My mom said I'd always loved the Syracuse Orangemen ever since I was a toddler. She would put me in my playpen in front of the TV and I would jump up and down watching them play basketball.
Syracuse was high on my college choices, but I just couldn't justify the extra costs vs the quality of the program I was looking for. But I have always been a fan of their team.
From Louie and Bouie show, to the Kermit Sharp dagger that cost them a national championship to the run with Melo, the Orange have always been my favorite college team.
Now they start again with a very young team. But they won both games this week and are on their way to the Big Apple next week for the NIT. Go Orange!
