brothers Former SU teammates Nassib, Pugh bring friendship to Giants, live out NFL dream together

By Phil D’Abbraccio asst. sports editor

AST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Justin Pugh would always fall asleep first.

After 6 a.m. Friday workouts during the summer while taking classes at Syracuse, Ryan Nassib took the passenger seat and Pugh

orange in the apple part 2 of 3 would sprawl out in the backseat of Joe Nassib’s car for the drive down from Syracuse to the outskirts of Philadelphia.

For the hour and a half Nassib and Pugh weren’t sleeping during the trip, they’d talk about Philadelphia sports. The Orange’s upcoming season and SU stories also came up. Bruce Springsteen was the only music played out of the car’s speakers.

Nassib and Pugh became more than teammates. More than friends, too.

“Justin’s my left tackle. If you ever play quarterback, you know that your left tackle has to be your best buddy,” Nassib said. “He’s more like a brother to me now.”

Never in a million years, Nassib said, did he expect to wear the same uniform as Pugh after their time at Syracuse. The two seniors said their goodbyes on the bus after Syracuse’s Pinstripe Bowl victory over West Virginia in December 2012.

They knew they would still see each other as they prepared for the 2013 NFL Draft in April, but without Syracuse football, they thought their friendship would never be the same.

But as the fourth round unfolded two days after the New York Giants selected Pugh with the 19th overall pick in the draft, Pugh received a text

Students, administrators make plans for campus forum

By Brett Samuels asst. news editor

A group of student leaders and university administrators will meet Wednesday to further discuss plans for the Oct. 2 forum on diversity, inclusion and respect.

The group was formed after Hanna Strong, a Syracuse Univer-

sity women’s soccer player, was videotaped using racial and homophobic slurs. The video quickly spread on Twitter and Strong was indefinitely suspended from the soccer team.

The group held its first in-person meeting on Sept. 17. In addition to the students at the meeting, Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric

Spina and Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz asked several administrators to attend as well.

Student members of the group included: • Student Association President Boris Gresely • Graduate Student Organization President Patrick Neary

• Senior Class Marshal Ronald Taylor • SA’s Director of Student Engage ment Brittany Moore • Members of the SU’s chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Administrators who attended the meeting included: • Kantrowitz • Dean of Hendricks Chapel

Sexual violence team director aids students

By Jesse Nichols staff writer

In times of crisis, Susan Pasco stays rooted in the present moment.

As a therapist and director of the Sexual and Relationship Violence Response Team, Pasco said this practice helps her be open when counseling students through periods of trauma.

“You have to stay calm and stay focused on what’s going on in the present,” she said.

Pasco has been practicing these techniques for 25 years, initially in the Syracuse University Rape Advocacy, Prevention and Education Center and then as the associate director of the counseling center. This year, Pasco said SU asked her to lead the new team in tackling issues related to sexual assault.

“I felt an obligation to accept,” said Pasco. “(And) felt it was important to have a specialized and diverse team of individuals who had the expertise.”

Pasco said the newly formed team is diverse not only in gender but in race, ethnicity and sexual orientation. This helps the team provide therapy for all sectors of the community, particularly

ones facing greater marginalization.

But after the controversy surrounding the closing of the Advocacy Center, Pasco said there is greater confusion in the community than ever.

“I’ve witnessed and sympathize with the pain and loss that many of our campus members have experienced during these recent changes,” Pasco said.

Pasco said in response, she is working to provide services including both emotional support as well as advocacy.

“We’re always doing advocacy work as therapists,” Pasco said. “Because advocacy can also mean empowering people to make changes in their lives.”

And it’s empowerment that inspires Pasco, reaffirming her commitment to serve the Syracuse community.

As the campus adjusts to the changes regarding the shift in service from the Advocacy Center to the Sexual and Relationship Violence Response Team, Pasco said she needs to call upon this inspiration to move toward success.

“I’m hopeful that despite the recent controversy that we will come out of this with a stronger and broader coalition,” Pasco said. jlnich02@syr.edu

US Airstrikes against Islamic State

By Sara Swann contributing writer

The United States and its world partners have begun launching airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria. The strikes come after President Barack Obama promised in a prime-time TV speech that he would authorize the attacks to combat the threat posed by the Islamic State group.

Networking, not internships, is the most effective way to get a job following graduation, according to a recently-released 2013 placement report conducted by Syracuse University’s Center for Career Services.

Career Services surveyed 3,039 SU 2013 graduates as a whole and then broke down the results based on each of the nine schools and colleges.

The placement report asked students whether or not they were employed, and if so, how long after graduation they secured their job,

Students line up for MetLife tickets

By Justin Mattingly asst. news editor

Only eight free bus vouchers remain for Syracuse University students who want to travel to MetLife Stadium to watch Syracuse play the University of Notre Dame on Saturday night.

Students began lining up out-

side the Carrier Dome as early as midnight on Monday as temperatures dipped below 50 degrees.

There were 200 bus vouchers available to student season ticket holders on Tuesday, and about 130 students were there at 6:45 a.m. when the Carrier Dome Box Office opened.

Students were allowed into the

Dome before receiving instructions as to how the tickets would be distributed. Five ticket windows were open in the Carrier Dome Box Office. The first set of students was allowed to go to the ticket windows to claim their vouchers and tickets just before 7 a.m. The box office will reopen Wednesday at 8 a.m. and

Christie could be leading candidate after new Bridgegate report

N

ew Jersey governor and presidential hopeful Chris Christie received some very good news this Thursday. The New York Daily News reported that the U.S. Justice Department has so far found no evidence that Christie knew of the Bridgegate traffic lane closures in advance.

This news, regarding one of Christie’s biggest weaknesses in the run up to the 2016 presidential election, makes him one of the strongest candidates and could propel him to the head of the pack for the nomination.

In early September of 2013, two of the three traffic lanes in Fort Lee, New Jersey that connected to the George Washington Bridge and New York City were closed. Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich did not support Christie in the 2013 gubernatorial election. The lane closures were believed to be motivated by political retribution against Sokolich.

From the start, Christie has insisted that he had no knowledge of the closure and it seems that he has been honest. This confir-

CHRIS PULLIAM COOL, CALM, CONSERVATIVE

mation of political honesty is the equivalent to a rainbow after a bad rainstorm. Before Bridgegate, Christie was seen as the preeminent favorite for the GOP nomination. After Bridgegate, he was stuck in the crowded field of Republican presidential candidates.

Now that Bridegate seems to have passed, or at least has the potential to pass in the future, Christie could easily break away from his Republican competitors.

His no-nonsense demeanor and straightforward style are very appealing to the average voter who is fed up with dealing with stereotypical politicians. But Christie is seen as a Republican in name only by a significant portion of the far right-wing GOP base.

Despite this perceived moderate image, Christie will do very well in the primaries because he may end up being the best candi-

date — or at least the best candidate to beat Hillary Clinton, likely the Democratic contender. He has good appeal to Independent voters while also putting the Democratic stronghold of New Jersey into play. He is the kind of Republican that a national electorate could get behind.

Christie is not the ideal hard-line conservative by any stretch of the imagination, but the GOP needs to focus on winning, rather than who is the most right-wing candidate.

Though I would prefer someone more conservative, winning should be the No. 1 goal, especially if we face Clinton in 2016.

Many conservatives would cry foul because I am defending a moderate establishment candidate. Judging from the likes of Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney, trying to push a moderate conservative into the White House never seems to pan out, as those candidates all lost the general election in 1996, 2008 and 2012, respectively. However, their moderate credentials had little to do with their defeats. Other factors were in play.

