May 12 1996- graduation

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

So hard to pick one favorite, but this will forever stand out.

May 12, 1996 graduation day for our class.  We woke up & started our ceremony to snow in the air and on the ground!  AH the weather in Syracuse may be the only thing I do not miss!

How can I pick just one memory?

Freshman year, 1995 basketball team made it to the final 4, all the students rushed down to Marshall street, it was complete chaos. People were climbing telephone poles, the bartenders at 44’s were dancing on the roof, people were screaming and drinking in the streets. Everyone came together to celebrate our teams victory and man did we celebrate Cuse style. It was really quite a site. Although this memory is a toss up between the tornado in 1999 Labor Day when we had street curfew and the national reserve in town to help clean up or our senior year block party, which was complete mayhem. Firetrucks on both ends of Lancaster putting out fires. Oh the glory days of SU, I wouldn’t trade them for the world.

However, one particular moment stands out for me. November of 1992 when SU played Miami in the Dome. That was the loudest sporting event I have been to in my life. I have been to many exciting playoff games at Yankee Stadium during the last 11 years when the place was rocking so hard that the upper deck was shaking. When SU was driving down the field with a minute to go and Marvin Graves was throwing up on the sideline between plays, my head hurt so bad from the noise that I had to lay down. I remember looking at my friends and couldn’t believe it was coming down to this last drive. From the student section, we thought we had won the game when Chris Gedney was tackled at the 2-yard line. It wasn’t until the Miami players came running over to our section to mock us that we realized we c!

short. Regardless of the outcome, it was a defining moment for SU sports and completely transfused my blood from red to orange. It is a day I will never forget.
