170 Mil for Melo
The poster asked. And yea who’s to say what they spend the money on whether coaching or the portal or more buildings.
Somewhat.
I actually thought it was a decent crowd considering all the factors involved. The crowd was engaged and 90%+ of college programs would love 16,000 during a holiday week break.
I think one of the few potential positives we have for next year is that most of the roster will turnover. I want to see 8-9 new faces on this team next year because there's far too many guys wearing Orange this year that shouldn't. If their name doesn't have a FR next to it on the roster I'm pretty much ready to say good bye already and won't really even think twice about it.
Tickets are $5 or less on secondary. Folks are just checked out.
What is up with this Snoop Dog thing? I found him to be a waste of time at the Olympics, and now he seems to be everywhere. Do people actually like him that much?
This is exactly what I'm not understanding. Did Melo/Lala SAY they're giving Red millions to stack a team? Just because someone is rich doesn't mean others are entitled to their money. So did they SAY they would, or was it hopeful thinking on this board that took on a life of its own? If not a specific promise, it's pointless to use that argument in defense of more years for Red regardless of how he performs the rest of the way.
It really is just this simple, and a lot more likely than Melo allowing his son to play for a poor coach on an awful team. Melo knows as well as anybody that this is a business.
I am similar. I've been reading stuff on the internet with an eye on the game.
I barely follow college basketball anymore. It's not on my radar. I don't even care about the tournament that much.
Watching the "family" videos when Kiyan committed to SU, Melo spoke passionately about resurrecting the program-
+1, for a while now.
SD laughing all the way to the bank
Nothing against you personally, I get it. It's frustrating. But it's almost like these people saying they are going to move to Canada after the election. Yet, people still come on here to comment after not supposedly watching games or not moving to Canada.
Very glad your blood pressure is under control. As is mine with medication also. I've been an SU fan for at least 68 years growing up in Syracuse. The first thing I remember is Jim Brown playing in the '56-'57 Cotton Bowl and I think we lost because he missed an extra point. I remember Ernie Davis and the great '59 National Championship team. And of course the "Infamous" 1961 Notre Dame game, which I still haven't gotten over. [I hate them for what they said and did after the game.] I even have a scrapbook about it with all the articles from the old Herald-Journal -- somewhere. And I even remember SU basketball team's record setting losing streak I think in the early 60s. But this year's team just isn't interesting to me to watch. That's why I stopped. So maybe it's just that my "cloth" is older and my interest is watching an uninteresting team is waning.
I come here to talk because I love the community and the banter and the commiseration. And I have a pretty cushy job where I get to putz around on the internet all day in between work.
