What a crazy, disjointed game...the refs did their best to take it away from us.
Anyways...we had a nice representation up in the 200 section. If I guessed we had 250 fans...maybe 300. Most up in the 200 section. Arkansas fans commented that we brought a bunch of fans and were impressed...the arena was probably at 99% capacity. Arena was very nice...brick and metal roof but not over the top luxurious, Concessions looked decent but nothing special. Bathrooms...sadly no troughs. The arena got very loud at times but Cuse kept shutting them down. Not a bad seat in the house...felt smaller than a 19,500 seat arena.
The player intro was funny...they yelled things after each Cuse player...Like: Nothing Special, Who Cares, etc... A ripoff from the Manley Zoo days but G rated. Their intro was very cool...NBA like. They did this Pig Sooie cheer 4 different times...19000 fans stand up and do this ritual. weird.
Dickson St is their Marshall St...very nice. Lots of good bars and food joints. Cuse was well represented downtown before and after the game. The university sits on a few huge hills...seemed more hilly than Syracuse's campus. Meet a bunch of new friends in the Cuse community...I recruited 2 or 3 of them to join the board. Driving back to Tejas tomorrow with Orangello and my wife.
