1997 team DIShonored @ halftime

[bullman3]

How about special video clips and highlights of that first game or even first season?  I thought the same thing as I watched the presentation (or lack there of).  Talk about poorly managed, I guess it is due to the large turnover in the AD office over the past 3 or 4 years, and having inexperienced people at the helm. 

OU had an awesome halftime presentation for Leroy Selmon when USF played at OU in 2002.  Then they awarded him with a beautiful framed plaque and jersey. 

How do we honor our founding players, by lining them up at halftime and giving them 2 minutes.  No plaques, no jerseys, nothing, not even their names read.  I would have loved to have known who was there, and even what they are now doing.

Very true.

Good points.

The AD office wouldn't handle this. This type of ceremony would be handled by Larry Antonucci, the Director of Football Operations. He usually does a really good job, so don't know why it wasn't the case this time.

I agree that the names of the players should've been announced. Plus, they should've received something (i.e., plaque, jersey).

They absolutely should have announced them.  That was very tacky, bringing them out on the field and only a group announcement , I might expect that from a HS team, but not a Big East team

something like they did for the Steelers tonight on MNF would have been great -- but I'm thinking time constraints held them back'

here are the pics I took of the group....

I thought the radio broadcast did a good job interviewing Rafael Williams... (those that listen to the broadcast know that this is the spot I would insert a winking/smiling smiley if I did not so detest them)

we may not have a lot of tradition but it feels good seeing those guys out there, which one was rafael williams, i admit i wasn't much of a fan when i got there in 98' and didn't follow them until their first season in cusa.

On the wonderful post full of photos, the 8th picture down... Rafael has a black shirt/khaki pants and is clapping
