Who's idea was it to go with the opposite color shorts anyway? The orange with orange would have been fine.
We are the OrangeMEN of Syracuse, as Doug Logan used to say.Definitely was the shorts, and we all knew that blue shorts were going to lead to the end of our season. It was the talk at the time, and it proved to be true. So no more blue for Syracuse football, or basketball!!!! We are the ORANGE!!
I saw those digs & my initial reaction was to tell my wife I didn't want to watch the game! What can you really say that isn't negative? The players returning from this team should quarantine those things & opt to lose them in a spring bonfire.Either that, or some ornery priest hexed Cooney after the Notre Dame game.
I think your facts are wrong. We made it to the Sweet 16 in the other two years. In 1990 lost to Minnesota in Sweet 16 and in 1998 lost to Dook in Sweet 16.I blame it on playing in Maui. In those 3 years, with 3 Maui titles, we have 1 NCAA win, which was this year against WMU. 90-91 was the dreaded Richmond loss.
And UConn now has 2 titles in those years (98-99 was the other).
