The special bond of Cuse Fans

A non conference game against a "cupcake" on a Wednesday, 2 days after Christmas, no student section - temperature about 0, wind chill significantly sub zero, 2-4 inches of snow falls during the game. No one skips a beat. It really is a beautiful thing.

Almost 22,000 fans at the game. You are much better than I am as I would not stop to take a photo. I didn't stop until the Orange Crate.

That's an awesome pic.

New Year’s Eve will be even colder! Brrrrrrrrrrrr!

Nothing like walking down the hill after a win.

Are they all leaving early to beat the traffic? Or to go rake leaves?

I remember that walk well. Been over a decade since I've been to a game. I would need to cut my Ton Ton open and crawl inside to survive it nowadays.

You guys will see me tumbling/sliding down it after the ND and UVA victories with my girlfriend at the bottom of the hill ready to disown me.

Good post. I think even the SU fanbase takes itself for granted.

There is no fan base for any college program in the country that shows the routine devotion and love that Syracuse fans do on a routine basis all winter long, every winter.

Of course, SU fans are also awesome at road games. Congratulations to all of us!

here is the unfiltered version in case you want to play with it. I actually think this looks better... I was a few Ginger Ales (minus the ginger) and frozen half to death while walking to the Orange Crate trying to post the pic with my original filter.

Great post. On a board where certain topics can be beaten to death -- and then taken out and beaten some more -- it's refreshing to see a take that is both positive and creative in approach. Well done!

Is the orange crate the new great cuse bar? Went there before the clemson and bc football games. It was awesome

Beautiful indeed! Just more proof that 'Cuse fans don't need AC to show up more for football games, just stop the constant losing and win more than you lose!

The awesome at road games thing is debatable. SU fans have a reputation for being drunk, uncouth, obnoxious at road games. You can pat yourselves on the back all you want, that reputation is well earned.

No, no, no... CNY/Cuse fans are only fair weather in the fall. They/we are hardcore and diehard in the winter.

Pft, try to keep up...

Fantastic shot.

Or sliding down it...

I like the Crate. Great prices. Decent seating. Decent amount of TV's. Plus, the choices are dwindling.

There are bad apples in every group but in my experience, most SU fans are classy, knowledgeable and reasonably behaved. I mostly go to road games for football. My experience with basketball is mostly limited to BET and ACC tournament games, games at MSG and NCAA tournament games.

The only fans that I have heard express those sentiments were UConn fans. But they were drunker and more obnoxious. I swear!

Down here in ACC country, the only fans with a worse rep than Syracuse fans are NC State fans.
