Brian was a candidate for the US Congress from Pennsylvania in 2010 and he ran for Mayor in his home town in 2015. Kelly loves Syracuse and he became a big fan in the 1980’s when he was with IBM and he ran many bus trips from Scranton to Syracuse to watch Pennsylvania Teams such as Penn State and Pittsburgh, play the Orangemen. When PSU stopped playing the Orange, the annual PSU game, which once alternated between PSU and Pitt continued to be billed for Scranton IBMers as the Annual Penn State Game. However, the game itself would feature Army or another appropriate team against the Orangemen of Syracuse. Sometimes our bus parked right alongside the Army busses and our kids loved watching the cadets. This is Brian’s seventh ＂Great Moments＂ book about major College Football Teams and writing about Syracuse has been a special treat.
