I was in the SUMB from 2008-2012, and I would say back then it was 80-20% SU vs non-SU students, including ESF, Lemoyne, and OCC.

There have been better players, and more consistent shooters, but for my mind, James Southerland had one of the best looking shots of any recent SU player.

FWIW, my small rural school in the middle of nowhere, Ohio (Ohio Northern University, 3k student enrollment) is in the middle of our second week, and have had 3 positive, unrelated cases out of 729 tests. They have been pretty aggressive with reducing building capacity, and creating/following...

As a band nerd from Ohio, Le Regiment (The song the tOSU band plays when doing script Ohio) was always one of my favorites.

What I don't understand, is why would Schiano want to go back in the first place? He's a coordinator for one of the best programs in football, and is paid like it. He will get a better job offer than rutgers, once another big program decides to hold its nose and ignore the penn st stuff. He...

It really sucks to lose such a winnable game, but if anything I am more encouraged by this game, not less. This is the type of game where you see the difference between a top 5 program and a program that is trying to rebuild. Clemson has 4 and 5 star recruits all across their roster. When it...

I will never forget him, Raftery, and Bilas calling the 6 OT game.

For me it has to do with the interactions that we had with their fans back when we shared a conference. I was at SU from 2008-2012, which had both the nadir of syracuse football in the last Greg Robinson year, and the prime Schiano years at Rutgers. During that time I was also much more active...

No love for Wes Johnson at forward?

Coaching makes bad talent look mediocre, and good talent look championship worthy. Still, give HCSS the same talent that they have at tOSU or Oregon, and Syracuse would be at minimum 9-3.

I know nothing about betting, but this seems to be what happened to me. Casual fan sees CMU beating Purdue, and Syracuse (who most casual fans still associate with being Grob bad) barely beating a DII school. Then, they see a line of -9, and they think easy money. Hell, I bet if you went to...

People are acting like he left us for a d2 school or something. An NFL job is an NFL job, and outside of about 5 or so gigs in cfb, that is a better job. I was sad and disappointed when he left, but I understand why he did.

The thing I love about the ND dunk is that the defender didn't bite on the fake, so Warrick just said F it and dunked over him anyways.

Man, it might be time to go troll the WVU forums with pictures of Marvin Graves again.

When I go down to Texas to visit my family every year, I make sure to drink copius amounts of Shiner. On topic, my go to for crappy light beer is Labatt. Its relatively cheap, and I consider it a (small) step above bud light. Don't get me wrong, I have no issue pounding down crappy beer. But...

Preface: The only time I've ever watched soccer was the USMNT. I think that one of the biggest factors regarding soccers growth now and in the future that hasn't been mentioned much in this thread is media accessibility. If you look back even 10 years ago, I imagine it would have been very...

From Nunes/Brent Axe's article on the rankings: I think that Boeheim should be ahead of all the guys who haven't won a title, and it isn't even due to title vs. no. I just think he's a better coach then all four. Boeheim has accomplished more than pretty much all 4 combined, and it isn't...

Man, didn't realize how many Buckeye haters there were on this forum... Mine: 1. Steelers 2. Red Sox/Yankees (tie) 3. Michigan 4. Art Modell 5. Uconn/Georgetown (tie)

What I can't stand about the WVU fanbase is that they have a superiority complex, despite being decidedly mediocre the past several years. Before we played them in the Pinstripe bowl a couple of years ago, if you went by their message boards, you would think that it was Alabama playing Akron or...

He mentioned on air right after the game that he now owed said SU womens softball coach dinner at what sounded like a fancy restaurant.

I had heard the story/seen the clip of the punch, but the 30 for 30 was the first time I had actually seen the press conference. JB likes to hide behind his snark, but in that clip, you could both see and hear the true anger that he felt about that game.

I knew it was a thing because some of the local cleveland radio guys were in the movie, and so were chatting about it a couple of months ago.

Sitrus still does these, by the way. Also, I always get a kick when I can hear "You Still Suck... BALLS" after opposing made free throws on the TV broadcasts. I think it started with a few members of otto's army while I was at SU (08-12), and I always chuckle when I hear it, mainly because I...

