Message: [QUOTE="goofnoff, post: 4416264, member: 6909"] A few weeks ago my 99-year-old mother passed away 2 months short of her 100th birthday. She died on the same day and hour as the Queen which would please her because she was a lifelong Anglophile. She was in her 60's before she paid any attention to sports at all but her Grandsons got her hooked on Syracuse and there after she became a SU fanatic. Over the past couple of decades, she actually became to nervous to watch the games. So, we would have to give her a play-by-play from another room. My son and I were watching the Purdue game, he in N. Syracuse and me in Baltimore, while talking on the phone. I heard Mom call out to my son, "How are they doing now". It was the last words I ever heard her say. On Saturday, I know I'll hear those words, if only in my mind. I want to say, what my son said that Saturday, "We're going to win Grandma." [/QUOTE]
