Grew up in Syracuse. Eastwood, Henninger High.   I remember first hearing about Syracuse a basketball when they handed out some basketball cards in Elementary school. I think they were my first collectible sports cards? Made a big impression. My Grandpa would come and visit before a big game (on his drive in from Greene, NY). Those two things steered me to Syracuse sports.

Later, Z (a Henninger kid) graduated before I got to high school - but the final four run in 96 set our school on fire. Some teachers made it so we could watch a mid day NCAA game.

Went to and flunked out of Oswego rather quickly - too much partying. Went to OCC and then to SU. Started going to football and basketball games. That's when I went die hard. Kueth was in one of my classes. Great guy.

2003 is special. Met my wife - our first date was Syracuse v Mizzou. Later that year we saw Gerry deliver the dagger 3 vs ND. Had the worst seats, but the dome shook. Watched Gerry hit 6 threes and Carmelo, Warrick do their thing v Kansas. (The good news is I will always remember the year we met ;).
