Seriously?

[SUskibum]

I feel like the overall tone of commentators is much more negative than usual. Boeheim bitterness or what? I know we aren't the best team in the field and this team hasn't been as consistent as our better teams over our history but every single column I see takes not 1 but 2 pot shots. 1. We shouldn't have been in. (Top 50 wins don't matter anymore?) 2. Our path has been a cakewalk (ask Michigan state that or a more talented SU team 2 years ago)

I have no issue with the sportsonearth and the yahoo one honestly...it's their opinion we're 16, I'm fine with that.

The SportingNews is just lazy.

I like this sentence, "and it has wins over Sweet 16 teams Texas A&M, Duke and Notre Dame. "

We don't belong but we beat 3 other teams playing in the Sweet 16. Jerks.

I think the better question is why you expect national media to be optimistic after just 2 games when the vast majority of Syracuse fans gave up on this team 2 months ago.

Sports media takes are pretty much all some combination trolling and pure stupidity and/or laziness these days.

The forum is a great place to visit... I just tune in 5 mins before gametime and watch, these chuckleheads you guys are worried about will drive you crazy if you let them. they are just trying to secure their jobs and make $$$. If nobody gave a shite, they wouldn't have a cushy job and have to find real work. You are putting food on their table, and buying their homes etc.
