At the social hour after church this morning, dozens of people came up to me... wanting to talk about the SU team and its two last-second wins this week. I admit I'm known down here as the "crazy Syracuse fan", but I found it interesting that so many folks in the middle of Husky Nation seem to be fascinated with our team and the way it wins games.
I got the same spontaneous reaction in a bunch of emails and texts last night from friends who have no Syracuse affiliation and no history of rooting for SU.
If we were clobbering teams, I don't think these folks would feel the same way. Contrary to posters in some threads here, I think our last-second heroics are winning us fans (or, at a minimum, a lot of interest and fascination) because they perceive us as a maligned under-dog who is somehow getting the job done.
