Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 3942974, member: 39"] I said nothing about how big a fan you are. I said you don't have the same perspective as a local person who grew up following the team. Big difference. Not sure how you have more connection to a University than anyone else, other than proclaiming it so. You know a few people? OK, so do I. Big deal. Final thought from me on this: #44 is a part of the city of Syracuse, the University as a whole, and specifically the football program's history. The number means a ton to the city - and if the story is told the proper way, could mean a lot to others growing up. Those kids become fans, and those fans become ticket holders/donors/students/alums. It's bigger than just a singular recruit. (And yes, I am hyperbolizing it slightly - but my point remains). [/QUOTE]
