Eric Dungey | Daily Orange

Congrats to this beat writer. He just kicked the ass of the professional news organization in town with this Dungey angle.

This story reminds me of going to the Stop DWI Tournament in Binghamton in Dec. 2001. A certain point guard from Scranton was playing, and Jim Boeheim and Mike Hopkins were in attendance.

Being the brave soul that I am, I noticed they were sitting by themselves so who decides to sit right behind them? While sitting there, I mention that I'm a student and have season tickets and have been a huge fan, etc.

Anyway - getting to the point of this story, McNamara was on the bench and his high school coach was imploring his team to do something - can't remember what - but something specific and strategic to take advantage of the defense.

The next play out of the huddle, Gerry does exactly what his coach tells him to do and proceeds to lead his team to a pretty easy win after it had been close to that point.

As we noticed from Gerry during his freshman year, he was quiet in his demeanor and approach but was beyond his years in terms of the way he played.

I'm not suggesting Eric will have the impact on the football program that Gerry did for the basketball team, but we can certainly hope that he comes close.

Great story...thanks for sharing.

Imagine what could have been if GMac was 6'3" and could perform windmill dunks like ED? ;-)

We would have put also him at QB and been content if he only won 10 ****** games.
