Rob Gronkowski's cameo at Syracuse-Duke game has Twitter buzzing originally appeared on nbcsportsboston.com
Who needs a beach vacation when you can watch college basketball in central New York?
Rob Gronkowski apparently had that same thought, as the New England Patriots tight end showed up to the Carrier Dome in full Orange regalia Saturday night to watch Syracuse battle No. 1 Duke.
Gronkowski hails from the Buffalo area -- he grew up in nearby Williamsville, N.Y. -- hence the allegiance to Syracuse, about 150 miles east on I-90.
The 29-year-old rolled in with a crew, too, as his brothers joined him in courtside seats for the high-profile matchup.
