Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan0307, post: 4598014, member: 1743"] I'm only 38, but have been brought up to be an SU fan since birth as my 81 year old father has been a fan since the late 1940's which included following Boeheim and Bing at the NIT in the old garden in NYC. I have had season tickets since I was a student in 03 and Boeheim is obviously all I know. My first recollection of being a die hard Syracuse fan was losing to Minnesota in the tournament in 1990 when a lesser know guard named Anthony Scott basically shot us out of the game. My fandom really took off during the Moten and Wallace years and there was no doubt after that I would attend Syracuse University. In a weird way Jim Boeheim is probably the reason I am still in the area. I fell in love with Syracuse University and the City because of his program and ultimately I stayed here after graduation. In many ways he reminds me of my grumpy 81 year old dad who is also a lifelong upstater. [/QUOTE]
