Message: [QUOTE="SUforLife, post: 169940, member: 1817"] This is a good post. Makes me proud to be a Cuse fan when I read a gentlemanly post like this. 1. I agree winning it all would be huge this year for two reasons: 1, we go into the ACC in the strongest possible position, and 2) our chances of winning it all in the crooked ACC are going to be greatly reduced. This isn't just for the obvious reasons. Playing in the ACC isn't good for either side of the devide, the teams that benefit from the crooked officating or the other side. Duke always seems to struggle a little with the reffing in the NCAA because K can't control it to the same degree. This toxic atmosphere will not be conducive to preparing us for a long tourney run. 2 i think you are vastly underrating the existing rivalries and overrating the future ones. Who is going to care about SU-Duke outside of us and some assface Duke fans? It's just not going to get the average fan excited, I'm sorry. Rivalries are about HISTORY, something you can't manufacture overnight. 3 that is an interesting theory on SU not scheduling OOC. Still ,it's a minor concern to destroying the BE. UConn will never be admitted because Calhoun is constitutionally incapable of staying "in his place". I'm not saying JB is a pushover, but he's just too classy a guy to get in the mud like Calhoun would. One other thing you have to realize is that Calhoun, as crooked as he is, he never tried to fix actual games. Calhoun's cheating was all about how he assembled his teams, but he's too much of a Darwinist to mess with actual game play. He believes in eat or be eaten, and that that is good for characther, i.e., a strong, fair league will prepare you for the NCAA. K isn't like that. K is essentially a monarchist - all that matters to him is that the everyone support what he perceives as the royal pecking order. HE ISN"T INTERESTED IN REAL COMPETITION, JUST KISS HIS RING and OFF [/QUOTE]