The economy was doing well in 1996, making the reelection of sitting President Bill Clinton almost a sure thing. And then in 2008, Republicans were blamed for the recession of 2007–08. Considering this recession was historically bad and the democrats had a young and captivating orator named Barack Obama to come and save the U.S., the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan lost the presidential election of 2008. And then the economy started to recover by 2012, which gave Obama an advantage that Romney could not overcome.

Good conservative policy cannot influence this country until we have the power to enact it. Bridgegate is Christie’s biggest weakness and that seems to have largely gone away.

The former mark on his reputation and his perceived lack of conservatism should not cloud the reality that he is very electable and that he could lead the Republican Party into the White House.

Cyrus,Watson display contrasting sides of millennial spectrum

W

ithin the past week, we saw Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson represent two opposite sides of the millennial spectrum.

On one side, there’s Cyrus, who sparked outrage on Sept. 16 when her backup dancers spanked her artificially inflated butt with a Mexican flag. And on the other side, there’s Watson, the United Nation’s Women’s Global Goodwill Ambassador. Watson gave a speech on gender equality and feminism this weekend, explaining that being a feminist does not necessarily mean being anti-male.

These two celebrities exemplify the positive and the negative characteristics of our generation. When it comes to choosing sides, millennials should stray away from embodying characteristics exemplified by Cyrus’ recent performance, and instead focus on leaning towards Watson’s side of the spectrum.

TAMARA RASAMNY FOREVER YOUNG

Since numerous news outlets already tend to stress the negative stereotypes many millennials are held to, Cyrus’ latest actions further taint our generation’s image.

During Cyrus’ performance — which was on Mexico’s Independence Day — she showed extreme disrespect toward an entire country, population and culture when she decided to use a flag as one of her controversial props. On the other hand, Watson exemplified extreme professionalism and grace when she spoke during her speech for the HeForShe campaign.

As Cyrus angered many, Watson received overwhelming praise. Watson explained how it is extremely important for men to partici-

pate in gender equality as well. Watson then proceeded to extend a “formal invitation” to men everywhere, noting that “gender equality is (their) issue too.”

Those who see nothing wrong with Cyrus’ flag performance are only fueling the negative perspectives many people already have of millennials. While other generations describe millennials as disrespectful, Cyrus’ performance only gives them more reasons to do so.

According to a Monday CNN article, Mexican State Rep. Francisco Treviño spoke out about the pop star’s performance and said that he felt “truly offended and annoyed by the fact that a foreign artist feels like she can come here and make fun of and mock (Mexico’s) national flag on Independence Day.” While Cyrus’ twerking and flag combination shocks and angers, Watson’s wise words inspire and motivate. And while one national leader

condemned Cyrus’ actions, other national leaders applauded Watson for her speech. Watson’s speech in which she demanded there be action taken in the HeForShe campaign, asking “if not me, who? If not now, when?” is a sharp contrast to Cyrus’ complete disregard for a national symbol.

Watson’s influential speech pushes millennials to strive for an equal and fair representation of the sexes. Cyrus’ actions detract from the positive aspects of our generation. Instead of looking up to someone who blatantly disrespected an entire population and its culture, millennials should discourage Cyrus’ characteristics and move towards the side of the millennial spectrum that Watson exemplifies.

editorial board

SU did not consider entire student body when raising ID prices Syracuse University did not consider its entire student body when making the decision to add a new, more expensive technology feature to Syracuse University ID cards.

Since the new technology can only be used in Dineen Hall and the Green Data Center, a majority of students will only be affected by this change when they have to replace their ID card for a steeper price. The university should update all of its buildings so the technology is used, or it should not make all

students pay a greater price for replacement ID cards.

Students must now pay $25 for their first replacement ID, and then $40 for replacements after that, which are $10 and $15 increases from last year, respectively.

The increase in price is due to the cost of a radio-frequency chip that allows students and faculty to enter locked doors without having to take out their ID cards. Currently, the only two places on campus that use this

technology are Dineen Hall and the Green Data Center.

If the technology was being applied to central locations on campus, such as Schine Student Center or Bird Library, forcing all students to have new ID cards would be more logical.

To rationalize the increased price of ID cards, SU should have concrete goals for implementing the technology in all buildings on campus where it is needed. If the university did not have the option to only distribute

the new ID cards to the students and faculty that required the cards, it should have developed a timeline to update all of the buildings on campus with the new technology.

It isn’t fair to charge more money than previous years if students do lose their cards when the reason for the increase does not affect most of the university. SU should consider its whole student population when making decisions like these, and it should start updating all campus buildings.

letter to the editor

University should install breathalyzers Bravo to the 3rd annual BE Wise event held to educate people about alcohol poisoning and increase alcohol awareness. Over time, these gentler harm reduction programs have a major impact via slow and progressive changes in social norms.

To wit, since 1964, each Surgeon General has said that smoking tobacco, a behavior with a high addiction rate, was hazardous to health. During most of those five decades, smoking cessation aids such as nicotine gum and patches were not available. Yet that persistent message helped lower the percent of young adult (18–24) smokers from over 50 percent to less than 20 percent and increased the percent of young adults that never used from 50 percent to

over 70 percent. All this occurred without the arrest or incarceration of a single tobacco grower, user or seller. So much for the War on Drugs approach.

However, as an addiction psychiatrist, I believe there is another policy that could be implemented which would be more quickly effective with respect to alcohol use and behavior.

The university could promote/ install alcohol breathalyzers in every living facility, not for any disciplinary reason or tracking, but so that students who come home from a night of drinking could get an estimate of their blood-alcohol level. This would enable them to see whether or not, for example, their level was over the limit for driving while intoxicated or if their alcohol level approached the area where

alcohol poisoning and high risk negative behaviors become much more frequent. It would also alert some to their genetic tolerance for alcohol.

Students would start to see the relationship between their blood-alcohol level, behavior and perceived intoxication. Then they could balance those effects with the positive effects of alcohol, e.g. anxiety and shame reduction, and start practicing effective, informed consent and harm reduction.

College is for education. Trust students to voluntarily get their personal data. They’ll do the math.

Reports could refute skeptics’ opposition to climate change reform

C

ombating climate change has been consistently gaining momentum for the last few years, but recent reports may hold the best news yet for this pivotal movement.

Reports released last week in advance of the Tuesday UN Climate Summit from the New Climate Economy Project and the International Monetary Fund have emphasized the fact that combating climate change will not only be cost-effective, but could even benefit the economy more than continuing business as usual.

This is fantastic news, as the economic effects of limiting carbon emissions and investing in alternative energy has been heavily scrutinized by those opposed to widespread climate reform. These reports could, and hopefully will, refute the claims that drastic reworking of the fossil fuel industry will negatively

affect our economy.

The crux of the New Climate Economy Report argument reads like this: over the next 15 years, the world will have to spend $90 trillion dollars on urban development, land use and energy systems. This money can either be invested in existing systems already responsible for our current environment, or used to support a low-carbon future.

The report outlines three major areas of opportunity. The first involves ending fossil fuel subsidies, implementing a carbon tax and emphasizing the growth of alternative energy industries.

Secondly, investing in public infrastructure, which is both aging Web Developer Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. Feature Editor Asst. Feature Editor Asst.

and energy inefficient.

Lastly, increasing support for low-carbon innovators is crucial.

This includes, but is not limited to, developing stronger patent protections and additional public spending on alternative energy research and development.

