something to consdier when we talk about Pitt and dixon vs JB

[two3zone]

Right because we never do that despite being one of the most successful teams in the history of college basketball.

I've been on other boards and while there is complaining it's nothing like here. It's ALWAYS something. Refs, hand checks, coaches on the court... Etc etc. Half the posts in a game thread about one of the things I listed.

We beat Buzz a good amount, but it still drives me nuts he is on the court. If I was a player I would run them over.

I always say if I were JB or any coach I would teach my players to do this.

 

[HOFCeluck]

I lurk on a handful of other boards. Yeah, we complain about the refs a disproportionate amount.

 

[Alsacs]

It is an automatic Technical foul on the coach.

I take it you haven't been on the Duke board recently. They have an entire three page thread asking why the refs hate them this year.

This ones' great. The "Big East Schools are dirty", especially Syracuse and Louisville.

So one thread on one board vs years of complaining every time we lose a big game?

My favorite my be the one in the aftermath of our loss to Lville in the BETCG in 2013 expressing relief that we were getting out of that conference...because we would get a fair shake officiating wise in the ACC.

That's because we're the smartest.

Please. Every board does the same thing. Every board.

Jeez, I was just trying to have some fun. If anything, we are way more cynical than most fan bases and that's a CNY personality trait IMO, but that's just my opinion.

Do you visit any other boards?

All the time. Not syracuse boards but UConn, Providence, Duke, and the team we are about to play or the team we just played.

Idk who said that, I never expected to win that game after winning the previous 3. We ran out of gas and MCW had a gazillion turnovers.

I bet those three friar fans get real fired up when the refs screw them.

their board can be a hoot. According to them, it is only a matter of time before the Big east is the best conference again. Like they had something to do with it the first time.

If there was ever a poll on the most hated team and coach in CBB what teams and coaches would be in top ten?
Pitino, CAL and Jb would be front runners and Kentucky, Duke and SU would be there too. I guess its like being the Yankees. You love em or hate em.

Nobody hates unsuccessful coaches and programs.

They did have that Final 4 run when Gerald Ford was in office and stamps cost 13 cents.

Pitt has had a grand total of 2 guys leave early. Blair and the kid from Australia. We have had that many leave in one year. So, they keep their guys and they are physically mature. That is good enough to win some games but not go very far in the NCAA. Yeah, they beat us with that formula, but just 3 years ago, we went to the final four. They have never gone that far.

their previous game wake took them to double ot?

I'd rather talk about the amount of time that Dixon spends illegally on the court and no refs have the cojones to T him up for it. There was one time yesterday that one of the refs was in the front court and turned sideways when he saw Dixon out of the corner of his eye and was ready to say or do something but the play was in front of him.

It had appeared that he or the other black ref (is that ok to say politically) had warned him previously which did no good. Maybe someone sitting closer behind the Pitt bench could speak on that.

I want to talk about his hair again.

 

[cuseattle]

Seriously. Does he color the part he combs over, or is the middle of his hair naturally lighter?
