I grew up in the area, so I started hearing about SU football in the 1950's. I never saw Jim Brown in person, but I did see him play basketball (Syracuse football players vs. Pitt football players at the War Memorial prior to a Syracuse Nats game). By 1958, I was attending all the home games...

I grew up as a Syracuse Nats fan. You could buy a general admission ticket for the stage for 50 cents and then go find a good seat. I believe the Nats left town in the summer of 1963, and that is the year I transferred into SU as a junior. That is also the year Bing and Boeheim became eligible...

I noticed on several occasions that after a rebound (or steal ?) the ball went to Symir, who quickly headed out for a break. However, after crossing center court, he would slow down and dribble off to the side. Then I realized that he had nobody to pass to because they were all behind him...

There appears to be a flag flying at the top of the dome. Is that a signal that the roof is complete?

OK, I think I just answered my own question. He played before there was a NYS tournament.

Roosevelt Bouie???

Dave Bing and Calvin Murphy (in person). Bill Walton (lived in California during his three varsity years - all UCLA games were televised)

I also registered at Archbold Gym. One of the first impressions I remember was that the crew team had suspended an oar horizontally just inside the door. It was probably a little more than 6 feet above the floor. If you had to duck to pass under it, they were there to try to recruit you. (I...

Post Standard special edition and three weeks of Sports Illustrated editions covering the tournament. Also, a hoodie with "Syracuse Orangemen" on the sleeve, that I frequently wear while watching SU games.

My first thought was Jim Nance. However, try a Google search on Vic Hanson.

I was at the game. The last 30 seconds was the loudest crowd noise I can remember since SU games at Manley (yes, I'm that old). Even though the crowd was fairly small, nobody left. The Dome would have been almost empty with a similar score. In the last 20 seconds, UTSA scored on a layup...

I remember kids all over CNY wanting to take jump shots for free throws (until the coach put an end to it).

Duquesne = Sihugo Green.

Isn't Rochester north of Syracuse? I know SU used to play U of R many years ago, and I thought there was a game there a few years ago against another opponent (St Bonaventure?) Edit: OK, while I was looking at a map, two others mentioned Rochester.

I saw him play with the freshman team, and thought that he was going to be as good as Dave Bing. I think he came to SU in the class one year behind Bing/Boeheim, but sat out what would have been his soph year. The story I heard at the time was that he was taking 18 hours, including several...

Thanks for the info. I am looking at mezzanine seats (about $240-300). I would prefer to be above SU fans and not buried in a sea of blue.

My wife and I are heading to Houston tonight (driving from San Antonio). I will probably pick up tickets from StubHub or the NCAA site. Since there are still a lot of options, I would prefer to be in the general area of other SU fans. Were the tickets sold through the University mainly in one...

CTO will remember. Betsey Johnson as an SU cheerleader. (She's the one pictured just above Joe Biden in the SU promo video)

Jim Brown and Jim Ridlon (both also played lacrosse) Ernie Davis and Gerhard Schwedes ('59 national champs)

1) Wichita State vs Notre Dame - Notre Dame 2) West Virginia vs Kentucky - Kentucky 3) North Carolina vs Wisconsin - North Carolina 4) Xavier vs Arizona - Arizona 5) UCLA vs Gonzaga - Gonzaga 6) Utah vs Duke - Duke 7) NC State vs Louisville - Louisville 8: Michigan State vs...

11 correct. I'm not sure which one I missed.

83% - missed two.

San Antonio Grew up in Skaneateles Graduated from SU

As a youngster, I grew up watching the Nats at the War Memorial ($.50 for a seat on the stage, and then finding a vacant seat along the sides). I thought that Oscar Robertson was the most complete player I had ever seen, and then Dave Bing showed up at SU. I was one year ahead of Bing and JB...

Thanks for the info. I just got mine a few minutes ago. I was a little worried about the size of the gym and the fact that all seats are general admission. Also, kids are free so there might be a lot of local families coming.

I remember when the games were played at the War Memorial. I never went to one, although I frequently bought $.50 tickets to get into Nats games. The first time I actually attended a game was the first appearance of Bing and Boeheim, as varsity members (freshmen were not eligible). I had just...

Just purchased two tickets in section 202, row 8 - directly across from you.

I am an alum and a former season ticket holder (who also attended every home game in 2002-03, plus the BET games). My wife and I currently reside in San Antonio and are interested in attending the Arkansas game. Arkansas is apparently not offering single game tickets yet, and the SU Athletics...

This is a great idea. Note: I grew up in CNY, graduated from SU, and now work for UTSA.
