Seventeen and Ohhhh!

The hardest part about getting to the game in the Garden was DEFINITELY getting out of the driveway!!!  The snow was soft --and deep-- until I got to the very end.  Then I hit the "snowplow crud."  It was soft enough that I sunk all the way to the bottom, but SO DEEP that I couldn't lift my legs back out (partly because of the deep snow and partly because of what my trainer did to me earlier in the week -- ouch!).    I stood in crotch deep snow for a couple of seconds, just to catch my breath, then catapulted myself out into the street where my friend was waiting for me in a warm car.

I had snow all over my pants and up under my knee-length coat.  I was soaked!  Funny thing is, once we got on the road, it was smooth sailing.  Everything was perfectly clear and there were hardly any cars.  I guessed that most people couldn't get out of their driveways, and no one was dumb enough to wade through waist-deep snow for a silly basketball game.  It took us exactly one hour to get to the parking garage near MSG.

And the Orange won the game!!!

So it was worth all the effort!

Here we are, cheering for the "home" team! 


You know, Syracuse is "New York's university!"  The Orange was definitely in the Apple last night! 

Next stop:  Cincinnati.  Wait, is that considered another "home game?"  Oh.  It IS a home game.  What about Pittsburgh next Monday?  Will that somehow get pegged as a home game?
