Message: [QUOTE="BonaCuse, post: 228452, member: 1058"] First of all, I am sorry to hear about your friend. Hospice is truly such a wonderful thing and such a sad thing at the same time. The service they provide is so beneficial to both the family and the patient, but just the term "hospice" carries such a negative connotation because the end is in sight. While I am not an alum, I do consider myself a diehard fan. There have been many, many losses where I havent slept after, or was just in a horribly pissy mood the next day (or days). All of that changed in 2009, when my Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We used the 2009 season as a time to watch the games together and enjoy their the start of their magical run. SU games were away to get away from everything at least for a few hours. My Dad passed at the end of 2009. When SU lost to Butler, sure I was mad. But I slept well that night. I've learned the past couple of years that I have enough crappy things going on in life (like we all do. I am no different) to lose sleep over losses that I cannot control. Instead I like to think that sports is away to put real life situations on hold for a couple of hours. That being said, you are entitled to your opinion. And people that come onto a Syracuse message board are entitled to theirs. I find your post to be incredibly condescending.

"[/COLOR][/I][/B][COLOR=#000000][B][I]No one here has been a bigger SU basketball fan than I have .... or for LONGER than I have.[/I][/B]"[/COLOR] I know that there is a group of people on this message board that hang on your every word for any insight they can get, but sometimes you need to take a step back and realize what you are writing. I get it. You're rich and popular. The rich and popular shouldn't be reminding the lowly how rich and popular they are. The fact of the matter is that the SU Basketball Program has been an absolute joke this year. Between the child sex abuse scandal, Fab Take I, Drug Testing Scandal, followed by Fab Take II SU can't get out of the headlines. If people want to come to a message board to vent, I don't really see the problem with that. Throwing around the "my friend has cancer card" really doesn't seem to help the matter. [/QUOTE]