These alterations would not only help fight climate change, but would also spur economic growth.

Global leaders “realize there is serious risk of climate change in the future,” said Felipe Calderon, the former president of Mexico and chair of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, in a Sept. 16 Washington Post article. “However, there is a general perception that taking responsible actions in order to tackle climate change could reduce economic growth and the creation of jobs or other goals.

“Yes, it is possible to get economic

growth and tackle climate change,” Calderon said in the article.

The IMF report goes into detail about large co-benefits of reducing carbon emissions. These are additional positives from what would be an already positive switch. The IMF identifies the largest of these co-benefits as improving public health. Burning coal causes many respiratory ailments, thus increasing medical expenses.

For an extreme case examine China, whose government, according to a Sept. 20 New York Times article, “is deeply concerned about worsening local air pollution, which contributed to an estimated 1.2 million premature deaths in 2010.”

These co-benefits help to refute the popular argument that carbon pricing will be futile without a global consensus. Even without universal agreement, protecting the well-being

of its citizens through intelligent public policy is something that individual governments should no longer shy away from.

It is an exciting yet equally pivotal time for the climate movement. The People’s Climate March preluding the UN Climate Summit in New York City has generated widespread awareness of our world’s current outlook. The climate movement is receiving an enormous momentous boost as the extremely important 2015 Climate Change Conference in Paris looms large.

This, coupled with these two recent economic reports, should leave skeptics of climate change no excuse to ignore the facts, and should give us hope for a greener future.

Centro to create free app to track on, off-campus buses

By Rawan Ashoor contributing writer

Centro has plans to release a free app next spring that will track the location of on- and off-campus buses.

The app has been in development for the last two months and will be available in the iTunes store when it’s released, said Steve Koegel, vice president for business development and corporate communications at Centro. Centro hired Alesig Consulting to develop the app for them, and they are still in the early stages and expect that it will take a couple of months to complete.

Allan Breese, director of business and facilities maintenance services at Syracuse University, said one of the main functions of

from page 3

tickets and vouchers are now available to non-student ticket holders.

The game, which pits SU against No. 8 Notre Dame, is being broadcast on ABC as its Saturday night prime-time game. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Otto’s Army President Sean Fernandez said the late kickoff is more of a reason for SU students to go to the game, as SU football doesn’t usually get the chance to play in prime time. However, Fernandez said the fact that it’s a night game and the estimated time of arrival back to Syracuse are possibly reasons

the app is allowing students to track the route of various buses.

“After you set the app up on your phone, you will be able to put in a route number and be able to see where the bus is on the route,” Breese said.

Parking and transit services are supportive of the developing app, Breese added.

The app is particularly convenient for students who live on South Campus and ride the buses everyday to get to classes, Breese said.

One of the advantages of the app is that it will cut down on the amount of time students spend waiting for the bus, he said.

“Let’s say you are a student on South Campus — you know that the bus is three minutes away and you can be there in one minute.

That’s just one example,” Breese said.

Rina Matsuno-Kankhetr, a junior international relations major, said the app would make it less hectic to catch the bus.

“I’ve definitely had multiple occasions where I had to sprint to the bus stop from my apartment when the buses were pulling up,” she said.

Matsuno-Kankhetr said she thought it would be great if the app comes with an alert system that would prevent her from running for the bus.

Samantha Linnett, a junior public relations and policy studies dual major, said that the app would be particularly useful with the Syracuse winter approaching soon.

“I think that it would be extremely helpful, especially when it’s cold, to not have to wait outside so long for the bus, because you don’t

know when it’s coming — the app could just tell you when the bus is there and you could go out accordingly,” Linnett said.

Maryangel Rodriguez, a junior international relations major, said the app is necessary because the current system isn’t as informative as it could be.

“I think it’s a good idea because the bus shelter doesn’t have a working system,” she said. “I would like to be able to keep track of when the bus is coming, especially in the colder months.”

Koegel said that most companies are looking for new and easier ways to reach consumers.

“This is a day and age where all companies providing services are looking to get on the mobile platform,” Koegel said.

why the tickets didn’t immediately sell out.

Students gathered outside of Gate B of the

out from their dorm to ensure a front spot.

“We’ve been scoping it out since 9 or 10 p.m. from (our floor on Sadler),” said Matthew Deeb, a freshman management and information management and technology dual major.

Deeb was accompanied by fellow freshmen Sarah Yelle, a biology major, and Matt Lolarga, a mechanical engineering major.

For some students, a good experience during their first trip to MetLife made them want to go back.

“As a freshman I came out last year and we went down and it was a lot of fun, so I decided to come out and do it again,” said Brent Hiller, an undeclared sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Hiller, a New York Giants fan, said he got to the Carrier Dome around 4:50 a.m. and is looking forward to seeing MetLife Stadium, where the New York Giants and the New York Jets play their home games.

Shannon Walsh, a sophomore psychology and policy studies dual major, walked from South Campus at 4:30 a.m. to get to Gate B. Walsh also went to MetLife last year to see Syracuse play Pennsylvania State University.

“As a freshman, the energy of everyone camping out and waiting for tickets was awesome, so I decided to come again,” she said.

Walsh said coming out early in the morn-

ing was worth it, as she had the opportunity to do something she never thought she’d do.

“I grew up a Notre Dame fan, but I’m definitely rooting for ‘Cuse,” she said. “But it will be fun to root against somebody who I never thought I’d root against.”

Nicole Hansen, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism major, was also a camper who grew up a Notre Dame fan. Hansen said she will be rooting for Syracuse on Saturday, but is excited to see the Irish play.

The process went smoothly overall except for a minor incident where a student briefly left the line and some other students moved his mattress and belongings. The student eventually found his mattress and belongings one level up by Gate K after he got a voucher and ticket.

The buses to East Rutherford will depart from the Schine Student Center at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Prior to the game, SU Athletics is hosting New York’s College Team Ultimate Tailgate at the Bud Light Plaza inside the MetLife Stadium gates.

Otto’s Army previously took buses to SU football games at MetLife Stadium in 2012 and 2013, when SU played University of Southern California and Penn State, respectively.

C

ounty Executive Joanie Mahoney has proposed a budget for 2015 that takes steps toward lowering taxes in Onondaga County.

The budget, which was proposed on Sept.

15, includes decreasing property taxes and increasing sewer and water fees.

Danny Liedka, former East Syracuse mayor and now the representative for the 7th district in the Onondaga County Legislature, said the budget is a great starting point for decreasing taxes.

“The bottom line is the tax rate continues to go down in levels last seen in the 1980s,” Liedka said.

He added that property taxes should

decrease by one percent after the new budget is passed.

The legislature holds public hearings every weekday where each department presents their budget. Then they convene at the end of each week and systematically go through the budget and proposed changes, and break it down piece by piece, Liedka said.

After Mahoney presented the budget last week, the legislature budget analysts looked over it individually. Then the legislators take notes and compile a list of changes. The process concludes with two weeks of public hearings followed by an Oct. 9 presentation of the tentative county budget, as amended by the Ways and Means Committee, according to the proposed budget.

The budget resolutions will be passed at a public hearing on Oct. 14, where the budget will

be in its final stage, Liedka said.

According to the proposed budget, sewer fees are predicted to increase by 7.36 percent.

The water rate per thousands of gallons per month is also estimated to reach $1.16 in 2015 for 30 million gallons, in comparison to the $1.03 it is currently.

“This is just a proposed budget, nothing is final,” said Deborah Maturo, clerk of the county legislature. “We don’t (know) what the impact of taxes will be until legislators meet on Sept. 30.”

