Good for you. I like how you're criticizing my take on the situation based on publicly available information (a phrase I've used repeatedly in this thread) and using information that is not publicly available to do so. Well, if he attempted to pull a few of them aside after addressing them in...

As far as we know he did not meet with them while formulating that chart nor after releasing it, other than to go speak to the entire group in a setting that everyone knew would not be conducive to cooperative work. As far as we know, they did not have input in the student reps. When/where did...

Counter point: there's a lot more feel-based reasoning to people fighting against current civil rights protesters than is used by the protesters. I'm I also appreciate the dialogue. In the current situation at SU, do you think that there are a lot of feelings that are unsupported by unbiased...

This reeks of racism. More than they should have??? Which of the things that they "got" should they not have? So from this post we learned that you hate the term that is considered the best to use by most people in those groups in 2019, make no attempt to imagine how they feel, and then call...

I didn't actually say that the policy decisions should be made based on immediate feelings. I do think part of the chancellors job is to make sure that students and faculty feel physically safe, and their emotional feelings should be factored in to his short-term communication and actions...

I'm not sure if you're trolling me or not, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt just in case. I'm all for gender equality, not requiring people or expecting people to conform to gender norms/roles, etc... But women tend to be smaller and less physically strong than men. These are just...

An racist individual or individuals made a public display of their racism that specifically mentioned minority students by name. The university did not know who did it, how many people were involved, or whether anything else was in the works. Now, I don't know exactly what the graffiti said, so...

Have I called for his resignation? Certainly not since his response to the 19 demands. I do defend the protesters right to call for it, although I think there's no way they win that argument if they're calling for it over the three partially met demands. If they're calling for it over his...

And regarding the stuff we don't know yet... Graffiti incidents: Apparently at least some of them involve specific names. That's extremely unlikely to be a hoax or a false flag, and extremely likely to be a student (the person had access to a dorm, which I assume isn't any easier than when I...

Well, we know the facts about how the school administration has handled the incidents. We know the facts about how these students say they feel on campus as a result of the incidents, and about how they say they feel on campus in general. That's enough to form opinions, as many of the facts...

Probably not as long as it took some people to read it. (Under 30 mins while multi-tasking in true millennial fashion - TV, texting, Twitter, Tinder, Bumble, making dinner, eating.) I could only read so many pages of horrible takes before I had to respond to all of it. It's a strength and a...

Lots of bad takes here. Let's start here: the chancellor is a professional at/near the top of his field, making around $1,000,000 a year to do his job, with about 20 years in major leadership positions at various major universities. He's got a law degree and clerked for a Supreme Court Justice...

Hopefully they catch the perp AND make the institutional changes necessary to make SU more inclusive for all students and to make sure that everyone, but especially those in marginalized groups, feels safe each and every day on campus. Then and only then do I hope it blows over quickly.

I care about the fact that it's happening, the safety of everyone on campus, how it affects the students, faculty, members of the community and alums who are in marginalized groups and overall, and after all of that how it affects the school. How it impacts SU sports is a secondary concern for...

I have my doubts as to whether that's real or not. You'd have to be pretty stupid to confess that or post that knowing the FBI is involved. Of course, you'd also have to be pretty stupid to be a racist or think racism is funny. Regardless, it's not a joke and never was, and I hope whoever did...

Right now, who cares? This is a concern for next week/month.

Some of you may remember me, some may not. I tend to pop in from time to time during conference play, the tourney and the early offseason. This, obviously, drew me in. I graduated from 'Cuse in '08, and I consider myself very lucky to have been done with my education before mass shootings...

One thing that's always annoyed me is that the athletics department loves to brag about Sportscaster U, and ask the sportscasting alums for big donations, but treats the student media like second rate media in a lot of ways, the most obvious being Boeheim's treatment of student media and some...

Yup, which just goes back to not spending much time on half court offense and/or often not having a true point guard. Sometimes when our team isn't very good offensively the zone is good enough to generate a lot of turnovers and transition opportunities, and we're almost always athletic and able...

You would think we'd be going hard at the one-and-done guys at this point, as it would make the most sense for Boeheim and for our recruiting strategy given that they aren't worried about whether he retires after the next season. And yet...

Sure, but I have to imagine part of the problem is that even when he tries hard to get someone to stay, they're going to be saying, "Why? Every minute I spend practicing/playing the zone is a minute I'm losing out on improving on stuff that's going to help me be an NBA player..." Or, "Why? So I...

By the way, when you have a bunch of starters/contributors returning and every single one of them gets worse, you don't blame the players, you blame the coaches. It's unacceptable. It's a big enough deal that Boeheim should at least re-evaluate his assistants and their strengths and weaknesses...

