You got me, it probably isn't the best perspective or way to look at it. I'm not saying Syracuse bb sucks. But Syracuse fans seem to think Minnesota bb has never existed at all. The facts do not back that up.
 
 
Minnesota led Syracuse in # of Natl Titles in bb, 3 to 2, all the way up to 2003.
 
Minnesota has ALWAYS led Syracuse in the # of players sent to the NBA.
 
Minnesota led Syracuse in the # of AP poll appearances all the way up to 1986.
 
Minnesota played in a very tough and competitive Big Ten Conf, back when you could finish the season ranked in the Top 4-12 in the nation and not even get an invite to the Big Dance. Is that fair? I don't know, those were the rules, that's the way it was and I can't do anything about it now, but Syracuse fans could stop showing so much disrespect. I'm not asking Syracuse fans to say UMn is great in bb, because they are not. But they weren't nearly as bad as some of you make them out to be. I'm not asking Syracuse fans to say UMn is great in fb, because they are not. But Minnesota has a proud heritage in football, and honestly, Syracuse hasn't done enough since 1967 to have earned the right to disrespect Mn fb, and acknowledging that only strengthens Syracuse's place in the college sports world and makes you better people and fans. It doesn't take anything away from it or you.
