Who's the Blonde Stranger?
Can you believe this? Syracuse just beat Georgetown, a day after taking down UConn (the #1 team in the country) in overtime, making it the first time any team has come back from winning in overtime to winning their game the next day (in the Big East tournament, that is) and the first time a team has come back from a 15 point half-time deficit to win in Big East history. And that "overrated" player McNamara? It's all his doing. His scoring, his grit, his determination, his encouragement, occasionally his scowling at other players, but mostly his sheer full presence on that court. A-mazing. In-credible. Other superlatives that others will say better than I can here.
You know how the cameras always pan to Gerry's parents in the crowd? You know you there's always this one younger blonde woman next to Gerry's mom in the shot that no one ever talks about? Who is she? Who is that blonde stranger?
What an incredible night!

I've never noticed the blonde stranger, but I sure did tonight. She had dropped some time and bucks on that hairdo! As for the victory: amazing, fabulous. The Mountaineers lost to P-I-T-T, so I'm glad the Orange are giving me something to be happy about.
