Most schools we play going forward will have fans that can Spell Rivalry.

From slide #5:

"Despite winning just one national championship, the Syracuse Orange are routinely in the mix for a title. The team has achieved five Elite Eight appearances since 1987 and reached the championship game three times."

So getting past the Sweet 16 5 times in 26 years is the definition of "routinely in the mix"???
How about 9 times in 23 seasons??

i heard that the reason syracuse wears orange jerseys is because they want to be noticed and they are afraid that with all those early exits from the ncaat that they will be looked over.

After reading that blurb, I figured a Cuse fan must have written it.

Under performing and early exits will always keep Syracuse relevant. America loves "upsets"!

Fixed it- Syracuse: always in the mix to get upset by a 15 seed.

I hope that we get into a real conference soon. That will ease some of our Syracuse-anxiety.

I for one will miss the Cuse games. I can get over playing turds like Seton Hall and DePaul but ill really miss Cuse, Pitt, Georgetown, Nova and even St Johns and PC even though they half sucked for a decade plus.

Without Syracuse we would never have moments like this

Year after year I do stupid stuff....like picking other BE teams to hold their own on my tournament sheets....

Year after year, folks like Syracuse and Pitt blow whole sections of my brackets straight to .

I look forward to the time when I will pick Syracuse and Pitt to take their (predictable) early exits, without over weighing how well they played against the Huskies in the two or three times that we played....

I welcome their entrance into the ACC... Where they will join BCU in mediocrity.
