Somewhere on the first Syracusefan.com forum...

[Jake]

Or on the original horrible Syracuse.com forum...sandwiched in between threads about Hart vs Griffin (the very first great online debate about SU hoops) and Y2K paranoia was surely a thread about JB having kids.

And in that thread were many tongue-in-cheek posts about Jimmy and Jack being “future orangemen” circa 2018.

Seemed kinda far fetched and forever in the future...but here we are.

Congrats to Igor, Cheriehoops and the rest who saw it coming years ago...
