Home games every where

I saw a Syracuse Football game in Tokyo in 1989. Syracuse home game!

Does Gerry know how rude it is to the squirrels with this starting center commitment hold up?

Ok Omaha, did this dude hit on your wife or something? You got all pissy pants when I said the fans really seem to despise him, you defend him but then dog him now. I don’t get it man.

LOL…Have nothing agsinst Owen and wish him the best, again he is a good kid. I want SU to win and give our team the best chance. He was the 10th (maybe 12th) man on a lousy Creighton team and not because he was injured. Does not take to much to figure out I want a better player, a rim protector who can play defense. If OF is a take and our 3rd string guy it’s all good as he will be a good teammate. As for his stats at Iowa, they were a lousy team, did not make the tourney and just ran up and down giving up easy baskets and scoring a lot of points. JJ Starling was a ACC 1st teamer as a Freshman, a good teammate hard worker, etc. nearly the exact same situation here (remember how excited we were). Maybe I’m wrong, but do not see GMAC in that mode he seems like he wants good defenders and centers who can protect the paint and rim. And yes, the CU fans feel burned (and coaches) as he was not 1/2 the player they expected. Maybe our expectations are different its for GMAC/coaches to figure out.

Freeman is not from a city or a city environment and has played at two schools that aren’t your traditional city like feel. Auburn is similar. Syracuse isn’t huge but you know and feel like you live in the city being around campus. As someone farm and country raised I loved my time on the hill but it was an adjustment. Freeman had an Iowa teammate come with him to Creighton. Thus I can see the culture shock factor at play here too as he is trying to decide.

Creighton is in Omaha, right next to a freeway. Pretty similar to SU.

JJ was an All Freshman ACC player. Not all ACC ha. I don’t think you have any idea. It’s also burned into our memories just how bad of a leader JJ was.

I've heard we offered him a bag, he's considered damaged goods, and we're just his fallback option if Auburn doesn't want him. I mean at this point what are we doing here this isn't some All American level player, he could be cooked for all we know. Time to move on

To who?

Yeah been to Omaha a few times. Midwest vibe just doesn’t feel the same to me as Syracuse was all.

If we offered him can’t figure we see him as damaged goods.

He’s not considered damaged goods if multiple P4 schools and a tournament team in SLU are offering him major money.

OmahaCuse, I've appreciated all of the info from the local perspective you've brought to this thread.

But I find it very difficult to believe that this guy could average double figures 2 years in a row in the Big 10, but not be good enough to be the 10th or 12th man at Creighton. Come on.

Plus, I have heard what we have offered him. It isn't more than we have offerd any of our current players. It's a lot more. And he didn't say yes right away so that tells me others are offering something in the same league. That is not 3rd string. Now, no one knows how he will do next year at whatever school he goes to. But he is being recruited like he is a star player. Like what he was when the Blue Jays gave him 1.8 million just a couple of years ago.

I’ve heard we didn’t offer him any more than a lunch bag. I’m not sure if he’s damaged goods or not but we may be a fallback option if somebody else doesn’t offer him a “ BAG.” Your first sentence is inaccurate and makes no sense if the rest is true.

I heard different Dasher. So I won’t swear to it as I will never claim to be closer than you to things.

Agree. Omaha has some good points about his athleticism. He's certainly not going to compete in a dunk contest like Kyle. But I watched almost every game he played at Iowa and I find it hard to believe he turned into this now.

True. All that said after watching too much tape and game footage - he should have sat out the whole year. I recognize the small adjustments and struggles in moving that I remember coming back from my own knee injury years back. He can say he was healthy all he wants and I believe that was the staff and player view but the eyes don’t lie.

Dude, then maybe don’t bitch when I said fans really dislike him then. You’re a fan of Creighton (great) but don’t bitch about here posters saying exactly what you’re saying which is he is not worth it. My god man, pick a stance and stay in it. Don’t be a little bitch. Defending him him while criticizing him is a bad look dude.

Can you link me the report of this?

 

[granthath9]

Can you link me the report of this?

type his name on literally any browser or website and you’ll see it. im not sure why you’re so defensive. truth hurt?

Why are you name calling? For clarity, my stance is if we get him as a 3rd string center for minimum $ it’s okay with me as he is good kid. Hope he is not the primary or secondary choice, thats all. I’m trying to dispel rumors about drug use or a locker room problem or injury as that not an issue. For the record I 100% support SU as my primary team financially and other. I have lived in Omaha for many years and am involved with the program ($) so I’m passing on my thoughts and opinions based on what I know. You may not like him but others are enamored. Do you name call people that donate money to SU think you should appreciate all fans especially one who actually support the programs.

 

[granthath9]

I’m seeing more and more people connect him to Auburn. Sounds like it’s just a matter of time.

 

[granthath9]

We dont have either right now. How is that hysteria?

Literally. And options are starting to thin out. We’re in almost the exact same spot as last year.
