and Tom Stundis and Chuck Wichman.  
I will look forward to your installments. Your timeframe view  is roughly similar to mine. I too got hooked on the Browns for the same reasons you did, the SU connection. My first year following sports was 1962 and I got drawn in by the baseball cards on the back of Post Cereal box. However my first recollection of college hoops at all were the Alcindor-Hayes matchups and Rick Mounts roll thru the 69 NCAA's. About that time Bill Smith was killing people and he brought my attention to SU. When he left it was Kohls, then DuVal, Hackett, Byrnes, Bouie, Louie, the original "Shack" and on and on.  I had a whole decade of pre-glitter SU. The night it all seemed to change was an exhibition game in '79 vs the Russians. We had a player, Red Bruin, who did things we only saw guys for UCLA and NC  do. Its like we made it on Broadway and were never going to leave.
 So sad, it only seems like 30 days ago, not 30+years.
