    Adirondack High Peaks

    Just stumbled across this thread. An almost 2X 46R here. Finished in 2002, have approx 180 under my belt, but still need to get back to Seward/Donaldson/Emmons a second time... Anyways, haven't seen anyone recommend Phelps as a good starter high peak. Easy walk in, you get to check out the...

    UPDATE: GAME POSTPONED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 7 PM [ESPN2]

    I remember a game maybe 10-12 years ago. Midweek vs St John's. Weather was absolutely horrible I went up straight from work downtown couldn't have been more that 4K in there they let everyone sit where they wanted. Before tonight's game getting actually moved to another date I don't remember...

    OT: New Restaurants/Bars in Cuse

    Darwin's is great to grab lunch to go. Best fried haddock sandwich in town on Fridays they typically sell out early though. Maxwell's in Hanover Square. In the old Elbow Room spot. Completely renovated the space has several tv's a bunch of beers on tap and a new wood fired pizza oven...

    Houston and Booking through SU questions...

    NCAA does have a deal. it's all a cash grab. just like their deal with Prime Sports for tickets - they give blocks of decent seats to Prime Sports, Primt Sports sells them at a premium, NCAA gets their cut...

    Houston and Booking through SU questions...

    I've been to a half dozen final fours including ours in 1996 and 2003. Few notes off the top of my head that will hopefully help: PACKAGES - I went with the SU packages in 2003 and 1996 for two main reasons - transportation and tickets. In 2003 it was impossible to book a commercial flight...

    OT - UConn Women in CNY

    I can't stand UConn as much as the next guy, and am not into women's hoops, but just watched the local sports and was puzzled... UConn played a 'homecoming' game in Hamilton tonight against Colgate for Breanna Stewart. It was the lead story on the sports and the arena was sold out with over...

    McCullough to the NBA

    Just another dumb syracuse.com article trolling for clicks...there is no substance to it at all..nothing different than a tweet..would they have even printed this in the newspaper back when those existed? What college basketball player isn't thinking about the NBA??

    OT - Help Wanted

    I work at a ticketing technology company here in Syracuse. Our office is in the Armory Square area, however we keep a low profile around town (you'd be surprised at the people who show up at the door...) Fun place to work especially if you are into technology, sports, entertainment, etc. We...

    I hate Christian Laettner

    I went to the '91 and '92 Final Fours. First one Duke was the darling everyone was pulling for the upset over UNLV. The next year 95%of the Metrodome was going for the Fab 5. Michigan section was chanting 'Laettner Swallows' the entire night. Funny how things changed in the year after they...

    Just like last year

    As did I. Not everything that hits the secondary market comes from people who bought tix. Big events = big $$. Be it SU-Duke, NCAA Tourney games, or a Taylor Swift concert...venues do anything and everything to maximize revenue and the distribution of tickets is not always fair and equitable...

    Just like last year

    What about Dr Gross for letting Meghan Kelley's Duke fan husband sit with him front row baseline? Does that lump him in with thsee 'fans' who should have shame brought down on them. Also, you guys realize it's not just the SU fans selling the good seats for a marked up price, right? SUAD...

    OT: Briana Stewart's Dad

    Used to play ball with him in the weekday 6 AM games at the downtown Y. Definitely a muscle shirt and shorts type of guy. No brainer for her to go to UConn. While staying home and possibly taking Syracuse on some runs in the tourney would have been a nice story, she is going to be able to...

    Can anyone tell me what just happened in St. Louis a few minutes ago?

    What period of time is considered official 'warm up' time? Because I've seen guys from Cuse throwing them down and guys from all teams yesterday in Buffalo were dunking at some point before their games.

    Disappointed With Syracuse's Box Office

    This one is actually on the NCAA, not Syracuse. They are the ones who give the teams the tickets for each session. With that being said, their box office is a complete cluster F overall and they should have never promised same seats when they knew it was completely out of their control. What...

    Calhoun interested in BC job?

    Calhoun sat two rows in front of me last night in Buffalo. He looked like he was having trouble moving around, had to sit on the aisle, just generally looked uncomfortable. Can't imagine his body could take the grind of an ACC season. Donyell Marshall was right next to him he looked even...

    Id like to ask a real basketball question

    I run the same set for my 4th grade grammar school team. We call it 'wide'. Kids line up wide apart on foul line extended - a pair on the elbows and the other two around the three point line. Then I yell one of the kids names and he cuts to the basket (i.e. 'wide for Joey'). Defenders are...

    1985, SU plays @ New Hartford High School

    They used to play intra-squad games all over the place back then. I remember one in Auburn HS as well. Great way to build a fan base get folks to buy tickets during the season to come to the dome. Program obviously doesn't need to do that anymore. While on the topic of the good ole days, I...

    I have NO problem with JBs tamtrum...,

    I loved it and have no problem at all with it. Definitely blew any chance we had at winning the game but this is college basketball not football one game isn't going to make or beak anything given where we're at. First game ever down at Duke we fight back from 6 down and get a chance to take...

    The Day Orange Onions Was Onions

    I played hoops at WG and my senior year Charlie and three other sophs played up on varsity. We were an average .500 team in hoops but on our roster half the kids got D-1 lax scholies and ended up starting at Syracuse (2), North Carolina, Virginia and Holy Cross.

    Ticket sales for NC State are soaring...

    I had a couple extra tickets so I invited a guy who works for me from Cleveland he is driving up in the AM with his wife. Talked to him today he said all his friends are extremely jealous. His wife teaches at Oberlin College and the students there couldn't believe she was going to the dome...

    The Dome vs Cameron

    SU played down at NC St back in Feb 2001 a group of us flew down to Raleigh on a Thursday night. Drove to Cameron on Friday to check the place out was able to just walk right into the arena. Really neat. Saw a couple players running on treadmills and later on walked into an elevator just as...

    What did Boeheim say

    I have no clue what he said to him, but the list of potential reasons is endless: 1. Announcing 'Block by Christmas' even though the ball was still in play (I would have yelled at him for that) 2. Uttering the phrase 'A deuce for the Cuse' out loud 3. Tipping off the opponent that Broyld is...

    Why the official timeout with 4:22 to go?

    Because they never did the under 8:00 official time out until then. K had called a TO around 7:30 and Boeheim called one on the next possession after Duke came out in zone. Then a long stretch with no whistles until 4:22 when after a made Duke basket the ball rolled out to midcourt so refs...

    Another arena annexed by the Orange Empire...

    Boeheim just acknowledged it in his postgame press conference. Said something along the lines of "we expected it in Miami as everyone from Syracuse lives down here. These people tonight I have no idea where they came from."

    Carolina is 8-1 in the Dome

    Damn Granville Waiters nailed us in Hartford in '83 otherwise we would have come home to play UNC in the dome in the Sweet 16. Get out of the dome and we could have ended Valvano and NC St's run.
