Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4687307, member: 27"] The thing that is strange to me is that SU owns the Drumlins golf course. The private side is really nice and a lot of SU football fans would love to have a chance to play on it and also support the football program. To make matters even more confusing, I know SU is trying to make Drumlins more visible and more heavily used by the general public. It seems to me it would be a no brainer to have a summer golf tournament to support SU sports. Football, basketball, maybe all sports. I know they do one to support the engineering school. I have played in that a number of times. Why not help SU athletics as well? One possible answer: I know SU has a relationship with Turning Stone and I know there is at least one golf tournament held there that benefits SU basketball. It targets high rollers though and I don't think 'normal' fans are who they want playing in it. There was a golf tournament at Links at Erie Village for SU athletics maybe 15 years ago and maybe one at Pompey a few years before. But Drumlins should be the host. That said, major props to the people at Seneca Falls Country Club for putting on their tournament every year. I think they do a great job and do not advocate moving it from there. It just seems to me that SU Athletics is missing a major opportunity to make a lot of money and showcase Drumlins. I know the athletics department is short staffed and setting up an event like this is time consuming. Perhaps someday they will find some time to do it. I think a couple of interns could do most of the leg work without a problem. If I can set up a golf tournament from scratch, anyone can... Back to the Q&A session after the golf. One thing I forgot: someone asked Dino about the running back situation. How are the freshmen RBs looking? Dino said Muwaffaq was doing really well. He also said Ike got hurt and for a while it was thought his injury was a lot more serious than it turned out to be. He just returned to workouts and in back in action after getting shut down for a while. [/QUOTE]
