Countdown to Syracuse: 4 days

That's the fact:

Syracuse is known for its sports broadcasting program. Good thing it isn't known for its geography school. According to the Syracuse football records at suathletics.com, the Orange played Wisconsin in Eau Claire, Minnesota in Duluth, Nebraska in Kearney, Tennessee in Chattanooga and North Carolina in Asheville. For those keeping score at Syracuse, the actual cities are Madison, Minneapolis, Lincoln, Knoxville and Chapel Hill.

Probably the influence of Nancy Cantor. I hope Coach Zook dons a chief's head dress for Saturday's game.
