Want to thank Llandz for setting up a memorable evening - my son's 1st live Syracuse game (he just turned 6).  After a heartbreaking loss - in large measure due to missed FT's (I told my son to get used to that, it's Syracuse hoops after all), we got to go down to the floor.  He got a picture taken with Floyd Little.  And then the BIG treat - all of the team came back out and signed a team poster for him and other kids.  Wrote "To Alex" on the top and each player put their number on the poster. He then ran up to Llandz and gave her a huge hug.  So... instead of reading him a story and putting him to bed late last night - he put the poster out and then had me look up each player by number, tell him her name and stats, and then we had to talk about each one at length.

I've followed SU all my life, and in truth, have never watched, much less attended a women's game.  To my discredit.  It was eye opening.  Really fun.  Good, tough game.  And a lot of desire on the court.  Kind of reminded me of the purity of the game.   And great value for the money if you have a family.

When they got down by 8 or 9 in the 1st half, my son started to tear up.  An alum in front of us very nicely said, "you need to cheer more - they need you right now!  So he did, and the team came roaring back.   And my son shattered some ear drums with his screams.   My wife (who went as well) said to my son at the end of the game, You are still going to Harvard.  He replied, I'm not going to Harbor mommy.  I'm Orange.

Llandz is an incredible fan and credit to the University.  She repeatedly got the 100 or so Cusians up on our feet chanting LGO!  She brought orange pom poms and orange face stickers for the kids, put out reserved seating signs and was generally a whirlwind at the event.   And finally, the women's team are terrific.  Very polite and engaging.  And talented.  Just need to work on those FT's!
