Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 3779963, member: 716"] 2003 was nice because it was a surprise. 2005 was our entitlement. Preseason #6 or 7. Warrick et al.'s senior year. They deserved another one. I was dating a girl who had a high school friend who was an Illinois manager. Per this guy, they had their eye on Syracuse, not UNC, all year long. And then after the annual Edelin rough patch, SU actually improved during the course of February and March - not exactly a common thing. Watkins and Roberts came on strong. And we exorcised the UConn demons and won the Big East. It was all coming together. The seeding, the suspensions, the floor with the dead spots, and the ridiculous travel calls that had never been called on Warrick piling up (to say nothing of the T on Roberts). It was gut-wrenching to see it all slip away like that. And it was hard not to see it as the end of an era (which it was). [/QUOTE]
