Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 2122462, member: 2350"] My favorite thing about SU being in the Tournament was always the fact I'd get to see some parts of the SU games. Living 2500 miles away in a country where hockey, curling, English soccer, fishing, pro wrestling, poker and darts are more popular than college hoops, it was usually my first chance all year to see them. The magic of 1996 will probably never wear off, because for me it came so unexpectedly. That year I was teaching in a school where there was a pretty good athletic program over the years, and a couple of the more rough and tumble kids were goofing off one day about a week later. So after I got on them to get started, they looked at each other, deciding whether to give me the runaround and the one kid shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, he knew about Syracuse ..." and they settled down and got to work. :) [/QUOTE]
