Regardless of where you stand on the Doug Marrone debate, I think we can all agree that Doug is passionate about Syracuse University, it's tradition and it's history. So that's what makes a series of tweets from former Syracuse Orange football players Wednesday night so confusing (and troubling).

Troy Nunes, former Syracuse quarterback and blog namesake, visited the university a few days ago and seemed to have some fun while there.

Road trip to the Cuse tomorrow with the fam. Let my son set foot on the actual field I ran backwards 32 yards and took a safety #awesome

A few days later, Troy tweeted this out...

Took my son thru SU Football facility yesterday, amazed at the dynamic In there now. Pre-Marrone alums are not well accepted #badmove

What the heck? Say what you want about Troy's tenure but he's an Orangeman and he was a part of some good times for SU. I find it surprising that we would treat him poorly upon returning. And that's why some of the responses he received were even more surprising...

"@moosenation69: @troynunes I could have told u that......I went bout 2 years ago wasn't welcomed" --- rough to find out.

"@missionae: @troynunes @moosenation69 it's a joke.Everyone I have talked to feels same way.Not welcomed.Very sad" --- that's terrible

@troynunes I will tell you what I think, but not on twitter

In order that's former SU players Quinn Ojinnaka, Erik Kaloyanides & Ryan Bartholomew.

No specifics were provided but where there's smoke there's usually fire. What is it that Doug Marrone & SU Football are doing (or aren't doing) that's making multiple former Orange feel this way? Be interested to see if anything else comes of this. Also, as Scott pondered, wonder what kind of reaction Donovan McNabb gets when he walks through the door...
