I've never met the man, but I hear from multiple sources (alums, faculty, one undergrad) that Gray is a total a**hole....a wannabe jock who likes to stride around like he's Vince Lombardi. He apparently has an authoritarian personality, and gets his jollies by pushing people (esp. students) around. He's in the tradition of Father Farricker (I trust that some of you older alums remember him), who used to put on sneakers, and hide in the bushes with a flashlight trying to catch guys coming back from the bars to Martyrs' Court. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: FC 's message, "He lurks up in the far corner of the top level trying to be invisible. Has anybody ever talked to him? He has to be one of the most obnoxious people I've ever met. I have not met one alum that likes him or thinks he should exert any power over athletics. He is a bigger problem than Frank M. , amazingly. I know that's hard to believe, but it's true. As someone here said, until he is removed from the equation and we have a real AD/VP with power, we will flounder." on Sat March 26, 2005 16:28:08

Hey, BLT, when was this Fr. Farricker on the scene--during Prohibition? Please recall: some of us on this board haven't yet been fitted with dentures or hearing aids. For a slightly more contemporary comparison, think of Dean Wormer who tormented the frat boys in "Animal House." Jeff Gray = Dean Womer. (NT) -- Ram'98, Sat March 26, 2005 21:52:17
- As long as Jeff Gray and Frank McLaughlin are involved with our athletic program, we are in serious trouble. (NT) -- Rambacker, Sat March 26, 2005 21:55:08
- Sorry, make that: "Jeff Gray = Dean WORMER." (NT) -- Ran'98, Sat March 26, 2005 21:57:19
  - Now I can't even spell my own name! That's "RAM'98." I guess old memories of Macho-Man Jeff Gray have my hands trembling as I type. (NT) -- Ram'98, Sat March 26, 2005 22:09:33
- I think the comparison of Gray to Wormer is unfair to the great man that was Dean Wormer. I would compare him more to the principal in Breakfast Club (his name escapes me now). Loved the power trip of riding the young kids and his seemingly big authoritative position. (NT) -- J92, Sun March 27, 2005 00:26:06
  - totally agree -- 718fu, Sun March 27, 2005 21:28:21
