Bud Tribbey: Good Guy

by Sean Keeley on Jul 20, 2010 11:44 AM EDT

Syracuse, and specifically the football team, has been doing good work in the community, not only the past couple weeks but on a consistent basis. Every once in a while a specific person gets singled out for their efforts and SU defensive lineman Bud Tribbey is the man of the hour when it comes to community service in Syracuse.

Tribbey has been nominated for the 2010 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team for his work in the classroom and in the community. Trib's efforts include...

Hosted children from the Ronald McDonald House and Make-A-Wish Foundation with his football team each week, teaching the kids about football and teamwork

Prepared and served lunches each Saturday afternoon to feed those in need at the city’s Rescue Mission

An active participant in the ‘Cuse Cares engagement program, which allows student-athletes to give, receive and share what they’ve learned in athletics with the community

In order to meet the criteria for the award, players "must be actively involved and committed to working with a charitable organization, service group or community service while maintaining good academic standing."

Not surprisingly, West Virginia does not have a nominee...

Nice to see

Athletes doing this sort of philanthropy because they want to as opposed to as the consequence of some off-the-field altercation (hairnet-wearing Devo, I’m looking at you)

Great job Bud but in reference to that picture, the cheerleader you were leering at said her eyes are up here.

By the way, they do charity work in West Virginia though usually Charity is their cousin who is working the street corners and will give them the family discount.

Bud always struck me as a quality guy

Solid player and person all around. Hope he has a big senior season.

I could go for a veal parm hoagie right now as opposed to this prepackaged Chi-Chi’s lunch I have in front of me.

My smart ass comments aside, I think it is great to see stories like this as opposed to late night traffic citations coming back from Turning Stone or snowball fights turned ugly. I like that someone like Bud is there to represent the school so that when someone does act stupid, I can show my son that not everyone acts like an irresponsible jerk in college, just your father and these other guys. To be fair though, if I had it to do all over again, how can you resist $5 for a red plastic cup and drink all night long? What was I saying again? Oh yeah, keep doing what you do Bud and Orange Nation will enjoy supporting you.

bud...

…was a recruit we stole from VT, i think because of Newhouse (if i remember correctly). One of the the few things football related that i could talk trash about to my 90% VT office in recent years (other than randomly pulling up the youtube clip of the 1998 game) . Glad to see he is also a good guy.