The Ways and Means Committee will hold a final review on Sept. 30, which also includes a report filed with the clerk of the legislature, Liedka said.

In addition to the budget, there is a separate proposal for a $49.5 million bond to pay for construction of an amphitheater on Onondaga

Lake. The public hearing for this bond will be held on Oct. 1, in a separate budget presentation, Liedka said. The committee will present for the project in a smaller hearing on Sept. 29.

Donald Dutkowsky, an economics professor at Syracuse University, said he thinks the proposed budget is very reasonable.

“Mahoney is working with a tough problem here in terms of Onondaga County, especially in the city of Syracuse,” Dutkowsky said. “She tends to be very operational and comes up with practical solutions.”

Dutkowsky said he believes that the proposed budget is good news in terms of lower property taxes, which are an ongoing problem in New York state. He said he doesn’t think legislators will change the budget drastically before it is passed. amdas@syr.edu

Close behind networking, at 22 percent, were jobs obtained through internships and/or previous positions.

“Networking has always been the most important aspect when securing a job after graduation,” said Pam Latham, client services manager for SU Career Services. “However, over the last several years we have seen an increase in the importance of internships.”

Latham also advised students to take full advantage of the career centers at SU, whether it’s Career Services or a specific school’s career center. Reaching out to alumni

Moore said she was happy with many of the things that were brought up at the first meeting, including the forum that will be held in Hendricks Chapel at 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 2. But she said she hopes the forum will serve as an introductory step for a larger campus discussion about the issues of diversity and respect that were raised by the Strong video.

“When this type of thing happens it’s really hurtful to certain sections of the population, and others don’t get why it’s a big deal,” Moore said. “So we want this forum to be like the first step to get everybody on the same page.”

In addition, Moore said she’d like to

with the same degree or background as yourself or just talking to people interesting in your field of study can be beneficial in the future, Latham said.

According to the survey, only four out of the nine schools and colleges at SU said networking was the best way to secure a job. The majority of students in schools like the Martin J. Whitman School of Management or the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics listed internships or previous positions as what helped them find a job.

Both career development and obtaining employment are such complex processes that it is impossible to reduce to statistics or to determine the best way to engage in either process, said Mike Cahill, director of Career Services.

“Along with taking an active approach to career development, students should be sure to use resources like career offices, faculty and staff to help them make good academic and experiential decisions in order to develop and appropriate strategy that will lead to satisfying employment or further education,” Cahill said.

Barnett said while networking is important, it’s still important to have the necessary skills to stand out to potential employers.

“Securing a job after graduation is a lot like the game Jenga,” Barnett said. “If you remove a necessary skill like proper training, then the whole thing will fall down.

Everything is contingent.”

Alston, the senior vice president for Human Capital Development, said they also discussed the importance of having specific requests and goals for the forum. She added that students in the group talked about their desire to build a campaign around the #ITooAmSU, which was part of a campus discussion on Sept. 12 organized by the campus NAACP chapter.

Following the forum, the group hopes to offer ways for the discussions to continue.

Steinwert said everyone left the meeting with a “series of concrete next steps, roles and responsibilities.”

Neary echoed that by saying the first meeting wasn’t just about throwing around

“I think there’s been a lot of effort to make sure this does get off the ground and gets moving,” he said.

Students to produce sitcom YouTube comedy show #Blackpeopleproblems highlights stereotypes

By Madysan Foltz staff writer

Jasmine White is often told that she has what some people call a “resting b*tch face.”

The senior television, radio and film major said that no matter what, people often say she looks angry. And although “resting b*tch face” is a widespread phenomenon that knows no racial boundaries, White said, the color of her skin makes the comments even more frustrating, given the history surrounding the “angry black woman.” “(I’m) used to people thinking (I’m) angry all the time and have this resting b*tch face, but actually I’m very happy today,” White said. “It’s just my face.”

Making it big Graduate students record, promote upcoming local bands

By Renee Cherry staff writer

T

alent isn’t born, it’s made.

Syracuse University’s first class of audio arts graduate students has set out to help do just that — make their talent known. The seven students founded Made at SU, a group that aims to help budding local musicians make it big.

Made at SU hosts and promotes artists’ shows and records, mixes and distributes their content. The group plans to host a show every few weeks at Funk ‘n Waffles, the first being this Saturday at 8 p.m., and will feature three student acts: Spark Alaska, Josh Coy and S M I T H. The graduate students are part of a new one-year program in the College of Visual and Performing Arts and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. In the program, students prepare themselves for careers relating to the music industry and the media. They participated in a summer session “boot camp” and conceived Made at SU on the final night of their program, member Joshua Podrid said.

Now a graduate student, Podrid was a television, radio and film student as an undergraduate at SU. He distinctly remembers the

collective brainstorm session at one of the student’s houses with their professor, Ulf Oesterle.

“We had a whiteboard in the corner of the room,” Podrid said.

“It seemed like this euphoric moment when all of our hard work and ideas just sort of culminated into something concrete that could actually exist.”

Together they chose a name, set goals and divided up tasks, and Made at SU was officially established.

The students have launched the group completely with out-ofpocket money, Podrid said. They are investing in hopes of earning a profit in the long run through ticket sales. Podrid will DJ this Saturday’s show at Funk ‘n Waffles between acts and hopes to create a “cool” atmosphere.

Podrid added that Syracuse has an unexpectedly strong music industry, with historic theaters and state of the art recording studios. Made at SU plans to take advantage of the recording studios on campus, especially the Belfer Laboratory in Bird Library, where its members will supervise and assist with recording sessions each week.

Lorenzo Cook, who performs under the stage name Spark Alaska, will play an acoustic set at Saturday’s show. see made

This will be really helpful, not just for black people, but for other races to understand where we’re coming from when we find something offensive.

Taylor Hicks sophomore industrial design major

White plans to call attention to and poke fun at such stereotypes by producing a new YouTube comedy channel called #BlackPeopleProblems. She is working alongside Ibet Inyang, a creator, writer and actor of the show.

Inyang, a senior magazine journalism major, wrote the first six episodes of the sitcom over the summer and plans to start filming this week.

As of now, the duo plans to film the six episodes, upload them to the channel in December and then release future videos bi-weekly.

Set in the fictional Hollaway University, #BlackPeopleProblems will showcase three African American students navigating life on a predominantly white college campus.

The sitcom will revolve around a student journalist named Nya, played see comedy page 13

Style Lottery promotes sustainable outfit choices, donates clothes to local charities

in more ways than one Part of Timi Komonibo’s goal with Style Lottery is to promote the idea of sustainable clothing. She came up with challenges to demonstrate how one piece of clothing could be worn across several days. Pulp took on the “Little Black Dress Challenge.”

1. Go for simple with the black dress and just one accessory, in this case a belt. The little black dress is enough of a staple that you can wear it by itself and it’ll look great — it’s timeless.

2. For going out, wear the little black dress as a tank top. Pair it with a skater skirt and a jacket that works with the shape of the skirt.

The quilted purse dresses up the entire look.

3. Wear this outfit to a nice dinner. It’s OK to mix the black dress and jacket if the brown is light.

Pick a sweater that complements both colors.

4. If you’re trying to add a little “sexy librarian” to your repertoire, layer a white oxford shirt under a dress. Wearing the statement necklace gives it a necessary pop of color.