For sheer entertainment value? Definitely Paul Harris.

This. Shirt World way overcharged for their greek stuff, and then were frequently late getting it made. I ended up getting my stuff from McKies'by the fairgrounds.

Hell, the dookies are STILL complaining about the non-call on the dunk. No team has ever lost a game fair and square(including Syracuse =P), the refs are always to blame.

I think in a game vs. Uconn, he got borderline tackled on a layup, possibly by Stanley Robinson. He hit the hoop/ground really hard, and was slow to get up.

Loved me some KO. He wasn't afraid to mix it up with the thugs of the time, like Dajuan Blair, Greg Monroe, and Thabeet.

Talib Zanna is a master at the moving screen. I sat courtside for the Ohio State game in the elite 8, and that was the worst reffed game I've ever seen.

If you watch closely, you can see the classy pitt fans giving Ennis the finger too.

Of course they do. We as SU fans aren't living and dying on every moment of when those other schools are number 1. Go to any message board after a close game with #1, and you'll find these same exact threads with other teams.

I mean, I get it. The whole point of sports commentary is to find the story within the game. Obviously, #1 losing on the road is going to be the narrative, with the commentators trying to pump up the underdog. If you were to ask fans with no rooting interest in the game, they probably didn't...

Remember when AO was a game time decision for like 4 straight games?

Look, the dunk call is usually a 50-50 call, I could easily see it being called either way. But half the internet is acting like it was a sure fire, can't-miss call, which I think is stupid. If you watch it live, it was really hard to tell, and even with people slowing it down significantly...

Look, the dunk no-call was questionable. But I don't see it as a "clear, obvious foul", especially when you watch it in real time. If you have to watch it in super slow-mo and use a one-frame screen shot to try and justify it, you're trying too hard.

He was calling a duke game. No need to go on a tangent to mention duke when they're playing in front of him.

Granted, I wasn't alive when it happened, but no love for pearl's buzzer beater against bc?

Recruiting is just as much "who is recruiting this player?" as it is how good they actually are. Kansas/Kentucky are recruting this guy? Must be an All-American. Syracuse has nothing to complain about recruiting wise, but it doesn't quite pull the national eye like UNC, Duke, etc.

Here's my problem with the whole clutch/choke discussion. No one remembers the random games where players don't hit the last second shot. GMac was a great player, and both the NC game and BET tourney moments were awsome. But for every "clutch" moment he had, you could probably go through his...

Didn't have an issue in Ohio.

I'm from Cleveland, which was colloquially known as "The Mistake by the Lake" in the 80's and 90's.

I think that both defend the post differently, and JB touched on that some in one of his pressers (think it was after BC.) Rak is a better positional defender and at guarding straight up without fouling. Keita is very good at recovering to affect shots on the baseline after coming up to the...

It's almost like people who have different personalities and opinions post on this board from time to time.

First off, Otto is 3-4 people, not just one. They switch off about every half, because the suit is very hot. Secondly, Otto is a full volunteer position. The ottos have to go through auditions and weeks of training, and get absolutely nothing from the school, not even the gear that the...

That team was also actually pretty mediocre-poor defensively. Flynn and Devo were both short and prone to not playing defense. Harris was a very good rebounder, but frequently got caught out of position on the wing. Our best defensive forward (as opposed to center) was probably actually Kristof.

FYI, the band has water waiting in cups/igloos ready for us after pregame/half time. Also, we typically got $35/day when traveling. Still, appreciate the kind words/actions towards the SUMB. Also, Goode Company is delicious. I have a bunch of family in Houston, and we go there every time we...

I mean, it's a nice stat, but the only reason FSU, Clemson, and GT didn't have one is because they had 2-3 guys with 90ish yards.

My birthday is in early september as well, and I actually liked the date (for college). Get to celebrate with all your friends, the weather was still usually decent, and no one has any real work to do yet, so the party was always hoppin.

They actually bought a new Otto costume about 1-2 years ago.

If Crabbe gets hot, Cal can get right back into this.
