OMG The framed jersey they presented Rosie ...

[OrangeViking]

Spelled BOWIE. How ridiculous is that? Someone should be fired.:bang:

 

[Digger]

Spelled it Bowie on the jersey they presented him (not the one hanging in the rafters)

What an absolute disgraceful job by whoever was involved.

 

[tipphill]

given the MULTITUDE of fax pas by the atheletic dept. dr. gross is responsible. it amazes me the amateurism of the athletic dept. in critical high profile situations. omg is right

 

[Toga]

Lewie and Bowie

 

[jgeorge322]

Amateur

 

[samspann1]

Ugh. Embarrassing.

 

[JAXCUSE]

Just so sad...

 

[samspann1]

Just so sad...

What's worse is that very few are probably surprised by this.

 

[NineOneSeven]

How does that happen?
You have one job.

 

[shandeezy7]

They better get in touch with Lawrinson14 to get him some good photoshopped images with the correct spelling

 

[senorpalmer]

On a positive note, if I heard the announcers correctly in the first half, SU won the first Big East championship with Lewie and David Bowie.

Absolutely unbelievable and inexcusable. I spent my entire career in communications. Rule one: Never make anything public until you check it for accuracy. Rosie has been part of the program for nearly 40 years. How many times has his name been out there? How many people saw that before it was unveiled? Dozens, I am sure.

 

[Marsh01]

Jesus christ. Our athletics department sucks

 

[Col. Bleep]

SU apparently lives by a version of the Nike motto: just do it ...without checking anything.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Sam Bowie. Kentucky uber alles.

Fire them all seriously. This is the final straw

Gross or lael

 

[NineOneSeven]

That's epic.

Honestly. How does that happen? Seriously. How?? It's so bad it doesn't make sense.

That's the most mind boggling part to me. Shoot, even if you don't realize it until it's too late to re-do, just turn the jerseys around in the frame for god's sakes and show the front. Sure it'll seem a little strange but far better than showing everyone you spelled his name wrong.

[STEVEHOLT]

Maybe who ever chose that spelling was UNDER PRESSURE

 

[Toga]

 

[orangefan13]

Why not just give it to him later?? Really? Makes me think they didn't even notice.
