Great game, great crowd, great win.
And my daughter was born.

My daughter was born the evening of Troy Nunes first start on the road against Toledo in 1999. A 35-12 victory.

I loved that team so much, and that Nova game was a classic. They could have and should have won it all, if not for the AO injury. I was in New Orleans for work that week, and watched the game and College Game Day from there. It was awesome. I can’t believe it’s been 15 years. Time passes way too fast.
Btw, here’s a link to the first and second halves of the game that I found on one of the SyracuseFan threads. Thanks Pat from
Syracuse! Enjoy!

And here are the highlights. See above post for the full game.

So much fun. Great pregame in the actual lobby of the Sheraton. The Dome was electric and we ran them out of the building…oh how I miss those days

I was there. Waited in the student line for hours. I also remembered like 5 plays from the game.

Interesting that your daughter was born in the Dome during a game. I would have thought the beer on the ground would have made it unsanitary. Also, must have been awkward for the crowd…….

I guess final attendance ended up being 34,617

Congrats. I got the towel as a momento of being there. Back when commemorative towels and t-shirts were a thing.

They played this song that night over the PA in the Dome and it was spot-on appropriate and the perfect song to describe that glorious night.

Just makes me sad...

That night was a coronation and the season should have ended with the chip. It was probably my favorite season of all-time other than Melo of course.

If you were a student during this time, this game is probably the equivalent to the Pitt game in 2003 for me.

For this one, I had to work a different game that started is 7 in NYC. Got done by 9, raced to East End where I entered to an absolutely jam-packed bar and a double-digit 'Cuse lead.

 

[hoopsupstate]

To watch how fast that team went from defense to offense is unreal. I don’t see any teams today push the ball like that team.

I have a framed panoramic picture of this game over my desk in my home office. I look at it every day.

What made that game extra exciting is that we were ranked #4 going in, but #1 Kansas, #2 Kentucky and #3 Purdue incredibly all lost earlier in the day. So we knew if we won, we would probably be #1 for the first time in 20 years.
