Hey Mellow, although I haven't lived there for over 20 years, I was born & raised in Syracuse. Remember going to Manley Field House and Archibold Stadium for SU games as a kid. Hate to admit it (ages me), but I was at the 'Valentines Day Massacre' back in the early 70's when SU beat St. Johns. That was back when it was a hugh deal just to beat a top 20 team; being a national contender wasn't even on the radar screen! Although I've been living in the heart of ACC country for 17 years, childhood allegiances don't change. Will always be a hugh Orange fan. <br /><br />Carphunter, welcome to the Big East (B.E.) which should attain undisputed recognition as best basketball conference when you all join (having the past two national champs is a pretty strong foundation as it is). I just wish your Cards were in the Big East this football season. They would have brought some credibility to the conference as a legitimite BCS member as it adjusts to the loss of Miami & Va Tech (and notice how the two ex B.E. members immediately went to the top of the ACC?). Woud have been nice to see your Cards get the B.E. BCS slot and a shot at someone like Auburn or Texas.<br /><br />And Carp, if Mellow lives near Syracuse you DON'T want to get into a debate with him about big carp. There's a lake right there that a chemical plant dumped stuff into for decades. Hugh carp, don't know if they still do it, but they used to have carp bow hunting tournaments.Originally posted by Carphunter:<br /> Amen to that Mellow!<br />Hey, next year you and I can start razzin on each other as my Cardinals enter the Big East conference with your beloved Orangemen. Maybe we can start a new war.
<br />(btw, Louisville will kick their butt)
<br />.......cough.........cough...........Alright, whos smokin!
