I'm definitely not as seasoned a fan as most of you. 
 
Anyway, I was born in '88 in NJ. Growing up I was not into college sports. At all. In fact, I remember rolling my eyes when my dad would go on his rants about college basketball and football. Coincidentally, his favorite one to tell was his love affair with Ernie Davis. According to him, there would rarely be college sports on TV when he was growing up in the 50s and 60s. But when there was, at least in NJ, it was always Syracuse. 
 
Then as a freshman in high school I began hearing whispers of this guy from Syracuse with the name Melo. I remember thinking what the hell kind of name is that.  To me, it sounded like some brazilian soccer player. At the lunch table there would be debates all the time. Carmelo or Lebron. Who would you pick first?
 
Not wanting to be left out of the loop, I started watching. I thought this Melo guy was pretty damn good. But my favorite was the walking stick who could seemingly jump out of the gym and hit turn around fadeaways - Hakim Warrick. Then it all culminated in the championship game against Kansas. To this day one of the most exciting game i've ever watched. After that, I was hooked. I knew where I wanted to go to college (the fact that it had Newhouse didn't hurt either).
 
Fast forward 3 years later and I was off to my namesake - Lawrinson Hall. 
 
Fun fact: Now if I go out for Chinese food I will now only order ORANGE chicken.
