Message: [QUOTE="CA Monk, post: 5663589, member: 5268"] We've got issues and it isn't too pleasant for a longtime Syracuse fan (when I was a teenager my neighbor would let us slide through the turnstiles gratis at Manley Field house without a ticket) to watch these games. But we'll be back. We have some great assets: the dome, our history and a conference we can get noticed in if we play well. Of course, now money plays a significant role so the ground has shifted. I don't know if it's my untrained eye or what, but I watched 73 year-old Rick Pitino-led St. John's fiercely battle #2 Connecticut (22-1) yesterday. And what a battle it was. That game was played at such a high level of intensity. I don't know if I've seen that from the Orange this year. St. John's beat Connecticut at Madison Square Garden where we used to dominate and call our home away from home. It'll be curious to see if we can (as the Beatles would say) get back to where we once belonged. [/QUOTE]
