Who cares what some of these schleps say? If people moan, groan, and whine every time some attention seeking, conflict instigating, begging for relevance, TV prognosticator makes an antagonistic statement about Syracuse, then you play right into their hands.  (and God only knows where their filthy little attention grabbing hands have been!)

At this point the notion that Syracuse doesn't belong or has had some cushy path to the elite 8 is utterly ridiculous and without any merit whatsoever. We are where we are because we have a well coached group of talented kids who have adopted the belief that what anyone thinks besides themselves is inconsequential and that any of the doubters and haters have only served to motivate them. (See Gbinije's comments)

For me, the bottom line is that Syracuse, and it's performance in the tournament has been "THE STORY"  thus far in the tournament. What they have accomplished in light of the obstacles they have had to overcome is nothing short of amazing. Any schleps who feel compelled to in any way diminish what they have done must be pretty miserable people with negative outlooks on life and more than likely have small hands and smell like cabbage.

We will do our talking on the court... and win or lose we will have played with integrity, passion, while having given many of us a post season to remember for a lifetime.
