Message: [QUOTE="SJUBall, post: 2192737, member: 2630"] Im not mad at all. I do like to preserve old rivalries though. Losing those bothers me. I was mad when you guys were beating us every year. Your argument is flawed though. Now I'm just embarrassed for what Syracuse has become. Only way SJU can ruin your season is if you suck, but the ACC's strength keeps you afloat enough to make it seem like you don't suck and barely get to .500. At that point, a loss to SJU can hurt you and be an easy scapegoat because you didn't get into the tourney on the conference's back end. Only thing ruining Syracuse's season is not being good enough to compete with the rest of the ACC. Blaming an underachieving St. John's team for losing to them every year and potentially being a season-killer is absurd. The only thing keeping Cuse out of the tourney last few years is Cuse not being very good.. bottom line. SJU hasn't been real good either, but they're surely not the issue. [/QUOTE]
