Why didn't you go to Duke? Cause I wanted to go to Syracuse.

That's awesome!!!

 

[All4SU]

I am officially irrelevant...

 

[albanycuse]

Off the beaten path type of interview, I’m digging it.

 

[cuseattle]

Joe doesn't lie

Off the beaten path type of interview, I’m digging it.

Joe did a good job handling that guy. And the lie detector is definitely broken.

That “interview” was terrible. That guy only knew that Joe averaged 50 points and was N.Y. State’s all time leading scorer.

Heady company.

Here's hoping that in a few years, he'll be viewed as belonging on that list with some of those other names.

 

[HOFCeluck]

I count two heisman winners, a NFL starting QB, and the son of the most insane man alive. Heady company indeed.

There’s a shot at John Tawa out of nowhere.

I could go on for days about John Tawa.

John Tawa “of Pawa” is a legend.

[Todoubled23]

Could build a program culture around this kid.

 

[CA Monk]

Quite the accolade. Can't wait to see it all play out at a refurbished Dome.

 

[Briancuse]

I just don't get why he is ranked so low.

 

[Orangefan1]

Don’t get the haters. His desire to win is incredible

 

[albanycuse]

He’s got a lot of pressure on him to perform at Syracuse. Accolades come with big expectations.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I just don't get why he is ranked so low.

short and white, therefore, must not be a good athlete.

Good thing he is part Devo.
