An Ivy Leaguer

Today was school spirit or college team day. Of course, I was planning on donning some Syracuse gear. That is, until they sh*t the bed last night. Whenever a team ranked number one in a region loses before the final four, it is considered and upset. A disappointment. Personally, I was not plan on wearing gear for a team that disappointed.

On top of that, Syracuse has a huge following in our area. So, I knew a lot of people would have SU stuff on. I like to be different, so I put out my feelers. And what I found was pretty different. I found a Cornell jersey.

Now, you are probably saying to yourself, Cornell lost last night too. Yes, they did. But, they were a 12 seed in the sweet sixteen. They didn't disappoint, they surprised! Even with the loss, people are still high on what Cornell was able to accomplish. So, I wore the big red all day today. I say big red, because the jersey I was handed was a 2xl. I tied it up at the hip and walked around with my head held high.

I must have been sending off a proud aura, as nearly everyone I passed in the hallway today asked me the same question.

"Did you go to Cornell?" Seriously? Do I look like I went to Cornell? I'm actually a fairly intelligent person, but my perception is that I come across even more dumb than I really am. For people to even perceive for a split second that I am an Ivy Leaguer is preposterous! However, I did greatly enjoy the idea. I did not humor it, only laughed and said, no.

Anyways, all of you Syracuse fans out there don't be upset. I did still have Syracuse on along with the Cornell jersey.

And, I will always have them in my heart. That is why Jeff and I will name a future daughter Sarah Cuse. Right, Jeff?
