You think Gross would rather keep it retired than let HCSS offer it to an elite RB recruit?

It's the real reason that he stepped down.

Based on Gross' comments I have read in the various "44" articles, I totally get that impression also. He was still being pretty hard headed about it even in the past couple months if I remember correctly.

He could kick-start it but I still want to use #44 in the recruiting of every running back with each of them knowing that they could earn the #44, instead of giving it to one guy and closing it down for anyone else until he leaves.

The answer is yes of course he would because admitting a mistake that was long time criticized wasn't ever his style." I have a PHD and from USC. How could I be wrong?"

"That 4 should go first and that 4 is second." "Nah, the second 4 is the one that goes first and the first 4 goes second." "Does it matter 4 is 4?" (Same 2 guys that screwed up Bouie and Ishmael) Didn't know that Lloyd and Harry worked uniforms at SU.

Exactly my thoughts! It's hard to build momentum and excitement off a 3-9 season. But with the Washington signing and this announcement, we have some! Don't try to kill it - just ride it for crying out loud!

"Special" players can gain admittance to Syracuse? Thought participation in the "Special" Olympics made you ineligible by the NCAA.

The GRob curse ...is now giving away to The Ginsante Gag.
The University retreats from yesterday's announcement a bit. Good gravy, Charlie Brown.

SU caved to the Twitter-pa-looza yesterday from McNabb and now have totally made the situation even worse.

LOL again typical Syracuse take what should have been a slam dunk announcement/situation and we find a way away to it up. Unbelievable.

The freaking SU football Twitter account tweeted "It's back". What needed clarifying?!
What a total clown show.
It makes you wonder why anyone should bother supporting this athletic department.
Incompetence abounds.

What drives me nuts is that they ignored the incredible buzz from the fanbase, and the fact that about 95% of the feedback was wildly positive...for one or two dissenting opinions. Unbelievable.
