Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 206723, member: 289"] The thread Orangeyes started on Jimmy lee got me nostalgic about my early days of rooting for the Orange. It also showed me that some posters memory or/knowledge of that era was in need of a little gentle refreshing. In November of 2003 I wrote and posted a series called "From the Mists of Time" regarding my first decade of rooting for Orange roundball. it was very well received. I thought maybe, since we are riding pretty high now, it might be a good time to re-post the series. From the Mists of Time Reading Bud Poliquin’s book, “Tales from the Syracuse Hardwood”, I was reminded of my own early days of rooting for Syracuse University basketball and decided to write up some of my personal memories from that period. One of the players from that period, Bill Smith, says that he has been “lost in the mists of time”. Not to me, he isn’t. But the last part of what he said makes a pretty good title. I was aided in withdrawing memories from those mists by the SU Media Guide, The SU Basketball Yearbooks, which I collected from 1968-73, (and then, for some inadequate reason not again until 1979), Street and Smiths’ Basketball yearbooks, which I collected from 1970 onward, NCAA basketball guides, which I have from the 50’s, (I collected them myself from the late 70’s: I got the rest off the internet), The Syracuse Post Standard and Herald Journal, which is on microfilm at the Onondaga County Public Library. Poliquin’s book, Zander Hollander’s “The Modern Encyclopedia of Basketball”, “The Classic” by Ken Rappoport, The Final Four by Joe Gergen, Rod McDonald’s “Syracuse Basketball 1900-1975”, and Bob Snyder’s two books, “Orange Handbook” and “Syracuse Basketball: a Century of Memories”. This can be taken as a sort of “prequel” to “Through the Years With Coach B”, which I did a couple of years back and which provoked a favorable response. I will post a chapter a day for the next 11 days. [/QUOTE]
