My wife, my 14-month old daughter, my parents, siblings and the rest of my family.

My buddies.

A strong stock market.

2003.

Syracuse Football beating BC to become bowl-eligible on one of the most exciting finishes in Dome history (and happy to say I was there with my wife). Our guys smoked the Minny guys in the Rodeo Bowl 6-1 yesterday, so I think it's a sign of things to come on Friday.

Tyler Ennis' nerves of steel and incredible bball IQ.

Football tailgating.


James Arthur Boeheim and the amazing basketball program he has built for us all to enjoy.

Happy Holidays all!
 
My health - I will never take that for granted ever again.

My family

2003 - The pinnacle of my sports world and nothing will ever top it.

That I have a job that I enjoy. I don't make the most money in the world but I genuinely enjoy what I do.

That I have been able to watch a great basketball program my entire life. Thanks JB!

That we might be getting close to back to the days when we were one of the few schools that could enjoy both a winning basketball and football program. Still have some work to do in football to be consistent but I think we are on the right track.
 
The sport baseball.
My dashing mediocre looks.
Cuse sports.
Shirley Temples
Family
My dogs
America
Freedom


Now what really matters:

My girlfriend
Sucre's girlfriend from Prison Break
Katy Perry's...eyes
Zoey

Britany Snow
Mila Kunis


But really family, freedom, health, Cuse and my dogs.
 
This forum (duhhhhh).

33 years of Christmas in Atlanta with HUGE step-family and a swimming pool! This is the last one.

Friends friends friends!

2003. Big East Gerry. Not ten @#*! wins. Big East 6 OTs. James Arthur Boeheim. Juli. The team this year. The team every year. The team next year.

My children always. My hubby most of the time.

My mother. Gone 4 years but in my heart every single day.
 
Ahh

This board for sure.. I've meet some amazing people here. Thanks for letting this drunken Alaskan be apart of your group.

My wife - Puts up with all my shiz.. I'm pretty much a drunken 6 year old, and she handles it like a champ.

New house, moved in last night. Here's hoping the wife is unpacking as we speak.

New job, Start the 7th!

My lil pups, Jameson and Jackson. Lil dudes spend their whole lives making sure their Pa is happy, all they ask for is a few belly rubs.

My family, we dont see them near enough, but I'm thankful we were able to go home this past month, and thankful that they helped make it an amazing trip.

My friends, I'd be lost up here with out em. The group of guys who came and helped me move last night, -5 degrees.. couldnt ask for better friends.

My parents, whom I always miss during the holidays, who lived a good, honest, and clean life and raised 3 good kids. And for raising them as diehard SU fans from the day we were born.

My wife and kids and the extended family as well as the many good friends.

God Bless all and happy holidays to everyone here.
 
God - seeing more and more reasons why you kept me alive and safe through my rowdy days when other options seemed more likely
My Wife - hopefully justifying why you thought I was worth having your hand in Marriage more and more
My 12 y/o step son - hopefully I'm a good enough father figure. I try my best and hope you'll appreicate my advice more when you get older like I did with my dad. PS - you're just like me!
My 21 m/o son - little maaaaan! You've taught me so much, and brought me so much joy. You're also just like me
My Grandma - You'll never know how much you mean to me and how much you've made me a better person
My dad - I'm just like you. All the health concerns terrified me. Take care of yourself so we can hang out for the next 30 + years
My step mom - You were a God send for my dad and our family. Thank you for taking care of him and making him a better person. You guys are perfect for each other and pure comedy to watch
My mom mom - Lots of ups and downs over the years but soooo happy you've been doing well. I want you to succeed at being happy. That's it
My sister - Not much more to say except thank you for being you
My bro in law - Take care of my sister. You're good people. Glad to call you my brother.

Syracuse football - Bowl bound again! Get that last W!!!
Liverpool FC - Top spot in the table. Keep it up Lads!
Syracuse hoops - Undefeated and getting better. Thank you JB and co.

Craft Beers and Whiskey - So tasty.

edit~ this forum - tons of great folks here, most of whom I've yet to meet. Enjoy the stories, knowledge and banter. You help keep me sane at work which is no small task.

Oh I suppose my wife...even though she doesn't like beer and doesn't care that much about sports and makes me watch musicals with her (with the promise that I can drink as much as I want during, to make it through).

My son, who is rounding 2 and will be sliding safely into the age of 3 in a few months, and who will hopefully be running the point for SU in 15 or 16 years.

The fact that my son, who was 5 weeks premature, is seemingly getting my side of the family's height, so even if he doesn't dig basketball he can still be turned into a pitcher since he appears to be a lefty. A 6-3 lefty? Hi there, pro scouts! Why yes, my son would love to sign with the Washington Nats!

Syracuse University in general, and athletics specifically.

I guess the board. You guys are ok, and the long time people have put up with me for about 15 years at this point.

Probably a lot more stuff that I'm not thinking of but meh, I have a beer to drink!

EDIT: oh! My family outside of my wife and son.

Also, the knowledge that soon I won't have to hear a single Christmas song for the next year, thank god. Well, except for Christmas in Hollis, since that is always in my rotation.

And my brother's son is about it turn 1, and will probably wind up 6-8 or so. So after a couple years he will be a stretch 4 out there as well.

I'm 6'3 but my son has been 95+ % on the growth chart since birth so who know's where he'll end up. 6'5 shooting guard on top of the zone next to a 6'3 lefty PG would work though.
