I am so glad that I was able to see this game in person!
Blarney being packed wall to wall with Cuse fans was amazing.Me too! Really miss that annual trip to NYC with buds for over two straight decades. The Blarney, Mcsorely's Ale House, hitting Wolfgang's Steakhouse on Park Ave., etc. It was a great tradition.
After each OT, I woke my wife up to update her on the game. Not sure she was happy after I woke her up for 6th time, but at least we won.I was talking with my future wife on a landline phone as we both watched the game on TV.
This game helped her become a Syracuse fan and helped convince me that she was the one!
I think I've told this story before but I had my own intramural basketball game starting towards the end of the second half, was recording the game on VHS (because so was a boss like that), and had to wait for the game to be over multiple OTs to watch it after I got back from my own game.Pacing in my bedroom as I told myself I’d study for my mythology test after the game. Well with how late the game went I didn’t study and got a 55 lol
