My SU class was '62, so I've seen some good Orange football games, even though I DID have to brave the elements in cold, old Archbold Stadium. So what happened? Why is the team SO BAD now? It's an embarrassment, actually. And I get the feeling it isn't going to get any better anytime soon. And if the good Dr. Gross wants to make the team a caricature of ugliness, he certainly picked the right uniforms to do it with. They are the most butt-ugly football togs I've ever seen on any gridiron, anywhere. They don't look like the Orange of old...more like the Pumpkin Bumpkins. They play like it, too.

If I were still living back there, I'd boycott the football games. Maybe if the team started losing some real money, the administration would get the hint that they GOTTA get that football program back on track. PLEASE!
