    The last 13 NCAA Champs (14 seasons)

    They are. And we are not even in the same galaxy. Not even close.

    Unlimited Free Agency Proposed…

    This is the logical conclusion of pretending the players are students and not employees.

    Lets all root for UConn

    I would only root for UConn against the 1936 German National Team. That's it.

    Maliq Brown in the portal

    Our last coach addressed individual forum posters by name, so you can't really fault him for asking.

    Not being at MSG just adds insult to injury

    If so, he wasn't wrong.
  6. CuseCPT

    Hopefully many of you will take at least a 24 hour self imposed vacation.

    At least we can comfort from the fact that we're in the ACC, unlike UConn, who faded into obscurity. Oh wait...

    2024 Seating Changes

    I dislike benches and am a Karen when it comes to seating. Benches promote people trying to sneak "just one more" in. No I won't just sit over here where there's more room, get the F out of my seat.

    ND post game

    I have never seen officials tolerate so much from a coach and not call a technical foul. He was being restrained by his players at half court and still pointing and screaming.

    Red or Players, which is it

    The best results are from testing one variable at a time. That said I've seen enough to conclude that its definitely the players, it remains to be seen if it is also Red.

    Smoked on Tobacco Road

    As near as I can tell, there's only one person making that argument. Kids want to play for prestigious, winning teams. If you were a 15-16 year old high school recruit I don't think what you're seen of Syracuse since you were old enough to really understand basketball would be very appealing.

    Smoked on Tobacco Road

    Either way the program was going to decline. Wanting a less tarnished brand seems like better starting point when you are trying to right a sinking ship, but maybe that's just me. I know, know, money, money, money football, only move, I get it. That doesn't mean I have to enjoy being...

    Smoked on Tobacco Road

    You're insane if you think the Big East was a deep as the ACC over the time period from the switch through today. We would have consistently finished higher in the regular season and likely would've done better in the BET. Based off of, well, we really couldn't have done any worse than we...

    Smoked on Tobacco Road

    It's not one or the other, though. It's both. Our decline would've been better hidden in the Big East.

    Next year

    Bobby Lazar maybe? Also, I'd like to clarify my comment yesterday about part of me wanting Brown to transfer because he deserves better. He's my favorite player on the team, by far. Since he's shown up he's just worked hard, not complained, and produced despite baffling coaching decisions...

    Next year

    The staff seems like they are losing control of the team. That does not instill confidence.

    This should be a Technical EVERY SINGLE TIME….

    Do other fanbases go as crazy about coaches on the court as ours? Genuinely curious. Through the years I've noticed it enrages people both on here and in the Dome.

    NC State Postgame Thoughts

    The Hyatt Place on Bond Street. I was usually pretty tired and/or had other work to do in the evenings so I stayed close to the hotel, but had excellent meals at Burger Bach, Bulpan, and BJ's Brewhouse. I love Charlottesville.

    NC State Postgame Thoughts

    Not related to the game but I was in Charlottesville VA for work this past week and the NC State team stayed in my hotel for their game at UVA. Nothing but nice things to say about them, very polite young men.

    Dave Bing Ring of Honor

    It says a lot about him that he used most of his time to introduce and recognize all of his teammates.

    Thanks Red

    This is the most fun I've had watching Cuse hoops in a few years.

    Cuse fan and dolphin fan

    Since I am stuck with loser teams, I think I'm going to focus on finding joy when other teams and players lose. I will be happy if KC loses, no matter who it is to.

    UNC Postmortem

    Yeah, sadly that is the case. The program has atrophied from perennial powerhouse to perennial bubble team, to lower-mid table. I like Red, the clock is ticking or we will fade into perennial basement dweller.

    Cuse fan and dolphin fan

    This is why i never felt bad about being a Man Utd, and then later a Chelsea fan. Between the Orange, Dolphins and Mets, I have enough sports where I pay my dues.

    I'm in a show hole, need suggestions

    I used to LOVE that show. I made it one episode into this season. It's just generic sci-fi to me now. The retro alt-history angle was great, and I find myself caring less and less about the people that are left.

    Fire Dino

    "I know I need to punish him but I also don't want to get fired and I need him." is probably the reasoning behind that suspension method.

    Grasso taking a leave of absence from Bryant

    People like him are so narcissistic they think that stuff like that describes them and that the "little people" just aren't on their level and don't understand them. Zero self-awareness.

    Beckham Documentary Series

    I thought it was insanely well done. I expected it to focus more on the fashion and tabloid stuff for some reason, but it really focused on the football. That mid 90s to early 2000s Manchester United team was incredible. I felt like a learned a lot about things I was either only barely...

    Grasso taking a leave of absence from Bryant

    Guys like Grasso think they are smarter than the cops and above the law. You can tell from the way he carries himself. He's an entitled narcissist.

    Grasso taking a leave of absence from Bryant

    I doubt they need an employee manual or code of Conduct to fire him. And if they do, shame on whoever drafted his contract.

    Does anyone believe that with a new football coach and the current level of talent, that Syracuse could contend for an ACC title?

    I think to fix our program you need a time machine and go back to November 30, 2002, and fire Coach P and the whole staff after going 4-8. We still had name brand at that point and a recent tradition of success. You invest in a good coach and facilities. Maybe you don't go to the ACC...

    Does anyone believe that with a new football coach and the current level of talent, that Syracuse could contend for an ACC title?

    I think the combo of the changing football landscape at the same time we went in a downward spin we failed to pull out of has really put us out of contention. We've been irrelevant for too long.

    Grasso taking a leave of absence from Bryant

    The problem isn't really the 23-year-old TA chasing undergrads. The problem is the 43-year-old, married dude with the most highly visible job on campus chasing undergrads. Hypothetically, imagine there's stuff floating around on social media of this dude hooking up with 18-21 year olds, and...

    Grasso taking a leave of absence from Bryant

    The fact that you don't see the difference between office romances between employees and faculty-student dynamics in an academic setting is pretty staggering.

    Ashoka

    For my money, Andor was the best Star Wars to date. Full stop. It was astoundingly good. It's shocking the same company made it.

    Pretty underwhelming in my humble opinion. I thought Episode 7 was actually bad due to non-sensical writing choices.

    Purdue Gameday...

    Our WRs remind me of the coaches talking about the walkons in Rudy after tryouts. If it was up to me, I wouldn't keep any of them. Not literally, but ugh.

    Good news: I found my Air Flight '89s (reissue I bought in the 00s). Bad news: the white midsoles disintegrated when I put them on.

    Zaire Franklin: Colts

    Reporter probably went to Villanova. What a great young man Zaire is. We are lucky he chose to play for us. Great credit on the school and program.

    Adam and dave

    He made a deal, through the Owl Collective no less, for an FAU player in under a week. The bs is that he didn't have time here considering how long he's been hanging around the program.

    Or maybe his contributions weren’t exceeding the headaches he caused. JB made comments but everyone ignored them. As they say, talk is cheap.

    Boeheim's Army / TBT 2023

    I lost a lot of interest in TBT after a dude on the team that beat us tried to kick/leg sweep one of our players then talked and TBT did nothing about it. I will not watch it anymore. It's a poorly run sideshow and it's a matter of time before there's a Malice at the Palace type of...
