Scott Hanson

[SWC75]

Scott Hanson is the host of "NFL Red Zone", which is the way I and probably a lot of us watch NFL football on a Sunday afternoon. Somebody just tied a record Marvin Harrison had set, (consecutive 100 yard games or something), and Hanson referred to my old collegiate teammate Marvin Harrison.

I didn't know Scott was an SU guy. I looked at the current media Guide and Scott is listed as a letterman in 1992. the early 90's are a gap in my collection of Media Guide, (I don't recall why there is a gap). But I did find a preseason 1991 magazine I kept devoted to SU football. it had a roster and Scott is listed as #60 on the roster, a junior offensive lineman from Rochester Michigan, (Bishop Foley High School). He's listed as being 5-10 192, which, (if accurate) means that he couldn't have been an offensive lineman.

I found this on the internet:

He says that he was SU's version of Rudy, not only on the football team but his attempts to get into Newhouse. he also discusses Coach Mac at length. Brent makes referecne to Scott NFL Rded Zone bio and it, indeed says:

"He has run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain... Climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa... Hiked the Great Wall of China... Gone great white shark cage diving in Australia and Mexico... and visited 6 of the 7 continents (with only Antarctica remaining)."

It sounds like something the Most Interesting Man in the World might have done.

There are two hosts for the RedZone channel. Scott and Andrew Siciliano(who I get to watch here in Ohio). I think Andrew does a great job.

They both attended Syracuse. Nice gig for them !!!! And great for the University!

Funny story from 2013 Big East Tourney. It was the last official Big East Tourney and I had never been able to make but it had always been on my bucket list. I buy tickets for group of us for night session on Friday night hoping that we make it. Got lucky as we beat Pitt in OT Thursday so I fly up Friday morning. After we knock off Hoyas friend and I go scalping in the arena for Sat night tiks. We were more than slightly intoxicated at this point but ended up buying 5 lowers off a Uconn fan (only non douche uconn fan I’ve ever met). Stick the tickets in my pocket not even really caring where the seats were in my inebriated state.

Next morning wake up on my buddy’s couch and open up my coat pocket to see if the tickets I had bought were even real and if so where the seats were. To my surprise they were about 4th row center court. So after some St paddy’s day pub hopping and pregame at the Blarney we get to our seats.

Cuse fan directly ahead of me turns around and starts chatting about the team/game etc. He tells me he had just bought his tiks that morning and flew up from Florida for the game because he wasn’t going to miss us in the finals for the last BET. We chatted, drank, high fived, screamed at refs all game. He told me that he used to be used to be walk on snapper for the football team when Marvin Graves was playing. About halfway through the second half Louisville fan next to me asks him if he was Scott Hansen from the red zone channel and he confirmed. Ha, I was clueless because I had only known Andrew Siciliano as the red zone guy on Directv package that I had. Anyways my crew and I had a good time hanging w Scott and I can say he is definitely a diehard Cuse fan which is cool.

He was a walk-on. Lived in Sadler 89-90. Nice guy.

So he was a snapper. That would explain how a 5-10 192 guy was listed as "OL". He stuck his little body in there, snapped the ball and hoped for the best.
