Entire Country Cheering for Syracuse?

[EastCoast2]

Is this the only possible game that most of the country will root for Syracuse? With the exception of Durham, NC and Storrs, CT of course. I'd imagine 99% the Kansas and Clemson fans at the arena in Omaha will be cheering for the Orange.

My UNC buddy wished us luck last night. So did my Maryland buddy.

Everyone hates Duke. I remember a Boeheim interview that he said after he got ejected from the Duke game he had more people come up to him and tell him how much they like it than he would have ever expected. I forgot how many people don't like Duke I think he said.

If you gauge the temperature from Twitter, no. They'll be wishing that a meteor hits the facility in Omaha.

Were not on the Duke level of hate but its pretty damn close

LGO!!!

Clemson and KU fans will be rooting for us but that’s because they don’t think we’re very good so I’m not sure that counts.

If we somehow pull this off Friday and Clemson is in the Elite 8 there is absolutely no way they are beating us Sunday. We already beat them in once rock fight.

The Regional Final will be much like the Regional Final against Marquette in 2013. A coronation.

 

[UnknownOrange]

I don't think Nebraska residents like us very much lol

 

[SmilinBob]

Is SU the only school to have played all 3 of the teams in the same season (Duke, Kansas and Clemson) in their sweet 16 bracket? Maybe in history?

Haha I wish I knew it was a coronation when I was watching it.

Who cares?

Who cares?

Just a joke to the OP "entire country" comment. Obviously I don't care but it was pretty funny stuff

That’s a great bit of trivia research right there.

It's funny to read the ND board because they're upset that either SU or Duke will win. They're just rooting for the meteor.

In 2016 the right side of the bracket Elite 8 was UNC-Notre Dame and Virginia-Syracuse

That had to be the only time that has happened. Curious if the Sweet 16 thing has.

SOS...means Saves Our Syracuse. The SOS is going to be crazy high after the year end and Boeheim should thank his lucky stars the Bonnies and Buffalo had wonderful years as well.

I didn't mean you specifically -- I meant it in relation to the Nebraska people getting offended over something allegedly overheard in our locker room.

How 'bout if you don't give a hoot what anyone says on Twitter?

If that's "offensive" to them, they need to get a life. And while I'm at it ... I hope they ban that reporter [Nicole Auerbach] from the locker room. Clearly she's there to stoke controversy and not do any legitimate reporting.

There are only about 35 real people on Twitter.

The rest of it is just bots auto-responding to posts made by other bots.

I don't. I'm an active user and the vitriol, not only from the national media, but much the fans who follow the sport is pretty strong. Hard to ignore it, especially when you follow SU beat writers and the various Syracuse blogs.

That's fine. And I enjoy it as an SU sports fan. However, I can read what Jullian Wigham posts without having a be a twitter member. Good thing, since I have no interest in giving any information whatsoever to social media "providers". If people can't see the red flags after what FB just did, I don't know what to tell them. BOL. The industry needs to be supervised like kindergarten.

Absolutely. That's a discussion for another thread though.
