Dammot. Now you've done it.

 Never impugn the Emerald City. Not during a Syracuse summer. (Penned by our own occasional commentor, the great Gary Frenay.)

Can Sacramento top this?

    OK you win. That's a good song. Way better than Cake's Arco Arena.

    Arco is now torn down by the way. Former home of the Kings and I'm guessing a bunch of Ice Capades shows.

    And for the record I like Syracuse. Big Syracuse Nationals fan. Who doesn't miss Dolph Schayes? Plus they won an NBA title which is more than the Sacramento Kings ever did or ever will do. I can't believe they left to become the despised Philadelphia 76ers.

    By the way The Syracuse Nationals still exists only now it's a car show.

    Maybe Hot Rod Hundley will be there signing autographs. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Royals which became the KC Kings which became the, you know this, the Sacramento Kings.

    Everything is connected.

    The great California sound of Syracuse's hottest combo! I felt the sand between my toes...wait, at least I thought that was sand...what the hell IS that?
