Message: [QUOTE="Symphony Steve, post: 3347796, member: 911"] I was on the Hill at that time. It was the height of both Vietnam War protests and civil rights protests. Ben was just out of touch with the times, many players, mostly black but some white, felt that way, and former Ben supporters like Jim Brown said so. And he was trying to be constructive. To me, and I'm a football fan, SU football seemed sorta like an anachronism, more a chance for alumni to get together over cocktails than something that was an integral part of the student experience. Reading 'The Ol' Scout' Arnie Burdick in the SU papers only reinforced that sense. Everything was steeped in nostalgia for a time for which I had no memory. Gotta admit, it was a strange time.
