Do you remember when Syracuse won the national championship?

Best night of my life happened when I was in 7th grade!

Wha'ppen

 

[Delmar]

I had the flu with a fever of 103. Watched the first half. I had to lie down at halftime and fell asleep. Woke up to watch the last 4 minutes.

Took my three kids out of school. I’d gone in 87, and Atlanta and Houston. Had to fly to Jackson Miss and drive it. After i so wanted to head to Bourbon st but I had three kids 13 and under in tow. Our family talks about the magic of 4/7/03 all the time.

What a year. Both SU and my beloved Red Sox won it all. No sporting event or year will ever beat this for me

 

[Nicknack]

I actually remember it better than the day my son was born. Don't get me wrong, I love my son dearly but that win over Kansas was so freaking memorable. I hope my wife never reads this board.

I was in 6th grade. At halftime of the OSU game, I decided to go out and shoot hoops in the driveway. Couldn’t watch.

Ended up doing the, ‘if I make a 3, a FT, a layup, a lefty layup, etc., in a row, Syracuse will come back’ thing. I was never much of a basketball player, but I’d complete whatever the challenge was and decide it wasn’t enough and do another challenge. It was never ending. Eventually, my dad called me back into the house and said I’m going to want to watch the end of the game. Glad he did.

It wasn’t crazy cold outside but I remember my hands being cold from my missed shots rolling into what was left of the snow (country kid in tug hill; snow took a while to melt).

 

[Brooky03]

my beloved Red Sox

Well, noboy’s perfect

 

[Scooch]

Ummm, the Sox won in 2004.

The 2003 season for the Sox did not end well, to put it mildly.

 

[rocfan44]

Up on the hill, and watched at 44’s. What a night that was!!!

 

[stlorange]

Vividly!
I was so nervous I could only watch ncaa games alone with my11 year old son. Well, my good friends, knowing what a cuse fan I was, reserved a section in a local sports bar (Ozzie's in St. Louis where I watched many a cuse game) for about 10 of us. Unbeknownst to us, the local Kansas alumni group took over the entire bar exempt for my small group. I was so nervous I was pacing like an expectant father and actually couldn't watch the last 3-point attempt after Hakim's block. When I heard groan of the bar I finally looked up and lo and behold, we'd reached the promised land. PS I graduated from cuse in 75 and never thought we'd get there. I was higher than a kite for months/years thereafer...

 

[Cuse_NYC]

High school for me. Jumped up and accidentally put a hole in my parents’ basement ceiling

 

[hungrychuck]

I was in DC for some horrible business conference, en route to London for more business and to run the marathon there.

Wound up in some random bar and what I really remember is being on the floor doing the turtle after the buzzer while a bunch of people who were not Orange fams stared at me in horror.

 

[althea]

I was living in Pittsford, NY at the time. At approx 6:00 pm I turned on TV to get the party started and my TV picked a bad time to crap out on me. Had to drive to best buy in a snow storm to buy a new TV before tip off. Glorious times!

 

[Forza Azzurri]

At the game. The block happened right in front of us.

Back to the hotel to wait for the bus. Still have great pix.

Chanting “Big 12 champs” at KU hotel and fans across the way.

Bourbon St with Jarhead, NYCFan and his brother.

The best.

I made the WTVH5 11pm news.

Police blotter?

 

[PAcuse]

Was at a bar (which has had four name changes since haha) with my roomates at the time, they where just has hyped as I was as they knew how deep my love for the Orange is.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Police blotter?

Nah, just celebrating behind the reporter at a downtown bar. I don’t know. I never saw it, but a few people in one of my classes did.

I loved the way 2003 ended for the Sox but that’s just me.

 

[61 Silver]

I watch a replay of the 2003 Oklahoma vs Syracuse game this afternoon, maybe Red should watch a few of these games. What a difference from how SU plays now!
