In the winter, when there isn't that much to do outside of work and family stuff, Syracuse basketball is my primary source of entertainment. For the past 30-35 years that I've followed the program, I get so much joy every single day out of monitoring our RPI, Bracketmatrix, Bracketology, etc. Even during seasons when we didn't make the tourney like 1997, 2002 2007, 2008, the games were extremely important and relevant right up until the BET. We usually missed the cut by one single win.

I thought things were bad during that stretch from like 2015-2019 when we missed the tourney a couple times and then miraculously made the cut a couple times, but even then we were still part of the conversation and always within striking distance.

It's just different now, in the absolute most depressing way possible. For five out of the past six seasons, we have been completely off the bubble prior to the New Year. This year especially, the rest of the season is going to feel like a Greg Robinson football season in November, where you watch the games out of a sense of duty instead of actual excitement.

We keep saying "this is rock bottom" but then somehow, some way there's another layer below that.
