I am firmly in the “wait and see” camp. If the 2015-16 version of the Orange can surprise us, the 2016-17 edition might disappoint us. Especially if we pump ourselves up with expectations.

I’m reminded of a story a customer told me many years ago. My first job out of SU was as a sales rep for IBM in the punched card days of computing.

After my presentation, he told me a little story that seemed to him to be apt.

A couple gets married. It’s her fourth marriage.

When they get from the church to the honeymoon suite, she asks him to be gentle as it’s her first time.

He says, “How can that be? You’ve been married three times previously.

“Well, she said, “It’s a sad story. My first husband was killed in an auto accident as we drove away from the church. My second husband died of a heart attack as I was getting out of my wedding dress.”

“What about your third husband?”, asked husband #4.

She responded, “Well, my third husband was an IBM sales person. All he did was sit on the edge of the bed and tell me how great it was gonna be.”

I knew then that this was an experienced IBM customer.

Just like some of us are experienced SU basketball fans.
