Holy crap! As you guys know, I'm much more of a hoops poster but I love the football program, graduated in 1993 and Bleed Orange. I lurk on this board and the football board and have been reading this thread nonstop like all of you other lunatics. I was so bummed about the original reports and was typing a long message. Then I find out RW is Orange! I'm so freaking pumped!

I literally (and I use that adverb correctly) got goose bumps when I read he's ours.

Is it cool enough tonight in NJ to wear my Orange '56 Jim Brown throwback? I'm going out to watch a sports bar to UFC. I think I can sweat a little; Washington gave us enough of a sweat already. What's a little perspiration going to do?:E:E:E:E:E:E:E

BOOM!

I hate that you managed to get one of those throwback jerseys and I just got a refund Those things are cool.

First Bruce Jenner, now this. I can't take much more...

 

[jekelish]

Yea but it wasn't BR announcing it. It was RW on Skype announcing it. I don't think this one is on BR. Just glad RW played everyone.

Let's not say that he "played everyone." He changed his mind.

I hope we can avoid any negativity with a kid who COMMITTED to us.

From 247 Sports:

Four-star running back Robert Washington committed to Florida in an exclusive video interview with Bleacher Report, then announced at a commitment ceremony about 20 minutes after the video went live that he was committing to Syracuse.

Sources informed GatorBait.net that Washington's initial commitment came as a complete surprise to the Florida staff, with communication non-existent between the two over the past few days.

Washington has not yet visited Florida's campus, and the Gators staff has not yet spent an evaluation day seeing Washington, though they considered doing so on Friday. Sources told GatorBait.net that the staff did not use that visit because they did not feel good about their chances for the 5-foot-10, 210-pound back.

In the increasingly bizarre world of recruiting, Washington's last-minute switch to Syracuse -- after filming a segment announcing a commitment to Florida -- ranks as one of the craziest flips yet.

So basically Florida didn't accept his commitment?

I LOVE YOU ALL

Per twitter...

3m3 minutes ago
44 had an impact on Washington’s decision, but he doesn’t commit without strong relationships with Eric White and DeAndre Smith

 

[jekelish]

Can we at least blame BR for trying to scoop his announcement by releasing it before 3:00?

Yes, we can definitely do that. What a tool move by them.

 

[CanadianSU]

YES

 

[Trueblue25]

Time to lock up anthony brown

 

[Ringostar57]

Wow,why would he do that? I don't find it as funny as you.

Check my post 2817 and 2990. C'mon you can take a well played joke. got ya

Well, that explains things a bit. Feel bad for Bleacher Report though. Wait a minute - no I don't. They're awful

Hey, Black Knight works for Bleacher Report.

Agreed. I do find it a bit odd he never contacted BR to tell them not to run it, though. Or maybe he did.

The first step is in place to put Syracuse football on the map, now let's build a strong class and show some results on the field.

 

[Trueblue25]

Thank you to jekelish and bam for their efforts, thank you so much

If you were in arms reach I would smack you upside the back of your head.

 

[Whitey23]

I think I'm happier that CuseHulk will stop posting about Bailey.

 

[CanadianSU]

HE.LLLLL
YES

 

[JDubbin]

Speechless. Floored. Happy.

God only knows what caused the flip yesterday to Cuse. But damn, the gods are shining on us at the moment. If anything you'd think that all the negativity surrounding Cuse the last few days would have pushed him away, not towards us.

Also Jekelish and Bam were incredibly instrumental in this with their major push for the #restore44 movement. Everybody should be on their knees thanking those two for everything they have done to make this happen.

Hey, Black Knight works for Bleacher Report.

Sorry. I support Black Knight and read all his articles and give them page views. As for the rest of that site...
