Marrone Anti-Tradition?

Bnoro, you just graduated from SU, no? Don't you expect a little respect whenever you return to campus? If these guys are convicts or stains on society, then fine. But if some unwelcome culture for past alums actually exists (not agreeing yet that it does), then it must be fixed.

I don't expect anything when I return to campus. I go and visit my advisors and professors but if they're busy then obviously I'm not slighted. And I certainly wouldn't bitch about it on Twitter. If Troy wanted a nice reception maybe he should have called ahead.

I guess I'm confused about the entire issue. I would hope that Troy has attended some home games with his son before this. I know that there's an active Football Lettermen's Club (they sponsor that raffle ticket sale every home game) called the Syracuse Football Club. I would hope that Troy is a member to stay somewhat involved. They have activities like tailgate parties before games, meetings, golf outings, officers, board of directors and sponsor a yearly Zunic awards dinner etc and is open to all past players, coaches etc associated with the program. Players from all different eras belong.They even have their own website. I wish I would win their raffle someday.

I'm not going to trash the guy - he played at SU and I cheered for him to succeed back then and that won't change but there are so many avenues that he could have taken to stay connected and involved that doesn't involve twitter. Hopefully everything gets straightened out and that all the past players take advantage of the opportunities of a mutual supportive relationship with their alma mater and become involved.
