Congratulations to the 2005 Big East Champion Syracuse OrangeMEN!!
Look at that smile on Hakim's face.. makes me all warm and fuzzy. I'm so happy that Hakim, GMac, Pace and even Forth got to win this. It's really the only thing they haven't accomplished in their time at Syracuse.. though another national championship wouldn't be bad, boys!
There was an article on Syracuse.com yesterday about UConn talking some smack firing up my Orangemen. To which I say: you mess with the Orange, you're likely to get juiced! Also, I'd like to say to the Orangemen: when you get up by 18 - 20 points: don't let 'em breathe! My heart can only take so much.
Please read what CJ says so I don't have to repeat it here. All I have to add is that the play of Roberts and more recently, Watkins, has given me more hope not only for the tournament, but for next year. Earlier in the season I was depressed about next year.. no Hakim or Pace, what ever implosion befalls Edelin.. I imagined poor Gerry running all over the court trying to do everything himself and passing out by half time. But there is a future! And I do believe credit should be given to our fearless leader, future hall of famer, Jim Boeheim.
Also, please read the only tolerable Boston sports writer left, Bob Ryan, on the Orangemen's victory. This was front page on the Boston Globe's sports section today. A paper that usually snubs my Orange.
I'm off to the seletion show!-----
