It’s a big day here in the ‘Cuse, as we host the world premiere of The Express – a movie about the life and too soon death of Ernie Davis, the first black person to win the Heisman Trophy. So, in addition to the Hollywood types, we’ve got 40 members of the SU National Championship team that played with Ernie coming to town, as well as Jim Brown, Floyd Little, and Art Monk, among others (I realize most of you don’t know who those people are – except for Jim Brown, I guess). Oh, I know, not a big deal to you more cosmopolitan types, but it’s pretty big stuff in these parts, especially coming the night before Penn State comes into the Dome for the first time in 18 years.
Sadly, Syracuse has become so horrible, it’s likely Penn State will stomp on them. Too bad. It’ll screw up a perfectly good weekend.
