We got Jesse and Judah NOW - let’s make it happen now.I want to see him coach this team one more time next year. Add some portal players, retain Jesse and Judah, and watch him have a good final year.
No idea. I dont buy both Football and Basketball seasons, just football. For hoops I do single games when I can. Given the tone of the thread I was just commenting that as a Syracuse fan I would want to hit that final game with my son.Hak and GMac jersey retirements. Wouldn't be surprised if Melo, Forth and others were in the house to help celebrate. Jesse and JG3 Senior Day. Possibly Symir also. Why wouldn't people want to go?
Like today. Why would 5000+ people stay home on a beautiful CNY Saturday afternoon against one of our biggest traditional rivals. I understand if it's a Tuesday night 9 pm game with ten inches of snow on the ground.

He was calm yesterday, but you're correct that they never complete a question.His pressers are getting worse and worse. Doesn’t even let mike and Donna finish a question before he talks over them. I find it completely childish behavior. Ok, questions are in game decisions. and second guessing suck, but for the most part our beat reporters are tame and ask softball questions
Because some people are showing “protesting” by not buying tickets that something needs to change with the program. They are hitting the pockets of the athletic department. Really the only way the fans can influence a change. The product has deteriorated and they are not buying tickets to show their displeasure.Hak and GMac jersey retirements.

Sorry I should clarify that this post is entirely opinion.
George Washington died because medical science at the time suggested that removing his "bad blood" would eliminate the sickness. it left him too weak to survive what may have been just a common cold when it began.
You don't make a situation stronger by removing its source of strength. If the fans don't go to the games, the university has less money to spend on the program, the players have less encouragement and recruits - and potential coaches - are less impressed with the school as a possible destination.
It’s not doing anything productive. He’s leaving when he’s leaving regardless. Seems like it’s this year.Just curious what you think would be a way for fans to have their voices heard? I completely understand your point.
But money talks, and it is the fastest way for the university to “hear” what the fans are saying. The voices have been getting louder the past 2 years. The university has said JB had a lot of built up equity. The fans are finally starting to show it via game day attendance. I would argue it started towards the end of last year. It’s easy for the university to ignore the fan base voices. It’s completely different when it starts to effect the bottom line.

If you want to go have fun at the game and support the team, then go. If you don’t, then don’t. This take that you’re really accomplishing something productive and proving a point by not going is misguided here, IMO. This just isn’t that type of situation.
wouldn't count on him announcing anything too much ahead of timeYeah I really hope he calls it soon and not after the year. He deserves the big farewell.
How is it misguided? When teams don’t perform; attendance usually dwindles. Why spend part of your day spending money for something you are irritated and fed up with? That in turns makes colleges and professional teams fire coaches. Get a better product and fans will come back to support the team and the product on the field.
I live in Buffalo and just had a child. So this isn’t about me or my beliefs. But you can’t say that the casual fan is not taking this into consideration. The product on the basketball field has gone downhill the last several years. The fans are starting to follow. It will not be pretty when the students go on break.
The last 3 games gave me a lot of hope that maybe just maybe this year could end up a positive vs where we were trending.
For sure...I just don’t want to see him go out with an half empty dome. He deserves more.wouldn't count on him announcing anything too much ahead of time
For sure...I just don’t want to see him go out with an half empty dome. He deserves more.

The attendance dollars are nothing in the scheme of the money the program makes.George Washington died because medical science at the time suggested that removing his "bad blood" would eliminate the sickness. it left him too weak to survive what may have been just a common cold when it began.

Like I said…..if you don’t find it fun or worth it to go and choose not to go for that reason, fine. That’s understandable.How is it misguided? When teams don’t perform; attendance usually dwindles.
