Andy Rautins' Hair: A Retrospective

Why do you think fans have been so preoccupied with your hair? I don’t know. The attention last year was definitely warranted with that haircut. Looking back on it, I don’t know if I made the best (hair) decision. But coming back with a fairly regular haircut this year, I still feel like I get a little bit too much attention for the hair.

That's Andy Rautins during his exit interview for Syracuse Basketball.  And he's right.  Andy's hair does get a little bit too much attention.  But such is Andy's hair.  Would you tell the sun not to shine in the sky above?  Of course not, just like you wouldn't tell Andy Rautins' coif to do the amazing things it does atop that precious Canadian skull. 

Let's take a look back through the years at what mattered most about Andy during his time at SU...his 'do.

We got off to an auspicious start...

The magic began when Andy let loose up top and stayed short on the sides...

And then it happened...

And once it started, it couldn't be stopped...

It even expanded to parts of the head we didn't know were possible...

Like all good things, it changed.  Some say for better, some for worse...

Finally, it settled into what we know now is The Perfect Rautins Cut, perfected by science for it's symmetry and proportional balance.

But regardless of whether or not it's a crew-cut, faux-hawk or some crazy hybrid therein, Andy Rautins will keep on keepin' on.

Is it sad

that I see your update on twitter and I race on to the site to check what’s new?

i need to work, at work.

I skip the twitter

and pretty much stalk the site all day. The links! So many links! And as the administrator of the site Sean can see who’s here and how much, I think. Am I right, Sean? If so, do I need to pull it back a little? Come on, you can be honest.

Wes we can!

If sean can get it, then the government can get it… Damn they know my every move!

I’ve doubled my comment output since January.

I’m addicted and I don’t care.

Memories of the circa 1987 PSA:

Dad: “Who taught you how to use dis stuff?”

Son: (Annoyed, interrupted whilst on telephone): "You, alright! I learned it from watching YOUUU.)

Dad: (Perplexed realization of dread, looks down in shame)

L.A. Looks in this instance, not the junk.

Parents who gel, have children who gel. Thanks for the memories, Andy. And the shooting and passing and defense too. Beat St Johns!

Rautins got tossed?

When Depaul raped us?

I don’t remember that.

while reading this article on my droid

during my ten minute walk back to the car from work, I couldn’t stop laughing at the pictures. Definitely creeped people out as I walked by. Thanks.
