I thought this thing was supposed to be benign. Keep fighting Rob, and punt that thing outta there. We’re all behind you.

Go, fight, and win.

Just heard his statement on Brent Axe

Keep up the great attitude, Rob. We’ll all be thinking of you.

Other people look, Andy Rautins can SEE.

Hang in there man and get well.

You need to make it to the NFL – I know at least one NFL team cough Giants cough that could use a new punter next year.

Seriously man – keep fighting this thing. We’re all behind you.

Ugh

how did this go from a benign tumor to brain cancer? Damn…I guess we didn’t know the whole story – I just hope everything turns out. Rob, if you see this, we love you man! Be well, I’m sure you can kick this things ass.

Sometimes docs can't know the whole story till they cut open a few things and actually look

Not very reassuring, but they are on this fairly quick. Plus, given he is an athlete, he will get some top notch doctoring.

Best wishes to you Rob.

Go Orange(men)!

Get well, Rob.

You can do it.

Hey Ladies!
Allred threatens fellow ambulance chaser with libel/defamation lawsuit...
One of the key contests in Syracuse's march to the national championship in 1959 was a titanic clash with unbeaten Penn State on Nov. 7, 1959 in University Park, PA. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 7 and the Orangemen No. 4. 

The 20-18 victory propelled Syracuse to the No. 1 in both the AP and UPI polls which they held for the remainder of the season to claim the consensus National Championship. This is the Universal Newsreel account of that contest.
