Message: [QUOTE="SyracuseTD, post: 899307, member: 4203"] Hey all, Born 1992. From Ohio Grandpa went to Syracuse, class of 1959 He's really big on traditions so every year as a kid starting when I was 7, he would pick me up and we would drive 9 hours to Syracuse. We would camp for a week on Lake Ontario and when we came back into the city, we would go to the Manley Field House and pick up all the new posters and schedules for the upcoming sports seasons and I would wander aimlessly around the building looking for athletes and coaches to get autographs from. In the 10 years I went on this annual trip, I never once ran into Boeheim. I did meet Mike Hopkins and he was kind enough to drive us around all the facilities for the basketball team/introduced me to Paul Harris, Terrence Roberts, and Eric Devendorf, and I got to meet coach John Desko of the Lacrosse team. Anyways, as the years passed, my love for the town of Syracuse grew. The love was based on tradition, and my grandpa's legacy. My whole family is die hard Syracuse, especially when it comes to Cuse Basketball. My first Syracuse memory, or at least the oldest memory I have of actually watching the Orangemen play and knowing I was a fan. 2003, watching Gerry MacNamara play. Something about the way he played the game, it was very inspiring to me as a kid. I was only 11 at the time but he was the thing that solidified my identity as a fan of this team. Watching him fearlessly shoot three pointers with six hands in his face was just amazing to watch at a young age. It just stuck with me for all these years. So yeah, ever since then I've loved this team. I'm pretty sure I've convinced all 4 of my housemates to like them as well just because of how much Syracuse I have in my room. New to the board and glad to be a part of it. BEST TEAM IN THE LAND PG - Tyler "SoulPatch" Ennis SG - Trevor "Shaky Taters" Cooney SF - Carlton Jervicious Fair PF - Jerami "Slowly Getting That Mid-Range Jumper Down" Grant C - Rakeem "It May Be January But Its Still" Christmas [/QUOTE]
