[QUOTE="TheOrangeBuddha, post: 285782, member: 157"]
Leaving Syracuse and heading back to Houston after a Saturday/Monday SU Hoops doubleheader (pretty sure it was Pitt/G-town in 2003).  I am running late for my flight and am one of the last persons to board.  As I sit down in my aisle seat I notice an old nemesis, referee John Clougherty sitting in the aisle across from me.
 
I am not wearing any Syracuse gear.  Further, I am struggling on whether I should talk to him or not (to me, Clougherty was ten times worse than Jim Burr, Tim Higgins or Ted Valentine).  Before I can say anything, Clougherty looks at me and asks whether "I enjoyed the game last night."  I am a bit puzzled as to how he knows I was even at the game and before I can answer him, he says:  "You were ripping me for most of the 2nd half last night."  My retort: "I only let you have it for the five missed calls you butchered in the 2nd half."  He laughed and said that he mentioned me after the game in the refs changing area and one of the other refs told him that's what happens when you miss two calls in a row against Syracuse.  I laughed and we actually went on to have a pretty decent conversation.
 
Peace
