So you’re saying that looking in the mirror this morning didn’t do it for me?

Gotta get used to it, Corduroy. It only becomes more and more surreal.

I was cracking up because I didn't see the username and thought you just randomly called him corduroy. Like, you are so old and wrinkled, your face looks like corduroy, or just a cool nickname.

You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.
You're older than you've ever been,
and now you're older still.

Next year, the 2003 title will be closer in time to the opening of the Dome than the present day.

 

[nnyorange]

John Wallace’s magical senior year was 30 years ago.
The Pearl’s junior and final season in the dome was 40 years ago.
Time is undefeated

 

[Niastri]

So Far. Time is undefeated So Far.

 

[CuseFan]

Regardless, it beats the alternatives!

I was literally going to post saying, I have a friend who compares years being closer to something in the past than the present just to make us feel old. And then you do it here.

Congratulations! Are you the oldest member on here? I wish you nothing but the best on keeping it going strong.

 

[Archbold44]

I remember watching Ken Griffey. And then Ken Griffey Jr. And then Junior retired. And now it has been 15 years since THAT. Sigh..

Probably. I saw most of the games SWC recreated from The Old Post Standard. And a vital downtown Syracuse that most can't even imagine.

 

[FloridaCuse]

My earliest Syracuse sports memory was hearing about Syracuse playing in its first college football bowl game ever and getting blown out by Alabama 61-6. 1953 Orange Blowl. Everyone thought that SU football would never be invited to a bowl game again. A favorite early memory is when Jim Brown, in the Spring of his senior year at Syracuse, visited my 6th grade gym class at the old Charles Andrews School on the East Side of Syracuse. What a treat that was. 1957 I think.

Yes I do remember a vibrant downtown Syracuse -- Dey Brothers Dept. Store, Wells & Coverly, Flah's, Addis's, Woolworths are the stores I remember. And I think the original Schrafft's (sp?) soda fountain. Theaters -Lowes, the Strand, Echel (sp?) on E. Fayette St. Others?

It was the Eckel. My Dad’s office was a couple of floors above the theater. Yes, the downtown area, or “down city” as we used to call it, was once a very busy and vibrant area.

As for age, you will never again be as young as you are today.

Or closer to...well, you know...

Usually it’s best to aim for clicks with “ Want to feel young” but I admire the rebellious spirit
