The FNSI staff won’t give up on their quest to bring back more tradition into today’s college game. Let’s see what they’ve got for this one
The Silver O
Oski vs Otto. Oh what an outstanding occurrence to observe.
Jersey Boys
Fran Brown wants to reclaim the Garden State so let’s see how the Orange stack up against each opponent.
The Golden Bears have one player from Jersey, but that’s not even close to the twenty five for the Orange.
Advantage: Syracuse

Bringing back this one as we love to drop, some knowledge every now and then to help our loyal readers possibly win a trivia night. After all we are the Syracuse blog that loves you back and we take that seriously.
Rube Goldberg vs Charles F. Brannock
Two men with devices named after them, but Brannock’s device is straight-forward and allows for accurate measurement of your foot. And it does so without needing an over-complicated and slow process to do so.
Advantage: Syracuse
Head Coach Radio Show Sponsor
Blank vs AmeriCU
California does an official podcast. Syracuse just keeps it terrestrial.

The Official #FakeNunes Game Prediction
Syracuse surprises everyone with a slow offensive start as Cal jumps out to a 10-0 lead. Kyle McCord heats up and it’s 14-10 at the half, but Jadyn Ott takes a swing pass to the house midway through the 3rd and that’s enough for the Golden Bears to take control and fuel the comment section’s trolls through a cold CNY weekend
Final Score: California 35, Syracuse 31
