With: myself
Year: 1998
Reason for watching: Netflix

Watched: 12/19/06
With: myself
Year: 2003
Reason for watching: Netflix, plus I'm a SU fan
Opinion: After so many years of watching SU get close and then not even get close to winning it all, the 2002-2003 season did not disappoint the die-hard SU fans-myself included. This DVD focuses on SU as it should as they were the champs that season. A definite must for SU fans.

With: Scott
Year: 2000
