Freshman at SU in fall of '97.
Graduated in spring of '01.
When applying for college, had 2 main criteria - 1) a good/great communications program... 2) a FOOTBALL school.
Got both... at least while I was a student.
During the McNabb years, when basketball was a little lean, I love that we were a football school.
Now a rabid fan of football AND basketball.
Didn't go to basketball games my freshman/sophomore years.. had seasons by senior year.
Yes, I regret missing lots of games (and court stormings, worthy or not)
But I think I've made up for it and thensome by traveling from the NYC area a TON to see basketball games - both in the Dome and on the road.
And I watch EVERY game on TV.

In the past few years alone, been to:
Dome at least once a season 
Every game SU has played at MSG (except for St. John's this year, was in Florida)
Rutgers every time
Seton Hall every time
Providence a few times
Hartford once
Gampel for the Gameday game a few years ago
Villanova for every chance
probably a few others I'm missing.

2 tournament games in Cleveland (when we lost to Marquette)
2 tournament games in Pittsburgh (won both)
Saw us cut down the nets in DC last year
Saw us cut down the nets in Albany in 2003

Favorite players: Gerry by far.. Arinze.. Jonny Flynn.

So incredibly happy I've gradually built up my SU basketball fandom (football was always there) over the past 13 years... and that it gives me an awesome reason to get together with friends near and far for 15-20 times each winter.
