Rough week for SU athletics

[RedtheGOB]

Any new coach worth his while will want a minimum of $10 million for NIL. That number is only going to increase.

Yes exactly and he will not want to be nickel and dimed when he wants something. My point above was exactly this.

Assistants, Staff, Nutritionists, personal assistants, hookers whatever ha

My one memory from the night of the UConn game was how insanely icy the sidewalks in Manhattan were. It was like trying to walk on an ice skating rink. Very unsafe.

I remember hanging out with a guy who drank a lot and accidentally booked his return flight for two weeks after the weekend.

You’re either referring to Rudy Giuliani or CuseTroop here.

The best news is that few people actually saw this tournament. I'd guess there may be as many members on line right now (239) that were in attendance at that game today. I won't bother with any critical comments other than to say I'm not sure there is a single player or coach that can say they did their part this week. The only ray of sunshine is we have 3 losses to top 25 teams, anyone thinking KU won't be ranked again after this week is mistaken. No "bad losses" is important come tournament time. Which could just mean the worst is yet to come, but we have yet to play the games that will keep us out of the tournament.

And to see both teams QUIT makes me embarrassed to wear my cuse attire. Reflects on both coaching staffs.

Yikes. 70-7 ND beatdown in football and then 0-3 at the Players Era. This is the worst week in Cuse athletics I can remember, and I go back to the GROB era.

Our current approach to athletics seems to be...not working. Why? Any good ideas?

We all thought it was cool that a guy was coming from ESPN to take over. Like that would make him some kind of AD wizard‍. The most important hire in almost 50 years had zero splash and zero thought behind it. He took the easy road because he was afraid to not continue the JB era and do what's best for the program, and here we are.

Everybody in the know says if you want to win you have to commit to paying players. It’s the only way you can win. Whether it’s the portal or hs recruiting you have to spend to get results. No money, no talent. No talent no wins. Our talent this year is overrated. Our wings are not quick enough and none of them can create off the dribble. We also lack a lot of size. Our front line is still small. Kyle plays his butt off, but there’s only lobs and no post up game.

How does that explain George and kingz becoming worse?

John is Nacho Varga when it came to hiring JB’s successor. JB and the Board is Gustavo Fring.

The insiders noted there was plenty of money this year and that red got the guys he wanted. Any other excuse is people applying the context they want vs what actually happened

Seems like the excuse is Red can only win with a roster full of top 30 guys. JB wasn’t even doing that in the 2000’s and early 2010’s.

Ugh I still have nightmares of that weekend. Lost to Uconn Thursday. Oregon Friday. Insanely hungover on Saturday and we get smoked by ND. Then on Sunday I truck my hungover ass to JFK and try to check in for my flight. Only to find out that my drunk ass (I bought my return flight while I was at the Blarney before the Oregon game) bought a ticket for 2 weeks from now, instead of that day.

Ugh I hate that weekend.

I tipped a few with you and OburgCuse that weekend. The only good thing about the whole trip!

Literally looks like I grabbed one of my 9 vodka redbulls I had that morning and said "Hey guys, I finally booked my flight home, cheers!"

 

[crv1728]

We can add women’s hoops being blasted and volleyball losing every match they’ve played badly. Brutal week for SU sports

The men’s cross-country team finished fourth at the national championship meet last week. At least we have that.

 

[crv1728]

Be prepared for us to win both. Cuz I’m feeling it. Why? I have no idea. But it’s gonna happen

What’s your secret? Manhattans? Old fashioneds? Weed?

A small combo of all three can work wonders for any Orange fan. It’s a recipe for success for the last 20 years. Lol

Lol well said. One of my all-time favorite series. Funny how that went out like a splat though, just like these two programs under Wildhack.

Hey- I’m still on season 6 so thanks for the spoiler! But yeah I can see the wheels coming off with inexplicable character changes… kim’s obsession with destroying Howard doesn’t make any sense and we’re at the point of wanting to skip those scenes.
