I enjoyed Cali. He was generally on the opposite side of most of our views, but he did it in an entertaining way. Also seeing the pride he had in his family really showed who he was.

I liked Frozen's post. Feels weird to like a post about death but I really appreciate him remembering our old pal.
Cali was a special guy. Miss him a lot.
Our board is a family. Yes, it is often dysfunctional and sometimes people challenge each other to fights, throw scallops at fellow board members and try to drive each other crazy.
But I see great acts of thoughtfulness and kindness all the time too. I had great hopes for this board and all of my dreams for it have been met or exceeded.
Props to everyone for (mostly) being civil, kind and helpful to each other.
RIP Cali. I hope you are in a better place and I hope Tyree Smallwood is there with you, scoring touchdowns for the Orangemen.

Spoiler alert: PSU loses every game because if JoePa and His pal. Rutgers loses every game just because they are Rutgers.

So true, it didn’t even cross my mind when I instantly hit the like button reading the post. Just seemed like the natural way to remember a board legend.

One hell of a Syracusefan.com Fine Mess must take place in the afterlife, what with Cali, BocaDoug/FrankLagga and the mighty Orangeyes among so many others up there tailgating and debating all things Orange.
Everyone gets a like for remembering Cali. Always had a new great player who was going to take us to the promised land. Every year in football we were going to win it all. Really miss his enthusiasm.

Cali would be juiced for this years team. He'd have loved Tucker but moreso been Pena's biggest fan.

I think he was very high on Tyree Smallwood, a RB out of Cornwall who never ended up here. I think he had academic issues. Great speed.
Yes, he would be very very excited about this season. RIP Cali.
