Week Nine With Brendan Carney

When I took the kid's to the birthday party at 2 pm it was still 3-3 against Cincinnati. But when the party was over, so was the game and there was Brendan being interviewed on the radio about the one he "shanked". It was this sort of game: • “What does the Orange offense do with the turnover …

Home to Louisville. Number six against number one hundred and six. Kinda. Gary had it right when he wrote: • “Syracuse played a tough game against a VERY good Louisville team. They never had a chance, but played like they could win.” • I am pleased to say that I almost swung a place in a box …
Week Seven With Brendan Carney

It was going so well at about nine minutes into the game. I had just secured a source of Unibroue's Maudite that I can keep to myself and, like many of you, was heading into Loblaws with the hope of finding a morsel of whisky cheddar when I heard on the radio that Syracuse was up 7-0. Later they …

Half way through the season and, well, I have to admit it. I snoozed through the game. What better way to spend an achy got-a-bug sorta Saturday...or Monday for that matter. I was with the game on 100.7 FM until the field goal for the Orange made it 7-3 which was a diappointment but no crisis …
Week Five With Brendan Carney

First, I have to admit that I was a little cranked when the "no memory card present" warning came up when I hit the camera's on button so you will have to work with me on the visuals. That being said, even with the sloppy play and the knowledge that the impending Big East games would not be as …
Week Four With Brendan Carney

OK, I have to admit I missed the game on TV as I was at the concert. And then I never got around to figuring out how Brendan did in the 34-14 win over Miami of Ohio. Our man does not appear in any of the reports I can find even though his performance was a notch above of last week. Most of the …
Week Three With Brendan Carney

Well, there is not much better than a win after eleven losses - unless it is an Arsenal win over Man U. Again the game was on "the Megaplex in Manland" - and was even followed while a 13 child birthday party flowed, screamed, ran and cried all around it. In a game that was really a show of skills …
Week Two With Brendan Carney

A bit of good luck yesterday with the Syracuse v. Iowa game as it was shown from the Carrier Dome on ABC. In the end Syracuse lost 20 to 13 but did so in double overtime after Iowa made a heroic defensive stand at the end zone which, through a series of penalties, gave Syracuse about 27 chances to …
Week One With Brendan Carney

Studious readers will recall that we have adopted Syracuse Orange kick-off kicker #47 Brendan Carney as our NCAA player of the season. Well, last night was the first game of the season and while Syracuse lost 20-10 to Wake Forest - and who the hell could like a football team named after trees - it …
Google Analytics...Again
Posted by on Monday, August 21, 2006 in - 2 comments
A while back I called Google Analytics "the most useless thing I have ever signed up for". That was when it first came out, froze a lot and made a lot of people unhappy. • Now, however, Craig has got me playing around with the thing and even though it really does not give me anything of use, it …
