PrintWhat else do I need to do to sell this video to you? Nothing. It sells itself...
On his biggest fear:
"When football was going bad, that was, to me, that wasn't where I wanted to be. But now we've got the right coach and all those things. So things may not happen right when you want them, but if you keep at it they'll happen on time, if you know what I mean...
Sometimes you take chances and they're not gonna work. We took a chance on someone in FOOTBALL, it didn't work out...on paper it looked good, but you just attack it, you fix it and you keep moving."
So if I distilled that correctly, DOC's greatest fear is...Greg Robinson. Something, I think, we can all agree on.

Jim Brown's 44
The print in the background of Jim Brown wearing 44…too bad no one else can have the opportunity to wear that number again. 44 has such a history at SU and DOC Gross “Shut It Down”. I believe the ban on current players be lifted so the lacrosse, football, and basketball coaches can appropriately use it as a recruiting tool to land student/athletes who have the potential to match the talents the like of Mr. Brown.
'91 SU alum
Someone on the lacrosse team wears #44
Matt Harris.

It could be used it basketball too if someone really wanted it
Syracuse doesn’t retire basketball number, they just “honor them”
I would love to agree
But from a realistic perspective, being able to wear #44 probably isn’t going to convince a top-flight recruit to come to SU. Nowadays its more about the wins and losses , facilities, and likelihood of making the NFL that brings in top notch talent.

I tend to agree
We should put blue “44” sticks on the back of our helmets though… like the Ohio St. Buckeye, etc.
Oh wait… those would be too small to see the Nike logo on them. Nevermind.
Dictated, but not read.
print in the background
is Ernie Davis. But I agree with your point.
Lacrosse’s lucky number is 22, which is not retired. 44 has never been a thing with them so they keep using it.

Lol
Wow that really was obvious. Poor Doc. wakes up at night in cold sweats looking out the window in a panic as if he could see Greg Robinson out there… somewhere… coaching.
The Wisconsin football team
Their motto—violating a trademark held by Mike Williams—is “It’s not running up the score if your defense is miserably inept. Remember that!!!!”
The basketball team’s motto: “No athleticism and a lot of white guys, but our coach is still coaching and your coach is golfing.”
Dictated, but not read.
+1 for the Doctor Who reference
I just wanna tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
Finally, Dr. Gross and I have something in common. His worst fear is my worst fear, too.
