To confirm, we did buy the bench seats. Didn't want to say anything to make sure the Cuse dept didn't accidentally "lose" the tickets or give us a hard time. Was an amazing experience but got even better when we were told we had access to the Syracuse hospitality suite. Of course, we had to walk around the entire court to get there including by the Cuse student section while we rocked the Hoyas jerseys. But that was just the beginnign of the fun. When we got to the suite, If there were a vinyl record playing, it would have shrieked to a stop. Cuse fans just stared at us with their jaws dropped as if how could we dare to enter. John Wallace was there and just glared at us. Another guy asked us if wed ever see. A prison movie and if we knew what a shanking was. We calmly grabbed our free beers and sauntered out. To add to the fun, we made T shirts that read "thanks for the memories... of kicking your AS#!" on the back along with a picture of a hand crushing an orange which we calmly unveiled in the final few minutes so the thousands of Cuse fans sitting behind us could enjoy. May have been the perfect day. hahahahahahahahahaha

That was us in the pictures. I'll send a picture of the shirt when I get back to my computer.

One piece of that story tells all you need to know about SU. At GU, they show the Exorcist during orientation. At SU, prison movies. One is a look at history; the other a look at their future.

Did you ever know that you're my hero, And everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, For you are the wind beneath my wings.

I saw that picture in the media and thought it was great. The eating grin, however, surprised me somewhat. Then I read this thread. You go man. You go.

One which must be captured on video and shared with the Troy Nunes blog. Given your current (and deserved) celebrity status, however, I think Georgetown should give you Verizon's center court at halftime on March 9 and watch you tear it up in front of the entire crowd.

Between you guys and the team... never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
