My, oh how time has passed. Let's just say life got a bit crazy - but in a good way. A lot has happened over the last few months, but that's the past and I would rather not reflect on that. Not when something so special is happening right now. You know exactly what I am talking about.
'Cuse basketball. There is not a thing in the world as precious to me as the Syracuse Orange (okay, Sarah comes first, but 'Cuse is a close second). Like a Phoenix, the Orange have returned to form right on cue and made it to their first Final Four in a decade. And while this might not be Jim Boeheim's most talented team, they are executing the 2-3 zone to perfection and, in my humble opinion, have a chance to bring back some of the magic 'Melo and crew provided back in 2003. After all, CJ's block on Vander Blue's 3 point attempt in yesterday's game against Marquette was eerily similar to Hakim's block on Kansas' Lee 10 years ago. The resemblance is truly uncanny - CJ and Hakim were even wearing the same orange head band.

In any event, I look forward to watching Syracuse in Atlanta and seeing if they can manage to reach the holy grail. And if they happen to beat Louisville in the process, I will be one happy man.
