Started watching SU football intermittently the year the Dome opened, when I was 13.  Was at the first game.  Little Joe!  Got into it a little more each year.  High point was the year we opened with (eventual national champs) Tennessee and (previous year's champs) Michigan.  I had gone back to the Cuse for a hiking vacation and was driving through Vermont the day after the Michigan game on a big high.  Listening to sports radio on the AM dial and Bo Schembechler came on to talk about the state of Michigan football, and he sang our praises - as much as he was capable.  I thought, that's it, we've arrived.  Low point was either getting blown out by a MAC team at home under GRob, or the Temple loss under P when we could have won the Big East just by beating freaking Temple.  In one case, I thought that's it, we are done.  In the other, I thought this is never going to get any better, we will find a way to stop ourselves from reaching the true pinnacle every year.  Different flavors of hopelessness.

I started watching hoops a year or two before football and attended many great games.  Pearl's halfcourt shot.  Thompson getting ejected.  I don't really follow hoops any more.  Lost interest in the sport for several reasons.
