I support Drum Week 100% and frankly don't see any downside. First and foremost, it's enjoyable for the soldiers. Working with the players is a nice break for them -- especially since many were recently deployed to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban. These guys are laying it on the line to keep us all safe so we can have the luxury of fan forums and arguments about college football.

Second, I think Drum is a bonding opportunity for the players. We have lots of new guys .. some of them still teenagers. The chance for them to get to know each other and learn about the discipline and sacrifice of the US military is worth its weight in gold. As far as being away from the SU facilities for a few days, the team has a long, challenging schedule ahead of it this year .. including a game 1,200 miles away at Florida State. I think they can put on their big boy pants and visit the troops an hour and a half up Route 81.
