    NCAA Sweet Sixteen Games for Thurs March 28

    Nope- could have done the same thing here except the coaches here did not use him right.

    NCAA Sweet Sixteen Games for Thurs March 28

    Joe played under control and made a great pass when it counted. We could have used him this year.

    GMAC to Siena

    We all know that a certain guard that plays at Clemson has run out of eligibility after this year. This guard has very close ties to gmac and happens to be from the Albany area. Does gmac give this guard a start in his coaching career after a few years of his playing overseas?

    NCAA 2nd Round Games for Sun March 24

    Nonetheless, Girard is having a really good first half

    NCAA 1st Round Games for Fri March 22

    Joe G just got whacked twice on the same play working thru a screen on defense. Shoulder to the face ,followed by an elbow to the nose

    NIT Bracketology

    Agreed - I think it will be addition by subtraction. Autry had to be fed up with the malcontents. John Wooden would have had a tough time coaching these headcases.

    LeMoyne College exploring move to D1

    A 4 year ban from the ncaa tourney because a school is moving up to division 1 is ridiculous. There is currently some discussion regarding reducing the ban. I expect Lemoyne to be able to play for a bid by 2026.

    ACC Games for Feb 24

    Now watching Kentucky playing Alabama at a breakneck pace in comparison to the Virginia -Nc low scoring slugfest. The acc needs to pick up their game or the SEC will leave them in the dust.

    Hey I have a question

    Your statement is quite a reach. You don’t think that Joe Girard, Trevor Cooney, Craig Forth etc didn’t get criticized about a perceived character or personality flaw on this board? Girard was fat and selfish, Cooney wasn’t that bright and Forth didn’t love the game. I can still remember all...

    Red Season 1 Now a Bust

    Agreed. Not controversial at all. Hopefully we go back to the tourney next year and can end all the speculation.

    Clemson Postgame Thoughts

    Girard missed one open 3. He was 5-6 from the field. Don’t let facts get in the way of your argument.

    Starting Our Walk-Ons - Red's Threat

    Good for Coach Autry. He needs to take total control over this team and send the message that the inmates are not going to run the asylum. I don’t think it’s an empty threat. You sulk, you sit. No effort, no playing time. Set the precedent for future groups of players.

    Is it probable our incoming freshman

    Agreed. I can’t find Donnie Freeman on any draft boards. Hopefully the coaches are honest with these kids. Not everyone is going to the nba( although player handlers and family friends all think so). Reality hits home pretty hard. The coaches need to be blunt with these players. One and...

    Rick Pitino?

    Donovan Clingans mother died from breast cancer in 2018. He is very close to his dad, which was a huge factor in Donovan choosing UConn over Su. From all accounts he is a very nice young man

    2023 college football playoffs

    Money talks. Gotta believe the tv playoff ratings take a big hit without an sec team and you have to think the committee was aware. Florida state was robbed. ESPN/abc lose a lot of money if fsu makes the playoff. Herbstreit is just a shill for ESPN. Good for Booger for speaking the truth.

    Week 14 FBS Games for Dec 1-2

    The Sec should not have a team in the playoffs. Don’t buy the Greg Sankey sec all powerful bs that he is going to spew all night tonight and tomorrow morning in an attempt to change the committees mind. The sec was at best average this year. Results matter and the best out of conference win...

    Tennessee Postgame Luau

    Love him or hate him, Girard made the right move by going to Clemson. He will most likely be playing in the tournament this March. Syracuse, from what I have seen, not so likely.

    Please support them

    So now the bar is just to be competitive and not to win. That’s how far this program has fallen. On the other hand, if Tennessee had played up to its potential, Su would have lost by 25. If Su is going to hire an executive search firm and go nationwide searching for a football coach you would...

    Pitt Gameday...

    It all falls on the head coach. Babers is the one making 4 million dollars of year. He obviously needs to do better teaching his players about situational awareness. You don’t run any sort of play near the sidelines. A draw up the middle for cripes sake.

    Pitt Gameday...

    Again, Dino with his questionable game management skills prior to the half. Why run Schrader wide when Pitt had no time outs left. Dino just cost his team three points. Would have been better off taking a knee.

    Smart move by Tommy. There are so many stories out there about young athletes blowing through their money and not making wise financial decisions. Appears as if he has a good head on his shoulders.

    Dungy just threw Babers under the bus.

