It’s been a big month for Linda Cohn, from visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame for the first time to anchoring her 5,000th SportsCenter. But the graduate of SUNY Oswego finally reached the pinnacle of her career this week when she had a sub named after her at a local sub shop in Oswego, joining the likes of Al Roker and ESPN colleague Steve Levy.
Yes, the campaign to get Cohn her own sub was apparently a thing, as Syracuse.com outlined.
“People living in Oswego, hey invite me back, and the Oswego Sub Shop better name a sub after me,” Cohn joked on ESPN Radio Syracuse. “What’s a girl got to do to get a sub named after her!” Cohn said.
That led to a Twitter campaign (#GetCohnaSub) formed by ESPN radio producer Paul Edsen Jr, which eventually led to the Oswego Sub Shop breaking down and naming a sub after Cohn.
Cohn was understandably happy about getting her own sub, which will be a veggie sub.
Thank you Oswego sub shop! I'll make u proud with this healthy addition! @sunyoswego @OswegoAthletics https://t.co/4QAyDqF6XJ #getcohnasub

Well, once you get a sub named after you, what’s left to do in your career?
