Syracuse chose this weekend's Clemson game to make sure there was a spotlight on the Plaza 44 ceremony. They forgot to think about what else that spotlight might shine on.
September 13, 2008 should be remembered as a glorious day in the history of Syracuse Orange football. The Express, the movie based on the life of Ernie Davis, had just had it's premiere at the Landmark Theatre. Bob Costas, Jim Brown and Floyd Little were there. Dennis Quaid and Ernie Davis portrayer Rob Brown were honorary captains for the football team.
