[quote=" Gordy Gronkowski was a player at SU and none of his 3 sons came to SU I wonder if that is because of his views toward SU.[/quote]
 
Just a guess from having bumped into him but I think he has no issues with SU.  I met him at a packed bar (Balloons) during Fallfest in Ellicottville when Rob Gronkowski was in high school.  I had no idea who he was other than this semi-older fella looked like he could wreck house or be on a poster for a national rugby team. 
 
We were fighting the crowd to get drinks and I told him he was my fullback and needed to get me through to the bar.  He said he played at SU in his day then said his name.  I told his son looked like he was going to be something and that I am an SU fan so I was pulling for him to go there.  He was amazed I knew him then starting talking sports.  He went across the bar and got another son to come over and talk with us - that one played baseball.
 
Overall great guy and I think his kids going elsewhere was a matter of their personal choices 'cuz he was all for SU getting better and spoke well of  SU.   But again, this was a mere chance encounter after a bunch of beers.
