I’ve seen OX run from the cops, he can move.he's still got stride and he's still got reach . don't count on it. he'll pop you from across the room.

OrangeXtreme used to run from MARJAX to Orange Julius in 10.6 seconds.
And it’s hard to pass Baskin Robbins AND Fanny farmers without stopping….Put some respect on my name when you say that.
That was all uphill.

I hate to say it butWatching UConn right now….they would beat us by 40
so Colgate and Cornell st Bonny folded years ago ? it's you who needs the economics lesson.
Funny thing is I’d do all that on a heartbeat. Obviously not happening, but a cool hoops conference with a tourney in nyc? You could blow it all up on the football side. Fran has been an incredible breath of fresh air, but when hoops is right, nothing else comes closeSure thing.
Just nuke the football program, tell Coach Fran "thanks but no thanks", and give back all that NIL money.
I think you've got a better chance of the United States begging the UK to take us back as a colony.

Watched some of the PAC12 tourney yesterday and that tourney is lame. Half filled stadium and just not that exciting of a feel through the TV.It's only a cool tournament if you win.
ACC in DC is a great event, sucks for people here because we don't win.

Big east and ACC were filled with energy. You’re correct if we made the finals that place would’ve been lit up with orange and it would’ve been an amazing atmosphere just like it was last night

Syracuse football and basketball would be as relevant as the programs at St Bonnie’s and Colgate had we stayed in the Big East - that is 100% correc
well we are irrelevant. 2023 saw no dance. no bowls and no lax invite. and your suggestion that any team not associated with the ACC is doomed is nonsensical. big east is and was the more geographically logical choice and frankly st bonny , colgate, and cornell give our sports program all they can handle. they actually played in some postseason last year. much better fit my friend. we suck in the ACC. fact.Interesting you chose schools who are utterly irrelevant in college athletics

One 5* is not enough to compete with Duke or Carolina. Our recruiting tanked when we left the BE. Some say that JB lost his fire. That goes against everything we know about him. Fact is that we lost tons of recruiting battles that we used to win. We even spread a wider net and still got stood up at the alter.Because Duke and UNC can't collect every 5 star, lol. We actually have a 5 star signed this class. How? Relationships w Straughn, an engaged head coach etc.
We are recruiting this year the same we recruited up until 2016. Getting players ranked 20-100. We were never recruiting with Duke and Carolina yet we somehow were better than both when we first came in the league. This argument you have is so insanely wrong. JB wasn't even running Division 1 practices at the end. I know it hurts, but JB was not a good coach the last 5 years of his career.One 5* is not enough to compete with Duke or Carolina.

Your right on some of that but your being a JB fanboy. He was just going through the motions for over the last 5-10 years. He wasn't going all out to get another title. He started his son by his Sophomore year, c'mon! Did leaving the BE play a factor? Sure, its possible. So did Sanctions, losing hop, not making staff changes, playing 100% zone etc. I would love to know when guys didnt choose SU, if the main factor was, "well they no longer play in the BE". I kinda doubt it. Take Isiaha Stewart. From Rochester, goes to UW. Why? His relationship with Hop. Like playing against Duke, UNC, UVA (national title in 18), playing on ESPN is not a selling point? We went to the ACC not the Atlantic 10. You should be able to sell what I just listed.One 5* is not enough to compete with Duke or Carolina. Our recruiting tanked when we left the BE.

The respective bigs at Duke and UConn turned us down. We are a fish out of water in the ACC. That is a major factor in our recruiting losses. As to the comment that Nova is now middling: they are a number 2 seed. If we stayed: we would still be a hoops power, our football team would be beyond repair and we would have had financial difficulties. We had no choice. Never the less, it was tragic for hoops.Your right on some of that but your being a JB fanboy. He was just going through the motions for over the last 5-10 years.

Nova is a number 2 seed in the NIT. Whoopie.The respective bigs at Duke and UConn turned us down. We are a fish out of water in the ACC. That is a major factor in our recruiting losses.

The Big East isn't the conference we left either. Jay Wright had a good run and left.The respective bigs at Duke and UConn turned us down. We are a fish out of water in the ACC.

Right, nothing says Big East like trips to Milwaukee, Indy and Omaha. From a distance, one would say those schools are a fish out of water, yet 2 of those 3 are thriving. The location is an overrated factor.Nova is a number 2 seed in the NIT. Whoopie.
Theres one former rival that is good. UConn.
But sure playing Creighton and Butler would have stopped JB from getting old.

Thank you. Also let’s not pretend the Big East is a better conference. It’s a media darling but since we’ve joined the ACC:The Big East isn't the conference we left either. Jay Wright had a good run and left.
The old days of Georgetown, St Johns, Villanova. Syracuse, Connecticut, battling are gone. Now you have so many teams that have no relevance to the east coast, it's a joke to call the Conference The Big East.
