Thinking about making the trip to DC to bring the kids to their first Cuse game in December. Seems like I can get tickets directly through the GTown ticket website at a better cost than going the Stubhub / SeatGeek route. Does anyone have any other / better suggestions as to how to secure some...

Wow, you may be onto something here. Just before halftime of today's game, my also 3-month old son projectile spit up all over his non-SU pajamas (my wife dressed him this morning) forcing me to change him at halftime. I obviously put his SU outfit on, and we all saw what happened in the 2nd half!

Not justifying the actions of the Staff on any other scenario. They are unrelated. If the coaches did other kids wrong, it doesn't change that Quade did them wrong, and doesn't justify it. We as fans have every right to be upset.

Strong trolling, dude. If Quade feels this is the decision he "had" to make, then more power to him. But to try and justify his actions by referencing BJ Johnson and Kaleb Joseph is incredibly weak. They are completely unrelated, and Quade showed an incredible lack of integrity.

Just Monday night on Raw, he gave the following speech - very eerie, and sad: "No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life what makes the blood pulse through the body of...

Really good episode of Raw tonight. I missed every second of the game. Oops.

BTW - what was our record vs. UConn in 2003? Which season did you enjoy more, that one, or 2009?

Funny. So you wouldn't trade every H2H win against them for their soon to be 3 additional Titles? Riiiiiight.

UConn

The ones that counted?

Kentucky's aren't?

It's not really even debatable. Every single one of us would trade our last 5 seasons for 4 mediocre ones and 1 Title. Championships are without question the way programs are measured, and rightfully so.

Pretty much seems that way. We aren't on UConn's level, that's for sure.

Come on. This is something fans say when their team doesn't have many titles. No program in America who has multiple titles would trade places with us. Zero.

Well, I think you've sort of identified the real "problem" right there. People want another title, plain and simple. The regular season success that we've had over the past 5 years has only intensified that desire, because many people feel like with the teams we've had since 2010, we "should"...

Just a thought - but maybe Ennis was a bigger contributor to our stagnant offense than people realize?

I'm not even a generally optimistic guy, but the doom and gloom here regarding Ennis is insane. At this time last year, there wasn't ONE person on this board who thought Ennis was going to be so good this year. We expected growing pains and no one ever thought he'd be a 1 and done or even 2 and...

In that case, hopefully by next March Kaleb Joseph will be really good!

No offense, but didn't you make a similar post a few weeks ago that you were done with college basketball? I understand your frustration, but when you love it, you love it. Take the summer off. Come back in November with a renewed excitement!

I do get the sense that JB is bothered by this one. I could be totally wrong. But it just seems like in this instance, he may not agree with the decision.

Personally, I'm glad he made this a quick decision so we can stop wondering. I hope Grant doesn't take too long either, for selfish reasons.

Definitely is the most disappointing of the group you mentioned. That said, let's not jump to conclusions. I think there's still a decent chance Grant sticks around, and if we're all being perfectly honest, I think if we could've signed up for keeping one of the two, we'd have taken it. Let's...

I understand some people love it. And while I agree with your take on the college game, I just can't get past the horrible NBA atmosphere - the games just FEEL unimportant to me.

Lame

HA - as a fellow hater of the NBA (though to be fair, I do try to watch some playoffs), I must agree, what is so appealing about playing in the NBA? These types of quotes should read "fulfill my lifelong dream - to be a millionaire". No shame in that! I'm half kidding, but as purely a...

I know it's easy to say now, but in the game against Dayton (and at other various points towards the end of the season), I thought he had the look of someone who was focusing a bit more on impressing scouts - the last two shots he took in the Dayton game told me that. I could be wrong, just...

That said, Fair didn't announce his decision to return until April 24th last year. So he took the FULL time before making his decision. I could see Grant taking this long to decide. I think with Ennis we will know sooner because his draft status is more certain it seems.

I think the reality of the situation is that most (if not all) college players will announce their intention by April 15th. I doubt you'd see many instances of someone waiting until that final 2-week window to make their decision.

I think I understand the point of the question, but in reality, for every coach in America, it is more likely that they will NOT win another Championship than it is that they will. That includes Coach K, Calipari, Pitino, Izzo, and JB. It's very hard to win. It doesn't bother me much that JB...

I pretty much agree. I don't really get it, but the guys who are paid to cover the NBA Draft do, so I tend to trust what they say.

He's also about 6' 160 lbs

ESPN draft profiles list Paige as a 2nd Rounder and Ennis as a Top 10 pick. In other words, no.

I'm somewhere in the middle of this debate. I do think Cooney's struggles to hit much of anything after the Notre Dame game were the # 1 reason Syracuse struggled so badly on offense. But, it was certainly not the only reason. There were many issues with the offense as a whole. For one, CJ...

For anyone who may be "in the know", any idea how long we may be waiting for Grant and Ennis to make their decisions on next year? Could this be something that's settled in the next week or two, or will it drag out for a month or whenever the deadline to declare is? Hope they take their time...

Well I just wanted one.

Well I just wanted one.

Wasn't really addressing you. But I think expressing disappointment doesn't equal not having perspective. Of course there are more important things. Does that mean I shouldn't care?

I love the holier than thou crowd that talks down to people who post disappointment on a freaking sports message board.

Guess we just have different goals for the team. I'd like to see titles, especially when we've performed do well in the regular season. Guess that makes me a bad fan.

Perspective = never being disappointed about how a season ends?

Oh. I guess I'm wrong then, the end results haven't been frustrating.

Not really hard to understand. With the teams we've had in the last 5 years, the expectation is better March results than we've gotten. Frustrating that it hasn't happened.

Looks like a lot of them there. Yuk.

The 5 that have won a Championship

Who are the clowns in the SU shirts behind UConn bench cheering them on and doing the sweep the floor thing with the UConn bench every time they score?

It's great to have reached the level of being a consistent Top 10-15 program. Bit to really reach the next level, it needs to result in more Final Fours and hopefully Championships than it has so far. We've also had some very bad luck. But it's still disappointing.

But 4 of our last 5 teams have failed to meet expectations come tournament time...

Yea watching these games tonight is torture. Can't even believe I'm doing it. I get angry every time someone hits a 3.

2010-14 have been pretty brutal. Sounds silly to say, considering the amount of wins we've had, but when you realize that we've had one Final Four sandwiched between injuries /suspensions derailing two teams that had serious championship potential and then this year going from 25-0 to 2 and out...
