Message: [QUOTE="CuseMan4, post: 3196225, member: 5564"] Don’t get me wrong here I love JB and everything he has done for this program, continues to do for this program, this school and the community. But I CANNOT stand where the past few years in pressers he will say “we aren’t talented enough to do...” or “they outplayed us” or “they were the better team”. Phrases like that, we are freaking Syracuse we are probably a step below the Dukes of the world prestige/traditionally whether we like to admit it or not but those excuses for a presser after a loss are so lame. Your job is to make sure our team is prepared, your job is to make sure we have the players/talent, your job is to make sure they play hard. Now he didn’t exactly elude to that tonight but giants comments weren’t far off and he’s hasn’t surely said that multiple time the past few years. It’s basically admitted you didn’t do your job up to par. It just irks me because if a coach that has been here for 3-5 years said something like that the fan base would go nuts. Yes JB has done great things like I said but my point here is we CANNOT let the standards of this program slip and that is EXACTLY what is happening. This program has flatlined the last few years and everyone can see it. Two final four miracle runs have saved face for a bunch of mediocre at best regular seasons. This program is stuck in the mud right now and thats the honest truth. As fans, alumni, coaches, etc...you simply can’t be alright with how things are going we have a standard here at Syracuse and I’m sorry the last few seasons and most likely this season have NOT been it and that needs to be fixed. Agree to disagree. [/QUOTE]
