Message: [QUOTE="Dave, post: 5293019, member: 1226"] Excellence is never assured, true. It was handed to us for many, many years by a guy who took the job after his predecessor moved up to TULANE. Imagine that! Leaving Syracuse for Tulane. It wasn’t the effective death of the Big East? It wasn’t the change to a southern centric conference? It wasn’t the advent of the portal? It was JB! That had become a conventional form of “wisdom” in this virtual barroom full of drunken louts with their boozy proclamations. Georgetown after John Thompson. DePaul. So many examples. We were a second tier recruiting school who got top tier results. You know what? You CANNOT win big games playing zone! Impossible! Until it wasn’t. JB fell victim to his own success. That, and ingrates with short memories and high expectations. [/QUOTE]
