Thought this might be worthy of a new "venting thread"? Noticed that Jesse played last night in West Virginia's 65-81 loss to a good TCU team. I'm not sure how his rehab is coming along after the early-season injury, but I did see that in 19 minutes he collected 4 fouls and scored 6 points with...

Did beat West Virginia in 2021 to get into the Sweet 16... which has definitely and unfortunately been the exception when it comes to SU's recent performances against superior teams...

This sentence is simply meant as a request, and is one of the 4 types of sentences: statement, question, exclamation and "command." Now if only Ozone's requests could be transformed into commands that must be obeyed...

So will this be a case of buying a Chevy and telling the kids that it's just as good as a Lexus? Sigh...

March 13, 1977. I was a high-school senior and had just been accepted to SU, and I have to admit that as a kid who had moved to upstate NY from Indiana, I knew next to nothing about Syracuse... other than that they had a good journalism school. I remember turning on the TV that night - channel...

I always look but rarely acknowledge your extraordinary efforts on this board, Jordville!! Most appreciative of your tireless work...

Noticed that Jackson and Sanogo from UConn, and Pickett and Lundy from Penn State have been invited to the upcoming NBA Combine. Was wondering how the notification process works? Is it just leaked out in drips and drabs, or is an official announcement made? And also, of course, was wondering if...

Apologies if others have already touched on this, but I don't have the wherewithal to wade through 90+ pages to find out. After finally checking out the Rothstein interview with Red (I know; who would've thought I'd find something useful from that site:), I feel much better about the...

I'm sure we will. But the question is what level of transfer will it be? The ongoing sarcasm on this site the past few years has been how SU always seems to wind up with "plan B" or even "plan C" players. Well, if Jesse was plan A and Hunter is perhaps plan A-1, then does that make Moussa plan B...

Thanks for the clarification... missed the nuance!!

The word "lazy" is imo a bit of a lazy choice in this case ... perhaps the hire was more of a "cautious" one?

Verbal Commits had Catholic Central's Darien "Pay Day" Moore picking up an offer from UMass back in January. I think that's sort of a D-1 offer, right?

Was at the game, working on the sidelines as a volunteer. Second time I've seen him; watched him vs. Glens Falls when he had a very strong all-around game. Today, he struggled, especially in the first half. Pay Day was defended by Westhill's point guard, a senior with outstanding lateral...

A 15-year season ticket holder, I actually sold my tickets for today's game, mostly because I was worn down by the events of the past few weeks. Making the 2 1/2-hour drive from Glens Falls in iffy weather just didn't seem worth it, in spite of all the festivities. That being said, rather than...

DEEP SIGH ... And apologies for replying to my own, but it seems especially apropos at this point (and yes, for a moment, I thought there might be a chance)

"AD" in voice-to-text lingo:)

Why is the name "Quade Green" echoing in my head?

Will never forget that back in February of 1980 - the first game after our 58-game Manley streak had been snapped by Georgetown - that as a Daily Orange assistant sports editor, I was sent to Jamaica, Long Island, for the game with St. John's that weekend. And Louis hit the game-winner at the...

Don't post often, but in this case, I suppose I've been negatively inspired to respond... Back in the day, one of the wonderful things about college basketball was that it wasn't like professional sports. It didn't matter if you rooted for a relatively smallish private college in a small-market...

Good thing Cuse don't need no stinkin' bullet trains or subway cars ... we'll just walk, thank you

Appreciate the info ... that makes me feel somewhat better but also a whole lot worse if we're not adding anyone, not even a Jimmy Boeheim 2.0:(

My wife just asked me this question: Is JB not interested in acquiring a Cole replacement from the "Portal" because he's still hoping that maybe Jimmy could get another year of eligibility? I had forgotten about what JB said back in January as reported by Mike McAllister on his SI site...

The moniker is about not letting my hopes get too high when it comes to Cuse hoop ... a lot of almost-but not-quite moments since 2003. (I know: a half-empty guy:)

Just to perhaps put a lid on this 6-page, 130-post bit of pure speculation: Sat next to JG3 and his dad this past weekend at the NY State Basketball tournament in Glens Falls during the Class B semifinal game involving Section II's Ichabod Crane (the eventual state champ), and both of them were...

That's what Lyndon Johnson said after he asked Westmoreland what to do next. And that didn't work out too well. Babers is the head coach ...

How shocking:rolleyes:

On Christmas Day:)

As JB is wont to say, teams get lots of assists when they make baskets. Hence, today's single-digit figure ...

The way we roll, any time we make 2 3-pointers and win, I'll take that. But of course it does show how one-dimensional our offense seems to be at this point. Who's gonna go to the hole for us in games like this? I thought Griffin was our best bet for that type of thing, but now???

Interesting and refreshing that the ACC went outside the region to bring in someone from Northwestern. Maybe the idea at least partly is to try to create a more powerful entity that can compete more with the Big10's and the SEC's of the college world?

Might it help that this was Chaz Owens' school?

Obviously, the Cuse football season has been a downer, but I've taken some solace from the fact that as a Youtube subscriber, I haven't been subjected to watching too many games (without jumping through hoops, etc.) since I don't get the YES Network. But with basketball approaching and a bit...

Reintroduce the Greg Robinson quick kick by the QB on 3rd and long? Or maybe even 2nd and long? (Apologies. I promised myself I wouldn't get bitter/snarky this early in the season and look what I've done!)

Do the dominoes seem to be falling fast and furious?

Posted this a while back when we first boarded this crazy train: So do we online dreamers once more leap into the abyss, again filled with hopes (but definitely not expectations) for that elusive big man who is actually "big?" I confess to leaping, but now I don't have to ask for parachute...

So do we online dreamers once more leap into the abyss, again filled with hopes (but definitely not expectations) for that elusive big man who is actually "big?"

Let's hope this story is non-fiction!!

The Dome just lost a ray of sunshine. An institution, who could make you smile even after a tough loss. Cuse games will not be the same.

My memory is different. I thought I remember reading somewhere Coach K saying something to the effect that Syracuse was getting the type of player that could definitely help them out?

Admittedly it's only "Wikipedia," but under the Gerry McNamara entry in "College Career," it reads, "McNamara had offers from schools such as Duke and Florida, but chose to attend Syracuse." A footnote states: Zillgitt, Jeff (April 6, 2003). "McNamara no tank, but he is helping drive Syracuse"...

Now these are the types of posts I can enjoy - 8 words apiece after all the recent madness on this thread:)

I'll play - even though 51 years hasn't totally numbed the pain: I'm 10 and a Baltimore fan. And you can guess the rest: Colts lose to Jets in Super Bowl. Orioles lose to Mets in World Series You'd think after that, I'd definitely realize that losing is a part of the equation. But apparently...

Maybe they're players who just want to feel appreciated?

I'm gonna go ahead and record it, too - even though it violates one of my cardinal rules (with thanks to CS&N): "Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now." (However, my daughter just texted me that it's OK to violate this rule since in a way there is no "now.")

Wonderful memories:):):):) Which is just about all we got now, right? :(:(:(

OK, since the door has been opened, "Should have gone to 'Cuse"

Evansville over Kentucky?

The disappointment on here is palpable. I get that. But to not give it a shot? I don't buy that. It's sort of like McMurphy says in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest": "Well, I tried, didn't I. Goddamnit, at least I tried ..." I think we had to at least hope that maybe this time we could do it ...
