    RIP - Joan Rivers

    A polarizing figure in the entertainment industry, for sure. An ever present figure throughout my life. My fondest memories were of her doing stand up on various TV shows (60s, 70s & 80s). Without a doubt, those sets were her at her best for me. Aside from all the cosmetic surgery...

    OT: Request for advice...

    The first 90 days is all about the basics, food, clean diaper & sleep. For the baby, NOT for you. After that, it's all about being there in every way possible. Provide guidance, without being a tyrant. Your kid may not play football, but he may end up being the best clarinet player in the...

    Thank you, Coach Schwartzwalder!

    Me thinks the notion of Airborne vs. enemy tanks may have provided him with a dose of reality. Not good odds for Airborne. They weren't there to commit suicide. When the timing was right they kicked a$$. That is the spirit of the citation, in my opinion.

    Lebron James! The poster child for...

    hydration. I bet the CEO of Powerade couldn't find a big enough rock to crawl under during that 4th quarter? Good Lord!

    Ranking the 5 Best Scorers in Orange History

    As far as who would you go to if you needed a bucket on a possession: I would have to rate Melo at the top. JDub is right there, followed by Jim Lee, with Moten & the Kid bringing up the rear.

    OT: Which U.S. states have the most pride?

    This will be my third summer in Fort Worth on business. It's true, people from Texas aren't bashful. They will tell you unending tales of greatness. Bigger, better, etc. All in all, though, they're gracious hosts.

    One and done, blessing or curse

    The ideal situation, of course, is a balance between "program guys" & NBA players. Could it be the luck of the draw determined SU would end up with 2 NBA guards the past 2 seasons?

    Good News!

    "Boys are sons until they take a wife. Girls are daughters for life." Don't have a son, so I can't really speak to the first sentence, but after 24 years & a grandson I can say the second sentence is MOST definitely true! Congrats to your family, semper fi.

    I blame all of this on the shorts the team wore for the BC game…

    I saw those digs & my initial reaction was to tell my wife I didn't want to watch the game! What can you really say that isn't negative? The players returning from this team should quarantine those things & opt to lose them in a spring bonfire.

    Latest on Hopkins situation is...

    It appears JB's in good physical health. He seems to be as sharp as ever. Why should he have to retire on anybody's terms, but his own? If he's still successful, what the heck?

    Before the last TO they rolled a slo mo of the coaches shaking

    hands. I've replayed it more than once & is it just me, or is Pitino pretty much telling Cal: "Up your's"?

    Biggest plus I took away...

    from Thursday was that SU looks visibly healthier, considering available players 2-3 weeks ago vs now. The tough amoeba zone with timely shooting can be devastating in this tournament. LGO!

    Yes, he's our first. Our daughter is an only child. We're happy, proud & grateful.

    Boils down to 2 basic...

    issues with the available personnel: 1. It's a new team. From November up to now, the dynamics are completely different. For SU, it's discovery time. 2. Cooney & Fair are in epic shooting slumps simultaneously. Obviously, to win more games, they need to get fixed, like real fast!

    Cause of the February swoon

    There's no denying we've suffered from an accumulation of untimely injuries. It's quite obvious the shrinking rotation is under stress due to adaptation. Fact is, with Grant not able to score, we need to hit shots & recently they haven't been going in. This team was paint oriented. That is...

    Same almost every year except we are wining

    Even in 2003 SU lost 3 new year conference games. There have been a few seasons when they haven't fully swooned, but I cannot recall so many close games ending up in the W column. This year's squad has some tough refuse to lose types, playing with a chip on their collective shoulder. If they...

    Winner

    ...winner, chicken dinner. People forget this program is deeply rooted in last second victory's. Get over it!

    Tonight is a win-win...

    If good SU shows up for both halves, it should be great game. If good SU shows up & then inexplicably forgets how to play basketball for several minutes, they'll get their asses handed to them.

    So im out at my sons cyo game tonight

    LOL, of Polish or Irish descent, it doesn't really matter which. The bar is always open.

    The Cooney Issue...

