I don’t agree with your argument. I want JB out yesterday..but this was very well articulated. I have an appreciation for your point of view.

Annnnnnnd…who’s fault is it that it “wasn’t going to be great”? Come on. Stop with the Coach Boeheim has had a good or ok season. Maybe he has by Northwestern‘s standards.

Day2…maybe you are right. Apologies. I was responding to Millhouse and his snark about the “tantrums” people were throwing early in the season. Those tantrums were warranted and nothing has changed that. I’m happy we won too. on another note, I was digging around my closet today because my...

My expectation set for this year were what they are every year for Syracuse Basketball…a good and competitive team. The string of historic horrid losses are unacceptable. I’ve been a Syracuse basketball fan for a long time and this current iteration is poor. (Even though the record seems better)...

Yes, I have. When the program warranted it. I have had season tickets in Section 123 for 20 years not to mention many, many years of donations to the athletic department that my company matched. Forgive me that I am tired of this dreck and the rationalizations. Like I said, I was happy to see...

But the real question is Boeheim guilty as charged?

Resorting to an ad hominem attack seems to be the MO of the old school Boeheim suck ass brigade. Truly sad… just like this program, he has managed to destroy the last 10 years.

He original statement is that 12-6 does not suck…but if your wins are against almost all weak sisters and you losses are against all weak sisters… I would argue 12-6 does kind suck. Each to their own though

What makes me laugh are posts like this when we have a triple digit RPI coming into this game and this home win (over a bad ND team) will barely move the needle. Our “signature” win right now is over #62 in the RPI Va Tech. I enjoyed watching the freshman lead us back tonight as much as anyone...

James Naismith just did the triple Lindy in his grave that was soooo bad. Two bad basketball teams doing their best three stooges imitations.

Sweet Jesus, Mary and Joseph…give me strength.

Hello all, I am bored on the beach waiting for the days football to start so I wanted to provided some on the scene commentary from the Bahamas: 1. Julie Boeheim looks INCREDIBLE for a woman of her age!!! 2. These tournaments are really cool to attend if you have kids. The players are...

When is the narrative about Sidebe being the difference maker for this team going to change?? There is a segment of posters who act like he is the son of Hakeem Olajuwon & Kevin McHale. I root hard for the kid but he has barely been healthy since he has been on the hill! Even if he never had any...

Meh...you make some good points but JB hasn’t acted on obvious data points in years. I have a fair amount of experience with SU...from my student days to a season ticket holder to a donor and the one thing they respond to is a hit to their wallet. Clearly, that will doesn’t exist yet amongst...

Thanks, obviously I wasn’t Being literal. I think everyone’s level of sensitivity is elevated these days. Especially, many special people who have been ver close to the program for a longtime. certainly, didn’t mean to be inappropriate, my apologies CTO.

i agree that is most likely the response, unless ”shareholders” meant what they said and hit the university where it hurts most...in the wallet.

The miyagi-do comment was a real explanation point! Lol

That’s probably the right answer.

I believe that this board is probably a cross section of the most die hard and loyal SU fans. I think that even many of the most loyal “JAB can do nothing wrong folks” are seeing the hard truth at this point... that the program has been floundering for years and things aren’t getting better. I...

I respect that position... don’t agree but respect it. The program went to a final four before JAB and it will after. He has done an incredible amount but the University and the program are bigger than mulligans for the old man.

Thanks, I typically just lurk Unless I am really moved. I guess there is a quota for posts you have to make to get credit for a salient point. The irony is that I am as invested monetarily and emotionally as the vast majority of people on the board but because I have produced 5,000 posts of...

It’s pathetic that a board op has to come after someone for a semi articulate post. They are the same people who help keep this program in the wildernes.

That was my one post last year...right?? Isn’t that what you said? I post when it’s warranted. It was warranted...I know you don’t like that.

I will announce when I pull the plug on my season tickets and ample donation to the University. I live by the adage “if you have nothing nice to say...say nothing at all”. Hasn’t been much nice to say in the last 10 years. However, that doesn’t invalidate what I said all powerful board op.

I don’t know how any of the Boehiem apologists can watch that atrocity of a game and not realize that there is a dire need for a coaching change. I know the majority of board ops here support the old man...but try to see by past glories and your decades and decades of unwavering support and...

Best I can do is grab you a dome dog gratis at the Duke game!

Forgive me Otto and fellow Orange faithful for I have sinned against you. I asked for the retirement of James Arthur Boeheim, I lost faith. I believed that the game had passed him by. His judgement had been clouded by the demons in Washington, Storrs and Durham! I was wrong!! I will recite the...

Lydon has been a ghost on defense to boot

That Domedog I had at halftime is not sitting well...

I think we need 7 to get on the bubble before the ACC Tournament Next Four are FSU(H), NCST (A), Virginia (H), Clemson (A)-We have to take 3 of these games. One major upset at home and beat the two teams below us in the standings on the road. Unfortunately, we haven't beaten anyone on the road...

I didn't see that on TV but great to hear. If he gets stronger and can increase his lateral quickness a hair then he could be a force. (Although, how many times have we wished for that improvement in a player and it never happened!)

Excellent point. He actually seemed strangely patient with Howard last night and like I said he looked like Gillon was going to send him into orbit.

Since I got a bad delete after the ND game...I thought I would try to point out some small things that were encouraging and see if anyone agrees. (Board ops...I had two likes already on that deleted post, can I buy those back?) Did anyone see Battle yelling at Gillon with about 3:40 to play to...

for those of us who live in the NYC area, NJ and Long Island the game is on WLNY-55.

Chatham, NJ

Thanks for the info guys it is much appreciated. However, personally I would question why it still needs to be in the Dome by not worth getting my panties in a twist.

Thanks...I guess the Dome is the worlds biggest longhouse.

I don't post often but you guys will have to indulge me after we made the trek to actually use our season tickets today. Beating Pittsburgh has put me in such a happy place! I knew the "force was with me" when I left Morris County, Nj this morning and there was significant snow south...and...

St. Louis might not be part of Orange Nation, and considered a home game, in the same fashion as NYC, D.C, Boston, the Bahamas, the entire east coast and parts of Canada and Hawaii, air craft carriers in San Diego but the crowd looked pretty good on TV. Thoughts by anyone actually in...

Guys and Gals... I have to admit that I am coming to you for help. I have been a Syracuse fan since 79-80. I grew up an hour south of Syracuse...graduated in 93 and have had season tickets in section 123 for 12 years despite living in NYC and Nj during that time period. The torrent of losses...

I agree that it doesn't always appear like he is always in a good position and maybe he isn't "instinctual" but the important thing is the he seems to DESIRE the ball after it comes off the rim. Any of number of times recently you see his hand and arm in the middle of a tangle of opponents limbs...

I don't know what "perspicacious" means...but I'm gonna look and up and use it now!!

Thanks TM, I appreciate the kind words and reception!

Me too Shandeezy! I went to Marshall's out on Erie Blvd and came out with the same kind of suit!

Hi guys, I have been a loooooong time lurker but wanted to share some thoughts on the game last night. Just to let you know I have some Cuse "Street Cred"...I'm a Syracuse Grad, grew up in Upstate NY and have season tickets in Section 123, although since I live in NJ, I can only make it to about...

Well...if that type of this doesn't exist then I would book rooms and air now. So it might be premature to talk about the final four but not premature to book a room in New Orleans.

A realize this is completely premature...but if we somehow advance to the final four are there packages available through travel agents in the Syracuse area that provide air, room and tickets? Or even just a room and air? One other wrinkle is that I live in NJ and would prefer to fly out of a...
