Well we are two games closer to 1000 without a solid starting point to dictate the celebration date.  On the other hand we seem to be getting close to an organized celebration for the 1000th win (forget the "opponent losses" since we are ignoring the NCAA) with the comments and support from the County Executive.

I agree with Beadle & Joey - we need to resolve the number of real wins.  The best tie breaker for this difference would be after which game would JB consider he has won 1000 games.  Realizing this is something he will most likely never say publicly, I would guess he considers he starts the season with 985 wins.  The nine game suspension completely locked him out of any contact with the team for those 9 games therefore neither the wins or losses during the suspension should go against his record.  It was like Syracuse had two coaches last year with JB at 19-9 and Hopkins at 4-5 for a season record of 23-14.

With both Mike Waters & the County Executive recognizing 985 as the number to start the 2016-2017 season, I vote we all agree and plan to "party on" early next year.
