Haha I was debating if I should post at all… probably shouldn’t, but will anyway. Here goes!

I was pumped to hop on Syracusefan like always after a game, win or lose. I was excited because Syracuse is on a nice little winning streak & grabbed an ACC road win by 9. Yay!

Cole continues to be playing well & even though Jesse was a complete non-factor, Anselem stepped in well. That’s exciting. Buddy didn’t play great & we still won on the road by 9, huge positive!

I was floored by the amount of negativity in this particular thread, especially with this particular Syracuse team. A month ago this team was considered the potential worst in the JB coaching era (at least defensively), many were resigned to to the first under .500 team in 50 years.

Syracuse has turned things around, the competition is down on this run no doubt… but if this team is as bad as is claimed, we should be reveling in every win! Instead, I see comment after comment about how it should have been played differently, substitution patterns need changing, the Boeheim brothers are black holes, etc… in a 9 point ACC road win.

As fans of the program, it boggles the mind. How many comments of “the other team sucks & is terrible!” have we seen during these wins - but you also said Syracuse sucks & is terrible, so shouldn’t this run of win’s that’s pushed the team above .500 & started (started!) to bring the Orange back into some post-season discussion thrill us all? Haha the negativity during a winning streak just doesn’t compute for me in the context of this specific Syracuse team & their clear limitations.
