Something I forgot...

I wanted to google retinue, but I didn't know what google meant. Welcome to Syracuse, Chancellor Syverud!!

Welcome Chancellor Syverud!

Syverud is a Norwegian name. Most members of the Syverud family live in or near Minnesota. I would said the probability that his family is related the the family of Eric Sevareid, another guy from the Midwest with Norwegian roots, is extremely high.

Being a former Eagle Scout, I bet he values survival skills, so look for him to spend quality time with CuseTroop and JarHeadJim when he stops by the next big Syracusefan.com tailgate.

It's the gunk that oozes out of your eye - right?

I thought that was called Eye Hockey

I am glad I am contributing to the literary IQ of this forum.

Without a retinue, would even have been able to see her?

Is it bad that I had to Google what the word retinue meant? Based on that and that alone I am guessing that Chancellor Syverud would probably not want to meet me.

I didn't know it, but from the context assumed it meant "entourage."

This thread is great. My takeaways:

We have a new chancellor.
He likes to meet people.
People with skills.
Retinue is not a misspelling of the word "revenue"
The chancellor is also Norwegian.

Wait till I show our Norwegian Chancellor my mead drinking skills! He'd love to meet me!
