The town linched the printer for offensive topics.

Lol

The Orange Times is BACK!

Sorry for the delays, the Editor has been busy. But We are back to keep you updated on the happenings of the Orangemen!

Like any franchise, the early stages have been a bit rough. sitting on a 6-15 record, the Orange will look for nothing other than a moral victory on Saturday in the season's final regular season home game. However the roots have been planted for a strong future. Indian import Ekaraj Karanwal has been a standout, scoring 16 points per game and pulling down nearly 13 rebs a night. His chemistry with prospect Jeffrey Rivas(15 pts, 11 rebs, 7 assists per game) is quickly building and they look primed to lead the Orangemen from the cellar to contention as soon as next season!
And with a high draft pick, and a thick wad of cash, this looks to be an active off-season. Ownership has suggested they wish to bring in a super star C in the 20k salary range to anchor the team around as they build. Fans are welcome to send in suggestions as to who they think the next Syracuse Sensation should be! The only qualification is that he must be American-born. Ownership has mentioned multiple times that with the recent drop in popularity of the Toccoa Panthers, there is an opening for the title of "America's Team", and by the end of season 22 the Syracuse Orangemen want to fill that void.
All in all, the future looks bright for your Orangemen. You can direct all questions and concerns as to the direction of "America's Team of the Future" to the editor, and they will be acknowledged and answered

well, don't Mess with Texas' Team-The Mountain Eagles!


Anyways for that C I would advise not to get a 32 yo.............get a young one.

27 yo should be fine but he will cost you a bank full............be prepared. BUT if you pay for a 27 yo he will benefit you more in the future then a 34 yo would.

all in all, don't purchase any of them oldies, they will bite you in the future.

I was planning on shooting for the 27-30 range. He will be an integral part of getting us to D.IV, but upgrades will be needed once we get there. Im trying to do just enough to get into promotion range, while not spending too much money. And I was planning on training Karanwal as a SG/SF, but I have a shot at getting him on the Indian U21 team at PF so I have to re-evaluate my training plan.

At last! America's team will live on! The Force is strong with this one.

Just remember, you're not allowed to link to players on the TL in the forums unless it's in the advertisements thread.

Ah, silly me, good point.

Orangemen down WWIAFTM 72-59

In the season finale at the Carrier Dome, the Orangemen put on a show, winning handily behind strong efforts from PG Jorge Landry and Ekaraj Karanwal. Landry poured in 20 pts, while Karanwal had 16 pts and 15 boards. This will be the last look at this version of you Orangemen, as ownership has stated that many new faces will be brought in this offseason. Head coach Jim Boeheim commented on the search for the next stars of Syracuse

"Well we have had some difficulties finding Americans that are a good fit, but we are going to try to hold fast to our commitment to build from within our backyard. We ask that fans be patient, because we are working tirelessly to put a quality product out there."

One of the bigger stories this offseason will be the impact of the falling out of Karanwal with the staff. Last week Karanwal stormed out of a practice, and commented later that Boeheim had made it very clear that Karanwal was not a part of the Orangemen's plan going forward. The Orange Times will be keeping a close eye on this as it develops, as well as draft news and free agency acquisitions

Davis Miller

The Orangemen would like to announce the signing of SF Davis Miller! Miller is the first acquisition in the promised shake-up by management. The 6'2" American spent last season playing in a reserve role for an Irish club. The versatile swingman adds versatilty and scoring to a lineup that had trouble scoring last season. Although his numbers were low in his 7 seasons in Ireland, he was a backup for the large majority. The last time he started for an American team, he averaged 16 pts and 7 boards and shot over 42% both seasons. His skills have only improved since and he is expected to be a force in the lineup for the forseeable future in Syracuse. He will be getting help soon, promises coach Jim Boeheim. As to who the Orangemen are targeting, that remains a tightly kept secret, but Boeheim has always liked having experienced floor generals, so the Times would not be surprised to see efforts to bring a pass-first PG into the fold!
