Are you *really* rooting for a win tomorrow (SMU/ACC Tourney)?

[Dmcnabbrules]

I always root for SU to win.

Red's not winning 5 games in 5 days, and the problem will take care of itself.

We can't lose to someone named "Boopie".

All this time I thought it was "Boobie"

Keatts won 23 games and made it in the NCAAT in year 6 at NC State. Year 7 he went 17-14 and 9-11 in the ACC, before winning the ACCT and going to the Final4 - they finished with 26 wins. He came back for an 8th year, they won 12 games and he got fired.

Keatts was more successful than Red his first 3 years, he had over 20 wins each year. In year 1 they finished 3rd in the ACC and made it to the tournament. Dipped in year 4 and 5 (11 wins and 14 wins). Before 23 wins in year 7.

I think Keatts only came back because they made the F4 run … I imagine Red would ve similar. Keatts had accomplished a ton more than Red had but even that F4 run only bought him 1 year

I believe the final 4 triggered an extra year on his contract. He was done state was moving on.

 

[CuseTroop]

I'm rooting for 3 big wins and a tough loss in the 4th game. We deserve a good three day stretch to remember Red by, on his way out the door.

[JustPherU]

I’m probably betting on SMU but rooting like hell for the Orange to win.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Yes. Always.

 

[Orangezoo]

I’d like to see the young guys play more and be the focal point and maybe they can get a win or more. Give something for whoever the next coach is to evaluate with in a tournament setting once he begins roster building.

Assuming due to injury /health concerns no chance that happens.

 

[rocfan44]

Will never root against ‘Cuse, but we are all ready for the pain and suffering to be over.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I’m rooting for the end of my goofy noREDemption threads

 

[Chip]

How does rooting for them to lose even work?

Are you watching the game, and every time we shoot you hope it misses? And every time they shoot, you hope they make it?

 

[Gotothehole]

Want us to win. But want to get the new coach onboarded asap

 

[OHIORANGES]

If they play hard I’d like them to win.
If they just go through the motions, they deserve to lose

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Want us to win. But want to get the new coach onboarded asap

New coach onboarded.

Old coach waterboarded.

The SMU game is something of an existential crisis for me.

I offer thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

 

[23Zone]

I am torn. Of course I want Cuse to win but at the same time I also want the season to end as soon as possible so we can begin the resurrection

 

[CaliOtto]

Would I be surprised by a loss to SMU? Hell no. Would I love to be surprised by an unbelievable run to win 5 games in a row starting tomorrow? Hell yes.

 

[Scooch]

My rooting interest has no impact on the outcome of the game. So, who cares what I'm rooting for?

 

[cliftonparksufan]

The SMU game is something of an existential crisis for me.

I always want SU to win. Go Orange. I also expect that we're going to get big announcements and move on to the next chapter once we're out of the tournament. So it feels to me kind of like when the Bills play the Eagles. No matter the outcome I am both happy and sad.

I can't imagine I'm alone there and wanted to open a discussion on it.

If you are a Syracuse fan, of course you want them to win. Red has already made his bed.

 

[miamicuse]

I think the players checked out months ago.

 

[Marsh01]

want and care are two different things

I want them to win

At this point I dont care if they lose and wont lose a wink of sleep if they do

I will take the risk of a Final Four run and Red back next year vs losing to SMU.

 

[Col. Bleep]

Look out Duke…
Go Orange!

(Yes, this season has made
Me insane)

 

[HyattsCuse]

I will cheer on Syracuse every time.

That being said, for the first time ever, in this last 3rd of the season, I have put a few bucks picking our opponents to win on money line bets. I figure it’s a win-win. Syracuse wins or the winnings are a nice consolation prize. Needless to say, I’ve been winning my bets.

 

[Briancuse]

I'm rooting for 3 big wins and a tough loss in the 4th game. We deserve a good three day stretch to remember Red by, on his way out the door.

I feel like further they go the more the heartache of losing will be

 

[Jeremy L.]

Always WANT them to win.

I don’t CARE if they win or lose tomorrow. It just is.