Timi Komonibo was a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin when she realized she needed a cheaper way to revamp her wardrobe. She started hosting closet swaps out of her dorm room, where girls would come and bring clothes to trade. Komonibo, now a graduate student in the Syracuse University public diplomacy program, donated the extra clothes at the end of each swap. When she came to Syracuse, she wanted to make this into a unique philanthropy and Style Lottery was born. Komonibo’s goal was to bring women with needs in the community clothes she could provide.

The Daily Orange: When you started Style Lottery, what was your main goal?

Timi Komonibo.: The goal, that’s our slogan, is to get people to restyle, reuse and reward with clothing. A lot of times people think of fashion as really fluffy, but if you do fashion right it can really change the way people identify and represent themselves in the world.

The D.O.: You’ve mentioned before that one of your main goals is to place an emphasis less on being trendy and more on sustainable wardrobe pieces. Can you talk about that?

T.K.: It took me a while to kind of figure out what my personal style was. And I realized that if you try and chase trends, trends will die very quickly and you’re left with a closet full of all this stuff. I encourage people to be more stylish because it’s more sustainable,

5

meaning it’s something that will stay regardless of trends, and you’re creating less waste.

The D.O.: What was the Ted Talk you gave last year about the topic?

T.K.: It was about fashion philanthropy … The great thing I like about my swaps is I’m kind of tricking people into being philanthropists because it’s like ‘Oh, we’re just shopping.’ But no, you’re giving to women. My talk talked about focusing on style, and when you focus on style, you can pointedly use fashion to impact peoples lives.

The D.O.: What’s your first event of the year on Sept. 25?

T.K.: We’re just setting up a huge walk in closet, and our guests will help us fill it.

5. This look is for going to class. Layer a chambray with a military jacket and scarf. It will go great with your pumpkin spice latte and Longchamp.

The D.O.: How can people participate in the swap?

T.K.: It’s free, except you just bring five lightly used items. And they could be clothes, shoes, accessories, anything.

The D.O.: Where do you see Style Lottery going in the future?

T.K.: We see ourselves as a bridge between one group that has the clothing and women who have that need. I think Style Lottery is sustainable because these two populations will always exist, and we serve as the bridge to connect them. So the women who come to our swaps may never meet the women who get our Style Lottery giveaways, but they’re impacting their lives indirectly. ekbaty@syr.edu

SU Hillel sells challah bread, donates proceeds to charity

By Zach Gipson staff writer

A sweet deal is coming back to campus.

Challah for Hunger, an international nonfor-profit aimed at eradicating hunger by baking and selling challah on campus, has made a comeback at Syracuse University Hillel.

“The premise of the whole thing is that it’s all about raising awareness for food-based causes — for food need, for food shortage — and also to bring awareness to both a national and local causes,” Brian Small, the executive director at Hillel, said.

The project started in 2004 when several students at Scripps College in Claremont, California began making challah for fun. The program has donated more than $600,000 to the American Jewish World Service and other non-profit organizations to date.

The challah, a traditionally rich, sweet bread served on Shabbat and other Jewish holidays, is $5 for an individually wrapped loaf and can be purchased via an order form on SU Hillel’s website. Recipes for challah vary, but the most basic recipe includes flour, oil, eggs, salt, sugar and yeast.

“It’s a staple bread that’s generally braided.

You can braid it in a lot of different ways. It ranges from simple forms to more complicated, fancy ways depending on the purpose or holiday,” said David Kimelman, a junior political science and policy studies double major and executive vice president at Hillel.

Rachel Mandel, a student office manager at Hillel, said there are a few misconceptions about Challah for Hunger. A common question asked is where the organization’s proceeds go.

Half the money will go to the national charity MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger, and the other half will be donated to a local charity.

While a local charity has not been selected, Hillel is leaning toward the food pantry of Temple Concord, a local synagogue.

“A lot of people hear ‘Challah for Hunger’ and think that we’re making challah to donate to a food kitchen or something like that, but we’re actually selling it to students, parents, people on campus and that money is donated to charity,” said Mandel, a senior psychology and Jewish studies double major.

Before its recent success, Challah for Hunger had trouble maintaining active supporters and attracting a crowd for sales. While serving

as the coordinator of programming and special initiatives, Small took a group of Hillel interns to the University of Delaware in 2011 where they witnessed Challah for Hunger in action.

Inspired by this experience, they began baking challah for charity at SU. The next year, however, the project was discontinued due to lack of interest.

A lot of people hear ‘Challah for Hunger’ and think that we’re making challah to donate to a food kitchen or something like that, but we’re actually selling it to students, parents, people on campus and that money is donated to charity.

Rachel Mandel senior psychology and jewish studies double major

The project was brought back this semester by co-organizers Rebecca Leon, a sophomore com-

munication sciences and disorders major, and Lauren Weinstein, a junior psychology major, both active members at Hillel. Originally showcased at the FreshFest Pre-Orientation Program this summer, Leon and Weinstein turned the project into an umbrella group of Hillel.

During their first bake of the semester Thursday, the group sold a total of 115 loafs of challah and raised about $500. Leon said they plan on making the challah three or four more times during the semester but haven’t set any dates yet.

Leon and Weinstein have many ideas for improving the project, including expanding of their line of flavors. Previously, they baked only plain and cinnamon sugar challah, but want to add chocolate chip, pumpkin and hot chocolate to their menu. In addition, Challah for Hunger will make direct deliveries to all Greek houses on campus.

“I wasn’t expecting this to start so fast and it was just amazing that it took off so quickly. And we love getting feedback,” Leon said.

“People came up to me the next day and said, ‘Your challah rocks.’ It can only go up from here. We have big plans for the future.” ztgipson@syr.edu

Fat Acceptance Movement prioritizes comfort over healthy lifestyle

T

he Fat Acceptance Movement concerns me.

I’m all for loving your body and accepting who you are. We all struggle everyday with the thought that we aren’t good enough. I understand what it’s like to question your abilities based on your appearance. I get it. I just don’t understand the concept that one can be “healthy at every size,” because you just can’t.

The Fat Acceptance Movement, also known as fat activism, is the social trend working to change the mindsets toward accepting body types, whether they are larger than the “ideal” or seriously obese.

The movement is most active online, where sites like Tumblr host a multitude of photos, graphics and screen grabs of items showing or supporting “fat equality.”

Some photos feature severely obese women in their undergarments with the tags #fat, #fat acceptance, #chubby and #fat love.

Cook added that local talent is often overlooked for bigger names that are brought to SU, but there are bands that have come out of Syracuse with relative success and a loyal fan base.

Ricky Smith, a freshman in the Bandier Program, will also perform at the show. He performs

Inyang said she harnessed a major part of her inspiration for the show from the hit television show Seinfeld. #BlackPeopleProblems will be set up in a similar fashion, opening with the character Nya performing a monologue that will foreshadow the plotline to come in the episode.

Inyang said that, like Seinfeld, the humor will be very “situational” and focus on everyday events.

SWEATING IS SEXY

Others feature large ladies in crop tops and short shorts, complete with a long paragraph condemning anyone who told them they were overweight and should watch their waistlines, accompanied by #fatshion, #fatspo and #chubby bunnies.

