Syracuse? Yuck! I've been anti-Syracuse since Floyd Little played there. Best thing I can say about Syracuse is that Ben Schwartzwalter (of Pt. Pleasant, W.Va., and a WVU grad) was their greatest coach. Well, that and Jim Brown was a helluva lacrosse player.
I suppose my most vivid memory of WVU-Syracuse football was a game I was photographing in October of 1992. I was in the south end zone, right behind the Syracuse offense, when Marvin Graves rolled out and Tommy Orr knocked him out of bounds. Even though the hit was perfectly clean, Graves got upset and threw the ball at Orr, starting what turned out to be a bench-clearing brawl. It was a classless thing for Graves to do (the norm for Syracuse, of course [ ]) and as soon as a scuffle ensued, next thing I knew the entire WVU team was rushing across the field and there was a melee right in front of me. It was quite a brawl, but unfortunately the officials chose to eject three of WVU's key defensive players from the game. The only Syracuse player to get the boot was a backup offensive lineman. Graves, inexplicably, remained in the game and led Syracuse on a game-winning drive against the depleted WVU defense. The next day Traghese issued a statement saying that if anyone should have been kicked out, it was Graves. But it was too late as Syracuse had already won the game 20-17. Of course, that probably provided some incentive for the Mountaineers the following year as they ripped the Orange a new butthole, 43-0, in the Carrier Dome. Ah, those were the days....

| You forgot to mention the phantom pass interference call to keep that game winning drive alive. That game alone will fuel my hatred for Syracuse from here on out. I take it you are also from WV.

A play from 12 years ago "fuels your hatred of SU"? Wow...
I personally have nothing against WVU.
SU Leads series - 30-21

Oddly enough, littlemac, I had meant to ask in my post what the hell ever happened to that knothead. Last I knew he was playing in Canada, but I haven't heard anything of him lately.
pez, yes I grew up in West Virginia and spent 8 years (1986 through the end of basketball season in 1994) photographing and writing about every WVU football and basketball game. Those days were a blast. My last game at Mountaineer Field was the 1993 nationally-televised victory over Miami in the home finale. I've never seen that place so crowded or so rockin'. It was so crowded on the sidelines I had to pretty much stay in one end zone to shoot the game. That was a great season, although the unbeaten regular season record was more a product of everything going right (in contrast to the previous year, when everything went wrong) and having so many fifth-year seniors. But the 1988 team, now that was truly a great team. They could just as easily have beaten Notre Dame for the national title in the Fiesta Bowl or had a legitimate chance to win almost any year. I'll never forget how they took out all those years of frustration on Penn State that year. And Major Harris was simply ahead of his time. He paved the way for the Donovan McNabbs and Michael Vicks. Just like David Thompson was Michael Jordan before Michael Jordan (and, as littlemac pointed out, Marvin Graves was Donovan McNabb before Donovan McNabb), Major Harris was Michael Vick before Michael Vick. Greatest athlete I ever saw play the position. Alas, the NFL was a different place in those days....
Oh, and guys, I'm really okay with Syracuse. Just like to pick at you a bit. [ ]
