Message: [QUOTE="CusefanATL, post: 206439, member: 853"] 1. I had a flight on the evening of the syracuse-vermont game. I dont recall the exact time, but the flight was going to be about 20 min after then end of the game. Rather than driving to the airport and missing part of the 2nd half i went to the atlanta airport about 3.5 hours before the flight to watch the opening tip. Of course the duke game was on 1-16 seed and duke led by 19 for pretty sure the entire game (they switch at 20). I followed along on my laptop for the 1st half. finally showed the last 10 min of the game. Even though it was right across from the gate to Syracuse - i was the only legit fan. I was screaming and swearing. the game ended and i was literally the last person on the flight. i was so numb, i may have had tears in my eyes, i dont know... i remember sitting in the last row of the regional jet (maybe a 70 seater) hoping that the plane would crash. 2. I have watched 3 games with my friend Seth. ND in 2003, okla st in 2003, and Sat vs uconn. The nd game, we were sr's in high school going to a party. i made him sit in the same position the entire 2nd half. sat night, i made him stand with 1 hand on the bar the last 5 min's of the game. Seth has a love/hate relationship with syracuse now. 3. syracuse-rutgers back in 01 or 02ish? my brother went to the mens room at 1 point and we went on a fast and furious rally. he was about 10 or 11 at the time. i made him stay in the bathroom for the entire 2nd half. i bribed him by bringing him candy during the tv timeouts. 4. got into the most amazing argument with georgetown fans in madrid at 3am after we won the semi's of the BET in 06. there were 7-10 of them flying that morning as part of a study abroad thing or maybe spring break or something. " you, go home" was said well over 25 times. 5. my wife thinks it is odd that i plan my entire day, week, and month around football games vs maine or basketball games vs colgate. i dont see anything wrong with it. 6. i watched 6 ot's by myself. my wife went to sleep pretty early that night (she was on call). i gave up on the game about midway through the 2nd half. we werent down a lot of points, but we werent playing well and i really just thought we would lose. so i decided to have a beer to wind myself down and go to sleep right after the buzzer. the second i had that beer we turned it on. so, of course, i had to continue drinking the beer. when devo hit the 3 i whipped my shirt off and ran around my living room twisting above my head - running on top of the couch down to the floor, on top of the chair to the floor, back to the couch-floor-chair-floor-couch etc... at that exact moment my wife got a call in from work and came out and looked at me with such disgust "what in the hell around you doing?". thats when i realized the shot wasnt going to count. over the course of the next 6 ot's i polished off more than a 12 pack. I got to the office at 8:15 the next morning in my Syracuse polo and to a T all of my coworkers were shocked and made mention how surprised they were I made it in to office relatively on time.
