We have only worn blue 2 times in JB era,
At Kentucky 1988 and at Notre Dame 2007 both times we were underdogs.
That Rudy Hackett jersey I believe is the 1975 Final Four SWC can correct me.

I bet if we wore blue jerseys in a game we were favored all the time we would win.
The women’s basketball team has an excellent blue iersey and they win in them.

What about that orange jersey and blue shorts monstrosity we wore vs. BC at home in 2014 that ended the undefeated season and began the tailspin that ended with 6 losses in the last 9 games including the 2nd round knockout vs. Dayton in the NCAAs. I call it "The Curse of the Blue Shorts!"Google Image Result for https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bg4K1SSCAAAk2Cp?format=jpg&name=large

51 years of them.

You left out Billy Edelin, he saved the season against Oklahoma St. Also in the final against Kansas, he controlled the second half, Melo had a bad back, and Gerry had hurt his hand.

I have to figure it out each year all over again. Here are my notes from last year:

"You have to find the image you want on Google, then right click on it and left click on ‘Save image as’. You will get a dialog box with picture in it. (It can be separately accessed by left clicking ‘File’ ‘Open’, ‘This PC’ and ‘Downloads’.) Type in ‘Avatar’ and then the next number, (which at this point would be ‘Avatar10’. Left click ‘Save’.

Go to Syracuse fan.com and right click on ‘SWC75’ and ‘Avatar’. You will get a small screen that asks you to ‘choose file’. Left click on that and you will get a dialog box with the ‘Download’ screen in it. Left click on the Avatar you want and left click “open”. Then click ‘Okay’ in the small screen. You’ve changed your Avatar."

Just make sure you don’t left click on any of your p o r n stash, I think that might get you banned. It will definitely get you banned, the site won’t even let me type the word, much less show you the money.

That's funny. I hadn't noticed a resemblance before. Top is Moten, bottom is Shumpert.

What's a p o r n stash?

It's a mustache style that male "actors" in adult movies from the '70's commonly had.

It’s where you hide your p o r n from your mom.

Now, a pjorn ‘stache is one of those furry mustaches often popular w male adult movie actors of a certain era.

See: the guy on the R.

Maybe we better ease off on this line. It's sending the thread in the wrong direction. I'm going to delete my post on this subject and I suggest the others do the same.

You could wait until off-season, which might have technically already started, and create threads for best hair and best mustaches/facial hair.

I'm still waiting for results on the Lees vs. the Boeheims.

my money's on the dudes in the tightey whiteys.

I'm still waiting for results on the Lees vs. the Boeheims.

Neither Boeheim could guard either Jimmy or Mike. Mike at 6-3 could out rebound guys 6-8, and 6-9. Joel started the he climbed the invisible ladder, about Mike and Mark Wadach who was 6-2.

The Boeheims would be bigger and have more shooting range, (Jimmy did not jack it up from deep). But I think the lees would be quicker to the ball and harder to guard in the open court.

Vaughn Harper was the first "invisible ladder buy" guy but Joel also used it for the Lee, Wadach and Chris Sease. Roy's Runts was an average of 6-3 across the front line and yet almost beat Maryland, who was 6-10 across the front line in the NIT.

Vaughn was 6-4 or 5. Lee, Wadach might have been generous to say 6-3 and 6-2.
But yes Vaughn was incredible, but Dave Bing could leap on that team too.

I think Bill O'Donnell was still "the Voice of the Orange" in the BIng era. I wonder what phrase he used?