Yup, exactly... and enough rope to know that one mistake isn't going to be the end of your night. Carey played ~60 minutes in the regular season in-conference. 13 of those games were decided by double figures, and a few were far worse. He plays four minutes against Wake and not at all against...

I also wasn't really mad at all. I'm mad at the season overall and frustrated by everything that transpired over the last 12 months to go from what looked like a great shot at a top 10-15 team and a deep run to this... But coming into tonight I had low expectations for the weekend, and even...

1. Recruiting and Keeping Talent - I'm not just talking about getting the five star guys, but since Ennis we've only recruited two natural point guards (Joseph and Washington), and we were lucky to be able to move Gbinije over to the 1. That's six classes in which we basically haven't managed to...

I disagree, I think it was reasonable to expect: - Darius Bazley to have a huge impact. - Chukwu to have a great chance to develop into a defensive monster anchoring the zone. - Dolezaj to bulk up a bit and become a more consistent contributor. - Brissett to improve on last year's 15 & 9...

Not a big deal obviously, but Gerry played in that game against A&M, he just didn't play well and was limited in minutes. I can't remember if he left early with injury or they were just using him in short bursts. Given the injury, we might have actually done better if he hadn't played. (He had 2...

Syracuse basketball to open 2019-20 season vs. Virginia at Carrier Dome

The loss of depth is pretty critical, especially since JB doesn't develop much depth over the course of the season. If Tyus gets into foul trouble or isn't 100% and can't stay on the floor for 35+ minutes (and who are we kidding, JB is going to want to play him the full 40), we're in a lot of...

The stated penalties are for failing an NCAA drug test. The next section down says: "Each NCAA member school is responsible for determining whether to establish an institutional drug-testing program, at which time the school would be responsible for determining applicable penalties." So...

Depending on the matchup I would seriously consider going small. Battle is the only one who can penetrate off the dribble with any consistency, and Howard and Boeheim are much better spot up shooters. I think we should try to have all three of them on the floor for significant stretches. If...

It seems like a lot of people forget about how much money can be made playing overseas. Battle could bank a million in 10 years playing overseas - a lot of it could be tax free, and given that a lot of his living expenses would be covered, bank truly means bank, not earn. So another year at...

If you have to ask if it's too soon today, yes, it's too soon.

I'd be shocked if he made any long-term decisions this week. It may be true that he's "considering" retirement, but he's 74 - it's possible he was going to consider that anyway. Also, I'd be shocked if the announcement that he's not coaching this weekend isn't made in advance if that's the...

I'm sure there will be some students at some point in the future who make offensive signs or chant offensive stuff. I would expect them to be removed, and for the school to apologize... But I definitely expect stupid college kids to think it's something to make a joke about. And I also would...

Yeah there were guys open, they dropped a few passes that could have gone for big plays too.

The message kicking that FG sends to the team is, "I don't think you guys are good enough to get the TD here OR good enough to put together another drive to go for points." Playing not to get shutout there sends the message that you fully expect them to fail to score points if you give them a...

Yes it is. Scoring 7 >>>>>> kicking a FG from deep in the red zone. You think these kids are going to feel soooo much better losing 29-3 than 29-0? Go for the TD. There's no value in the FG. Dino wanted it to be slightly less embarrassing and instead he got what he deserved for his decision...

First time in the red zone with ~10:30 left in the game. Geez.

Seems silly to argue over who to blame. ND had the better coach, more talent, better coaching and better execution. They're a top-5 team and we're not really a top-15 team. When we bring our A-game against a top-5 team that does not bring theirs, we can give them a game. Today we didn't bring...

The officiating has been bad, but we have no right to complain about it in terms of the result, and doing so just makes us look foolish. If it was 29-14, then that'd be one thing... We're getting totally stomped, the only thing it would impact is MAYBE making it look a little bit respectable...

This is just embarrassing.

They managed to find a holding call - of course it was in a down and distance that was totally irrelevant.

So DeVito bounces twice on the ground, they call it a fumble so they can review it... We rip it away in bounds and we can go ourselves, huh?

Hate just kicking it away there the way this half has gone. Take a chance.

Fake punt. We need something here.

Huge play, gotta get a conversion, settling down DeVito seems important before this play.

DeVito just taking terrible sacks.

Thanks Pearl... Lifted today before the game and last night as well, trying to stay active to stay positive as far as life stuff goes. Getting outside or active is so key for that. I don't think re-watching an old W will do much for me, but I'll be watching next week hoping for the best finish...

Come on, put one drive together and get into the half at 20-7 with a fighting chance. Give me an interesting second half at least.
