Message: [QUOTE="Todd23, post: 146925, member: 539"] - I grew up in a small town in Wayne County, about an hour and 15 minutes from Syracuse. - Been a Syracuse fan for as long as I can remember. My dad is a fan, so I am sure I got it from him, but I took it to a whole new level. - I used to go to 1-2 games a year with my dad/family as I was growing up. - I went to Le Moyne College from 1998-2002. During the first two years I slowly realized how easy/convenient it was to get to the Dome and started going to more and more games. - My junior year (2000-01) I went to almost every home game, just purchasing tickets on a game-by-game basis. - My senior year (2001-02) my then-girlfriend (now wife) was in grad school at SU and I obtained student season tickets. I had the pleasure of sitting with Mason the whole year (I can't imagine many people know more about SU basketball, and basketball in general, than Mason). When I was growing up, season tickets to SU games seemed like something that was unobtainable, so the fact I had them that year makes it one of my favorite years ever of Syracuse basketball. - During my time at Le Moyne, I started going to watch Syracuse practices. It was very enlightening and exciting to see this team I root for so hard up close when the "lights" were not on. It was also great to see things they did in practice translate to games. - I moved out of the area after graduation. My job tends to take up a lot of time, so I can usually only make it to one or two games a year around Christmas when I am in the area visiting my parents. Even so, those are usually the highlights of the Christmas season for me. - I have been a frequent reader (multiple times a day) of Syracusefan.com since the beginning. I have often thought I should post more, but have never gotten overly involved on that end. - My favorite group of players will always be the Coleman, Douglas, Thompson, Owens, etc. group. They were the key players on the team when I really started following the team around the age of eight or nine. - A few items to show my extreme fandom: [LIST] [*]I have a pile of scorebooks in my house. I have kept score of virutally every Syracuse game since 1991. I even bring my scorebook to the Dome. [*]My wife painted one of our spare bedrooms orange and blue and even painted a big Syracuse logo on one wall. [*]I work in athletics and quite often will be at another sporting event while a Syracuse game is going on. EVERYONE around knows not to tell me the score since I will go home and watch it once my responsibilities are complete. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
