Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 1221682, member: 2196"] The bottom line, this is a Syracusefan board, not a specific player board. We want the players to do well in that means the team is doing well. Its been a tough season so far and fans will react in that way. We are not going to pump up players when they are not performing up to our expectations. I will not go out of my way to contact a player on social networks or in person and tell them how bad they are playing, that is pointless, classless, and frankly i just don't understand what joy any individual would get out of that. But unfortunately with increased use of social networks, some individuals feel the need to do this. These players are obviously trying their best, they are not intentionally playing poorly. But that doesn't mean their isn't a place for us to vent about their play, a place for us fans to voice our displeasure with a specific player among fellow fans. That place happens to be this board, SYRACUSEFAN.com, a place were fellow SYRACUSE FANS come together because of our love for the university and our love of sports. In the end, we all want the same thing, syracuse success. Personally, this is where I come to vent and celebrate with fellow fans and talk syracuse sports. I can't do this in Buffalo because their is not fellow syracuse fans around me and my roommates are not Syracuse fans. So I come here to talk about the team I love and watch every game. In my opinion, this is a place parents and players should avoid once they start playing here because of this fact. I don't mean this disrespectfully, but OBJ came onto this board when his son was being recruited and was widely loved because there was a lot to like about his sons potential and he showed a lot of promise. But with that love, also comes high expectations. And when those expectations are unfulfilled, people become restless. You can't always expect to be loved, your playing for one of the top teams in the country. This also occurs everywhere in the country, it is not confined to syracuse itself. You can't expect the love fest to continue when the team is losing and players are playing poorly. We don't root for one player more then the other, we root for the team as a whole. [/QUOTE]
