I’m 61, been watching SU since they made a final four in the 70’s.  I’ve watched,  live or on tv, Ewing, Sleepy Floyd, Reggie Williams,  Walter Berry, Wayman Tisdale, Chris Mullen, and so many more in exciting and meaningful contests.
I remember articles and opinion pieces in the Post Standard debating whether JB should be fired after each season in the early eighties.  I recall the awful feeling of the final shot by Keith Smart in 87, and my reaction afterwards.  And the crushing defeat to Illinois  in ‘89 in the elite eight when we had a loaded team.
I remember reading a Sports Illustrated article in in the mid eighties that said the final four should be renamed the final three plus Syracuse after we landed Stevie Thompson, Derrick Coleman and a few others.  I remember the incredible buzz around the program when SU landed the incredible playground and high school phenom named Pearl. And landing a kid named Sherman , that wanted to go to Georgetown, but they didn’t recruit him (thank God).  
I also remember the first season of the Bg East, culminating in an SU victory over Villanova in the championship game.

And many, many , many more great memories, all thanks to Jim Boeheim.  I am glad we are moving on but also very thankful for a million great memories.
