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

[Cootface]

Giansante is a Moron

... and a liar

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Does Ernie even have a thumb on his left hand?

Pretty sure that arm's on backwards.

i demand drug& alcohol testing - of the ad staff

Exactly, and if they test positive, they can keep their jobs..

Here's the thing that is driving me nuts: Giansante was quoted saying NO ONE LOOKED AT IT until the ceremony started! How the hell does that happen?! How the hell does NO ONE take a look at it even out of pure curiosity?!

Come on. They were looking at it BEFORE it was given to Rosie (er, Louie). They all saw it then. No one caught the error? The more I think about this, the more absurd it gets. No one in charge of anything there ... has any institutional memory. Or tries to acquire it.

Either that or his real nickname was Ernie Three Fingers

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Giansante said the school had one employee in charge of ordering the jersey and picking it up, and that no one else from the athletic department looked at it before the ceremony began.

Where did they order this from? Taiwan?

If it was made by a vendor in Syracuse, that's even worse. Oh Lord

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a statue of the greatest player to ever wear the number 44!"...("holy crap, did we forget the #44)"?!?!

 

[Jake]

Holy I don't think I've ever seen this. The woman in front of Gross' face says it all. "What should we make the statue out of?" "Umm...lead?"

In fairness, it was melted down into 2.222 #2 pencils.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Holy . . . . I don't think I've ever seen this. The woman in front of Gross' face says it all.

"What should we make the statue out of?"

I know her (she's annoying) and, a mutual acquaintance told me, she had no clue who Ernie Davis was and apparently didn't care.

cto if you've said already I apologize, but, will a discussion take place about this? Who will oversee said discussion? I assume Giansante answers to Gross? Gross answers to? Syverud?

 

[GoSU96]

If I'm not mistaken, and Tomcat I'm sure has all the details there was A LOT of drama around the first statue.

 

[AZOrange]

That's like the george constanza beach photo bad...

 

[BlackKnight76]

I would hope so, based on how that thing looks. I'm just glad someone pushed to get the new statue, which is great (thanks, as always, OE).

 

[AZOrange]

It looks like a mannequin hand

It's nike "platinum" duh...

Yes, Giansante reports to Gross, and Gross reports to the chancellor. I have to assume there will be some discussion ... in that this screw-up turned what should have been a joyous celebration into a national embarrassment. (Rightfully, the school's public image is very important to the chancellor).

That was my first reaction too. And the head that looks like the late steve sabol. Sorry but this made my bad week

I just got caught up on the press release. Let me say that I'm even more pissed off. The explanation just shows me they don't care and they are blowing this off. I think I might write a letter to the chancellor.

Thank you. I know it seemed like a dumb question, but, I'm honestly dumbfounded right now. Completely, and utterly, dumbfounded.

The ground is swelling.

I'd have like to have been a fly on the wall at Jimmy B's house tonight... I can only imagine how he felt about it.

 

[thebigeast44]

They are so bad at these things - boggles the imagination...

Exactly. Like he has nothing else to think about lately.
