The win needs a nickname

This picture was way too good not to include.

For starter's Tuesday's victory needs a name. University of Massachusetts fans will be referring to it for years and they'll need something better than "that huge come-from-behind win over Syracuse."

The best I can think of so far:

Upstate Uprising

Carrier Comeback

Refuse to Lose at the Cuse (that's worse than "that huge come-from-behind win over Syracuse")

Minutemade Orange Squeeze

I was planning to make reference to this game in my story, but it didn't quite fit. But lets just say Travis Ford and Rodrick Rhodes have some experiences with big comebacks.

I understand that quite a few UMass fans were on hand to greet the bus with an ovation after the game. Next time you're going to do that email me and I'll wake a photographer. Since there's a reasonable chance that if you're dedicated enough to stay up that late to see the team come in that you may check this blog, I'll get some reaction to that reception tomorrow and post it here.

...29 days til Lost returns...
