OT: A Reason to Dislike Siena

[Hey Adrien!]

The MAAC adds another UConn villain to its coaching rotation along w/ Greg Paulus at Niagara!

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

In an issue of local interest that I'm sure very few people care about I'm really surprised that they didn't make something happen with Will Brown. Seemed to make almost too much sense.

He looks like if Mick Cronin had hair

 

[Hoophound]

His hair looks like a wig.

They changed their name and had a public competition. We submitted the "Vaussages". It didn't win, but the Siena Vaussages Merch and NIL would be killer now.

 

[Inyatkin]

I assume this is to set him up for the job he really wants in a few years?

HC at Colgate?

 

[Jaker]

GMAC!!

 

[Inyatkin]

HC at Colgate?

Was thinking Buffalo but this makes more sense

 

[FlakeyFoont]

Maybe he could name Eric Devendorf as an assistant and then I could dislike Siena twice as much.

Devendorf is actually pretty likeable these days.

Jeez really? Rehabbing Laettner's image wasn't enough?

IIRC McNamara was a legitimate 6'2 or so. He's about a foot taller than Cronin.

I dislike their fan base because of their unearned and, frankly, laughable superiority complex. I don't really care about any of their former players. Devendorf acted like a when he played at Cuse but he seems like an alright dude these days. Part of growing up I suspect.

 

[bobbygt]

Strange, but I never disliked McNamara. Stranger is that I liked and was rooting for Cuse to win it all in 2003 after uconn lost. Big East pride or something.

That’s all over now.

I blame the internet.

 

[OceanDoggie]

McNamara is a legend! Great career at Syracuse and represented the Big East well by taking the title.

 

[August_West]

Devendorf is actually pretty likeable these days.

He is. I had a good conversation with him a couple years ago. Cost me 15 bucks on Cameo. Was worth it, Can't even get a 5 guys burger for 15 bucks.

 

[RichZ]

I don't like this thread. My great-grand-daughter's name is Siena.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Hasn't moved the needle on my (non-)opinion re Siena, but the comic angles and timing are enjoyable.

A little disappointed to learn today that the university's spelling is different from that for Crayola's "burnt sienna" offering. "Burnt Crayons" had less of a chance than Vaussages.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Had to do a double take to make sure it was him but I guess I’m used to seeing him with a 2 on the top, 1 on the sides buzz cut.

 

[Hurleyman216]

So, will this take a bit of the sting away from Cuse fans when Sienna beats Cuse? Just curious. The two programs seems to be on similar levels…

 

[Chuck]

HC at Colgate?

Not unless he has much more success than his alma mater. After all, Colgate has gone to 5 NCAA Tournaments since 2019 while Syracuse has only been to 2 during that time frame.

That was my exact first thought. They could have been twins separated at birth.

 

[Chuck]

Back at ya. I was doubling down on the Syracuse insult saying even Colgate would be too good. He’s gotta take more baby steps before getting to that level. So maybe Syracuse IS the next step before he then goes to a major job.

Yeah, sure.

Pro tip: if you have to explain it, it's not a good joke.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

The best thing about Siena!

 

[Chuck]

Yours was hysterical. I’ll keep a look out for your one man show. Keep gate keeping loser.

Except just about everyone in Capitol District basketball circles finds Will Brown insufferable. He won’t get another job in the area.

 

[WrenchFan69]

We should be happy because this keeps Siena from trying to hire Kimani Young or Luke Murray
