Slow board...

[SUintheVille]

Gosh, it sure has been slow on this board thru the summer. Typical though. Now that practice is only a month away, assuming it will pick up very soon. Looking forward to some good threads and respectful banter again. Guess everyone's hanging on the football board for now.

Bump.
For the banter.
Speaking of which, where's edowd26 when you need him?

Not sure where he is, but I'm fairly certain that wherever it is, there's copious amounts of peanut butter, domestic animals, and CuseTroop involved.

It's because Syracuse is a football school.

I started a perfectly good thread to make fun of Georgetown. What more could you want?

Slow ???? - I would say somewhere between comatose & flat out dead.

Ah, for the days of M v Z.

What about my contribution about twins? Hey, I tried.

 

[CuseTroop]

My days of spending 8 hours a day on this board have come to an end... at least for a few months... Gotta earn that pay check I suppose.

I'm sure Tristy would liven things up around here if given the chance.

On second thought...

That's a very good point. A slow offseason is not a bad thing considering some things in the past.

First time I've ever wished for a "dislike" button for one of your posts. Still waiting for your damn tailgate/golf recap. Slacker.

I posted a quick one at the bottom of your post on Tuesday. With being swamped all day, working late, and trying to get my house set up for winter, I havent even had time to drink... Ok, I might have squeezed in some time for a couple jack and cokes last night.

Hey, have they posted team photos yet?

I haven't heard or seen anything regarding the photos. My guess is Cherie doesn't want to give anyone but herself access to a picture with us two strapping studs in it.

I don't like peanut butter... The other two are hardly tolerable.

In reality I've been having fun with a golf ball, a rubber hose and your sister... And I gotta say... Does that talent run in the family???








Jk cool out.

I think some of it is could be we all have around the same expectations, unlike past years.

Rak will be like Rak last year Cooney like Cooney last year will either extend their offensive game? Most think maybe alittle but alot is a longshot. Chris McCullough is already one and done. Joseph will be some kind of a leader and a iso go to guy maybe team captain(great personallity) . Ron Patterson will have to fight hard to get any minutes. We may have slumps early but will put it together late. I think 90% of the board agrees with those.

I think the biggest questions are
how many minutes for dajuan.
BJ and Roberson were so raw last year we have talked about their range.
How will Obokoh do, especially if Dajuan isn't ready?
Was Gbinije like a freshmen Cooney, most think he won't get to much better. Stiff iffy if hes better at guard or forward or it depends on circumstance.

I think this team could be linked to a team like 10-11 rick senior year, but will have more ready players for depth and still some seniority in cooney, rak, gbinije, dajuan.

The one thing that will be certain about this years team is uncertainty and fluid expectations until the season unfolds enough to get a feel for who can do what and who plays well with who. I think that fact will make for a very exciting year and I feel a lot of people will be surprised by this team as we head toward the end of the season. There is a lot of talent and I'm certain that JB will, with time, get this group to coalesce into a formidable team. I also like the fact that we will be flying under the radar a little bit, early on which will help to alleviate unreasonable expectations for this team.

I'm expecting a really enjoyable upcoming season which will unfold with many surprising contributions from players as they as individuals and as a team find their identity. It will be interesting to see which players really step and take advantage of the opportunity to carve out a valuable role for the team.

syracuse will always be a basketball school on consistancy alone.

Last summer we had the Canada games and had the chat room open. That filled in some of the time.

Too often we start hot and slump late, as if its our destiny.

Not a bad breakdown but forget Joseph being captain. You didn't give Roberson near enough credit for what he will do this year.

Except when it means getting that mystery recruit to verbally commit.
