Message: [QUOTE="MSOrange, post: 3047720, member: 630"] So I haven't lived in the Syracuse area since we moved when I was 11 in 1987. It became a yearly tradition for one of our good friends back in Syracuse to send me envelopes full of Syracuse basketball and football newspaper coverage. Even after she knew I could read the stuff on the internet, she still sent it as a way to keep us connected and continue the tradition. I'm moving to a different apartment this week which provided an opportunity to go through all I've accumulated. [LIST] [*]Every Syracuse PS basketball preview section from 2000-2012 and then 2018. Not sure why there was a gap from 2013-2017. It was funny looking at the 2000 edition talking about JB entering his 25th season and thinking what year he is now. [*]Syracuse PS football preview sections for 2000, 2001, 2002. 2007 and 2012. I also had 2005 but the front page was a big photo trumpeting the hire of our new coach and I threw that in the recycle pile in a minor fit of rage. [*]I even found the two tickets that my dad and I never got to use when Syracuse played Iowa in football in Iowa City in 2007 because I ended up in the hospital a week before the game. [*]Tons of coverage of the 2003 National Championship run starting with articles when Melo committed through coverage of each NCAA game, a Final 4 section, the papers from the day after we won the NCAA (both Syracuse and Kansas City), coverage of the parade and then Melo deciding to go pro. [*]Articles from each game of the GMac BE tourney run in 2006. [*]PS coverage of the 6 overtime game [*]Coverage of the 2009-10 season game vs Nova when we set what was then a record crowd and won 95-77. I particularly loved that team. [*]PS coverage of win number 700, 800 and 1000 for JB. [/LIST] There was a bunch of miscellaneous articles I disposed of- mostly negative stuff that I don't expect to reflect back on fondly anytime soon - the Fab Melo suspension saga, the probation and a few big game losses. I like happy memories. I'm pretty sure I have a lot of stuff from 90s and even the 1987 Final Four run in a closet at my parents house. If I ever get the room, I might use some of this stuff in my Syracuse man cave. [/QUOTE]
