People LOVE the underdog! I had a number of texts from people after the game, people I would never think would pay attention to a college football game. My 81-year-old aunt in Palo Alto texted me, “Did you know your team just beat Clemson?” She was waiting for the Cal game. (Another upset!)

I wore my colors for a couple days after the game and many strangers smiled, waved and we would acknowledge the game. “Go SU!” Wegmans has orange and blue lights up. People need something to be happy about nowadays and this is just the ticket!

My only comparable experience was after the 6OT game. I was flying to Charlotte the next morning (only 4 hours sleep - gah!), wore my colors, and people were yelling “CUUUUUSE!” In both JFK and Charlotte airports. When we entered the hospitality room at the hotel, my new niece-in-law’s family all shouted out, “Here comes Syracuse!” They were genuinely delighted.

Why do we all love winning so much? I may have to google it.
