Greetings from the Bahamas (or the "Boehamas")...

[cto]

Add another outpost to Orange Nation. Orange might as well be the national color of Atlantis. SU gear is everywhere. We are by far the best-represented school here. You literally could not see or hear any Charlotte fans in the arena yesterday.

Weather, oddly, has not been that great. There is an almost-constant heavy (occasionally gale-force) wind, and the rain last night was a downer. Maui this is not. (Hobbling around with an ankle brace and a cane is not ideal either, but I took off the brace long enough to "swim with the dolphins" and cruise the Rapid River in a tube).

Have run into several syracusefan.com folks, including Obie, Headmaster, Iommi, orangetown, Consigliere, Fairfax Orange and the omnipresent Cuse Troop. Both Iommi and Consigliere made it to page one of the Syracuse Post Standard. Pretty cool having two of the three fan pictures there.

VA Orange and I both wore the "Welcome. To the Boehamas" tee-shirts designed by Jekeish and sold on line. They have been a great hit. We probably could have sold several dozen of them here if we had them. (Everyone wanted to know where we got them).

Your t-shirts made the Post-Standard photo section today.

Agree w CTO that the Orange have the most fans from what we could tell. I don't think Charlotte filled have their sections went to the Texas/Texas A&M & UCONN/ Michigan games and all four schools well represented, especially A&M and UCONN. As a side note saw some truly obnoxious UCONN fans - no surprise there.

It is crazy windy, but better than the cold winds I get on Onondaga Hill so I'll take it and not complain

Joyce, it was fantastic meeting you! Looking forward to the next few days and many more encounters.

This place and the environment are absolutely and the Syracuse fan base is second to none!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

You shirts got some good airtime on TV yesterday. I made sure to point out to the bar and that I "know" you.

Greetings to all you folks representing Cuse in the Boehamas! I wanted so much to be able to attend but one of the repercussions of having a record year with my business is that 70 hour workweeks don't allow me to step away. Next year I'm going no matter where we are! It's outstanding to hear Bilas rant about how well Syracuse always travels and how the crowd is overwhelmingly Syracuse. To all of you at the Tournament, know that we are all looking for you in the crowd shots and we're going nuts cheering on the Orange with you!

And oh, 2 more things,
Let's GO ORANGE!!!!

Beat UConn!!!!

Both of you made TV and you could read what was on your shirt although you would probably have had to know ahead of time what it might be (if that makes sense).

Both Iommi and Consigliere made it to page one of the Syracuse Post Standard.

A**m C****m has now been added to the "Do not Fly" list so getting home should be amusing.

But what I really want to know is how much you paid that girl to stand next to you in that pic.

Nice to see board repped and, hopefully, you guys get some nice weather for remainder of stay...
