I Learned Something Today

Syracuse blogger MariusJanulisForThree, in his blog Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician, calls attention to the Syracuse appearance in UUOTD. I appreciate his comments, and his link.

I did not know that Orangemen was an Indian nickname. I can appreciate, though, the difficulty in calling a women's team the Lady Orangemen, and in having a ton of different logos.

Thanks!

Hey...its a great feature and uniform ugliness is a topic I'm fond of following.

The good news with the Syracuse uniforms is, when we heard Nike was streamlining everything, we assumed we'd become Oregon-East. So, as tacky as the unis are, at least we're not THAT.

That's right, you should be glad you're not Oregon of the East. Man, those are hideous. Ugh!

Thanks for the comments and the traffic!!

BTW, Troy Nunes was awesome! LOL

I felt bad for him from the first time I saw him play, because he was a spare-to-fair quarterback trying to continue the legacy of Marvin Graves and Donovan McNabb. It wound up being the time when Syracuse football fell off the map.

There were about 3 QB's recruited during his tenure that were supposed to take over and lead us to glory. That worked out well...
