My elementary school

That's really cool. I still remember when Sonny Spera and Andre Hawkins came to my elementary school for a similar event.

I think I have PTSD. I read the title and my first thoughts flashed back to my daughter's SU day misfire.

Takes me back to Damien Rhodes showing up at my middle school. Some other guys - linemen, I think - were there, too. It was funny because they were introduced to normal applause and then when Rhodes was introduced the applause and cheers were drastically louder. The linemen, who could have gone pro for all I know, took it in stride, as linemen do.

That was my elementary!

Go Spartans!

I remember standing next to Floyd Little when he came to my high school.

That is so cool that three guys came to Fremont Elementary.

Before we moved to Michigan, Derrick Coleman was supposed to come to my sons’ elementary school for a reading event.

He never showed up.

Amen! Mine was Park Hill but the rest applies!

I think it was LeRon Ellis who came to Minoa elementary school when I was there. I had a picture of the team signed by at least some of the players. Fat tire 13 probably remembers better than I fo

Honestly, I have vague recollections of Hal Cohen and Marty Headd making a similar visit to Fremont Elementary when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade there. We deffo had a cuse players visit...

I love it when players get immersed in the community. When the SU recruit put off making his announcement until he could do from a grammar school it is touching.

I had to look it up to confirm but I remember Bill Drew (and someone else I think) showing up at Nate Perry in Liverpool when I was in 4th grade.

I cant believe I remember that but cant remember what I went into the kitchen for.

I got Sherman Douglas’s autograph when I was 6.

Unfortunately, don’t have a Danny Schayes autograph though.

That makes me feel older than I already do. I worked with Damien's mom when he was about in middle school. I had him running around selling March Madness board squares. He came from a fantastic family.

I sat next to Danny Schayes and his family a few years ago at a game... I asked him why he was in the cheap seats with us. He said he bought the tix online and didn't want to bother the athletic department or JB for comps.

Here's the scary part... I was the ONLY fan in our section that even talked to him - I don't think anyone else recognized him (or if they did, they were mum or didn't care.)

Jim Nance, Genesee Hills - I got his autograph and thought, what I'm I going to do with this autograph; never asked for another one.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

We had the Rutgers field hockey team at my school yesterday.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Had some FB players come out to my son’s class to talk school, time mgt, and go outside and throw a FB around. Kids loved it.

 

[Chip]

I pictured you being older.

It's a billy Madison situation

That's great. But do you have Dolph's autograph? Only few superfans can claim that.

No, but I have one of his halftime cigarette butts in a hermetically sealed jar.

ESM huh? That explains a lot...

The number of people on the board from East Syracuse is unusually high.

Was it something in the water?