    I was very encouraged by the number of quality looks he had yesterday. Previously, I'd questioned whether or not the looks could be had against good teams. I agree with the inside out approach. It's easy to identify guys who see themselves as complete players first, shooting just being part...

    Charlotte Observer quote

    The orange storm administered a classic a$$ whipping. Compelling evidence is found in the fact that UNC did not foul down the stretch. Roy wanted to be on that plane as quickly as possible.

    OT: 26 years since Pistol Pete's death

    Having never tried the drill, I can't speak from personal experience, but just the notion of trying to dribble out the window of moving car sounds incredibly difficult, especially as the speed of the car increases. I would expect that a player who does this regularly would end up being able to...

    Three road games with 9pm Starts.

    SU has been well known out West for years, already.
  26. suhoops4life

    Three road games with 9pm Starts.

    Yeah, but with such a storyed program, you'd think it wouldn't matter which conference is more connected to ESPN. The reality of life on tobacco road (sigh).

    LOL: Marijuana Overdoses Kill 37 in Colorado On First Day of Legalization

    LOL! I almost fell off my chair laughing so hard. It's my understanding, there's never been a documented case of THC poisoning anywhere anytime. Good ole Jim, stirring it up. LOL!

    Conspiracy theory of the day, overheard at the boozer before the game

    If true, me thinks the response should go something like this: "Uh..not only no, but ^&*+ NO! Kind of like the TV deal. Totally outrageous crapola, but hey what can you do?

    For everyone starting their workout routines today

    Agreed! And if you're over 50, especially, remember to split your cardio & resistance training 50/50. It's more important than ever, cause the days of being Mr. Strong are less important now. It's more about goin long.

    Direc TV in Syracuse, what station are next 2 games on??????

    Directv used to be the place to get most SU games. This is outrageous.

    What's everybody's holiday drink tonight?

    Cazadores Blanco w/Dr. Swami & Bone Daddy's low calorie margarita mix on the rocks (left coast style).

    Christmas really impressed me today...

    Rak is killing it on the glass. He's averaging 1 rebound every 5 minutes.

    While we nailed a good one today this is going on elsewhere

    Knowing this punk will be brought to justice makes me feel so much safer. My God man, how could he have gone and done such a thing?

    I Met John Wallace Tuesday Night

    The thing I loved about J Dub was how he was able to completely free himself mentally from the previous travesty against Arkansas & when it was HIS team, pack them on his back & ensure there were few bad nights. He was tough. One of THE all-time Orange players, for sure.

    If you could take two back to back Syracuse seasons, and make one team of 12 whos your lineup?

    Coleman's rebounding alone is like, HELLO! Been following this thing for 40+. Spot on!

    We Are # 5 !!!

    I think, since the beginning of time itself, there's been a specific square block area up there, where almost anything goes. This #5 for 2013 just affirms what most Townies have known about for EVERY YEAR of their entire lives.

    Jerami Grant per Draft Express on Under 19 Team

    Looked like a big time player from day one. Great attitude. Will ratchet things up at least another full notch.

    ESPN/ College BB best fanbase article

    Been thru there. Heat & humidity during the very long Arkansas summer typically a few hash marks > repressive. Flying hoard will carry you away.

    Was at the Melo Center today and saw 1 player working the practice court

    He needs to be prepared to avg 8 points & 4 assists against all teams to get > 15mpg next season. Also, he needs JB to feel good when he has the ball. If not, shooting confidence won't matter.

    MCW officially declares

    Thank you for the memories & good luck in the NBA!

    James, Mike and CJ are going to come out relaxed...

    Shocker coach told his team before the last game that they didn't have to play their best game. Not even a great game. All you have to do is play well. LGO!
  46. suhoops4life

    What are you drinking?

    A pint of Portland IPA, followed by a pint of Blue Moon.

    Ville-WSU

    If they're out of sync with the ball, SU will get defensive plays to help get things figured out. JBs done pretty well with FF mental preparation over the years.

    Mojo Thread

    I was about 15 at the time, very cool game because it was broadcast live. Not common place in '75 with 4 channels to choose from. Soon after the final buzzer sounded, I remember the camera panning to Mitch Kupchak (Laker Executive). My first thoughts were, you don't look so good Mitch. You...
