Onuaku Rips the Board

It’s a big sports weekend; Game Seven tonight; Tom Brady torching the once proud Dolphins as I write; Cuse pulled out a big win over Buffalo yesterday, even covering the spread. How huge was that? But here’s a sports highlight all my loyal readers can enjoy, without exception – Friday night, the University threw a coming out party for the basketball team, and during a scrimmage, Arinze Onuaku went up for a alley-oop dunk, and ripped down a backboard.

According to the Syracuse papers, in the frenzy that followed, Paul Harris threw his shoes into the crowd, and once the glass had been cleaned from the court, the announcer had to plead for the return of PH’s shoes, so the game could continue. I know we’re still in the middle of October, but it’s fun to get excited about the coming winter.
