Message: [QUOTE="sabach, post: 1741875, member: 866"] My first SU "hero". When I was a junior in high school, my grandmother was dying and she gave each of her grandchildren $100.00 to buy something they wanted and to show her so she could see the happiness in our faces as part of her goodbye. I went to Manny's and bought a Syracuse script Pearl jersey. The night before my grandmother died was the night we beat North Carolina to get to the 1987 Final Four. I was in the hospital that night wearing that jersey and my orange sweatpants. One of the nurses thought I was on the team and congratulated me on the win. She said, "you guys had a great win today". I responded by saying "yes we did". That jersey holds a special place in my heart as does Pearl. [/QUOTE]
