Looking up a few numbers for a story tomorrow and I discover that under Greg Robinson’s leadership, Syracuse is:

– 8-32
– 0-12 against ranked teams
– 1-9 in Division I-A nonconference games
– in possession of a better winning percentage than only Duke, Temple, Florida International, Utah State and North Texas
– 2-23 in its past 25 Big East games

Yikes. Robinson could use a victory and, gee, wouldn’t that make a nice birthday gift? He turns 57 today, an occasion marked by my favorite Syracuse blog.

So…um…did you guys buy a gift yet? I kinda forgot, so…um…you wanna go in together on something? Cool, okay, let’s think about what we want to get him. Something practical, something he’s going to need. I’ll just throw out some ideas, you let me know what you like…

U-Haul Gift Certificates. If you’re gonna have to pack up and move in this economy, you’re gonna need some help.
