A couple of weeks ago when I attended the Syracuse vs. St. Johns basketball game at MSG, my friends and I noticed a few girls wearing the seriously most awesome t-shirt. It said “I orange SU” like the I heart NY shirts. I had never seen it before and immediately realized that I must own it... Now. We asked her where she obtained the shirt and she said she got it up at school on Marshall St. Luckily my friend Mara’s boss travels frequently up to Syracuse for business, so she sent him on a mission to find the shirts for us. An unsuccessful mission. The shirts were nowhere to be found. So I decided to do an internet search. You can find anything on the internet... Except these shirts. I spent a good 2 hours googling “I orange SU tshirt”, “I picture of orange SU tshirt”, “I fruit orange SU tshirt”, and every school fan gear website under the sun and still came up dry. Apparently these are like the holy grail of tshirts...
Yesterday we were out watching the tourney game at an SU bar and realized that everyone there was really young. At the end of the game, with only a couple seconds left, they all started singing this odd cheer that none of us had ever heard before and was clearly from after our time. We decided to ask one of the girls what year she graduated. 2008. Good god you are 5. She of course asked us the same question and we were like... Uhhh 2002. To which she said, ohh it’s so nice that you guys still come out. What!?? We’re 28, not DEAD. Of course one of the chicks was wearing the shirt that I have made it my life’s mission to have, and I seriously considered making her an offer to purchase it off her back... Maybe she’d even give me the senior citizen discount...

I tried. Couldn't find for you.
Luckily there are two of us looking....one would think 2 pair of eyes would be better than 1 but someone doesnt want us to have them!
I cannot go on living without this shirt and I refuse to believe that I cannot have one. I will go to the ends of the earth first...
I nearly died with the part about the "young-ins" saying that's nice you still come out...I recently was at a stop light and noticed a girl wearing SU gear (not the coveted "I orange SU" unfortunately)and asked her when she graduated....and she said she was a sophomore....damn I feel old!!!
BTW - we WILL find those damn shirts come hell or high water!!!
