I feel so old...

[cto]

... watching this UCLA/Florida game.

I remember when both Billy Donovan and Steve Alford were players... in 1987, no less. We played them in successive games in the 1987 Final Four.

I remember those games all too well. Should I add that I was a freshman in college at the time?

That makes you just a year older than me.

And the Miller brothers. Sean at Pitt with "send it home" Jerome Lane etc - Archie at NC St. Wonder how secure Gottfried is at NC State.

My grandfather told me all about that '87 team.

Syracuse didn't even have a team in '87! 1887, that is.

When I was a freshman, Ernie Davis was our running back. Ooops... wrong sport.

He played basketball, too.

When I was a freshman, Marty Headd lived on my floor.
Danny Schayes lived in my dorm as well (as did some other players), but I never asked him for his autograph.

Do not despair getting older; I welcome every birthday and hope they keep coming. The key factor is that we do indeed remember those games, which were really not that long ago when considering how far back our memories go.

A lot of us are.
Do you remember Roy's Runts? If so you probably have an AARP card.

Actually, you're more likely to NOT remember Roy's Runts if you're old enough to remember.

Syracuse fans do not grow old. We season, we get better like wines and cheeses. I am not as seasoned as some but I do recall the '87 Final Four run, too. I am still young enough to be glad that I can recall that run. Now get off my lawn.

I really feel old seeing signs like that...especially since I was able to by alcohol on 3.27.1993.

What was that I said, Oh well, I forget must not matter.

Doooooms.

My first in person game was before JB even arrived on campus.
