Orange linebacker Cater arrested, off team

Another “snatch and grab” plays victim to the Syracuse Orange. Freshman linebacker Malcolm Cater was kicked-off the team this weekend for burglary, grand larceny, and petit larceny. According to the police report, Cater was arrested Saturday morning for burglarizing two apartments on Friday night and one apartment over Thanksgiving break. Over the weekend, Cater was seen by several witnesses carrying a flat-screen television at 3 a.m. to his 120 Lamreth Lane apartment. A witness was suspicious and contacted the...

The Orange lose WR Weaver

Syracuse (1-1) football seems to be stuck in a never ending tailspin. The latest bad news for the Orange is wide receiver Aaron Weaver will miss the rest of the season due to a torn ACL. The senior wide out injured his right knee during Tuesday’s practice in a non-contact drill. Weaver was a transfer from Hofstra University (Hofstra dropped football in 2009) who quickly rose to the top of the depth chart with his solid hands. Coach Doug...

The Orange get some fresh pulp

‘Cuse fans got some comforting news today as star running back Delone Carter returns to the field as Syracuse kicks-off preseason practice. Carter was suspended back in April for his involvement in an on campus one-punch brawl with a fellow student in late February. With his misdemeanor assault charges pending, there was doubt about Carter’s future. Fortunately for Carter, Syracuse began practice. With the lack of quality players, coach Doug Marrone quickly realized that he is short in the...

Marrone’s woes grow

If it weren’t for bad luck, Syracuse would have none. Doug Marrone not only saw 21 players leave the program in his first season as head coach, but so far he has lost seven players to season ending injuries. It looks like that number is going to grow by two. Today, Marrone announced that sophomore kick returner Mike Jones and senior snapper/TE Dalton Phillips are both done for the season as a result of injuries sustained during the Louisville...

‘Cuse to move forward without WR Mike Williams

This just in, Syracuse’s WR Mike Williams has quit the team. Throughout his roller coaster career at Syracuse, he has always been the Orange’s #1 receiver with sure hands. After missing last season because of academic reasons, he returned this season in true form. Before he quit the team, he was the leading receiver (even with a game suspension) with 49 receptions for 746 yards and six touchdowns. The Orange are already in an offensive slump and with the absence of Williams, Greg...

‘Cuse’s offense doesn’t exist, how long will Paulus?

It’s not looking good for Syracuse fans midway through the season. The Orange are 2-4 and 0-2 in conference play. The offense is struggling and most notably the team cannot convert on third down. The QB play is also questionable as Greg Paulus has thrown 6 INTs in the past 2 games. Most recently against the Mountaineers, Paulus played so poorly that he was benched in the second half of the 34-13 defeat. Nevertheless, coach Doug Marrone has confidence in his...

Paulus Gets a “C”

Greg Paulus must be a special person. Not only was he named the starting quarterback last week for the Orange, but the team just voted Paulus as one of four team captains. Paulus is no stranger to the responsibilities of being captain as he was an All-American two time captain for Coach K and Duke. Paulus is clearly making a solid impression with his coaches and teammates and is taking advantage of his final year of college eligibility. From...

LB Hines turns in his locker key

Doug Marrone is facing a daunting challenge as head coach of Syracuse. It appears his challenge just got a little harder. This past week, JUCO transfer Derek Hines unexpectedly packed up his bags and left the program after four practices. The school did not release why he left, but some say he misses his hometown of Orange, California which doesn’t compare to the likes of downtown Syracuse. Hines was a projected starter at weakside linebacker. This presents problems, as...
