08:13 AM ET 08.07 | Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim knows just how he'd like to prepare for playing San Diego State on the USS Midway Museum aircraft carrier: outside. The Nov. 9 game will be played on a temporary court erected on the Midway's flight deck, with no backdrop behind the baskets or protection from the wind. ... Boeheim's remedy? Acclimate to the conditions by practicing outside before leaving for San Diego. "I think we're going to ... if it's not snowing," Boeheim said in London. "I don't know if that's overthinking it or not. But if you're going to play somewhere and they use different basketballs, we'll use those basketballs in practice. So if we're going to play outdoors, we should at least shoot outdoors and run some drills outdoors."

Damage control for under the Bernie Fine thing??? Genius comment, remember how similar the Syracuse "scandal" was to Penn State when it first came out? There's a reason one of the accused men is going to spend the rest of his life in jail and the other man that was accused has another coaching job already.
