    It pains me to say this, but Danny Hurley is the best coach in CBB right now

    Hurley is an old school heel HC which college hoops desperately needs. He has personality, moxy, says occasional stupid things, is a great sound bite, and his players love him. We need more Hurleys not less.

    GMAC to Siena

    Good for Gerry. Syracuse was going to be a dead end for him and any aspirations if he stuck around any longer. He was at the fork in the road professionally if he ever wants to find himself back at SU as a HC. I'm very curious how Red fills this position now?

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    If the south wants to break away to fund their economies down south they should Do that. Thats a cultural divide I don’t get at all. Maybe those schools should just get rid of The loss leader educational part of These football operations

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    the bigger irony is they'll end up in BIG or SEC and won't get the same payout as the other teams. It'll ultimately be a moot point for probably 20 years in terms of break even (maybe more). mouth breathers will mouth breath remember down south

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    Oh it's a fantastic school. I brought it up in the context of brands and if it's a better national brand than say a Syracuse for viewership eyeballs. I think it is TBH and if it's ultimately a beauty contest for the 60 best tv shows in america for these top 2 leagues, then perhaps Syracuse comes...

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    I think legally you are 100% right. I think there's merit to the damages that are here and if they are disproportionately penal. That's a real question for a court. I think the existential issue is the bigger issue, not the legal one. What other schools are looking to leave b/c it's better for...

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    I think the SU question is if they decide on elegance and figuring out the top 60 schools or so we have a real shot and Rutgers/Vanderbilt/Northwestern? are going to hit the streets. Our brand may matter if it's true musical chairs. If the BIG/SEC decides to retain all members thick and thin...

    Well the today stinks, the tomorrow isn't looking better. I'm not sure why anyone is so against trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. What exactly is compelling about the status quo even? The ACC has frankly stunk for Syracuse other than a fat check we get to underwrite our programs...

    feel like if 2-3 others leave it's all moot anyway and feel like this is orchestrated now. The "teams who feel like they are worth more elsewhere" vs the "teams that are worth more being in the league as is" is the fight

    Very curious what ND thinks about it and their next move. To me they are a bigger domino than stupid Clemson. Where ND goes I'd prefer Syracuse to be close by. If ND remains independent no matter what, maybe the Big East is in play again for SU for hoops and olympic sports and the football joins...

    if the door opens, teams are leaving not staying no matter what the breakdown is. I think the future is two leagues with massive per team fees. I may be wrong on this but the ACC is gonna die shortly. These things tend to happen slowly and then suddenly.

    it's over, just a question of what the surrender looks like for Syracuse/BC/Pitt and the other remnants. I wish Wildhack would take a Gavitt like approach and think down the road. We're not going to be in a big time conference. What makes us tick into the 2030s as a viable operation. IMO, it's...

    Syracuse MBB finally releases a statement

    How would we field a team in the tourney ? Whats the advantage of portaling immediately? The whole thing is nonsense. How do these kids transfer if they are done effectively. My son tried to transfer btw two good universities and they wanted a pound of blood in terms of grades and good standing.

    it's a program on the decline. i hate saying it but the fact remains that the end of Boeheim and the new coach have alot of work to do to get it back on track. Whether we become UConn or we become Georgetown will be a theme moving forward. I think we're gonna be closer to a UConn type program...

    people operate these programs like they are playing tecmo bowl. players should want to play. coaches should want to coach. recruits should want to come to a school to play and to be coached. The rest of the stuff on the margins is ruining the sport. I think some people enjoy the offseason...

    Then this isn’t a serious sport for consumers to invest time in long term. It’s a foolish endeavor if 3 or 4 guys are left yearly. Complete clownish. Roller ball is more engaging

    Syracuse MBB finally releases a statement

    If they are going to have games go play them. Is Syracuse the only school w portal issues. We would be playing peer schools in the NIT. I don’t get it at all. Arrogance and if a lot of our guys are leaving, delusion. They weren’t that good here either tbh w playing time

    Syracuse MBB finally releases a statement

    I like to watch Syracuse play basketball. Sorry if that’s a crazy hot take. I don’t care if it’s dead or not soon. I’m a consumer of the product and like more games. I even watched the bowl until it was a blowout. I fail to see why guys wouldn’t play even if they leave. Are guys not going to...

    How can we survive if we lose

    If we go to two final fours again in my life again (I’m 48) I’ll be very happy. I’ll be happy if we go to sweet 16s again. The team this year wasn’t that good. I’m sorry if you are leaning on this team. Very empty 20 win season.

    Syracuse MBB finally releases a statement

    It’s very unprofessional how they handled this. As an alum I want to see them play. I don’t care about the hot stove of these guys opting for free agency. Play the walk ons if you have to. The system is broken if we can’t even do this. We played a bowl game w a skeleton crew.

    How can we survive if we lose

    We don’t have a boeheim in his coaching prime to make the adjustments Red may prove to be a good coach. I think people forget we had a great coach for like 95% of his tenure. This is gonna be choppy for the rest of the decade. Part of it is existential and the sport itself. Part of it is red...

    Looking at the Schedule

    I'm not close to the program but like hearing that. and if that is true, then those with a balance sheet should be putting on a nice position in Syracuse over win total. I am on record as saying this feels like year 1 of Pasqualoni. i'm just going on gut but the stars align that we'll be very...

    Marrone to BC

    This is crazy revisionist history. We were terrible in a weak big east too. Marrone turned things around and we were in every single game he coached. We were once again a team that was competing. To throw the record at him is insane because of the lift he had in year 1 alone. I don't think...

    Looking at the Schedule

    Can Fran and staff coach in game? To me that’s a known unknown. No one here knows this and that’s why the win spread is so low We’ve had such atrocious in game management that I would hope and assume better than Dino but Vegas isn’t buying it yet

    Marrone to BC

    that's what you want us positioned for???? eh no thanks. stay where you are. I thought you guys were referring to the SEC/BIG level. Everything else will be kid's table. If that's the case i'd rather be at a kids table east of the mississippi.

    Marrone to BC

    i disagree. i think there's no scenario where a life raft is sent out for Syracuse and not Pitt and/or BC. We're going to end up somewhere together at the end of this nonsense. My position is we want all 3 schools doing fantastic. Whether it means we lose a few to Pitt and/or BC on any given...

    Marrone to BC

    Only team in the country with 3 former NFL HC on staff. Chudz is there as well. O'Brien is going to be a better version of Be a Dude. I think net/net good for Syracuse. We want the northeast to show some strength
