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

[Briancuse]

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

The only game since the bc game that I genuinely was a little angered over was the pitt game because of the embarrassment of losing at home to an 11 and 19 team. And that lasted a few hours.

 

[CuseTroop]

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

After the last couple years, I think we have a pretty good "losing tolerance". I stopped letting a team coached by Red affect my emotions a while ago.

 

[CuseFan]

Always rooting for a WIN! and as crazy as it sounds, I think the Cuse pulls out the game against SMU.

 

[jncuse]

Those here that degrade themselves as humans by cheering for Duke in the NCAA Tournament due to "Shared Conference Money", perhaps are fine with cheering for SMU for the same reason. We win tomorrow, and SMU is cooked as a tourney team.

SMU has been a mess down the stretch, and went from near lock 3 weeks ago, to clearly on the bubble.

Bleeping a team over could be Syracuse's Super Bowl this week.

 

[tptcuse]

As mentioned here several times, I went to SMU for grad school. So, I will be rooting for......Syracuse.

 

[Brooky03]

I won’t be watching, so I’m not really rooting for anything. I certainly never want SU to lose. So, I guess I’m rooting for them to win.

 

[Jake]

Absolutely. Would love to find a way to not have a losing season. It’s not going to change the direction forward.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

As far as I can go is to say that I have no feeling, whether we win or don’t. I already hate myself for so many things that I can’t add this to the list. I’m excusing myself for this inexcusable apathy.

Oh, but I do hope for the seniors that they play well. Hope JJ scores an efficient 20p and if the new coach wants any of the other players to return next year, I hope for some manner of an encouraging result for them, too.

I always want us to win, but my ability to move on from a loss has grown so much these past 5 years that I will not give it much thought afterwards. Also, we've won what, two ACCT games the whole time we've been in it? That keeps my hopes way down.

 

[sandman525]

I see a clear path to Saturday and a title game against Duke.

I'll have what you're having

 

[stuckinbig11]

I ALWAYS root for SU to win !

 

[cuseinseattle]

Rooting and hoping for a win

I would cheer for Duke only because I think the best team should win the tournament annually. I love my first weekend upsets though

 

[orangepassion]

Win one for the Redder

 

[Dcuse]

I'll have what you're having

Other than the 3 or4 times in this thread, I’ve never heard this joke.

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.

I want to see two wins so we don't have a losing season.

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

ACC is a tough conference. And players might not be what you expect. Unless you are Duke. You are the first school to pick.

Maybe just me but I never found the “I’ll have what he’s having” all that funny. Way overused.
