No. 4 Syracuse. No. 7 Villanova. 34,616. What Else Do I Need To Say?

Here we go. All the hype, all the stories, all the previews...we're finally here. The question is, where will you be?
Those of you who will be among the 34,616, we salute you. Make noise. Lots of noise. Ungodly amounts of noise. Richter-Scale shaking noise. The kind of noise that would cause an opposing player with loose bowels to let loose all over themselves.
As for the rest of us, let the folks know where you'll be. Maybe someone in your area needs a refuge to root for the Orange. Let's stop being co-workers and start being co-people.
As for me? I'll be with the big LA Orange contingent at Hollywood Billiards. A huge SU turnout is supposed to be going on and prizes will be given out. You know me. I love prizes. If you're in the LA-area and want to be amongst "better" people, I'll see you there.
INSERT "I'LL BE THE ONE WEARING ORANGE" JOKE HERE.
But seriously, if you come on down, please search me out and accost me. I'm very striking so I can't imagine you'll miss me. I will be wearing my Gregapalooza T-shirt, I can't imagine too many people in LA are sporting those. If you do say hi and introduce yourself and I don't know who are, don't hold it against me! Even though I've talked to you online many times, SUBRO6969, I have a horrible memory.

I'll be in section 107 (huzzah!)
I’ll be the one wearing the BEAT NOVA shirt (as will my dad and brother). They had to pay for their shirts, heh heh…
Syracuse players have a lot of length.
Party, Rest, Party some more - Gametime
A few of us Syarcuse fans in Jacksonville, FL will start partying at 10 AM for the early GameDay – passout and then pick it back up at 7 PM before the evening GameDay. It is going to get loud so I’m sending the kids to their grandparents for the night.
I’m skipping Monster Jam and the best trailer park’s have to offer for this game…
I'll be at home. Hosting a party.
Wearing my Cuse Snuggie
Aint no way I’m going to risk jinxing this game.
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.

As in first half for one, second half for the other?

I love how Dana O'Neil says she's looking forward to
“The view from section Binghamton”
I, myself will be here in Bingo, I’ll make sure to give a shout out.
I think the dome is opening reserved parking up the street and shuttling :-P
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
Orange in Wisconsin!
The reconstituted Syracuse University Alumni Club of Wisconsin has wisely chosen its kick-off meeting around the biggest game of the year.
Mo’s Irish Pub in Wauwatosa — one of our alums is a server there, and the GM is from CNY and huge ’Cuse fan. Perfect.
Baby it’s cold outside…but it’s gonna smokin’ hot in the Dome…and at Mo’s!
Anyone in Sac?
Maybe I should just email Donte Greene and see if he wants to watch the game together.
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
Hmm...
I’m driving back from San Jose to San Diego tomorrow (after spending four months up here for work — only after living in San Diego for 8 years can a one-time Syracuse resident complain about Bay Area weather, but, well, compared to San Diego, it sucks); I should be in range for LA-area radio stations by tip-off if I get out the door early enough, but it looks like I won’t be able to watch the game.
Why the rush?
Take the 405 to the 101, get off in Hollywood and grab a drink at the Billiards with us.

I’m in Forsyth County about 40 minutes North of ATL.

Atlanta game watching
If you’re in the Atlanta area, The Hudson Grill at Perimeter is the spot.
Good amount of Orange fans?
Just wondering b/c it’s kind of a far drive, but if it’s worth it, I’ll make the trip.

OT
That’s my favorite AC/DC song by far. The ending always gets me pumped up

It's gonna be a long Saturday
Currently in Philly, going out to some Nova bars with my St Joes roomates tonight to talk trash, then driving up to Cuse bright and early and hung over on Saturday morning. A quick trip to Middle Ages Brewing Co and some tailgating before the game. It’s gonna be great.
Brave
Let us know if you need bail money

Keeping it real in 318, Row Z
I’ll be the one who looks like he won’t remember anything that happens.
Sec 318 Row U
Driving up from NJ in the morning, bringing the noise with me. Expect to have lost my voice by 11pm. But hope it will all be worth it.

Baltimore Orangemen
Yeah I said it ORANGEMEN! Okay ladies can come too! I will be at Ropewalk in the Federal Hill section of Baltimore watching the game in the back bar. A small contingent of upstaters will be cheering with me, join us!!!

I will be in Englewood Cliffs, NJ
I work for NBC, and we’re doing Olympics coverage…but you bet your ass that the in-house cable station at my desk will be tuned to ’Cuse-Nova, and not some silly ski jump contest. Go Orange!

I used to deliver Red Bull to the CNBC building right in Englewood Cliffs. Route 9 maybe it was called?

Yup!
That is the one – right on Sylvan Ave (9W). Cuse will be watched from said facility tomorrow night.

Why
are all the LA meetups in Hollywood? Guess what. I’m going to a Westside bar (South, Qs?), drinking, and not driving 15 miles home drunk. Suck it Hollywood!
Normally
I would be with you but I’m going to be up in that area anyway.
Q’s surrounded by a bunch of USC mongoloids or Hollywood surrounded by Cuse fans…COME ON!!!!

I'll pass
on a $80 cab ride home or DUI. Remember the days of Cuse meetups at Barney’s? We have one on the promenade! Make it happen!
Is Barneys..
…that one in Westwood?

Barney's is in
Santa Monica and Hollywood. You thinking of Westwood Brewing?
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician - The Syracuse blog that cares.
Eh maybe
I was half in the bag the last time I was there. It was a UCLA bar, but for some reason there was a solid ’Cuse contingent there the one time I went.

DC will be shutting it down
at Sign of the Whale in Dupont for the game. Come on out to join a HUUUUUGE Cuse crowd tomorrow night (Fucillo reference anyone?). BeatNova!!!! Oh yeah and come early if ur even thinking about a seat. It fills up quick.

Last time I was there, I felt like crying as Oklahoma ran over us.
I will never go inside that bar again if I can help it.
This Is a Long Shot......Midland/Odessa, Texas?? Anyone??
I know this is supposed to be “high school football country” but I would love to meet some Cuse fans in the Midland/Odessa area. So where the West Texaners at?

Wow dude
Sorry, you’re about a year and a half too late or else I’d def join you.

Live in DC.
I’ll be watching Jerry Seinfeld at the Kennedy Center (bought the tickets almost 3 months ago). Normally I’d be giddy all day about this! But I think I’d honestly rather be watching this game.
The show supposedly starts at 7pm. Does Seinfeld have an opening act? I doubt it. So he might be done before the game is over…
The question is, where will you be?
Not there… UGH. Was gonna drive up last night but they closed I-84 so I told my buddy to give away my ticket. Oh well…
GO ORANGE!
Agreed.
