Good recap.  The coaching staff got a lot younger with Shafer taking over.  They seem to a man to be personable, passionate and focused.  I thought Marrone's staff was pretty close but as you say, these guys are tighter.  That even applies to the GAs (who by the way seem quite impressive).
 
Really good time.  Sorry all the Syracusefan.com people didn't get together and have a talk.  OE, Deubs, Coach Lea and I played 17 holes and arrived just as salads were being served, so we missed out on the cocktail hour stuff, when it would have been ideal to do some networking.  We need to get more organized about this for next year.
 
But if you want to talk SU football in June with a bunch of fanatics, and have a chance to meet some of the coaching staff, this is a great event to attend.
 
What else?  Coach Lea really wants to spend some time at Syracuse, is tired of moving to a new city every 2 years, would love to stay with the incoming class and at least see them through to graduation.  He says he has a great group of players to work with.
 
Coach Shafer is a great speaker.  He got excited and dropped a few cuss words but as others have noted, this was a special private event where he was with people he felt comfortable with and he wanted to get the attendees fired up.  It worked; the speech was really well received.
