daryl gross’s lone connection to syracuse university is his paycheck.

he doesn’t bleed orange. he didn’t grow up orange. syracuse is his employer.

what does he care if our traditions WE BUILT before he got here get trashed (you know, like the football team for the last 4 years).

i couldn’t imagine a WORST person to be in charge of the future of 44. he is so disconnected from the fan base its not even funny. run that weasel out of town before he ruins something else great!!! [u know.. like the ernie davis statue..]

But given that it’s not, the next step is how the university works to keep this tradition of 44 alive. We need much more than a jersey in the rafters to actually pass this history down to generations of Syracuse fans. Otherwise it will fade even faster than a series of poor-performing athletes on the field wearing the jersey.

of the fans to keep the tradition of 44 alive, not the University’s.

The University does not “create” traditions, the fans do.