The Fat Acceptance Movement pushes ideas like the one behind “#fatspo,” encouraging obese men and women to believe others view this kind of body weight as something society should accept and promote. Inspiring anyone to embrace morbid obesity is dangerous and potentially life-threatening.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, more than one-third of American adults are obese. That’s 78.9 million

under the stage name S M I T H and describes his music as electro-soul, a combination of electronic music with guitar and R&B. Smith says he plans to put on an energetic act with a lot of audience interaction. He is open to the idea of recording with Made at SU down the road, he said. “(Made at SU is) definitely doing a great thing,” Smith said. “There’s certainly an opportunity. There are a lot of talented artists at SU.” The founders of Made at SU plan to focus their efforts on SU students and recent graduates, and possibly branch out to other local artists in the future. The group is open to many different types of artists, and welcomes suggestions for venues and artists

“Thinking of concepts of shows, I thought ‘Well, with black people you can’t talk about nothing because so much happens to us,’” Inyang said. “So I took that approach when creating the content, so I could make it funnier than just simply talking about racial profiling.”

Hicks saw a flyer on campus and knew she had to get involved. She said Inyang’s sitcom came at the right time for her — not only so that she could live out her dream of acting, but also so that she could help play a role in addressing concerns in her everyday life.

“I think a lot of people are just unaware, especially in a predominantly white school,” Hicks said. “When you’re around so many people that aren’t like you, they just don’t know when to stop making jokes. This will be really helpful, not just for black people, but for other

people who are at an increased risk for heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and various types of cancers. They wouldn’t have to be at risk if their weight was at a healthier level.

In addition, the number of obese children is higher than ever before. In 2012, 18 percent of children aged 6–11 were obese, up by 11 percent since 1980.

Everyone should be inspired to live a wholly healthy life. Worry less about the number on a scale, the length on a tape measure and the tag on your jeans. Regular cardiovascular and strength exercise combined with a balanced diet is much more crucial than how a bikini looks on you, regardless of how much you weigh.

I do not agree that people with serious health issues — those which can be resolved by managing their weight — should be encouraged to drown out suggestions to lose weight or eat better. The fact that people accept

and embrace a shorter life with medical and physical complications is disturbing. Placing limitations on yourself willingly because of some convoluted idea that this is who you are and we better accept the 350-pound you is just not OK. Your life is worth more than that.

Our current society places a high level of pressure on young women to be thin, trim and flawless. “Thinspiration” has its flaws, too.

This doesn’t mean the concept of obesity being OK should be promoted, either.

It is OK to go through struggles. It is OK to eat too much pizza or a pint of ice cream at the end of a bad day. It is OK to not be perfect.

But it is not OK to accept yourself as something that is blatantly unhealthy and in most cases, changeable.

that people would like to hear, member Karl Stabnau said.

“We’re not interested in limiting what we show,” Stabnau said. “We’re just interested

tion, public relations, artist development and recording technology. The group will also be able to produce live video recordings of their shows, he said.

Made at SU is bringing something new to SU, Stabnau added. The group wants the shows to be accessible to students and to have comfortable ambience.

“At a school with 20,000 people, there’s more bands than anybody is gonna hear in their tenure here at Syracuse,” Stabnau said.

“So the opportunity to find those gems that students just aren’t gonna hear ? I think that’s something that’s missing.”

One of the organization’s strengths is the students’ diverse skillset within the group, Stabnau said. Some students specialize in television, radio and film, others in promo-

races to understand where we’re coming from when we find something offensive.”

Both Inyang and White said a lot of the content focuses on racism they encounter on a day-to-day basis. Offhanded comments such as “You’re cute for a black girl,” and “You’re so articulate for a black girl,” will be emphasized in the show, Inyang said.

Each character will also break ingrained stereotypes that black people sometimes face.

Inyang said that Michael will be portrayed as a tall, black male who is more interested in technology and creating apps than he is in playing sports. Nya will be a radio show host and journalist who is shy but loves to interview people. The show will strive to represent young African American students in more ways than one.

At the end of the day, White and Inyang hope everyone takes an interest in the show no matter what the color of their skin may be.

White said that she hopes the show will start a dialogue on race and bring more consciousness to the black community.

Inyang also said she sees too little representation of different black characters in the mainstream media. As the show progresses, she said she plans to see the plot transcend past “generic” black people problems to instead focus on the specific problems that the diverse characters face.

“You never see any young black people our age (on TV) without it being really serious about the civil rights movement or something,” Inyang said. “I want to fill that void.” mgfoltz@syr.edu

Orange’s toughest such test of the season to date. Shafer talked about the need to contain Golson, who led UND to an undefeated regular season and the 2013 national title game, which it lost to Alabama.

“I think you have to take a look at the prepared run game stuff and then you also have to do a good job — he creates,” Shafer said. “He creates in passing downs with his feet, he extends plays and throws the ball down the field. And he can also scamper for good yardage.”

Golson missed last season after being suspended from school for “poor academic judgment,” but has thrown for seven touchdowns and no interceptions this year. He has also has four rushing touchdowns.

In SU’s 27-26 double-overtime win against Villanova, Wildcats quarterback John Robertson rushed for 133 yards. Maryland quarterback C.J. Brown only ran for 46, but his constant threat to the Orange defense helped the Terrapins to a 34-20 win in the Carrier Dome.

“Have to have a good game plan and we have to have really good vision on our job at hand in the run game as well as getting our eyes back,” Shafer said, “and always knowing where Golson is throughout the course of the play.”

Shafer reflects on watching UND A young Shafer spent his weekends watching football in Painesville, Ohio. No cable, just the broadcasts of Ohio State, Michigan, whoever they were playing and Syracuse’s Saturday opponent.

In his Tuesday teleconference, Shafer said

ASHTON BROYLD will be out for the forseeable future with a right leg injury. In his place, Brisly Estime and others will see more reps. logan reidsma staff photographer

Ohio State, Michigan and the Fighting Irish, in that order, were his favorite teams to root for growing up. From 1967, the year Shafer was born, to 1985, Notre Dame finished in the top 25 12 times, had an average year-end ranking of 6.7 and won seven of the 11 bowl games it played in.

“We’d always watch the Big Ten matchups and then Notre Dame,” Shafer said. “And you always were rooting for the teams that were close-by in the Midwest.”

But when Lou Holtz became the UND head coach in 1986, Shafer said he began to cheer for

the Fighting Irish more. Because like Shafer, Holtz grew up in Ohio.

Holtz went on to go 100-30 leading the Irish from 1986-96, to five bowl victories and the 1988 national championship after beating West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl.

“I kind of rooted for them a little bit more because Coach Holtz was an Ohio guy and had dealings with so many of the big kids from the state of Ohio,” Shafer said. “So for me, that’s kind of the way I always looked at Notre Dame.” jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_

Firenze, Simon provide Syracuse with stability in midfield

By Paul Schwedelson staff writer

Syracuse junior forward Erin Simon was still on the field 30 minutes after practice last Wednesday.

Simon, the only player left, practiced stepovers, pullbacks and toe taps with the ball at her feet. She dribbled forward and backward and side-to-side around cones within a 5-yard space. It was quiet, simple and con-

sistent, three trademarks of her style on the field.

And she continued to work with assistant coach Alyscha Mottershead while head coach Phil Wheddon fittingly answered questions about his team’s consistent performers.

Half of the Syracuse (3-4-3, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) roster is new to the program this year, which has placed a premium on consistent play from its veterans,

especially in the midfield. Simon and junior captain Jackie Firenze have both exhibited that this season, even while Wheddon has tweaked the supporting cast around them in almost every game.

“One of the things that you need in a program is consistent performers,” Wheddon said of Firenze and Simon. “And I think we’re getting to a point now where we’ve got that and we’ve had that for a couple years.”

Simon has played in every single game for SU since 2012 and Firenze has played in all but two.

