Like many die hard SU fans I find myself scanning this site and others for any new that is SU related. Whether it is for football, basketball, lacrosse, soccer etc.
It use to be that we would get occasional oranges or some other emoji and sit up waiting to see who would be the newest member of the orange athletic family. Now with the portal we are bombarded with news of players leaving schools and entering the portal. Some only after being on a campus for a few months or a year. With the new form of free agency in college sports as fans we must wait literally until the whistle blows to know who is on the team.
As an alumni and a fan it saddens me. I know it is the new normal in college athletics. It seems that the only thing to do is wait until August or October or the spring to see which athletes will be on the team.
Disappointing but as a alumni and forever supporter of SU I guess it’s my new normal. In the end I will watch every game and support the team that represents my university. The only thing that matters as an alumni is the name on the front of the jersey not the back.
Forever Orange.
