So far, Gorman's game-worn jersey, game shorts and velour warmup suit have all gone the way of the bidders. For just $250, you could have worn a Matt Gorman jersey with pride to the next Syracuse home game. For only $50, you could have worn authentic Cuse shorts in your next pick-up game in stead of those ratty Umbros you refuse to throw away cause you scored three goals while wearing them once at sleepaway camp. And for $100 you could have worn the warm-up suit and, without warning, ripped it off as you entered the supermarket to go buy a pack of Oreo Cakesters. Alas...
Gorman, who currently makes a living playing for the Neptune basketball squad of the Irish League, may just be looking for a little extra spending money. Perhaps to buy himself a profile photograph that doesn't make him look like a molester.
If this really is a case of Matty selling off his prizes possessions for a little extra coin, that actually makes me feel pretty sad. Especially when I think about the many, many people involved with the NCAA and Syracuse University who never picked up a basketball during Gorman's four years and yet made plenty of money off of him and his teammates. Hopefully he's got a few extra jerseys lying around in his parent's basement.
And hey, even if Matt's not doing well off the court in Ireland, he's certainly holding his own ON the court.
[DCU Saints’ long serving coach Joey Boylan] had to endure his side succumbing to the prowess of Neptune’s Matt Gorman.I think we know what they're talking about. We've succumbed to Matt's "prowess" ourselves...
