    OT: This could be fun

    When I arrived, the sun was just setting and it wasn't the place to set off a camera flash. I took my phone and snapped a couple pictures while I pretended to be reading a text message. I got a couple decent pics: grotto, mattress room, pool and one with a bunny. For the most part I was just...

    OT: This could be fun

    In 2007 a friend of mine invited me along to the "Mid-summer nights" party at the playboy mansion. Picture what it was like in your mind.....yup, that is what it was like.

    Report: Syracuse lacrosse player considered boycotting game after coach Lelan Rogers used term 'colo

    Since when did the word "colored" get to be so offensive? I view the word "colored" kinda like when an old person calls the fridge an "icebox". I would laugh at him for sounding like a nerd, not being a racist. Had he dropped an N bomb, then we would have a problem.

    Does anyone else feel this way about a news provider?

    The one guy that does happens to be the editor.

    Statue of quitters?

    http://www.aaregistry.org/historic_events/view/syracuse-8-commitment-change Here is a fairly recent article that describes the events from 1970 and the ceremony in 2006. Notice the phrase that was painted in the bricks. Coincidence? I think not.

    Does anyone else feel this way about a news provider?

    It seems as those "local journalist awards" are nothing more than a good 'ole boy network that hands awards back and forth to each other. Our local paper seems to be leaning towards shock value rather than plain facts. I completely agree that the paper spins things negatively, it was just a few...

    Statue of quitters?

    This has been brought up as a possibility for the front of the facility. As you can see from the thread date, I was told about it back in August. TGD has this as a top choice. Scooch + OrangeinBoston Believe me now?

    Watching from Home vs Bar

    As game time approaches I will change my mind several times. I will have an inner battle between staying at home (keeping the luck going) and going to a friends (having a great time). Once they tip off, I settle in and go into a locked in focus. About 2 hours before the tip I will literally...

    Syracuse Michigan Matchup

    I like our squad against theirs. i am nervous about the "3 foulskateers" being a problem. (kieta, south, x-mas)

    Co-worker is an IU alum

    your response- "if you guys had scored more points than us, you would have won" A stupid statement deserves a stupid response.

    "Is Syracuse in Buffalo?" and other Verizon Center tidbits

    Best line, man to his wife while standing next to an IU guy in those pants- "Honey, if I ever wear a pair of those pants, I may kick my OWN ass"

    TJ Wheatley

    You call me a "clown" then go on to say that they competed in class B and C. "Metro division"... seriously. You made my point for me. Take the 80's for example, CBA with it's class B/C athletics were not on the same level as the class A schools. examples- Genny, Liverpool, CNS, RFA etc. It...

    TJ Wheatley

    Seems that once the base in Rome closed the athletics began to decline. (obvious reasons) I remember back in the 70-80's they dominated in just about everything. Doesn't seem to be the case over the last 20.

    TJ Wheatley

    FM and CBA both seem like schools that were not very good in most sports until the mid 90's as I recall. FM was always good in lax and soccer from my memory. CBA was division Z in everything until recently. football- terrible, lax- terrible, hockey- terrible, baseball-terrible, soccer- decent...

    Look at these uniforms

    When it comes to alternate jersey's, I think the major factor is jersey sales. The hoops team wore the blue jersey like 2 times I think, and you still see people wearing them. Same goes for the platinum. If Cuse breaks out an alternate expect an email from suathletics.:D

    Any DC hotel recommendations

    stayed at the fiarfield in at 500H street? for the G'town game a few weeks ago. Located next to the Irish Channel? decent sports/irish bar. Clean hotel, free breakfast about $175 a night. Short walk to the verizon center.

    zeller and the refs

    My big fear is that the refs become the tale of the tape. Ticky-tac fouls on Southy Zeller drawing fouls if a cuse guy gets in the way of a good camera shot of him. BT an MCW getting mugged with and without the ball If they have good balanced officiating, I think we will have a good game.

    I have a feeling that this last BE home game will unleash an epic presser from JB. ;)

    I am never one for storming the court

    How awesome would it be to storm the court @ Georgetown? Has it ever been done? I think we should try to get this to happen when we win.

    Let the Madness Commence

    UConn fans must be pumped that they are finally leaving the Big East. Could one say that UConn not only got denied from the ACC and Big10 but also didn't get invited to stay in the Big East. "UConn please leave".

    If Hopkins gets a Power Six offer in the offseason, should Jim step aside?

    JB's demeanor both on the court and in the press room, give me the impression that he has seen enough. This will be JB's last year. (in my opinion ;))

    Uconn Fans: Long

    Let me start this by saying that I am sorry to hear about your brother. Here is my view from somewhat of a different perspective than you- I view UConn fan the same as a sox fan, as a Pats fan, as a Bruins fan, as a Celtics fan. I do not consider the Bills as a typical NY team... more of a...

    UConn CYA Later

    fast forward 2 years...... I am flipping through the channels and come across a nice close game between SMU and UConn. As I watch, I recall the battles SU and Uconn had back in the day. I then snap out of it and switch back to the UNC vs. Pitt game... (because the outcome matters) It is...

    Golf or Baseball at SU?

    There are some powerhouses in our region in hockey. RPI, RIT, St Lawrence, Clarkson, Cornell, Colgate, even SUNY Oswego. It is kind of ridiculous that we don't have men's hockey here. We could play half our games outside for crying out loud. (not really)

    UConn Complaining About "Academic Shenanigans"? lol

    I have been to several BE tournaments, sometimes I went with the complete book of tickets and sometimes I scalped as we won. For those of you that go to the tourney, you know what I'm talking about. There is nothing better than buying your tickets for the next round from a UConn fan. I have...

    How do you think we will find out?

    everyone will stand outside of the building. if it is white smoke he plays, if it is black smoke he doesn't. Or is that when they choose a new pope?

    PS E-News Fail

    The PS in general = FAIL. It is astonishing to me that we could have one of the best journalism schools here in Syracuse, yet have a paper that is such low budget. Sad really.

    Dave, you will be missed! Best of Luck. I would love to hear some of the dirty secrets from the PS. This town needs another news outlet very badly.

    Hey Nerlens,

    In a perfect world, Kentucky misses the tourney and the whole team enters the draft. The tourney becomes a showcase for the elite talent in the league. Kentucky players are all moved out of the lottery. That would be fabulous.

    Swarbrick

    Swarbrick crying was laughable. Is he crying because Te'o got caught? the dead girl is fake? He is going to have a lot of work to do? The BoT will can his azz? Or is he just bat s# crazy like Manti? If the president of the college is fired do they send out a smoke signal?

    Cuse new offense

    We have a very stable backfield with an unknown QB and good receivers. McD loves to throw the ball. Should be interesting.

    OT: Manti Te’o’s Dead Girlfriend, The Most Heartbreaking And Inspirational Story Of The College Foot

    If this is true, this is more like a big fat "LIE" and not a "hoax". Let's not try to soft peddle.

    OT: Manti Te’o’s Dead Girlfriend, The Most Heartbreaking And Inspirational Story Of The College Foot

    I think the word "hoax" should be changed to "LIE" if this in fact true.

    Cuse Retiring Carmelo's Number

    Probably the best player to ever come out of Cuse. His name on the facility say he gives back to SU. Still think it's early for this. Should/will get done but not yet IMHO.

    Dead period question

    Any kid can call a coach whenever they want, but a coach can only contact a kid 1 time a month and not during dead periods. (coach tells a current player to contact the kid which he may know from a camp/school etc and tell him to call coach)

    No guarantee this is academics.

    I think that would read "violation of athletic department rules"?