Finding the right combination of players in the midfield has been one of Wheddon’s goals during the first half of the season, and having Simon and Firenze to lean on has given support to younger players.

“It’s important for anyone on the team to be consistent,” Firenze said. “That’s something that we all look for. Consistent and growing at the same time is something any player needs to strive for.”

Syracuse has stronger leadership this season compared to the past, Wheddon said, and that could have something to do with Mottershead’s presence.

When Simon and Firenze were freshmen in 2012, Mottershead was their captain.

Firenze looked up to her and now models her captainship after her current assistant coach, and both Firenze and Simon continue to learn from Mottershead as a first-year assistant coach.

Firenze — with the help of vice-captains

Taylor Haenlin and Alexis Koval — has organized team meetings, which didn’t happen much in the past. The meetings have raised the level of accountability among teammates resulting in a higher standard of play on a daily basis.

By giving maximum effort in practice, Simon hopes to make her teammates better, she said. Simon rarely has an off game and that’s because her role is predicated on effort — something she can control.

Simon is listed on the Orange’s roster as a forward but has played defense and outside midfield this season. When playing outside midfield in SU’s 3-5-2 formation, she does more running than any other player on the field.

With these examples set by Simon and Firenze, the consistent effort is trickling down to the freshmen.

“It shows the rest of the players what they need to do to be successful and that’s what we need,” Wheddon said. “We need that kind of leadership from those players that have been around.”

The two midfielders are making impressions on SU’s younger players, starting with things like staying after practice to improve footwork.

“When we leave, they can look back and say ‘Oh, I remember Jackie and Erin and all of us,’” Simon said. “They can look back on that and be like ‘Oh, I want to be like them, I want to play like them. They were so hard working.’” pmschwed@syr.edu

binghamton and Noah Rhynhart — SU head coach Ian McIntyre said the team was frustrated after 45 minutes.

But 19 minutes into the second half, Syracuse defender Jordan Murrell. Murrell sent a pass to the middle to Chris Nanco, who flicked the ball to an on-rushing Ekblom. The striker placed a shot into the right side of the net for his fifth goal of the season. “(Binghamton) had a couple of chances,” Ekblom said. “I think we did alright, came to a difficult place, a hard-working team. So at least we got the win and that’s the most important thing.”

The Orange had an opportunity to put the game away with seven minutes left as Perea sent a back-heel pass to Nanco, who sent the shot over the bar. With the ball in the Syracuse’s defensive third for the last five minutes of the match and most of the second half, Binghamton couldn’t find an equalizer.

“The longer the game goes on, you worry that they’re going to nick one,” McIntyre said.

“We could have slowed the game down, but we kept going for that second goal.”

Twice in the first half a ball landed behind SU goalkeeper Alex Bono. Twice, a Syracuse defender cleared away the in-close Bearcats scoring attempt.

Twelve minutes into the match, Bearcats midfielder Charlie Novoth crossed a pass into the box for forward Ben Ovetsky. With Bono pulled out of the goal, SU defender Skylar Thomas cleared the ball as it sat feet from the goal line.

“I try not to make any mistakes, but when I do I know that those guys are back there to

make up for my mistakes,” Bono said. “Because when it comes down to it, I’m there to make up for theirs. So I expect the same from them.”

With 18 minutes left in the half, Novoth headed down a crossing pass into the goal box. With Bono caught in a scramble, defender Louis Cross cleared the ball into a pile of players. Novoth put another shot on goal that was

blocked and kicked away by Murrell.

Syracuse also had two point-blank chances in the half. Ekblom took a through ball from Julian Buescher and had a one-on-one with the keeper but his shot was kicked away by Moewes. Rhynhart also had a half-breakaway with 6:50 left in the half that the keeper just got a piece of to deflect it wide.

With a matchup looming against No. 2 Virginia on Saturday night at the SU Soccer Stadium, SU survived the trap game.

“These Binghamton games are real tests,” McIntyre said. “ … This is a real tough place to come. You know you’re in for a real dogfight for 90 minutes.” jmhyber@syr.edu

nassib -pugh from Nassib.

It read: “I’ll see you out there.”

••• Nassib and Pugh are teammates for the sixth straight year and are now three weeks into their second season in the NFL. They were vital parts of the Orange’s turnaround under then-head coach Doug Marrone from 2009–12, and have continued their friendship on the professional level.

They grew up as Philadelphia Eagles fans, but the Eagles passed over Pugh in the first round for another offensive lineman and also selected Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley 12 picks before the Giants took Nassib.

Two years later, Nassib is Eli Manning’s backup while Pugh is the Giants’ returning

I know it’s tough for him. He takes his job very seriously.

Ryan studies so much that he knows just as (much) as anybody in that locker room. I know eventually he’s going to get his shot somewhere along the road and he’s going to be ready.

Justin Pugh former su offensive tackle and current giant

starter at right tackle, and a chip on each of their shoulders smoothened their transitions from Eagles fans to Giants players.

dailyorange.com sports@dailyorange.com

“(The Eagles) basically told me that I wasn’t good enough to play for them,” Pugh said at Giants training camp in July. “So you know what? I actually lucked out they didn’t draft me because I ended up with what I think is the best organization in football.”

Due to injuries up front, Pugh started all 16 games at right tackle on a line that he said didn’t protect Manning well enough.

The Giants’ front line is undergoing a massive overhaul. Four-time Pro Bowler Chris Snee retired before the season, so no offensive linemen remain from the Giants’ 2012 Super Bowl winning team.

To better prepare himself to lead a newlook offensive line with three new starters, Pugh reshaped his workout routine. He started hot yoga, used the Giants’ hot and cold tubs and worked with a nutritionist to improve his diet, helping him gain more than 10 pounds of “good weight.”

“You see it in his play,” Giants offensive line coach Pat Flaherty said at training camp in July. “He somewhat weighs more but more importantly, he’s stronger. What he has between his ears in terms of wanting to be good, that’s always been there.”

But as Pugh suited up to compete for the Giants every week last season, he couldn’t help looking across the locker room and seeing Nassib, who was inactive for all 16 games and didn’t dress for most of them.

••• After the 2013 draft, Giants general manager Jerry Reese told reporters that Nassib had too much value to pass on him with the 13th pick of the fourth round.

But Reese was also quoted by USA Today as saying in a post-draft press conference, “If he doesn’t ever play, that would be great.”

That’s the uphill battle Nassib faces with the Giants. He is stuck behind Manning, a two-time Super Bowl MVP who hasn’t missed

a game since becoming the Giants’ starter in 2004 — the longest active streak in the NFL. “I know it’s tough for him,” Pugh said. “He takes his job very seriously. Ryan studies so much that he knows just as (much) as anybody in that locker room. I know eventually he’s going to get his shot somewhere along the road and he’s going to be ready.”

Curtis Painter was the Giants’ second-string quarterback last season and appeared in just three games. Nassib only worked in the film room and with the scout team on the practice field.

But before this season, the Giants brought in new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo, who installed a scheme resembling what Nassib ran at Syracuse.

“I definitely have a little more familiarity with this offense,” Nassib said. “Similar concepts that carry over. Last year, it was kind of all new to me but now I’m definitely a little more comfortable.”

Throughout the offseason, the Giants’ coaches hinted to media that they would rather carry just two quarterbacks on the roster. Manning would be one. Nassib’s job was in jeopardy if he didn’t outperform Painter.

In the Giants’ first preseason game, Nassib led the Giants to a fourth-quarter comeback to beat Marrone’s Buffalo Bills.

