My dad was a huge SU fan and told me the stories of Jim Brown always getting up slowly after each run like he was hurt only to do what he always did and then get up slowly once again.  And...

"Ernie Davis could run backwards as fast as forwards.".

So in 1970 I was already a fan but also liked Michigan St., Michigan and sorry to say PSU.  Grew out of that pretty quickly.

Then Roys Runts made the Final 4 and basketball started to be my #1 as I also that year got a huge basketball poster before the 74/75 season from Joe and Shirly Szombothy who were customers of my dad.  That said, it bugged Joe I was more of a basketball fan.  He'd smile now because football is by far ahead of hoop.

I can't really say when the football bug really hit me to be honest but my first game was at the Dome for being an employee of the week or the like and actually went to the Maryland game by myself as there was no one else from work there.  SU got crushed.

Regret never going to Archibald.  Nice to read the stories of it though, thanks to all of you for that.
