Message: [QUOTE="OrOrange44, post: 893598, member: 434"] Born and raised in York Pa. Father was a 3 sport star at York High Father earned FB scholarship to CUSE Freshman team went to Cornell or Colgate (cannot remember which) to watch the varsity play Stands in which my father was sitting collapsed and his knee was destroyed, no more FB for him Usually school would yank schollie, but SU said based on circumstances and my fathers character they would allow him to continue on schollie...father graduated from SU in the 30's My father was forever indebted to SU...and remained close to SU FB Ben Schwarzwalter (sp?) used to come to our house in York for dinner Father scouted local York talent and would invite the players to the house and provide them with info about SU Fond memories rooting the Cuse on in the 75 FF ? Went to SU in 76/77...JB's first year...the Louie/Bouie show (26-4 I believe w HUGE win at L-ville) Got placed in the apartments out by Manley and remember trudging thru the snow to games with my buddy John O' Mahoney Those were the days of the ECAC and huge games w St B and St Johns Pretty awesome atmosphere at the Zoo Had to drop out in spring 77 to care for dying father Moved to Oregon in 81 and got geology degree...now run a geology consulting firm I live and die for SU hoops...been rooting for SU teams since old enough to understand sports Sure appreciate this forum which allows me to feel closer to the team I love I played FB and baseball so I do not know alot of the finer points of BB so I do not post much but read alot Never been to the Dome but someday I hope to come back and see a game and meet some of the wonderful people associated w this board Lets Go Orange...kick some Pitt butt !!!!!
