Don't ask me why, but my wife and I were discussing the aviation alphabet last night. You know, alfa, bravo, charlie, etc. I got me thinking - what words, people, and places would fit best for a Syracuse-based alphabet? I tried to get a good mix of sports- and campus related items. I'll admit, some of these are quite a stretch, especially Y and Z. Here's my crack at it:
| A | Acropolis |
| B | Boeheim |
| C | Cuse |
| D | Dome |
| E | Euclid |
| F | Faegans |
| G | Gait |
| H | Hendricks |
| I | Irving |
| J | Jojo |
| K | Kimmel |
| L | Link |
| M | Manley |
| N | Nunes |
| O | Orange |
| P | Powell |
| Q | Quad |
| R | Rautins |
| S | Syracuse |
| T | Tolley |
| U | University |
| V | Varsity |
| W | Waverly |
| X | Xzavier |
| Y | Year |
| Z | Zonka (yeah, I know…) |
For Y, I went with Year as in, "what year is so-and-so?" I'm surprised there are now great athletes, street names, campus buildings, even restaurants that I could think of for Y. Jojo (Marasco) and Xzavier (Gaines) were also pushing the fame limits, but I couldn't think of better ideas.
Anyway, what do you folks think? Which ones would you change?
