it's never been more clear that Interstate 81 runs steeply downhill from Syracuse to Binghamton (or Vestal, as the case may be) . . . just ask Tiki Mayben, who wanted to scale the heights but ended up circling the drain

Towson will be the only team with a zero in their W/L record at the end of the season, going winless is easier than going undefeated.

My sons rec league U-12 squad could beat Binghamton.
I feel bad for Mark Macon. Seems like a good guy and is trying to do the right thing. Broadus really messed things up over at Princeton on the Parkway, did a LOT of internal damage with academic departments, etc. Burned some good people who got a lot of pressure from the President on down to tweak or bend rules for players. The University deserves to run the table in reverse, but from my first hand experiences and contacts over there, Mark Macon and the current bunch of kids do NOT.
So, net, I will go with BU to run the table in reverse this year for trying to do what pretty much every other program did/does.

Gotta think that the competition favors Murray State to run the table in the regular season...not saying 'Cuse won't...but its road at end of regular season is going to be tough...

I thought the same before going to a few games ( Im originally from NEPA just south of the NY border originally up until graduating from cuse in 06) when visiting the folks. My dad has season tickets. Watching the games.. Macon is completely uninvolved. Half the time he calls a T.O. and just stands around not even drawing up a play. Either he doesn't care, is embarrassed to be a former NBA guard coaching the worst D-1 squad in the country (but needs the money) or is just not meant for coaching.
I last saw a game last year against New Hampshire where they absolutely should have won big as they were dominating.. but as UNH came back to take the lead there was no emotion, no instruction and he sat down slumped backwards like some of the half inebrieted students. Im sure the total house cleaning after Broadus has a little to do with it but still... its painful to watch a team have no leader.

Disappointing to hear that - he did a GREAT job coaching up a decimated team after Broadus was canned a couple years ago. I only went to one game, but he was much more involved then than he is now. Not sure what happened.
My money is on Binghamton going winless - the only teams they have a remote chance of beating are UMBC and Hartford. Syracuse will lose in the regular season, Murray State in the NCAAs...So the answer will be that we'll have a winless team longer than an undefeated team this year.
