Wildhack retires today

[Toga]

I know you're not saying he should be considered but he's head and shoulders the worst athletic director in division one athletics and there isn't another D1 school in the country at which he would still be employed after the last decade he has had at UMass. It is disgraceful what he has done to the athletic department.

And, from what I have seen up close and heard from people intimately around athletics there, he's really not a great guy on top of it all. He doesn't even deserve a phone call from Syracuse.

McCord was a stud for SU, but he's on his second team in two seasons in the NFL. Let's not throw the term unicorn out there loosely.

For Syracuse, as a transfer, he’s a unicorn.

The stars aligned perfectly to bring him here.

You need to look at his SU stats and performance to decide if he is a unicorn, not his pro career.

I just want to congratulate IHeart on one of the better scoops this old scribe has seen since these whizbang computers landed on The Hill.

Huzzah, huzzah, huzzah!

The umass AD wife grew up in Syracuse definitely some connections there.

He’s awful.
