Message: [QUOTE="NailstheCusefan12, post: 146641, member: 776"] Born in 1990 in Corning, NY and spent my whole childhood there. My dad got his MBA from Syracuse and I had SU clothing on for as long as I can remember. My mom sent my dad to the store when I really young to get me athletic shoes and told him nothing ridiculous. He got me orange and white little kid sized Air Jordan high tops. She wasn't pleased. As long as I can remember, I've loved SU sports (except lacrosse). I don't really have any vivid SU basketball memories early on, but do remember getting to meet Rob Konrad in 2000 (?) at a charity event in Elmira. The first time I can clearly remember an SU basketball season was the 02-03 National Championship run. I was just getting old enough to really follow sports and Carmelo Anthony instantly became my favorite player. (What 12/13 year old SU fan wouldn't agree?) My dad and I watched all the major games together and I can remember storming around the house during the OK State game as my father sat calmly on the couch and told me he felt like we had a run in us. I'm glad he was right. We watched all the games leading up to the Final Four and he got called away on business to Germany the Monday morning before the Championship Game. Not only was he gone, but I had no one to talk to about the game during it. My mom fell asleep on the couch during the second half and thought the house was on fire when I woke her up screaming about Warrick's block. I didn't get to talk to my dad until the next day, but watching the Finally Orange DVD with him is still one of the coolest moments we've shared. My parents still say that from about age 10 or 11 up through high school there was only one college I truly had any interest in going to. I told anyone who would listen that I was going to go to Syracuse. My dad went to RPI for his undergrad, but it was never even a thought. I'm blessed to say I got to go to my dream school, and I'm dying for a Championship to cap off my four years. [/QUOTE]
