is a load in the middle. 

@GQ03 My wife went to Le Moyne. It's a Jesuit college in Syracuse.

I'm not gonna lie, first time I heard of it I thought it was a Culinary Arts trade school. 

They have a pretty good baseball team. For a while it was moved to DI because they kept beating the smaller schools so badly.

I had a roommate in Austin while I was in law school who left to enter the CIA.

The Culinary Institute of America. 

Former Texas target (they should have taken) Donnie Freeman getting a lot of NBA first round mock's right now.

Looks like Rodney Terry still doesn't know how to coach offense.

The contrast to what Hurley is doing.... wasn't great. 

I couldn't watch the game and turned it off after about 10 mins, UConn was moving the ball and looked like a team.  Texas looked like every play was 1 player trying to do something on his own with not much movement.
