Check out SNY at 7:30pm tonight for Big East Classics, Cuse v. Michigan State from Feb 23, 2003. A classic one point win by the Orange en route to the NC. Carmelo dominated this game. And even though I know the ending, I'm still yelling at the tv at every play. Amazing to see Kueth, McNeil and Josh Pace tearing up the floor again. I hope our game this season isn't a close, but ultimately results in another Cuse victory.

...email subject line from Joe Biden received at 2:40 PM EST today.  Since I've been reading TNIAAM all morning (mainly for the basketball news, which is the only good news lately), I figured the fellow Cuse alum was writing to get me pumped up for the big Akron game Saturday.  He did make a video appearance for the Ernie Davis Legends Field ceremony, so I just thought he was trying to keep the school spirit going into this week too.  I got stoked.  I got hyped.  I was ready to drive up to my native frozen tundra homeland of upstate NY and watch our boys give Akron the biggest revenge-filled fight of their lives this Saturday! 

Turns out he was just trying to get me to donate money for the Democrats' healthcare reform efforts. Damn you Bidennnnn!

Nonetheless, I chose to read it in the context of SU football because I think we can and should win this weekend, and so does Joe Biden's email:

"I believe we can. And Barack Marrone believes we can. But what really matters is whether you believe we can. If you do, now is the moment to make it happen."
