The Orange-men beat up my Pittsburgh team in the 1st half. I'm happy for CUSE because for the 1st 1/3 of my life I lived near Syracuse. I got to see the great Jim Brown play Football and Lacrosse for the Orange. I also got to watch a guy I played against Ernie Davis break a lot of Browns records at Syracuse.
Pittsburgh will be a very quiet town today after the loss to Syracuse and after having had its St.Paddy's day parade yesterday. My 24 year old kid still hasn't made it home. LOL

Is that some kind of slight because Ralphie likes to wear my BVDs on his head???
bigpeepa: We, of the SU persuasion, are NO longer known as: "Orange-men"...
Officially, SU teams (in a fit of PC craziness) are now REQUIRED to be referred to as: "The ORANGE"...
With lardass OTTO as mascot!
Course, when I was a hippie-freak-peace-love-dope undergrad, our mascot was a skinny "Native American" known as "The Saltine Warrior" paying ?homage? to either the ONADAGA INDIANS, or the SALT MINES in the area...

Tom,
Going to school at S.U. you might have not got around enough to know the name of the small N.Y. City I lived in not far away from Syracuse.
CLUES,We also had a University who's teams are called the "BIG RED" my High School teams were called "LITTLE RED" how cute? NO NO we hated it.
Our Native American's (not PC to be called Indians) were named Cayuga.
My city is named after the sister island to Syracuse.
We had salt mines near the southern end of and under a body of water by the same name. Remember the box of salt with the little girl under an umbrella how cute? Nope again we also hated that image.
People from our area were for every right you could think of, gay rights yes,no to gay rights, war yes,war no,union rights yes,unions no,right to protest,bare arms,hate big government yes or no, we had believers. That is the kind of people that comes with an area that has good (real) Universities like Syracuse or Cornell.
The people I grew up with don't follow leaders like a bunch of blind sheep. We were and still are progressives not blind single minded CON-servatives. I was a lucky young man to have seen the good in America before being introduced to the bad with this phony conservative government.

classic,
I was a lucky young man to have seen the good in America.
That was before this phony conservative form of government brought out the bad in America. A bad divisive form of government that is no longer supported by tricked,lied to,mislead,misused people. Now these same everyday conservatives people realize they have been used for nothing more than PAWNS by the greedy rich.
UNDER BUSH AND THE CONSERVATIVE LAWMAKERS AMERICA HAS HAD THE BEST GOVERNMENT AND LAWS MONEY CAN BUY.
