A relic speaks...let's say vivid is not the write term. I think zi have every play of that season memorized. I can still hear the thrilling radio broadcast of the Penn State game, the huge west coast game against UCLA, where the Orange quickly destroyed a strong UCLA squad on TV. I can still see Ernie scoring the long pass TD in the Cotton Bowl on a 17 inch Philco bw tv screaming my head off. Really, folks it was not much different than today as far as being a fan goes.

I think it is age dependent but my view of SU is it is a football school that has a great BB program...not a BB school first. Contrary to many on the board I firmly believe SU can again contend for national honors. I see to much defeatism and negativity from some posters regarding the future. Marrone reminds me of Ben and Mac. And his guys play their asses off. The future is bright so go to the games , support this team like he'll....it is going to get better.

While I am at it. The Nebraska game was huge in rebuilding the program.it was this win that put SU back in the top 25 after years of football horror. Think of that game as if Alabama was in the dome on Sat and SU physically beat them up in a big way to win. That is how it was.

As for USC.....I am not saying we will but would an Orange win surprise me?...no.
