    SU in and out transfers

    I remember a guy from Canada who came in with John Karpis named Roger Rollocks. Not sure if he ever took the court here but I remember his picture in an SU basketball yearbook. Not sure if he transferred out or just left Same for Devin Brennan-McBride and Dashawn Wright - did they transfer or...

    Class of 2020 C Frank Anselem (GA) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

    I'm wondering if this was part of the recruiting pitch from Red and/or JB given that there are 3 centers listed on the roster

    Jalen Carey - Any Word?

    I think Jalen would have been an asset here if he'd stayed. I think he was one of those guys who couldn't adapt to the short leash - make a mistake and get sat down. I'm not saying he deserved it, but if he could have been allowed to play enough minutes to get comfortable we would have seen a...

    Cast of characters who make up the SU sports experience

    Not an SU figure but definitely a Syracuse figure. Jim Durkin, who sold programs at Chiefs games. "Get your lucky signature programs! You're next!" You could hear him from the far ends of the parking lot. Prior to that I think he was the beer guy but that was when I was in high school...

    Class of 2020 C Quincy Ballard (NY) Transferring from FSU to Wichita St

    I wish the young man well in in FSU career except when he plays SU. At the end of the day he's an 18 year old kid who has to do what he percieves is best for him. I think we are fine at the 5 for next year

    Do you remember Louie and Bouie VS. Bernie and Ernie?

    I remember the game well. Several guys fouled out and Marty Byrnes had a big dunk toward the end that was key and a bit unusual because he didn't put them down very often. I was a sophomore in high school that year. Rewatching it, the thing that stands out to me is how, apart from Ernie...

    As a player at any level what was the highlight of your playing career

    1. Triple double in a high school basketball game. 30 points, 16 rebounds and 10 blocked shots 2. Went for 46 points in a mens league basketball game once

    The Downside - North Florida

    So is it the step up in competition? Loss of agility and explosiveness from the knee issues? Loss of confidence? Limitations of the system he plays in? A little of all of these? At this stage I would be happy with 50% of the player on that highlight tape

    OT: Best pickup games vs CBB/Pro athlete stories...

    I played against Don Foote, father of Jeff Foote who played at Cornell about 12 years ago. Don played at Niagara and was 6'11, probably about 40 at the time and hadn't been playing much based on his apparent conditioning. It was a tournament in a small church gym and his team pressed full...

    How to handle the Uber negative fan sitting next to you

    I had season tickets for football 2 seasons ago and had a guy 4 rows behind me who whined the whole game every game he was there. He was actually yelling we should have never let Scott Shafer go and that was before he had any beer so you get the idea. The whole section despised him but there...

    Thoughts on Refs last night ?

    I thought the refs were okay but I did notice a lot more travelling than is usual, mainly the Bulls. Their point had once possession where he caught the ball, rearranged his feet (pretty normal) then took 2 steps backwards. It was one of those "did he really just do that?" things. Had zero...

    Not sure if this was mentioned (since I got to this thread late and do not feel like working through 49 pages) but a person I was talking to said its between Duke and Michigan. Duke because its Duke and Michigan because the dad played for Beilien at LeMoyne back in the day. The guy I was...

    Disappointments over the years

    And if I remember correctly, a big part of the reason he went to Yukon was because he disliked Jalen Rose, who was considered a lock for SU at the time. Marshall was pretty much the beginning of the the rise of the Huskies program. So this one was bad for us on 3 levels

    Braedon Bayer a Grad Transfer

    I wish him well and I think he will have a great grad season given his work ethic and positive attitude. To me Braedon is what college sports is all about. It will be interesting to see where he ends up and I will be following him throughout next season

    Entire Country Cheering for Syracuse?

    I have to say I have been enjoying the hate. I enjoyed the negative comments when we got in the tournament and it has gotten progressively better with the 3 wins. People hate us and there is nothing they can do about it. Suck it haters! I am guessing this is how Patriot fans feel all the time

    first dome basketball game with kids

    My first game with the kids at the Dome was a football game against Tennessee with Tee Martin at quarterback. It was hot and a full house and the guy behind me kept spilling beer on me. I didn't really react because it was very crowded and it's a football game, not the opera so that stuff...

    Before anyone gets too down on the current fan base please remember a staple of any SU broadcast back in the day was a camera shot of the Dome Knitter. I can't say knitting brings up images of rabid fan support. Bottom line - it's always been this way. My apologies in advance if she was/is...

    JB called out Moyer in the PC

    I watched the PC prior to seeing this thread and didn't think what JB said was a big deal. I thought it was an honest answer to a question and if I was a member of the Moyer family I wouldn't be offended. I also didn't read through all of the conversation but I gotta say I was impressed it got...

    Howard Washington Injury...

    It sucks for Howard Washington and I hope it's not a major injury. He was just starting to get some minutes and did some good things when he had the opportunity. I think Braedon Bayer is not your average intramural all star type walkon. He was the guy who got Geno's minutes in the...
