Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 4582880, member: 60"] This is pretty much where I am. I've grown into a much bigger NBA fan. Started to really turn when Melo got drafted and now I'm deep into the NBA vs college. I'm still a Syracuse fan, obviously **points to all my posts on this board** I agree re March Madness, that's cool and always entertaining, especially the first weekend. JB frustrates the giddy up out of me, but I'm honestly stuck between between frustration, apathy and a bit of sadness for him and the program, overall. And for the latter, as I've said before, JB has been in my life... my whole life. I have, on more than one occasion, said "thank god for Jim Boeheim, all my other teams suck". When Cuse won the chip, I was in grad school, surrounded by fellow die hards, weeping and the first two people to call me were my parents because they knew how much it meant to me. I was a fan of Cuse from literally my first memories. Grew up in upstate, went to school there primarily because I had fallen in love with the school through my sports fandom. I hate, hate, hate seeing JB on this numerous years down slide, but it frustrates me to no end to see the lack of ingenuity and brilliance that, at one time, made this man one of the best coaches of all time. It doesn't exist. It's gone. Filled with the rantings of a man who is a shadow of the best version of himself. If he were switching up assistant coaches, banging the drum on the recruiting trail, embracing the new world order of the NIL and portal like I've literally seen him do in the past to adjust to the evolving college game (there was a point where he basically mastered the two and done for a few years it seemed like and he clearly knew how to feature Melo his one year), maybe I would feel different. At this point, everyone is culpable. Chancellor, AD, JB, BoT, the deity of your choice, the freaking winter when it snows too much and the summer when it's too dang hot and humid. I dunno. But unless he is visited by the ghosts of Cuse basketball past, present and future and wakes up a brand new man, he's got to go. And I hope it can be done respectfully and joyously, but I don't see that right now. [/QUOTE]
