20 Reasons to be Excited for Syracuse Football - #16

As we move closer to the 2011 Syracuse football season, Lots of Pulp will be counting down the top 20 reasons to be excited for the new year.

Nancy Cantor, also known as “Chancy Nancy” or "Turn Left and Cough" (check sidebar pic), once deemed Newhouse III's architecture as a shining beacon of freedom of speech to the world with undulating waves that welcomed the city to nuzzle in symmetrically.

They've probably even sweated in the student section of the Dome and enjoyed some nachos to try and cure their hangover, only to fail miserably.

Looking out for them this year ( I realize they don't all call College games but just enjoy the list – I would love to hear Craig Carton call a Cuse game soon)):
