Syracuse football (Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports)
My column here is about Syracuse football, but I think it’s appropriate to start out with a quote from years ago by Orange basketball head coach Jim Boeheim.
“But they’re quoted from somebody else, an anonymous assistant coach. Let the assistant coach come up to me and say, ‘Gerry McNamara is overrated.’ I’d like to see one of those guys come up to me and say that.”
If you’re more than 20 years old and have been a fan of Syracuse basketball for about that long too, you likely know that’s just a clip from the infamous Jim Boeheim “without Gerry McNamara, we wouldn’t have won 10 *bleeping* games” quote.
