Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 562369, member: 837"] OK, so I think we're in agreement on the C7 except for the "end of su hoops" comment. I think we could have been just fine in that conference and -- and I know I'm alone in this -- I have a slight question as to what happens when we're recruiting b'more and dc and philly now and playing nowhere near any of them. I can't imagine we'll lose recruits because of it, but it certainly is a different ballgame. As for the ACC's potential in hoops, I agree it will be a very intriguing conference and I'll get into it. As a fan, I will absolutely miss the cities we played in b/c I traveled to those games and have plenty of buddies in those cities (NYC, pilly, DC and even provy). Also have a bunch of buddies who are uconn fans. There is something lost from a fan perspective and from a marketing perspective, however, when you start playing the vast majority of opponents from a completely different region of the country. And I do view us as an outlier when you consider that BC at 5+ hrs away is the closest school to Syracuse. Our profile may be similar to our new brethren but we are on an island with BC and maybe Pitt now that UMD is gone. Weird feeling. You and i just disagree on SU's status as a football program. And peraps that has to do with you growing up 1000 miles from campus. Everyone knows hoops, lax people obviously know lax. Yes, we have a proud history of jim brown and the '59 team and ernie davis and all that -- but because the northeast is pro sports country, there are very few casual college football fans who can really tell you the first thing about cuse football. I think that makes us different than basically any program located in the south, southeast, midwest, and southwest. I can't really speak for the west coast. [/QUOTE]
