Awesome quick stroll down memory lane. Thx SWC!!

When you take the time to look back at the individuals that together with JB created all of those fantastic years of hoops memories you realize how GREAT we’ve had it, whether we got the particular end result we wanted (at the end of a particular game, tournament or season) or not.

The Lee brothers vs. the Boeheims: who wins?

 

[NineOneSeven]

Had some serious players from 08-14.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Those Rudy Hackett uniforms would be a sweet alternate jersey.

Not a good idea. We've worn the blue and always lost. I think JB has said no more blue uniforms.

Great job with this photo gallery! Dale Shackleford was the first of many favorite Syracuse players I’ve had over the years

We have only worn blue 2 times in JB era,
At Kentucky 1988 and at Notre Dame 2007 both times we were underdogs.
That Rudy Hackett jersey I believe is the 1975 Final Four SWC can correct me.

I bet if we wore blue jerseys in a game we were favored all the time we would win.
The women’s basketball team has an excellent blue iersey and they win in them.

Two and a half times?

And we were favored by 13.5

Blue jerseys.
Blue pants don’t count.

True. I bet if we wore them to play Colgate we could win in them…….. wait, maybe nothing is a given these days. I say the Women’s team may look good in blue, the men’s team does not.

I hope your post gets zero likes. That photo should be banned.

Sweet D's pregame shows were the best. "It's all right".

Maybe we should wear blue unis when we play the tomato cans. If we win, we might exorcise the demons. If we lose, we just blame the uniform curse.

Another streak ended this year; SU beat at least one ranked team every year for 40 consecutive years. This year 0-5.

Thanks SWC! This is almost a walk through my life. I was to young to remember anything before Louis and Bouie. But with each set of photos, I could recall what age and stage of life I was in at the time. Whether it was running home after school to watch an early NCAAT game or sitting in my parents kitchen listening to the radio feed as SU battled back from down 20 at the half vs Ewing and Gtown in the Dome, only to lose by one. Maybe it was holding my 2 week old while she slept as SU beat Auburn in 2003 or watching SU beat Cal in 2013 in my Dad's hotel room the night before my uncle's (who was a huge SU fan) funeral. This montage took me back through it all.
It's kind of amazing how much of my life is tied to an SU sports memory.
Thanks for this.
