I dont remember the game. I was 6. What i remember was my Dad getting there early and taking me to Lincoln. He told me that if we ever got separated to just go to Lincoln and he would meet me there.
One year during a Penn state game a bad fight broke out. We were sitting around the 20 yard line, low, right end zone and im not sure how but i ended up being separated from my Dad and made my way to Lincoln sure enough there he was.
Years later im living in Colorado and my Dad calls. Family issue not good. Dad asked me to come home to talk about it. I flew in and met him at Lincoln and we walked the campus as he filled me in on the situation.
Im extremely blessed to have had great parents who did and continue to in my Dads case live his life for his family. Syracuse sports and in particular are a thread that is filled with so many great moments. Most of which have little to do with the game.
Its like a great Thanksgiving dinner with your family. The food doesn't really matter.
So Saturday will be our 59th , we will beat Colgate but the game as always will take a back seat to the main event which is simply being with my Dad, our family and friends.
