3 Generations

I went to Syracuse because my Daddy went to Syracuse who went to Syracuse because he rooted for Orange sports. We will spend the next 18 years outfitting the children with Syracuse clothing, rooting for them in all sports, but most especially football, basketball and lacrosse. We will randomly sing "the Cuse is in the house, oh my god oh my god" or "it's great, uh huh, to be, that's right, an SU Orange" while cleaning or cooking or raking or any other house related -ing. And our kids will be the third generation at Syracuse University - and we will owe somewhere in the range of $300K for college expenses. We should start one of those college accounts right now.



Just for the information - the Duke did not go to Syracuse University because he lamely went to the little school in Syracuse, Le Moyne College. He does, however, root for Orange sports similar to my father - much anger and anguish accompany being a fan of the Orange. Thus the Prince and Princess will receive much legacy (3 generations of SU graduates and if they get a degree in the Maxwell School as did their mother and grandfather we will get box seats at their graduation - because that's how private school rolls) and much orange wearing, Cuse rooting, football swearing, Boeheim worshipping (of course their father is a townie, and all townies should be forbidden from the Hill, but we love him and thus tolerate his affection)
