Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 239621, member: 780"] After reading that, I have no idea what you are arguing. The first thing that jumped out at me was your complete mischaracterization of the 1970's. Do you have any idea who Frank Maloney even is (or was)? As bad as the GRob era was for SU football, the 1970's were even worse. I sat in Archbold and watched SU play against quality opponents and there weren't 10,000 fans in the stands. It was a time when there was a university committee to downgrade or eliminate football. The committee recommended we de-emphasize the sport but were over-ruled by the Chancellor. It was in the 1970's when basketball started to seriously crowd SU football off the stage with our first Final Four under Roy Danforth and than Boeheim. It's been almost 50 years since a real star wore 44. It's a great memory for us old timers, but gor everyone else it's increasingly the far distant past. [B] [/B] [/QUOTE]
