[Eric15]

Mine is my old AIM screen name from high school haha. Basically just a combo of the beginning of my last name with "eezy" and my baseball number. In other words, I have the username of a 13 year old kid from 1997.

To celebrate your 1997 AIM reference, here is the gut-wrenchingly horrible sound of a dial-up modem. So nostalgic...

orange - pretty obvious but also an alumni
zoo - contrary to being inspired by (manley zoo) , its actually the initials for a very close friend killed in Iraq my freshman year at SU

 

[jimsonjunction]

Just something weird I used to say with my college roomie. When I signed up for this forum I really had no intention of sticking around so I just used something dumb. I ended up sticking around and keeping the name.

Handle I've used online playing poker/etc. Meatball because I'm Italian and it was a nickname. 56... the greatest defensive player to ever play football. Period.

[iommi]

Our paths cross - I spent three of my four years at the Cuse living in Lawrinson (the other year was at Watson, which was then a frosh only dorm). Obviously, I really liked Lawrinson as I did not even leave it to live at the frat house !!

I lived in Sadler freshman year, then Lawrinson, then in a house on Ackerman and then an apartment on Osprey (think that was the name of the street).

Wait, so your name isn't Jake? I always thought of you as sort of a mysterious character, kind of like how Bob Sheppard was like listening to the voice of God at Yankee Stadium. Now, you're even more mysterious to me.

 

[Bortukal]

Bortukal (برتقال) means "orange" in Arabic, a language I continue to fail miserably at learning.

 

[realorange]

Strangely enough, my name was about Syracuse BB but before the old chat boards.
I was an original member of a gaming site about 25 years ago. I had the name "orange". The site was sold and in the process, I lost my name. In order to let people who knew me on the old site know that I was really "orange" I became "realorange".
