The Hits Just Keep Onnnnn Comin'


The Syracuse football team already lost Mike Williams, now they'll be without the services of starting defensive end Brandon Gilbeaux.

According to Donnie Webb, the 6-foot-3, 271 pound junior has been suspended by the university for academic issues. Yeah, the same reason that Williams was suspended by the school a few weeks ago.

Now losing Gilbeaux isn't on the same level as losing the best player on the team and arguably the top receiver in the Big East. But the Orange can't afford to be losing starters because well, there just isn't a whole lot of talent to choose from. Slated behind Gilbeaux in the post-spring depth chart is redshirt freshman Lamar Middleton.

Just when you thought things couldn't get worse for this team. Is there ever going to be something positive about this team in the news? Throw me a bone here. We're still more than two months from the opening of the season and I'm already discouraged.

I'm going to bang my head on the wall now.
