This afternoon, we shed a tear for a true hero of Orange Nation.
Averin Collier, best known as “Uniform Deep Throat,” has been ruled academically ineligible for 2010.
Football-wise, this is not good. Collier was listed 2nd on the preseason depth chart at running back behind Antwon Bailey. Luckily, Delone Carter has been reinstated, so the team’s presumed strength avoided becoming nearly wiped out.
Informationally, also not good. The last time we saw Mr. Collier he was beaming that endearingly impish grin while posing with the new Syracuse football jerseys. He posted the photo on Twitter, knowing full well he had scooped the university’s official release announcement. One has to imagine the “hand-in-the-uniform-jar” look has been replaced with a frowning emoticon 🙁
