Message: [QUOTE="leftytg, post: 1075872, member: 2651"] you speak as if going to a "name school" is some kind of moral failure, where you'd hope some wise people around you would correct. I mean, is it all that bad to want to go to a place where there is a passionate fan base that loves football? To play in front of 100k fans in a place where people live and breathe football? I love Syracuse and always will, but we struggle to get 30k in the Dome most weeks and there is no broad community support for football like at other schools. Now being in that environment isn't for everyone, and to each kid their own. But to deride kids who are attracted to the high intensity football cultures of the factories is just myopic and looking through extreme orange colored glasses. The fact that Syracuse recruits at an elite level in basketball and an average, at best, level in football only serves to bring the orange colored glasses into sharper vision, as docsu is trying to point out.
