Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 1160484, member: 210"] That's fine by me... I've been an Orange fan since I was a kid in the late 80's. Last year I had my own kid and watching Syracuse games became a question of opportunity cost between spending time with the family and time watching hoops. The last month of the season for the first time ever I found myself choosing to not watch SU hoops because it just wasn't worth it. The games were not entertaining and frankly looked more like the rock fights in the big 10 that we have made fun of forever. If JB continues to prioritize defense over offense then I will find myself watching less and less Syracuse hoops. It's kind of funny... a decade ago I would have said college hoops was better than NBA hoops without even thinking about it. Now I think NBA hoops is a much better product than college and it's not even close. The only thing that keeps me following college is Syracuse hoops and slowly but surly I find myself losing that connection as we look more and more like we have no idea what to do on offense, our teams peak in December, there is always some controversy or drama around the program, the coach is becoming more and more stubborn and we play fundamentally terrible basketball on offense. I hope I am eating my words and the team that we roll out in March is much better than the one which takes the court in a few weeks. I also hope that for once we have an offense worth watching so I am not falling asleep during games. I know this is a pretty negative post but I always used to think that Syracuse hoops was better than the crap, mediocre hoops we have been seeing the last 5 years. I stopped watching non-SU hoops a long time ago but now I think SU hoops is just as painful to watch and it really saddens me to say that. [/QUOTE]
