What Goes Around....

Remember this?

"Paul (Pasqualoni) was here 14 years ... We got five in one year, that'd be 70 if we were here that long .... We'll recruit their tails off. They're (Rutgers) a one-year wonder. Do I like them? No. This recruiting thing? You wait and see ..."


For those who've forgotten, that was GRob's smack talk aimed directly at Rutgers last October. Well, I waited. Here's what I see.

Rivals Top 10 NY State Recruits 2009

See anyone commiting to Syracuse? Not a soul. Now granted we've seen GRob pull a rabbit out of his hat before. Granted the surprise commitment of Lobdell hasn't beared any fruit so far. But with Darrick Scott de-committing that brings the grand total of 2009 SU verbals to 1. Plus a soft verbal from NJ reciever Leavander Jones. So thats 2 to Rutgers' 18 - yes you read that right - 18 commits for 2009. So much for "recruiting their tails off".

Remember, Orange Faithful, what goes around..... comes around.

Fantastic recall on that...

Awesome. Sad, but awesome.

Thanks. Don't think I forgot about the 2005 slogan of: "we're going to build a wall around the state of NY". I just didn't think it'd be fair to GRob to throw two stones at once.

Somebody save me, is there anything good coming out of this football season? Oh wait, if the team don't win they might kick the HC out finally. Guess there is something good then eh?

Great job in this post!
