My first SU football game was the last game at Archbold. I was hooked and have been a diehard ever since. That being said, I have no idea who Bill Orange is nor the significance of Piety Hill. I also have no recollection of a TD Cannon/Bell other than when some octogenarian cheerleader has a bell wheeled out at Homecoming. I just assumed it was something that used to be around like Packards and Five and Dime stores. Down, Down the Field is the only fight song I can ever remember being associated with Syracuse. I prefer Orangemen, but I've gotten used to Orange and wouldn't care either way. It sounds like orange pants are coming this year. If not, then that's something I can get behind that I'd like to see back. The orange helmets they wore this year were fine with me, other than the fact that sometimes they come across as cherry red. I actually liked the orange and blue together, only it needed to have orange as the predominant color. Regarding restoring 44, thanks to Mr. Washington and a few other recruits, I have changed my mind regarding its reinstatement. I am now in the camp of using it as a recruiting tool since many of these kids seem to like The Express. Might as well jump on that while the movie is still relevant.

While tradition may be important to some, it's not to all. Depending on the person and their age, different traditions may be valued. Keep in mind, some people may view jingling keys or the wave as traditions that they might want to keep.

What is a Syracuse fan's favorite color?
