Message: [QUOTE="Coach Orange, post: 897338, member: 2260"] I was sure I had completed this already. I stand corrected. Here it goes: [LIST] [*]Born in 1976 and raised in Westvale, a suburb of Syracuse. [*]Graduated from Westhill. [*]Attended Oswego for a semester, but I really wanted to attend SU, so I transferred. Attended August 1995-December 1998. Walked the stage in 1999. Sat next to Keith Bullock during the Arts and Sciences Commencement. [*]Returned to SU to earn my Masters--2001-2003. Defended my dossier project the Friday of the week we won the national title. [*]Teach English and Composition at a Syracuse-area college. [*]Coached basketball at a variety of levels--from recreational leagues to varsity summer leagues. [*]Deserve to be called a "basketball nerd" since I break down game film every chance I get. [*]Love both Syracuse football and basketball. [*]Trace my earliest memories of Syracuse basketball to the Rafael Addison/Wendell Alexis teams. I became a lifelong fan of both the team and the sport with the arrival of Pearl Washington. [*]Called Sherman Douglas my favorite player for years (I was a point guard as a kid). Carmelo tied "The General" in 2003, and though G-Mac earned his spot during that season, he solidified it throughout his entire career. However, Tyler Ennis is working his way into the conversation... [*]Remember the devastation of '87. In terms of my sports life, that low point has only been surpassed by the euphoria of 2003. [*]Became a fan of Syracuse football during the Scott Schwedes years. [*]Recall vividly the first play from scrimmage of the '87 Penn State game, despite never having seen a replay of it. Had a perfect view of it from my end-zone seat. [*]Had almost the exact same view of the McNabb to Brominski throwback play vs. VT. [*]Was one of the first to learn that Malcolm Thomas was voted a team captain as, at the time, he and I were working on a project together for our Biopsychology class. He was psyched to say the least. [*]Missed only one Syracuse football home game during my undergraduate years--the infamous Tennessee game. I was visiting my girlfriend's family in Massachusetts. I'm sure my absence caused the loss. Sorry. [*]Have football season tickets. [*]Plan to rectify my lack of basketball season tickets next season if possible. Still attend several games a year. [*]Have enjoyed the conversations with all of you here on Syracusefan. Thanks to all of the mods for the site, and the work you do for us. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
