Close. Less than a year away. Born in Syracuse, grew up in Syracuse, went to SU, and Cornell for law school. Then moved away, first to NYC, and then WDC. Now in Florida most of the year. Still have family and friends in Syracuse and spend Summers there. Never miss a football or lacrosse game on TV. Used to never miss a basketball game either, until last season. Then watched some Siena BB.
totally agree.
Just watch out for those parking lot concrete barriers and you’ll be fine!
Mike McMuffedit catching strays.
And he'll still score on you on the soccer pitch
Cool you are in the running I think.
Got you by a few months. Maybe we will both make it!
"Running" may be a poor choice of words. Maybe we just go with "in contention"?
So you and I are close. I'm next March.
Cool. I'm April.
hang in there bro, will look forward to hearing of your return to Domeland!Just want to thank the community in general. I've been caretaking for my father whose battling cancer. This has always been a fun community but more important as an escape this summer. Cheers to all.
We won't be able to make trips up for games this season but we'll be cheering from NJ instead of our seats in Sec. 248.
I ask everyone going to the Dome this season to give an extra 1% on 3rd downs for our absence and make that place hell for visiting players/coaches.
Maybe we can catch the bowl game if its late enough.
G'Orange!
Thanks for your comments and recollection of your dad's fandom. Same with me. But PSU and GT will NEVER happen with me. And add ND to the list, if not at the very front. Have you ever heard about the 1961 Syracuse/ND football game . . . .? [I've written about it elsewhere on these pages and will write about it any chance I get. I'm still PISSED! Almost 64 years later. I remember it like it happened yesterday. Somewhere I have a scapbook I made of all the newspaper articles about it at the time. The back and forth columns between Stanley Woodward of the New York Herald-Tribune (pro-SU) and Red Smith of the New York Times (pro-ND). All were reprinted in the old Herald-Journal. I have to find it! Maybe post some photos of some of the articles on here. Maybe it needs its own thread, if not its own Forum.]
Best wishes and prayers for your father!Just want to thank the community in general. I've been caretaking for my father whose battling cancer. This has always been a fun community but more important as an escape this summer. Cheers to all.

It's great to still have so many of us who can go all the way back to Ben.
Yes, I have heard of the 1961 ND game. First from my father and many times on this site. I miss Steve/SWC75 and his reminiscing of Orangemen past. I love the old stories, even on reruns.
