Last night, America got to see the opening of the 2008 Olympic Games, some 12 hours after they actually occurred. It is remarkable to see athletes from around the world congregate under one stadium for a tradition that extends our generation of life. The happiness that comes from such history is always amazing and seeing so many stories unite under three weeks of events is moving. Representing the Syracuse areas are Lopez Lomong, of course, Anthony Carmello, Jim Boeheim and a horse rider from Cazenovia. Excellence prevails and it is humbling. It is my goal to one day attend these festivities live, but in the mean time, will rely on NBC.
