Personally, I don’t mind sappy at all...rather, I encourage it. When I got there, I just looked around and savored the moment. Many folks take the tailgate and opportunity to be in the dome for granted. There are many of us for whom that opportunity is much more rare.
In my own version of sappy, the Fine tailgate, Syracusefan, and being at the dome mean a lot to me. Dan Johnson drew me in with his welcoming soul so long ago, after I found his news posting while searching for any tidbit I could find on Syracuse football. I wandered up from Virginia one Saturday and he was the first person to say hi.
Life is busy and I may not get there every game or even every year, but I love the camaraderie, the intensity, and revelry. I encourage all of you to celebrate the moment, to get past the times when success looks doubtful, and to share the love of SU sports fanaticism when & while you can.
Generations of SU fans have come before us and you folks are following in that Fine tradition. I appreciate the inclusion and look forward to those times I can join in. See you next week...LGO!!
