BACKGROUND: Starting in 1891 Syracuse knew a rival greater than Penn State or West Virginia, so great that an entire weekend of festivities and tradition was devoted to the game. This tradition was known as Colgate Weekend. For students in the early 20th century, this weekend meant bonfires, school dances, wild parties, raids on the opposing team’s campus, and a football game that was arguably the most anticipated of the season. It was known that any Syracuse student caught at Colgate trying to light their annual bonfire, or otherwise sabotage their chances of winning was apprehended and their hair was shaved into a “C”.
