[QUOTE="gtwoodley, post: 896193, member: 3062"]
I was born in Niagara Falls back in 1982.  My father is a huge Syracuse fan as well so he got me into them early.  I was just a kid but I vaguely remember him putting a hole in our living room wall after the Keith Smart shot in 87'.  I'm sure my mother was thrilled. 
I started following them heavily around 96' and distinctly remember the great March run that Wallace led us on.  
All throughout High School I idolized Etan Thomas' game.  He was my favorite player until G Mac.

For me, the 2003 championship was the most meaningful championship that any team that I root for has ever won.  I am a Bills/Sabres fan so those are self explanatory but I also am a Yankees fan.  I cherish that 1 NC over the 5 WS that the Yankees have won in my life.

I remember watching Paul Harris and Johnny Flynn play high school basketball and being stoked when I found out they would be re-united at Syracuse.

I still think that we were the best team in the country in 09 before Onuaku got hurt.

Being in the Navy, I travel around the country and meet people/fans from all over.  The debates can get quite intense.  It is great to know that I have Syracuse to hang my hat on each and every year.    It drives my Kentucky friends crazy.  (Yes i have a few, unfortunately)

I cannot wait to see where this season takes us.
Go Orange! Go SU!