Two weeks later, he steered the offense to two late touchdowns to rally to victory from a 26-0 deficit.

By the end of camp, the backup spot was his.

“You kind of don’t know what to expect until you get here,” Nassib said. “You learn something new every day, which is fun and exciting. At the end of the day, it’s still football. It’s just a higher level.

“I still treat it as the game I’ve played my whole life, so hopefully that sticks with me for a while.”

••• On the commutes back to Syracuse for summer classes, Pugh would devour a huge hoagie and chips from Wawa — and then was the first to fall asleep, again.

Nassib would doze off next, leaving his cousin and SU cornerback Joe Nassib to do all the driving.

“I’m still waiting for them to send me up some gas money because they’re in the NFL right now, but I still haven’t seen that check yet,” Joe Nassib said with a laugh.

They often took hour-long trips from the Philadelphia region to the New Jersey shore for the

weekend before venturing back up to Syracuse on Sunday night for summer classes during the week. Then they’d do it all over again.

Now, Pugh and Nassib’s conversations naturally revert to their Syracuse days — but mostly when it’s the two of them.

“We do it around others, people are going to get kind of sick of our Syracuse connection,” Nassib said. “We had a great time, man.

We did some great things that we’ll always

We had a great time, man.

We did some great things that we’ll always remember.

Ryan Nassib former su qb and current giant

remember.”

Aside from the joy of winning two bowl games and a few upsets in the Carrier Dome, they recall meals at Graham Dining Hall, dinners at Tully’s on Thursday nights with their teammates, socializing in University Village and the SU coaches who stuck by them.

But they also discuss Giants football.

From the pocket, Nassib can see everything on the field in practice that Pugh misses from the trenches. And Pugh knows a lineman’s perspective better than Nassib ever could.

Pugh will bounce questions off Nassib to better understand the quarterback’s viewpoint and how the line’s protections reflect the pre-snap changes the quarterback calls for. Nassib uses Pugh as a sounding board to learn what’s most convenient for a lineman and views him as motivation despite their different roles.

“The epitome of student-athletes,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said of Nassib and Pugh.

“They grew up on the same cause and I think their unselfishness is why they’re paired up as good friends.”

At Syracuse, Nassib and Pugh never lived together. But they’re roommates on the road now.

Nassib controls the remote, which means they watch a lot of Family Guy and Modern Family before they go to sleep. But when they wake up, they’re not in Joe Nassib’s car.

They wake up in the NFL. Said Pugh: “It’s been a dream come true.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

philips showing he was physical enough to take snaps and had good downfield vision. By using his inside foot to start his runs, Philips is a halfstep quicker, Smith said. His natural abilities make him a good option in the running game for SU, but Smith said he could theoretically play on the defense or even as a wide receiver.

He remains a part of the Syracuse offense, Smith said, before noting that he’s in “a small package.” In Saturday’s 34-20 loss to Maryland, Philips had just one carry for negative six yards.

Philips still doesn’t really know what he’s doing, Smith said. And in a way, that’s what’s made him the most impressed — vision and

instincts mostly alone.

“He’s really smart,” Smith said. “I think a lot of times that’s lost in having the ability to play, and then you actually have to be able to process what’s going on. That’s the No. 1 thing that caught my eye.”

Grades almost kept him ineligible for college football. Philips said a lot of schools backed off him during his senior year. He took the SAT several times, completed summer classes and met with teachers after classes ended. Now he’s working to solidify himself as a part of the running back core.

“I didn’t have a lot of offers because my grades weren’t there, but Syracuse stuck with me throughout my whole senior year,” Philips said. “… I knew I had a goal. I knew what I wanted to do. It was to come here and play.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

SU beats Bearcats on road

By Josh Hyber staff writer

VESTAL, N.Y. — Syracuse players stood in the Binghamton 18-yard box with their arms in the air in celesyracuse 1 binghamton 0 br a t i on .

A f t e r several close-range opportunities in the first half, the Orange thought it finally broke through 15 minutes into the second half.

A Syracuse fan in attendance said loudly, “That ball crossed the line.”

But the header from Syracuse midfielder Nick Perea was caught

by Binghamton goalkeeper Robert Moewes just in front of the goal line.

Both Syracuse and Binghamton failed to capitalize on numerous opportunities on Tuesday night at the Bearcats Sports Complex. But Syracuse (7-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast) did just enough, and behind a second-half goal from Emil Ekblom escaped with a 1-0 victory over the Bearcats (2-6).

Philips looks for more success in SU backfield

By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

Ed McCarthy had seen Ervin Philips play Pop Warner football. He’d seen the running back’s quickness and power long before Philips played for him.

But it wasn’t until the West Haven (Connecticut) High School football coach watched Philips play basketball in eighth grade that he knew he was going to be coaching someone special.

“We knew he was going to be a good player, but I saw him as an eighthgrader playing basketball, McCarthy

said. “He was a good defender and he had a really athletic body to say the least. He really knew how to play, and I think that was the case in football.”

That versatility made the Syracuse freshman an option at several positions, but Philips has begun to prove his worth in an already deep running back core. Yet there was an uncertainty that a future in football awaited Philips due to academic issues in high school.

But after overcoming those, he’s gone from untapped talent for Syracuse to contributing out of the backfield.

In the Orange’s eighth drive against

Central Michigan on Sept. 13, Philips ran the ball seven times for a total of 50 yards. Phillips was a two-star recruit who only received offers from Temple, Villanova and SU, and showed why Syracuse gave him a chance in his first opportunity to do so.

He also came within inches of him scoring his first career touchdown, but that will have to wait. “(My teammates) kind of clowned me a little bit on that play where I got stopped on the line,” Philips said.

“They thought I should have gotten in.

“I was heartbroken, I wanted

that touchdown.”

Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer said that had he not gotten playing time on the offense, he would have been played as a defensive back.

The other coaches agree. He’s a running back and kick returner for SU, but his capabilities extend past that.

“You just see a guy that has the ability to do a lot of different things,” SU running backs coach DeAndre Smith said.

Smith said Philips proved he was ready to get in-game action by see philips page 19

Shafer discusses H-back situation with Broyld out

By Jacob Klinger asst. sports editor

With Ashton Broyld out, Syracuse (2-1) will mix perimeter receivers into Broyld’s H-back role against No. 8 Notre Dame (3-0) at MetLife Stadium at 8 p.m. on Saturday, head coach Scott Shafer said in his weekly teleconference Tuesday.

“It’ll be by committee and some of the guys that were playing solely out-

side have to be ready to play inside as well,” Shafer said.

Broyld came up limping in the middle of a route against Maryland on Saturday before falling to the turf. He then pounded the turf in frustration as medical staff began to work on his already heavily wrapped right leg at the UMD 5-yard line.

Shafer announced in a Cuse.com interview on Monday that Broyld would be out for “a couple weeks.”

Brisly Estime is the starting H-back in place of Broyld, according to SU’s most recent depth chart. And Shafer said receivers like Ben Lewis could see time at H-Back.

Lewis filled in for Broyld there during the Maryland game, Shafer said, when Estime needed a break from also returning kicks. Broyld leads SU with 11 receptions and remains its second-leading receiver with 125 yards. Estime has six recep-

tions for 82 yards and a touchdown on the season, while Lewis has eight catches for 76 yards.

Shafer, SU prep for Golson Syracuse nearly lost to Villanova and did lose to Maryland — the two times it’s faced teams led by dual-threat quarterbacks this season.

Notre Dame and its quarterback, Everett Golson, are likely to be the see notebook page 14
