Should Cuse honor Coach K during his visit to the Dome?

[cuseattle]

I think we should. We need to make friends.

I think that's a smart way to think about it. Taking the high road is usually the best option all around.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I have been told, but haven’t confirmed, that a secret Olympic team video showing Jim coaching up the man-to-man defense while K is napping will be shown.

Did we honor John Thomason?

Did we honor John Thomason?

Big difference.
Duke is not and never will be the Orange arch-rival.

That said, perhaps K should get honored.

A limousine could pick him up at the airport as the occasion is put up live on the Dome screen.
The limo can drive him around.
He can be presented with a slice at the Varsity.
And then the limo takes him right back to the airport so he can get the heck out of town as the Dome crowd waves goodbye.

Thompson resigned suddenly on Jan 8, 1999 due to "marriage issues".

Esherick was the coach when we played them that year.

 

[kirbivore]

Yeah, one can only wonder how he became “the king of the one and done”.

 

[CousCuse]

They could put one of those big inflatable rats on the quad that unions put up at construction sites that ridicule scabs.

I give the same answer I’d give if you asked me if I would like to honor the kid who stole my lunch money in middle school when we finally graduated

 

[Sherman20]

I don't know why, but I just don't care if we do or not.

It honestly doesn't matter to me.

If we do, fine. If not, also fine.

I just want them to not interview anyone about it during game play like when they interviewed the ACC commish last game.

Yea the only thing I care about is beating Duke. Best farewell present for K ever.

 

[Sherman20]

I think the greatest honor that Syracuse could bestow upon Coach K in his last visit to the Dome…












is a big fat L

JB basically said the same thing in an interview earlier this year when asked this question. K might be his friend but he still wants to win more than anything.

 

[Dave]

No

 

[cuseinseattle]

They named a road after Roy today. Classic

 

[HtownOrange]

SU should do something classy.

After winning the student section should start the crowd in a rousing rendition of 30,000+ close friends singing...

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Did we honor John Thomason?

Never heard of the guy? Who is he?

 

[orangedave]

If we do I’ll be writing a letter to Wildhack to ask him if it came out of the athletic fund or his or JB’s personal pocket. If it comes out of the athletic fund I will be asking for my donation back. Coach K gets enough help from Jw’s former employer. We don’t need to help him anymore.

If all we do is announce that it is his last appearance here and let the fans react as they see fit, there is no need for anything to come out of any fund

 

[capeorange]

NO!

The only upside possible would be if the athletic department gave him a jersey with his name spelled out on the back...

 

[Eric15]

Boring post alert: honestly who cares. If we do honor him, it would be a nice gesture. If we don't, no one on Earth will notice.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

NO!

The only upside possible would be if the athletic department gave him a jersey with his name spelled out on the back...

Something like “Kay”?

 

[All4SU]

The first 10,000 fans get free Ratatouille masks!

 

[Cuseregular]

Yes, no friggin brainer.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Since he’s retiring, he might be short some cash. We should pass the hat to give him some spending money.

 

[capeorange]

Something like “Kay”?

That would be close enough for them.

 

[pfister1]

Call him out to center court before the game, congratulate him for his achievements and give him some parting gifts.

 

[Briancuse]

Duke will never be as hated as Gtown and as good of a coach as Big John was hes not coach K.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Freaking Canadians.

You would think a Canadian would offer a truck convoy escort to the Dome
