Syracuse Football: Mock Fourth of July Party featuring 2019 SU stars
Wouldn’t it be cool to celebrate the Fourth of July with none other than the Syracuse Football team? Well here’s what that might look like.
Syracuse football should be in for an exciting year, and the Fourth of July is always an exciting time to celebrate America, so why not merge the two together?
What’s that equal? The best Fourth of July party on the block, featuring none other than your very own Syracuse Football team. Go Orange!
The Grill Master – Dino Babers
Without a doubt, Coach Babers would be the mastermind behind the grill. Just imagine how nuts it would be trying to feed the entire ‘Cuse football roster, coaches, and more. And don’t forget, we’re not talking about normal college kids, but guys who need to eat.
What does that call for? FOOD. And lots of it.
Well, lucky for us, Dino is well versed in fast and efficient ways to get stuff done. You thought Orange was the new fast? Well maybe it should be ‘Dino on the grill is the new fast!”. With a no-huddle playbook only for a true offensive coach, Babers has his grilling style down pat. He can get the food on the table in no time, and before you know it, he’s already done with the second batch. Dino is behind the grill, and no one comes close.
The Firework Lighter – Tommy DeVito
Easy choice here. Firework shows demand a lot of precision, accuracy, and the ability to really win the crowd over with the grand finale.
Insert Tommy DeVito. Precision and accuracy come naturally to DeVito on the gridiron, so it would only make sense that he could deliver a firework show in the same manner. Oh, and need a spectacular grand finale? Well, I don’t know about you, but by the way, he throws the long ball down the field to ignite the Carrier Dome crowd, he could be the Grucci at any Fourth of July party that makes everyone cheer.
Life of The Party – Moe Neal
If we really want this party to be rocking, there’s got to be that one guy who everyone knows and everyone can vibe with. Moe Neal is that guy.
Going into his fourth year on the Orange football roster, Neal has been around the block. And that’s just the type of guy everyone wants to be around at any Independence Day celebration.
The versatile running back can share stories from both the Scott Shafer and Dino Babers eras, which sounds like a real treat. More than that, he’s always dependable. Neal will always give it his all to help the Orange move the chains, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he came in the clutch with the extra salsa and chips just in case.
The Party Pooper – Andre Cisco
Unfortunately, at any great party, there’s a guy who ruins it. Last season, Cisco did that to a lot of opposing quarterbacks.
During his freshman campaign a year ago, Cisco finished atop the NCAA leaderboard in interceptions (with seven). When it comes down to it, he is a defensive mastermind, always thinking about how he can create a turnover for the Orange.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t translate well for the red, white, and blue day.

My best advice – watch out for Andre. You never know when he might try and steal a cookie off your plate, pick off the nerf ball from the friendly kids game, or even worse – run away with the cake all for himself. When it comes down to it, Cisco loves takeaways, so you just need to be aware.
