Syracuse Beats Saint John's; 9 Feet of Snow in Oswego
The Tank's sports withdrawal was aided yesterday by Syracuse's incredible 76-74 victory over Saint John's at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. This is the toughest week of the year as (1) football is over, (2) baseball has yet to begin, (3) Valentine's Day is Wednesday (more then), and (4) it's the coldest week of the year.
Syracuse's victory was as big boost to their March Madness bid and to the Tank's spirits. Speaking of Syracuse, my thoughts and prayers are with my former Central New York team handball (Empire State Games and club) teammates just north of Syracuse in Oswego.
You may have heard that Oswego received over nine feet of snow a few days ago. In the mid 1990s, I traveled through Parrish, Mexico, and other hardhit towns. I hope the white stuff doesn't melt too quickly to cause flooding and soil erosion. Though a way's from the City's water table, properly melted snow in Oswego also helps reservoirs refill for the upcoming summer season.
Posted by the Tank in the City but whose heart is in Upstate (AKA "Appalachia" according to Governor Spitzer) NY.
