Gross needs to resign tonight...(It's back)!

[Jake]

He is in charge of the athletic department and his wife is on charge of promotions.

Get the out of town tonight.

You cannot misspell a FWcking jersey retirement.

Leave. Go back to USC.

 

[MSOrange]

I'm not quite to that point but a public apology is necessary for that embarrassment.

No he needs to leave

 

[NineOneSeven]

I've been waiting to here your take (and others heavily involved in this board and the university, mods, etc)

Love it.

Leave. Go back to USC.

What, dare I ask, did we misspell? And I hope to God it wasn't a name.

 

[Full_Rebar]

Agreed. Pack his USC bag and send him on his way. Clownshow.

Still cant believe his wife has a job in the dept. that tells you everything.

Um...

 

[cuseguy]

They could have fixed it with a Bowie knife.

 

[orangenauburn]

David Bowie got a jersey retired by SU

It was Roosevelt Bouie's name. Spelled it Bowie on his retirement jersey

Six-figure salary, but no office at Manley...at least from what I've heard.

 

[Briancuse]

Its really bad, but I think losing your job over it, might be a bit much.

 

[cuseguy]

Wonder how Louis Oar feels about this?

 

[samspann1]

Wonder how Louis Oar feels about this?

Oher.

 

[GoSU96]

That is unreal.

My impression from day one was that the Dr. isn't a detail oriented guy. More of a big picture, art of the deal kind.

Looks like he hasn't hired anyone who can handle the small, but crucial day to day stuff very well.

Lot of day late and dollar short with this crew.

 

[Alsacs]

The SU AD thought Sam Bowie was getting his jersey retired. That spelling was just shows how much of a chickenchit operation is being run by the AD office. I mean did anybody in the damn office vet the damn casing of the jersey and the person who framed it.
Gross should be ashamed.

 

[orangefan13]

I am willing to bet tyler cooney and trevon ennis don't see anything wrong in this.

Seems to be a problem on the basketball side of things.

Wait what? No office at Manley? That would be beyond defense.

This isn't a PowerPoint presentstion in front of a dozen people in a conference room. This is in front of 30k, national TV and not to mention it's gone viral on social media. An apology is a start but this is isn't the first time this has happened. Truely amateur hour. Shows a lack of detail and a lack of caring about a Syracuse legend. I'm very disgusted and this really bothers me.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Its Dr. Grass cause he must be smoking some reefer!

I once fired someone for something similar.

When I was at Con Edison, we were kicking off some consumer-oriented program with full-page ads in the NYC papers. The writer of the ad ignored my ironclad rule... and did not check it before it went to press. The phone number in the ad -- rather than being a Con Ed number -- was the number of the Iranian consulate in NYC. Worse than that, the ad ran the day after the Iranians had taken over the US embassy in Tehran.

So, suddenly, the Iranian consulate was getting all these phones meant for Con Edison. And they considered this an act of aggression and said we were part of some US plot. So the next thing I wrote, was an apology to the Iranians.

The writer who failed to check the phone number (by calling it, as per standard instructions)... was unemployed the very next day.
