    There were about 100 reasons SU...

    Liberty is closed like all other schools. Campus was opened for a small number of foreign students with no other place to go. That said I'm no supporter of Jerry.

    Uh, Louisville...

    Al Maguire turned down the NCAA when they moved his team out of the region. This was in the 32 team era and the NIT was a better tournament.

    SU-Wisconsin series cancelled

    For years this board mocked Rutgers scheduling for success. Now it is proposed as salvation for the program. Fans and recruits can for the most part read. You can fool most people, you know the rest

    Like father like son?

    Hetero or homo there is no difference. The point I tried to make was that the fathers crimes were in a class by there own, not that the son did not commit a crime.

    Like father like son?

    The sons offence did not involve males but was inappropriate internet contact with under age females.

    Early Indications Are the New Viking Stadium

    Not so sure. Onondaga County pop has been within 3 or 4k for 50 years. Some of the other metro areas are declining. We are older and poorer, but the pop is more than large enough for the domes size.

    LSU

    Do you really think that fans are so easy to fool. SU gets no credit for whipping sw state. Real wins will attract real fans. You really think recruits are impressed that we played in the Bush Bean bowl on 12/24. Maybe they would be more interested in seeing how they stack up against the best...

    This team (and board) got smacked back to reality...

    Uconn is favored over usf. Outside view of SU is maybe more realistic than those of us with orange glasses. Hope they are wrong.

    Just got interviewed by Nate Mink

    The city has gone to hell but the population of onondaga county is within a couple of hundred of what it was in 1970. I agree we are poorer and older.

    How to (start) to improve attendance

    All of the former season ticket holders that i know claim the usual excuses. But all of them are still serious fans who now go out to bars to watch the games. Momentum works both on the upside and downside. Chicken/eggs but near sell outs make the dome the place to be creating buzz and interest...

    Michael Benny the 1st to tweet about it. Story at 5

    Can't comment on the others but do know about Milwaukee. The Teardown was a short spur designed to connect with a freeway that was not built. Today more than a decade later the land is basically undevelped. The main north/south and east/ west freeways meet in downtown milwaukee. The milwaukee...

    Honest question outside of McDonald will HCSS fire any coaches this offseason?

    No improvement without a QB. They do not have a D-1 QB on campus. Will the Fla mystery man prove competent? The OR flash. SU is in a QB drought extending so far back it's hard to remenber the last good quarterback. Improvement relying on freshman is not a winning prop. We need a miracle.

    NCAA investigation: Internship hours, ties between YMCA and Syracuse athletes part of inquiry

    I think we are being a little to optimistic. What the Post revealed seems to be small potatoes. However you don't proceed to a hearing unless the investigators have determinee a 'serious' violation. Hope it is a tempest in a teapot but i feel there is some substance to the charges.

    This Is Why Miner Was Wrong

    Recently I read about a study where a multi purpose domed statium was proposed for an NFL franchise and the NBA and NHL teams. When it went to drafting the final plans it was determined that a multi purpose design was not feasable. Lets face it the Dome is lesser BB facility than one designed...

    yes or no. does Hop leave?

    If you were to hire MH would you not put a very large buy out in his contract. Why would someone hire for the short term. If he goes he's gone for good.

    ACC close to finalizing 2-yr agreement to play tourney

    Easy fix. Have the conference require the purchase. MSG is not that big.

    ACC close to finalizing 2-yr agreement to play tourney

    Without the orange goggles why would MSG want to end the big east relationship. The tournement will be 100% sold out, by requiring each school to buy x tickets. If actual bodies in seats are down presumably concession income would be down. Trade a decade of sell outs for a one in four or five...

    Football Season Tix Question...

    With my season ticket renewal there was a notice that you could transfer your tickets to another individual. I suggest you persue it further with someone higher up the food chain. I've done it in the past and it was only family members. Seems thaye have had a change which has not been communicated.

    Have I said enough how much I hate the ND games.

    NY/NJ who cares . Given the attendance the first two games I cant believe this is a $$ positive for Su unless the NJ sports Auth is taking a bath. Run the numbers and each game would have been more profitable in Syr. We are paying for the Doc's desire to play in a bigger pond. the ND game will...

    For those who say it will never happen here

    Having been in finance for longer than I would like to admit, based on the attendance at Met and the fact that they give nothing away I'm sure the last two events did not result in a better bottom line than if they were in the Dome. They did however serve the good Doctors ego.
