Perspective

[Shenexon]

It's an honor to be here. I got to thinking about the most important people on the Syracusefan.com board, then realized the list is long. I'm more football than basketball, mainly because you folks that spend the winter in Syracuse are nuts...so I focus on football season. So...I started with Dan Johnson...he may be gone but is still an important influence. Dan was the man. He set a standard that's important to me.

Then I think about folks like Tomcat, Go, Rocco, DCCuse, JackBauer, Bees, Legacy, Xtreme, Crusty, CuseRegular, TexanMark, Consigliere, OrangePA, ReedNY, Retro44, BCubs, BamBrewer, KellySyracuse, and many others. For me, it's hard to differentiate because everyone I meet or chat with has something that inspires them about SU football. How am I to have anything but positive thoughts about folks that have some level of passion for SU football? You may be wrong, but I still like your passion.

There are a lot of good analysts here and it's a pleasure to read your thoughts on many subjects. I like my take, thank you very much, but love to get your opinion as well. In the end, I think I find Tomcat the heart of this site...intellectual, informed, & inspired. Whenever I'm with him I feel guilty for sucking the intelligence out of him. TexanMark is the enabler. He's focused on pulling Syracuse fans together, no matter where they may be. I'd follow him anywhere. CuseRegular is the guy for me that symbolizes those of you that have played the game at a high level...I was a spectator. The people that make this site work, Bees, Legacy, Xtreme, CTO, et al, to you I say you've improved my life every day. I offer you sincere gratitude.

I find those of you that are true philanthropists for SU sports to be gods, but think there are many of you. My contribution is a football season ticket. Some of you have contributed millions. Damn...

In the end, I'm honored to be here.

Now that I am back in Syracuse on a permanent basis I look forward to meeting everyone at the Fine lot tailgates. This site is the first and last site I visit everyday. Even though I have only met a handful of people on here, it seems like you already know most of them from interacting with them on here. Thank you to all for making this the best site on the internet.

Great post brother! I feel the same way. This is an amazing community built on the passion we share for Cuse. Great contributions from everyone involved (even if we have our disagreements sometimes). At the end of the day, I respect everyone on here for the energy and enthusiasm they dedicate to the team/school they love. This is a second family for me, as I'm sure it is for most/all of the folks on the board.

Thanks for reminding everyone how lucky we are to be a part of such a special community.

Great. Then I'll get you a football shaped Jell-O shot as well!

Lucky. I'll be at CMU for my only home game this year. Will be at UVA and NCState on the road though.

VA is my only road game this year. Charlottesville is about an hour and a half from where I've lived for a couple of decades+, so don't want to miss it. I might be able to get my kids to come, but don't know who they'd cheer for.

Yeah I recall a couple years ago you lived around there. I mailed you the parking pass for Clemson right?
