I found a great article about Isham from the The Daily Orange, which is the student newspaper at Syracuse. The writer definitely did his homework, with quotes from SD, NI, and NI's high school coach.

Great article! I am super excited to see how much he continues to improve. He has already shown me that we have a QB! We haven't had someone of this talent in a VERY long time. He already impresses - just think of this next year and the next 2 years after that. Need more receivers!!!!!!!!!!
Why are they doing an article on Isham?
Because their j-school is top notch.Quote:

Ok, but I still don't understand why somebody in Syracuse would write a piece on Nick Isham. There has to be some kind of correlation.Quote:

I am sensing the same type of man crush developing with some of our fans as the Brady Quinn crush by Mike Golic. Not to say that I am not excited as well. However, I don't want to date the guy.
Robert Redford is probably this writer's god-father, too.:laugh:Quote:

It IS interesting he knew about NI unless he thoroughly reads the national wires.
This is great!! I get people all the time asking me about NI. They know I'm a TECH diehard and they keep hearing about this 17 year old who has got some guts! That's a really nice feeling having a QB other school's fans are interested in.
Actual reporting is so rare these days that a genuine good article is written and people think that the only way it could have been written is if there is an angle.
