I've just sent in this question:
"Coach, words get thrown around these days like they were confetti. A word I hear a lot of is “meaningless”. In basketball, you hear that the regular season is meaningless- it’s what you do in the NCAA tournament that matters. In football you hear that an extended playoff will make the regular season meaningless. And you hear that when a team can’t play in a bowl game, the rest of their season is meaningless. Colleges were playing football and basketball long before there were bowl games and championship playoffs. They must have thought their games had meaning. Have you ever played or coached in a game that had no meaning? What does the Boston College game mean to your coaching staff and players and what should it mean to the fans?"
The show this year will be broadcast from the Canyons at Destiny USA in front of Cantina Laredo. I don’t know if they will take questions from the audience there but they say you can watch the show whereas when it was at a restaurant, their table tended to be in a secluded location. You can call in questions at 1-888-7-Go Cuse (746-2873) or, locally 424-8599. You can also send them in advance at this site:

(I do both so they can be prepared to give me an informed, reasoned answer.) You can also contact them via Twitter (@SUSportsNetwork) using #AskShafe. The football show is an hour in duration, (Coach Boeheim’s basketball show is usually 2 hours).
The show can be heard in Syracuse on FM 99.5. It’s sometime simulcast on AM 1200 or FM 97.7. You can also get it on: http://tunein.com/radio/WGVA-1240-s29191/
