Chris Fox To Syracuse

You are talking about places you have to drive to. My friend lived right off campus, I am talking across the street. Her apartment was broken into twice and her car window broken twice. She had to leave her car unlocked and take everything out each night. If she left it unlocked, it would be looked through and when nothing was found it would be left alone. If it was locked, they'd break the window just to check. Its a f***ing shithole. As I said, there are nice areas not far where you can drive and run, but the area around the campus (much more so north than south) is ghetto.

"the team does runs in and around fayetteville, manlius, trail run on the local indiana reservations and trails in and around a local limestone quarry." you don't need to drive to any of these places from campus. also, you can run from campus without hardly ever running "in the ghetto." if you don't run there, you're input can't be that reliable.

Chris Fox just named head coach at Syracuse...Congrats to Fox! Fox was selected over the USC assistant coach.

about freakin time

where is the announcement? I havent seen anything? I know someone at SU and I asked them and they said nothing official has been said about anyone let alone Fox.

if this is true and i sure hope it is ... it's a good smart move , proven coach, and was a high quality runner during his competitive days. the team that he inherits is good and climbing the ranks of respectability, he has talent to work with.

If he is now leading this team will he try to soothe the hard feeling from the shafting that Robert's gave the team ..ie only bringing in sprinters and jumpers, and pulling the $$$ from 3 of the top 5 distance runners from last year(not due to poor performance but he used it on the incoming sprinters and jumpers)? The nearly four months that it took Gross to make a move that in the meantime left all the runners wondering and worrying.

If coach fox is now the man i wish him the best and i have faith he will continue to elevate the program to the upper level of the big east and the north east region

Roberts never brought in any jumpers only sprinters, he was after all a sprint coach

I heard he took the money from them so he could buy some cartons of PallMalls on sale. Hopefully Fox can keep his habit down to a pack a day so his athletes can afford school. If he is the coach???? I still think USC will show up in here some how.

Where's the anouncement?

whats the background info on this guy?

I wonder what happens at Auburn now. They were building something good while Fox was there. Now what?

Back to the drawing board for Auburn. Are not the guys side suppose to be very good this year? Bad break for the seniors. If this is all true, it's a great move for Fox and Orange.

In the city of Syracuse and the campus area, what is the area like for running?

Its all ghetto around the campus. Some nice areas that you can drive to but around the campus is a shit hole.

fox is meeting with the mens team at 8 a.m. today and the womens at 9 a.m...my guess is he is breaking the news

really? today..like an hour ago.

interesting if he is meeting with the team now, seeing that only about a quarter if the teams are in town. most aren't coming in till Monday or Tuesday.. but i suppose he would meet with those that are already here and have them get the word out to the rest of team. No offical word on the website yet.. but then again look how long it took to make the decision it may not be posted till after semester break. I hope this mess is FINALLY OVER

Meeting with Auburn's or SU's team today, I bet you mean Auburn. Right?

So he is coming, Does he have any idea of who will be his assistants? Will he take anyone from Auburn?
