Let the speculation begin

Sometimes that’s all it’s about. Saving face. Companies pay millions and billions to save face

Great. Whatever. Splitting hairs. As long as the objective of him stepping away gets accomplished, I don't care what rhetoric it's couched under.

Chang is long overdue

Listen, I’m all about change but I don’t see how a retired tennis player replacing JB helps us.

 

[miamicuse]

No way he knows something that no one else knows.

May be there is a winter storm coming that will blow the dome roof off, may be.

 

[miamicuse]

May be a weekend at Bernie Fine's?

 

[SWC75]

Wait until it warms up to do that.

Maybe he's going back to plaid sport coats.

If he thinks it’ll strike some luck up, let’s do it!

In all seriousness, JB is the greatest thing that ever happened to SU. For almost 50 years he has made us a powerhouse in basketball and a name at everyone's dinner table. The quality of everything at SU has gotten better because of this. BUT. All good things need to come to an end at the right time. There comes a time when it is time to go off into the sunset, and enjoy being a spectator, and being proud of all that you have accomplished. Some people (I refer to Brett Favre, for ex) don't know when their best time has come, and that it is time to hand over the basketball to one of many of those who you have taught and trained to be ready for this. I love SU, and I love SU basketball (and also football). I will always love JB and what he brought to SU. And with that, I want to know who is going to let him know that it is time for the next person to take his legacy and keep it going. We need to let all recruits know who will be coaching them for their entire college career.

If Jimmy is petitioning for an extra year, and maybe Buddy, too, Jim's not going anywhere yet.

Soo I did hear something pretty interesting this week..FWIW
The AD office is getting flooded with comments, emails, phone calls etc. Now, this is normal to happen every year and when we would hit a losing streak in a year, it would increase but apparently this year, it’s on a 1000x level right now. As much as JW has an assistant and a filter on his email, it’s coming through apparently….
Take it how you want it

I'm going to take it as not based in reality.

(Not shooting the messenger. I appreciate SUOrangeSU passing along what (s)he heard.)

I know we’ve been spoiled for a long time. Hell not a losing season for 45+ is insane. But man I can’t wait for when we can get back to a top 15 squad. Those big time games just have such an excitement. I’m hopeful we will be back at some point, ideally not too far in the future.

I was at SU from 08-12… two of the best teams in history were in my tenure. It was just amazing stuff.

And I want another title!

We will never get a title with JB at the helm. Once in 40+ years is his ceiling

 

[Bayside44]

Right, but he'd still be forced out.

That's all I'm saying, either way, his hand would be forced. Allowing him to"retire" would just be this safe face.

The Desko Plan.

I’m a BIG M loyalist but I cant even deny how great Wegmans is

Big M has the best muffins I’ve ever had. At least the store in Rochester does

To go one further, I’ll even debate that Tops has a better bakery than Wegmans, and I know quite a bit about baked goods.

If im JW i tell Jim step down after this season and i will seriously consider Red or G. Go another year and that is off the table. Your choice Jim

[DoubleDee]

I grew up in Fayetteville right by the one in deWitt. Parents still live there. They hate that store though because it’s always so crowded. No doubt quality place though.

When I was a younger man working next door at that Chase-Pitkin, that Wegmans was the Hot Mom capital of the world.

Will never happen.

Still is.

 

[AZOrange]

I hope not we just spent a ton of money and time putting a new roof on!

 

[two3zone]

Still is.

Confirmed.

 

[brian williams]

I’m in NYC and I never see them. I’m the same when I go back. Stop at Wegmans, pick ‘em up.

Just started finding it in Burlington, NC.

Speaking of speculation, any reason why Mike waters AND Donna didn’t bother to show up at the presser and ask a single question. They are professionals who ask good questions. I’m so tired of the dan tortoras and Mike Curtis’ asking “how do you think Joe played?”

Edit: apparently Waters is covering a high school game today with one of our recruits? On the day of a home ACC game? What in the world is going on? You send intern Finkelstein to cover that

Due to COVID and trying to limit people exposed to the players, they are taking turns and only one at each game. Mike announced this about a week ago.

I’d kill for either a Wegmans or Publix in Dallas. Best we can hope for is the arrival of HEB.

Folks that live in areas with both Wegmans and Publix don’t realize how good they have it. You’ve hit the supermarket lottery.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Wow. She didn’t have a single question as the lead resident beat writer.

She’s over it as well

 

[4evaOrange]

Taking over starting point guard duties effective tomorrow in practice and then full steam ahead for the rest of the season.

It’s ok guys I’m here.

I’ve been to a couple in the Austin TX area that would like a word
