I think they were still using real "sheep skin" for diplomas when xs graduated.
That, of course, was long before PETA.

[xsmommy]

i just received a phone call from xshub. he is distraught bc SU is playing like $hit, and he said, if they lose this, they will have to disband the program, it will be the equivalent of losing to Iraq! can you tell he is a deranged individual!

[Argh]

Hah! I see. And now the "barely" part is explained, too!

[TheGrimReaper]

Remind xshub that it's only a game.

Unless you're from KY, of course.
8-])

[xsmommy]

his son is also named Anthony....

[TheGrimReaper]

Besides, Syrcuse is still up 8 pts with 3 minutes left.
He needs to chill out.

[xsmommy]

they are WINNING, but playing like $hit, so we are all wrapped around the axle, and i need to hear a diatribe about the starter who is out with the flu. yada, yada. Ok, he has hung up now, 3+ minutes to play and he has threatened jumping from his balcony should the outcome not go his way....RME

[Argh]

Hah! They had sheep back then? Huh. Learn something every day...

I don't suppose I should mention here that Miss Rika got her degree on wooly mammoth skin...

[NeoCaveman]

Besides, Syrcuse is still up 8 pts with 3 minutes left.

Right about at where the point spread is. So this was to be expected Cuse winning by single didgits.

[xsmommy]

YOU tell him! i am just glad he is watching at his ofc and not at home. the histrionics are unsettling.

[Argh]

Well, I remember you saying you were at Pitt with Tony in 1976. What you've been doing with his son Anthony I think I'd prefer not to hear...

[xsmommy]

over some no-name Manhattan college!

[NeoCaveman]

over some no-name Manhattan college!

Yup Cuse was only favored by 7.5 points.

And no I did not bet the game.

[xsmommy]

oh ok already. i am an old bag. there. ; )

[xsmommy]

he has vowed that if SU makes it to the Final 4 that we will go to N.O. we went the last time that they were there, i think it was 1987? am i right? the loss to Indiana? but i had friends who lived there back then, and they live in Houston now, so i doubt that he could pull it off.

[Argh]

Oh, really? And where the heck was his balcony-jumping when the world needed the Orangemen to beat the Hurricanes in football these last two seasons?

And I could say I can tell he's deranged because he married you but that wouldn't be nice so I won't say a thing.

[TheGrimReaper]

Don't make any travel arrangements just yet.
The odds of Syracuse making it to the Final 4 are just about as good as Saddam leading the Bastille Day Parade in Baghdad on July 14.

[xsmommy]

he is fairly fanatical about SU football and lacrosse, but TOTALLY insane about basketball.

[Argh]

Did you know lacrosse (not hockey) is Canaduh's official national sport? Most Canaduh-ers don't even know that.

[xsmommy]

i met and had my pic taken with Rick Pitino that last Final 4.
