The NCAA can't take that away from you just like they can't take away the memories from the 1996 Umass and 2008 Memphis runs. They can take away a banner but who really cares about that 25 years from now.
I work with a number of OSU graduates, most of them as you might expect being pretty big football fans. A few of them went to New Orleans for the 2011 Sugar Bowl which OSU won over Arkansas, but the win was later vacated. While all of them said they're disappointed the win was vacated and wish OSU didn't face the scandal it faced, they also said vacating the win after the fact in no way changed their memories of the trip. "Who cares what a record book says? I still had a blast and I watched my team win."
