Syracuse football fan thanks Ohio State’s Ryan Day for the gift of Kyle McCord

To the editor: As a proud Syracuse graduate and die-hard sports fan, I want to thank Ryan Day for buckling under the pressure of being the OSU football coach and losing to Michigan. As one of the worst teams in the ACC, the Syracuse Orange just landed the equivalent of Joe Namath. Quarterback Kyle McCord will be revered in upstate New York. Fans will root for a young man who plays hard, completes passes and carries himself with dignity and respect. Your loss, coach Day, is our gift in 2024. Happy New Year!

To Barb: Syracuse got a bargain in landing a veteran quarterback who is 12-1 as a starter. And while the Orange struggled this year, they have a favorable schedule next season that might allow McCord to put up some good numbers. They don’t play Florida State or Clemson and face Miami at home.

Quarterback Kyle McCord will face a favorable schedule in his season at Syracuse.

Dear Editor: College players want to play their sport and show their stuff. I believe that is the main reason for all the athletes entering the transfer portal. With the number in the transfer portal getting bigger every year, why not just decrease the number of scholarships that schools can give out? Say, from the current 85 to 70. That way, more players get a chance to get on the field. There are so many players (who never play) on the sidelines for college football games it looks like the lines for a Black Friday Sales event at Walmart.
