Absolutely amazing! I got in the mail on Friday but didn't want to watch until after yesterday's game, it's a must for all SU fans.

"Orange Glory II"!

Actually an entire tape, book or even a movie could be done on this season.
 
Watched it today. It was good for both re-living the good memories and learning about some stuff/games I knew nothing or very little about.
The fans & Dome Ranger interview clips didn't do much for me. Thought there could've been a tad more background set-up to some of the games. EG the Georgia game - the thing that made that game special to me at least as a 15yr old kid was the awful memories of losing every single stinkin OT game in the tournament (at least in recent memory) - Umass, Mizzou, Arkansas, etc. It just seemed like the sort of game we never ever won and helped convince me "hey maybe we're not cursed". Maybe a few more clips of the '06 BET games too. Just a thought, I guess you could say that's nitpicking; I realize they didn't want to make something that was 4hrs.
Thought they did a nice job with the the '87 UNC game; I found myself rooting for Seikaly to throw down a dunk on someone's head, ha. Was glad the OK St game made the cut & McNeil's bacon saving blocks were mentioned.
Obviously a must-have for $20.
Anyone think there were any glaring omissions to the list? I can't really think of any offhand.
 
I thought the DVD was tremendous. The interviews were great. Love to hear Melo, Pearl, Derrick, Sherm, Wallace and Owens, among other.

The only glaring omission that surprised me that there was nothing on Lawrence Moten. who is out all-time leading scorer. To a lesser degree, there was little on Stephen Thompson. But otherwise, just a great video for SU alumni and fans.

I do think there were a couple of omissions but I think we should wait until more of the board has seen the video so not to ruin it for people.
 
Just got it (yesterday). Going to watch it tomorrow night when in basketball withdrawal.
 
Just finished watching it. It is amazing. I hope Noel has a copy on the way. He watches that and he will commit on the spot.:)

Yah Stevie was in a lot of ways the epitome of Syracuse basketball. A montage of Sherm-Thompson alley oops would've been cool.
 
I just watched it. AWESOME!!!!!

Spoiler alert. A couple of moments that didn't make the cut, which i would have prefered over some other choices were - "the hike". "the punch"(Pearl on Ewing), as mentioned above something on Moten.

I was also a little surprised that the 'hike' didn't make it, even if only in the Sherman section.
