Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 749458, member: 43"] I am not belittling the efforts I just find it hard to believe Swafford pushed for Syracuse because of a marketing push from Syracuse a few years before that no one but syracuse fans really even noticed. Well I understand what your saying about the VT thing I am not sure exactly what you wanted Jake and SU to do about it at that point. Once the government got invovled our hands were pretty much tied, should we have called up our senators or Governor to start lobbying on our behalf or arguig with the Va Governor? The bottom line is Syracuse was a top candidate for the ACC and would have gotten in among there top 3 or even 2 choices if not for Va Governor. All of that despite having zero marketing efforts in NYC at the time. I know people want to think our push to make SU NYS team or NYC or whatever played some role in us getting a good seat in re-alignment but I just dont see it and 03 bears that out. [/QUOTE]
