The retirement of #44, perhaps our greatest, almost mythical tradition, was the epitome of the sucktitude during the Gross, Grob, Cantor nightmare.

It seemed every game at the dome back then involved some retirement ceremony essentially signaling the end of Syracuse football while maybe adding a couple more ticket sales.

Screw that.

Bringing it back now is fitting as we make our way home to rightful prominence. I'd do it at the end of the season preferably and hopefully around the time of a bowl game, create some buzz.

Remember who we are, this LSU old-timer does....

"I don’t know where some of the fan base got the idea Syracuse is a nothing school. Up east they have a long and storied football tradition. They are not a Nicholls State or weak sister team. No not SEC top of the line level, but they can hold their own. The three times I’ve seen them play LSU (including a mid-1960s Sugar Bowl), they have played the Tigers for 60 minutes of tough ball; the outcome was always in doubt - and the arrogant ignorant parts of our fan base were always surprised, because they always underestimated the Orangemen from Syracuse."
