[QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 1646575, member: 229"]
I’ve read articles today from NJ.com (northern jersey’s post standard) the Sun Sentinel, Miami-Herald, Tampa Tribune, Atlanta Journal and in none of those papers did I see a backhanded headline directed at the local school(s) for ‘landing’ a player.  Not one.  But we’re sensitive?  :noidea:

I don’t think the headline describes the content of the article at all.  In the Miami Herald article, they said the Syracuse coaches were blowing up his phone all day long on Tuesday making sure he was committed to them.  They didn't say, Nelson wanted to commit to Georgia but they were full.  In fact they commended Nick Monroe as killing it down in South Florida, 2nd to only Dennis Erickson for out of state schools.  Bailey’s headline implies we only got him because Georgia was full.  I haven’t seen one shred of print or quote anywhere else that suggests that’s why we got him.

It’s not slamming Syracuse, but it’s backhanded headline that carries a negative tone.  Didn't see anything similar in any other newspaper article I read today.

**On a side note the Miami Herald also quoted Nelson as being excited to suit up against his former teammate - Wake LB Jaboree Williams, anyone remember him?

What is a Syracuse fan's favorite color?
