Message: [QUOTE="NashvilleOrange, post: 5241087, member: 2750"] Great win yesterday. I mentioned in the other thread but I made the trip from Sacramento in between going to the Friday night overtime Kings game and yesterday night's game against the Jazz. Needless to say, I'm useless today. It only took 80 minutes to make it to the parking garage in Berkeley yesterday. It's still so weird to me that this is the easiest conference road trip I've ever made, even though I live almost 3000 miles from Syracuse now. This was a much more relaxed environment and game than the UNLV roadtrip earlier this year from a pre-game perspective and the game itself. I've been to Cal for two different USC games and definitely felt less animosity from their fans. That said, if we become a winner, that will change I will be perfectly fine with that. We hiked up the hill for the Syracuse hosted pre-game next to the Stadium. My wife is 7 months pregnant but was a good sport and luckily knew what we were getting into based on previous trips. Not as fun as Mark's tailgate for the UNLV game but still had a good time. We were seated with Niners announcer Greg Papa. He said he hasn't been to Syracuse since the Spurs - Knicks game in 1997. He also asked if the Syracuse chant is "let's go cuse" or "let's go S-U" so that paints a picture of how invested in Cuse athletics he was. Ha. Still a nice guy and was happy to be there cheering on the Orange. They had a nice little pep rally with Otto and the cheerleaders and the location next door to the Stadium made it a worthwhile experience. We made it the game in advance of kickoff. Last year's Cal game against USC was delayed by about 30 minutes by protesters on the field. Was happy to have this game start on time with absolutely perfect weather. I wasn't super optimistic heading into the game but was pleasantly surprised by the play of both the offensive and defensive lines. After the 6-0 lead, we really felt in control the rest of the game. It definitely contributed to the "relaxed" feel and really an unfamiliar feeling for a conference road game. At least for me. Post game we made it back in time for tip-off of the Kings Jazz and got to see another victory. In my opinion, combined with the UNLV game, these made for the best road trips since the 2017 trips to LSU and Miami. Of course we won both of these games so gonna be tough to top in the coming years. [/QUOTE]
