She was a HUGE Mets fan, along with loving SU hoops.Very sad to hear.
Going through her posts I saw her complaining about the Mets still keeping Reyes on the team...in April. Seems like she knew her stuff!
This is very sad news. Andrea was a passionate participant on syracusefan.com since its beginning. In the early days, she was a very enthusiastic member of chat rooms for basketball games. When I saw her in Maui, it was clear she had mobility issues, but she was a real trouper in going to all the events and games. She truly loved SU. RIP, Andrea.

You are probably right about Blarney Stone. Crusty and I met up with her there. True Orange. Travelled to SU for games, blizzards be damnedWow. I’ve “known” her since she joined our community many many years ago and met her a few times in NYC during big east tourney days. Think she even came to the Blarney one year to meet a bunch of us.
She was a funny and unique lady. RIP Andrea and condolences to her family and friends.
You won a contest, entry was a donation. She made just 1 and couldn't believe she won.I believe this was one of Andreas favorite photos. She always talked about it and posted it a couple times. She used another photo of her with President Obama at a lunch as her avatar.

Lovely, I agreeI didn’t know Andrea very well but we chatted from time to time. I knew she had health issues but she was discreet with me and tried to be upbeat. She loved the Orange. And I believe she would love these tributes and hope that wherever she is in this great universe, she can know our thoughts.
As Joyce says, she went way back through the history of various boards that our nutty little community has occupied--originally as AndreaCG, I think--and she always had a special place in her heart for the hoops team, with a passion and charming willingness to stick by her opinions even in the face of pretty vocal disagreement. In message board terms, I think one of the kindest things I can say is that she had a knack for adding to the conversation, and our group's enjoyment of the forum.This is very sad news.

PS: A little-known Andrea story. In the early 2000s, the board had its first golf outing ... in support of BocaDougs GOALS Foundation. Andrea wanted to play. She sent me a message saying she had once played miniature golf ... and she wondered whether that was enough experience. I gently told her that it probably was not sufficient.
