@TimBrando I love these posts. I’m an 80s kids so for me, it was Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy on NBC AFC games. They took the edge off of the Sundays when it was back to the central NY school gloom on Monday. I was always a Saturday guy as a kid. Probably why I still prefer college to the NFL
@TimBrando Further proof that you just don’t roll out of bed from the NFL & rebuild a college program. It’s a totally different animal, even in this day & age. Pete Carrol at USC was the exception, not the rule. It’s still early in his tenure, but I imagine Mac Brown not looking so bad now
@TimBrando The voice of Charlie Jones on a late Sunday afternoon from Jack Murphy Stadium was one last gasp of the weekend before the Sunday night dread of homework and back to school on Monday morning. Legendary.
@thomabrahamshow@TimBrando That 1987 year for ‘Cuse hoops and football was a once in a lifetime run. Heartbreak with Keith Mart and befuddlement with Pat “tie” Dye both in NOLA. We will probably never see a year like that again in Syracuse.
@TimBrando@espn@WVUfootball Tom Mees was on the mic for many memorable moments in that building. I couldn’t go to this one because it was on a school night. Magical times. https://t.co/QIeP0oChBv
@mark_hokie@dropdgold@TheWildUte Villanova would have stepped up and replaced Temple as the Philly college football team. Howe Long came out of there. They were ready, but just needed the right push to be the eastern PA Pitt to Penn State.
@mark_hokie@dropdgold@TheWildUte Indeed, but Swoffard was too incremental in his approach. If he went bigger, could have had all the Big East football schools plus the Garden in late Feb. He actually saved the Big East as a hoops conference. If he took a rider on Villanova, they would have had Philly too.
@FreddyLA7 c’mon Freddy. come to a Syracuse game road or home. You can find me with the 1.Fc Koln cornhole boards, Kolsch flowing and a giant Orange Captain Blaubear. I’ll even play some Helge Schneider for you.
@dropdgold@TheWildUte@mark_hokie Agreed. ACC should have done this even back when BC, Miami and VT bolted. They initially wanted Syracuse, but Gov Warner threw a fit for VT. The plan should have been to claim the entire East Coast. I hate UConn but they would have raised the bar in hoops as well.
@ThroneSpud Garbage plate is Rochester,NY, not Syracuse. Salt potatoes man. Even the Mets’ AAA club in ‘Cuse goes by the Syracuse Salt Potatoes on promo nights. https://t.co/Mq837RaJ0h. With a name like Throne Spud, c’mon.
