Old man rant - Syracuse Social Media

[Ragman2000]

Following Cuse on social media (my particular drug of choice is Facebook), they often tag players in posts. However, they always post a username with no indication of who the player is using their real name.

This day in age with our roster turning over every year and with players depicted in helmets, I haven't a clue who the post is about. I can barely remember the name of a transfer who never played for us we got last January, let alone their social media handle. "Blobby_McRizzinstuffins" or "BigCheez-Mcgillicuddy" means nothing to me. Would it kill them to also list their actual name in the post or on a graphic?

"Blobby_McRizzinstuffins"

If Blobby_McRizzinstuffins is not a real handle, it should be.

Maybe mine...

Do you both still have AOL email addresses?

No, been meaning to install that CD I got in the mail recently though to get started. Found it the other day stuck in my 1998 Entertainment Weekly I'm finally catching up to reading.

If you click on their profile when tagged on IG, sometimes they have their name added there.

CDs? Fancy.

I am still using 5 1/4 floppies and a 2400 baud dial-up modem.

I was going to joke about still coding in cobol but that could go down a rabbit hole that would get this thread deleted.

So I abstained.

The sweetest sound on the way to get Bees or NRF camp tidbits back in the day at the AOL board

The best stuff is on instagram. Highly suggest adding that app and just follow cuse football.

I suggest you cross reference the player on Instagram with their jersey number on cuse.com for their true identity

Much easier to ask here, as some of our posters are virtual savants when it comes to player ID

Cuse Insta is killing it with these preseason posts but yeah, these kids want their names know right? Even something just above the hashtags - like “featured here” and include the name and jersey numbers of those in the pics/video.

I could probably still make a pyramid spin around and topple over in green screen. Turtle graphics was my jam in 1985.
