Driving up to Syracuse this weekend to take in some college basketball and to see some ol’ friends. Been a while since I’ve been to this city – always enjoy going. Something about upstate NY and Syracuse that I really enjoy, might be the cheaper beers and the great wings, might be that enormous mall, or most likely, it’s just the people. Just a breath of fresh air in many ways.
But this w/e is more than just fun; in fact it’ll take on a serious tone for about two hours. That’s because I’m seeing the St. Bonaventure Bonnies take on the #5th ranked Syracuse Orangemen at the Carrier Dome. This one has the makings of a game that could get ugly quick. I mean, I expect a 50-point blowout. A game chalk-full of rim-rocking alley-oops that would make Dr. J blush. Three-pointers from all over. A defensive stifiling. A dismantling like no other. Hopefully the Bonnies will call their dogs off at the intermission.
Looking forward to it, indeed.
