It has been snowing -- hard -- in midtown Manhattan for at least an hour. And it's cold and windy, too. Sounds like perfect Syracuse weather to me.
Totally unrelated to the snow, the sidewalks are full of drunken high school kids from New Jersey -- which is actually an annual St Patrick's Day ritual in the City.
Last year, at the Big East seme-finals, I sat directly in front of President Clinton, and the following week I sat next to Joe Biden at the games in Pittsburgh. Last night, I sat directly behind Governor Christie of New Jersey and then had a post-game drink with gubernatorial candidate McAuliffe of Virginia. I wonder which politico it will be tonight
And now for something basketball-related. I am sure 100 people have posted this already... but, wow, what game Baye had last night. Those who have been in chat rooms with me, know how much I love that kid. Post-game, he and a few other players walked through the Delta Club on their way to the bus. I have never seen anyone as happy as Baye was as he hugged everyone in sight. I wish I had a usb cable here ... to post a picture of me with him postgame. I have not read most of the board .. nor have I seen much of the media coverage ... so I don't know whether the following tidbit has been reported or not. But anyhow, after Baye's seven-for-seven from the line last night, JB said to him that from now on he was going shoot technicals for the team. Baye was not sure that he was kidding.
PS .. After the game, when the team bus returned to the hotel, there were a lot of kids there waiting for autographs and pictures with the players. Baye was the only player that stopped for every kid that wanted a picture or autograph from him.
