This is because there are multiple offers with “highest and best” on almost every listing competing against other buyers. Wilkens also mentioned that buyers are now required to have a pre-approval before going out to look at a house. Wilkens described a perfect storm: when interest rates are low, buyers want to buy, and lenders are fairly aggressive in lending. Realtors are beyond busy while adhering to guidelines, but the biggest obstacle appears to be inventory. “The pandemic and the violence in the boroughs is what customers are trying to get away from,” he said. Wilkens claims the driving force behind these numbers is the mass exodus from New York and New Jersey. “In my 40 years of real estate, I’ve never seen the number of pending in the MLS exceed the inventory,” Wilkens said. Thomas Wilkens, CEO of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Wilkens & Associates said the market is “through the roof.” As homes come to market, they are continuing to sell sooner rather than later and with that prices have gone up and are still rising.” “Some areas have more homes ‘under contract’ or ‘pending’ than are available for sale. Quarterback Ryan Nassib handed the ball off to Syracuse running back Antwon Bailey (loved that guy) who faked rushing it, pitched it back to Nassib who hit Sales for 52 yards and an early touchdown.“The number of homes available for sale remains very low, in fact we have been hovering at about one-third of what we normally have for inventory,” said Rutkowsky.

My initial response would be to choose the 44-yard reception since you know, Syracuse and 44 but it’s hard to deny the excitement in another play.

Syracuse won in what some deemed a controversial finish despite great efforts from many including Ryan Nassib who threw for 239 yards, with 172 of those yards and all three touchdowns going to receiver Marcus Sales. In 2010, a Doug Marrone-coached Syracuse Orange football team made it to the Pinstripe Bowl against the Kansas State Wildcats. It’s also possible unfortunately that Marcus Sales will be remembered more for off-field mistakes than for how productive he could be on the field. It’s quite possible Ryan Nassib could go down as one of the most underrated quarterbacks in Syracuse history. Sadly the results after were not as exciting as Syracuse was unable to capitalize and not only led to a missed field goal by Cole Murphy but Syracuse also eventually lost as well but the play is still exciting to think about.ģ: Nassib to Sales 52-yard Flea Flicker Touchdown in Pinstripe Bowl After getting the first, Riley did an exciting fist pump that got the crowd’s attention and even Toliver’s as he tried to flop and make it look like Riley swung at him. In order to get it, he had to hurdle an LSU cornerback named Kevin Toliver. Riley lined up and ran the ball for a first down. But for me, it will always be the fake field goal against LSU that I’ll remember. Many will point to when Riley once threw a game-winning touchdown or took a fake punt about 40 something yards against Notre Dame I believe. Riley was a local kid from Camden, NY who played for CBA and became possibly the biggest fan-favorite player to ever play special teams. Riley Dixon was so well-liked as an Orange player that Twitter started a Heisman campaign in his honor. Trill then ran the ball 95 yards back for a touchdown securing the victory in the final game of the season.Ĥ: Riley Dixon Fakes a Field Goal, Hurdles LSU Player for 1st Down Suddenly Trill Williams approaches the receiver and instead of tackling him, he decides to rip the ball away and it worked.

Wake completes a pass to a receiver and it looks like he can score or at least give them a goal-line chance. Syracuse scores a field goal and is up 33-30 and now it’s Wake’s turn. The game is tied at 30 and goes into overtime. It’s November 2019 and Syracuse is facing the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. If you watched it and you’re a Syracuse football fan, you likely jumped to your feet and screamed as it happened as I did. This is a more recent play but it’s one my son and I still talk about. I present my top 5 Syracuse football plays!ĥ: Trill Williams Strips the Ball, Scores Overtime Touchdown They’re especially fun to think about to get myself hyped for the first game of a season. These are moments I recall occasionally to help remind myself why I’m a fan even during the struggles of fandom. Today though I’m choosing to focus on my top five favorite Orange football plays since about 1980, which is about as far back as I can recall.