    Good for Dungey! He is just stating the obvious. Dino has lost this team and needs to be relieved of his duties. Nice guy , but cant make in game adjustments and is probably one of the worst head coaches I have ever seen in terms of time and game management.

    Embarrassing move by Levine and if Boeheim had anything to do with the removal he should be ashamed.

    My Questions for tonight's Jim Boeheim Show

    JB sounds so tired, depressed and defeated on his talk show. I can’t imagine that he has the energy at his age to be a successful recruiter and or the ability to connect ( texting, instagram etc) with the young teenagers he is attempting to sway to SU.

    Etan interviews Hak and Edelin about the team

    Let’s not go overboard on Richmond, as a lot of people on this board tend to do. His last 2 games he is 3-27 from the field with 11 turnovers. His last 4 games, 7-39 from the field. For the year, he is shooting .383 from the field and 7 for 24 from the three. Kevin Willard commented after...

    One of the hardest parts of this season

    On any type of message board you will get people who thrive on negativity and are never happy. It is tough to ignore them when they post the same things 10x a day and consistently demean specific players and the coach, but it is in your best interest to do so. I can imagine that if they had...

    Syracuse opens 16 pt favorites over Drexel

    Every time a bad beat occurs you can hear some people claiming that the fix is in. Nothing is further from the truth. How much money do you think it would it take to get a d1 coach or referee to throw a game and potentially risk his career? I’d say at least 10 to 20 thousands dollars, most...

    NYS Mobile Gambling finally approved

    Only NY state could screw up mobile sports wagering. A 51 % tax rate is ridiculous and undoubtably the operators awarded licenses will have to pass these costs onto the bettors. Hence you will probably see vigorish prices of -115 for each side instead of -110. In addition, the...

    JG3 podcast interview

    “I will never root against him”- what a joke of a statement - you have consistently derided Joe Girard on this message board. I didn’t happen to see Kadary up and clapping for Joe after any of Joe hit any of his 3’s against West Virginia. Was Kadary sulking too? Was that a “pathetic “ display...

    Here’s an idea

    Some of our “fans”, are sending Girard vulgar and offensive tweets. The Joe Girard “ fat” jokes on this forum got old pretty quick. The same 4 or 5 posters time and again taking shots at Joe. You can be critical without being disparaging. Kadary made the decision to transfer, not Joe. I...

    Joe Girard

    And if you are going to look at it that way, if Joe doesn’t hit 4 threes against West Virginia in the first half, we don’t win that game and advance to play Houston.

    Class of 2022 C Donovan Clingan (CT) Offered

    I really like Clingan’s game and hope he comes to SU. I would think that a fan forum would have absolutely no impact on whether or not he came to SU. I would hope that he would believe in himself and his talent and shrug his shoulders at any naysayers and let it roll right off his back.

    The Annual Bubble Discussion Thread - 2021 Version

    The Buddy leash

    It’s pretty obvious that Buddy has a much longer leash than Kadary, Alan, Joe, Jesse, etc. People watching can obviously see that and it is frustrating for them, so imagine how hard it has to be for the players to accept it. We’ve all seen the other players immediately yanked after a turnover...

    Does playing 100% zone(except when we press) have an effect on recruiting?

    I absolutely think it has had an impact on SU’s recruiting. I can pretty much guarantee that other coaches( see Calipari-Isaiah Jackson) use “ the zone” as part of a negative recruiting pitch against SU. All these big recruits dream of playing in the NBA. Playing the zone full time in addition...

    Postgame Thoughts... BC (game 2)

    There was absolutely no reason for Boeheim to make the snide comment about Kadary. Hopefully, Kadary tunes these negative comments out. I would think that Buddy , can’t be happy , as his dad’s comments only seem to ratchet up the situation. Coach needs to turn off his car radio and focus on...

    Kadary

    Let’s stop with the hyperbole. I agree with most of your message but to go on record as saying Kadary will go top 10 in the 2022 NBA draft is ridiculous. You need to leave your Syracuse bubble. Have you looked at the 2022 NBA draft and seen how deep it is? Do you realize just how good you...

    Floyd Little has cancer

    I wish him the best and hope he makes a full recovery. He always handled himself with class on and off the field. I met him at the Tropicana in Vegas a few years ago and he and his wife could not have been more pleasant and were very gracious with their time. He was very enthusiastic about...
