Syracuse Defeats DePaul, Soiled Orange Laundry Unsoiled

This lovely couple is Nelson (a.k.a. chicagocuse) and his girlfriend. They attended Saturday's game with a divided loyalties and a even greater prize at stake than just winning a Big East game. Dirty laundry and the right to sit idly by while the other person handles it all by themselves.
It almost took a permanent press but the Orange were finally able to put DePaul in the spin cycle and hang DePaul out to dry (sorry). And so, like the Orange, Nelson won his bet. But it certainly wasn't easy.
It's also good to now know these two because when you watch this video of the end of the game, you'll know who those two screaming lunatics behind the camera are (FF to 1:10 for all of the camera-shaking victory goodness).
Some more goodies from Nelson after the jump...
Just in case you didn't believe that they were tons of Cuse fans in the building (including the nosebleeds)...
A solid panoramic view of the entire Allstate Arena

Good work, Nelson. The bar has been raised for SU fans who go to away games. Everyone is now required to do this. At the very least.

Well done old friend.
I may have inspired a Syracuse basketball photoshop contest, but your striking visage made the front page. Check…for now.
I too have an enemy combatant girlfriend (Pitt), so perhaps I will have to find a way to leverage this into a similar report in the future. (We bet on our game this year too. I had to pay for brunch as a result.)
Sean you are a gentleman and a scholar
I was happy to contribute the footage. I didn’t think you would turn it into a full post, but that’s why they pay you the big bucks. Your drinks are always free at my house.
On the video of the final seconds you can hear my gf in the background screaming “shoot the ball, what are you waiting for?!” or something like that.
That game by the way was my girlfriend’s first time going to see a DePaul game live….sad. After the game she said, “that was fun, I’d go again to watch them play another team.” My response: “so where the hell were you when you actually went to school there?”
"It's not drinking alone if you is on webcam, remember that!"
having seen a couple of DePaul games...
They’re usually not that good, and the Allstate Arena is hard to get to without a car.
Sounds like you had a blast there
I nearly had a heart attack here.
There was a lot of Orange fans there too.
pretty sure the alumni club
got A LOT of tickets to the providence game, so there will be lot of orange, all together
"Woooo!
Shut it down! Shut it down!" That’s some nice work.
Go Orange- and while your doing that you might as well shut it down.
Damn
Had I known what a class act you were Nelson I’d have dragged my frantic, screaming, frazzled ass your way. Well done! And I can now sleep easy knowing for sure it wasn’t your ass mooning a bus in the parking lot.
