[QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 546170, member: 622"]
Born at St. Joe's in Syracuse.  My dad's job took us away, but we moved back just in time to catch the Louie-Bouie show.  My dad loved sports and it was nothing for me to join in.  I did not attend SU, but always kept Syracuse as my favorite team.  When I joined the USAF, I moved a lot, always wearing Syracuse apparel.  Even now in Houston, I wear Orange gear.  Mostly I get positive comments as the Orange are respected and nobody asks "Who" or "What" is Syracuse, everyone knows, unlike a certain State University east and south of NY.
 
My wife and girls are all Orange fans, too.  My future son-in-law has finally accepted that Syracuse WILL be his #2 team (I don't want to beat him down too much).  This was especially hard as his favorite team is OU in football and Louisville in hoops, he loves red and hates orange (UT and OSU), but has agreed to wear blue Syracuse gear.  He follows the Orange, now, too so we can talk about it.
 
Too many memories to pick one favorite, but I have always loved being a part of the larger crowds.  I've attended many games around the country and the crowds can be fun, but I can testify that there is NO PLACE LIKE DOME!
