XVII is a hoop commandment. Also, should we have been using "shalt" instead of "shall?"

We cover hoops on syracusefan.com. And eight of the 10 commandments have the word shall in them. Not have shalt.

My nephew and his fiancé told me today they picked a date for their wedding….September 16, 2023. I told them if there is a Syracuse game that day, they are going to get a really nice gift….but I won’t be at the wedding.

XI. Thou shall never do the "wave".

I love the wave! What do you have against the wave? Were you traumatized by the wave as a child? Did you spill your beer during a wave? Are you also against dancing?

 

[corpjet]

Thou shall make an appearance to support the wonderful and hard working folks at the Fine Mess Cruz Tailgate as often as possible

 

[44Jack]

The Wave Sucks - - just my opinion -- real cheering works, the wave looks orchestrated - therefore no true emotion

Our fans do the wave when we're on offense.

That's like making noise to distract your own FT shooters.

 

[FloridaFan]

So mote it be

 

[RandomGuy]

So it is written

So it shall be done.

 

[Trueblue25]

Thou shalt covet the holy trinity

Blue light
Dome dog
Pee trough
