Message: [QUOTE="Orangepace, post: 2090264, member: 322"] One needn't look far to understand just how fortunate we are as Syracuse basketball fans. Everytime I feel myself starting to take it for granted, I just remember how great Syracuse football once was. Jim Boeheim has given us basketball fans more than we ever could have bargained for. I hope that when he steps down, it's because he made a choice to move onto the next chapter of his life. Unfortunately, we may never truly know, but the timing of his announced retirement still feels like a horribly rash reaction to the NCAA penalties. For the first 35 years of my life, the combination of Boeheim and Syracuse University has always assured me that come March, the Syracuse Orange are always relevant. Ben Franklin said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." It's unfortunate that he never had the pleasure of being a Syracuse basketball fan. [/QUOTE]
