Anyone see the fantastic discussion taking place on the Syracuse board?

Those tools talk about how bad they want our program to wither and die in the AAC more than they talk about wanting to win another title. And then they turn around in the same post and talk about how we're a mid major and not worth their time.

They're mentally challenged.

4 NC. 1 NC. Boeheim 38 years of trying, while KO takes all of 2.
 
UConn-Cuse Series
4-15 1956-1977
8-17 1/1979-2/1990
25-22 3/90-forward

There is a reason the orange like the the 1st 11 years of the BE & want too forget the next 22 years

They really love pre-BE-history

The upstate ny oranges like winning, but do not appreciate competition/rivalry
 
UConn and Syracuse...Both fanbases talk about the other fanbase more than any other school's fanbase. And those conversations drip with pure hate, with no quarter given and no point conceded. To deny the rivalry is to deny an obvious reality, and only deeply buried insecurity can possibly be the source of such denial.
 
The fact of the matter is that a UConn/Cuse game would draw Gameday to it, would be talked about for a week leading up to it, and would increase exposure for both programs immensly. How could that NOT be good for both programs? Anyone who denies that is fooling themselves. And the Cuse fan base calls us the worst? Pot, meet Kettle...
 
I think the thread was consistent with what you'd see here. some fans were flat out against playing. Others realized that both programs would actually benefit from playing in MSG.

I like the thought of playing SU in hoops, primarily because they have a decent team, the game would be competitive and would bolster the OOC schedule. Because of that, and our history together in the BE, the game would have national attention.

But, beating a BC team is something special. That never gets old. Wouldn't mind seeing BC more on the court or on the field.

Interesting enough it is Quse that " needs" to play us more then we need to play them. Yes- Uconn is in a hot steamy pile of a conference and Quse is in one of the two best conferences- however nobody gives a rats ass about Quse in the ACC.

If they wanted to stay relevant themselves they should have locked in a series when we cared more. Duke has long standing rivals- same with UNC and all the other top programs in the ACC.

Name a team in the ACC that Quse fans would talk about so passionately in a thread on their board? There is none- and that is the reason it would have been a great game to secdule plan and simple.

We hate them they hate us- perfect - let's play them every year- win or lose I would love at least a chance to spank them ( sorry bad choice of words when referring to Quse).

Having Duke and UNC on the schedule isn't a bad thing. Imagine Duke or UNC coming to Gampel (or even the XL). I think it would be a bid deal. Over time, those would become rival games.

"It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect!"
 
it's a game that should be played, but won't for a while, man I hope we get to the B1G

Was in Syracuse a few weeks ago. Went there for a wedding. The ceremony was at Hendricks Chapel on the SU campus. Most of the attendees stayed at the Jefferson Clinton Hotel. Loved the city, especially the art deco buildings, and it has a ton of potential. I jogged in the area on Saturday afternoon with my UConn Double Trouble tshirt on and no one said boo. Positive experience. Still those message board SU fans make me wish bad things on the institution and the city.
 
Duke won't ever play in Gampel or the XL unless it's a conference game. UNC will. Duke only plays OOC at Cameron or in a large arena "where our alumni can see us." It's a minor form of Boeheim type scheduling and they have done it for years.
 
The whole " the game does nothing for us" or " it doesn't help recruiting" are such lame excuses.

We hate them, they hate us and we'd sell the garden out every year for an annual game.

Only sheer pettiness keeps this game from happening.

One more point on recruiting, the fact that they use playing Georgetown in dc once every two years is some recruiting tool is hilarious. In the day and age of one hundred sports channels, internet, etc. the idea some recruit would or wouldn't come to cuse because they play in their home town 1 time in two seasons is hilarious.
 
We've never had a must have game on our schedule. Our rival has always been the best team(s) in the league at that given time because they stood in the way of championships. Even in down years, we were only a year or so away from contending.

So our rivals at different points were Gtown, Pitt, Cuse, Nova, Louisville. BC had the Dudley years, ND had a couple too. PC, Stj, Hall, RU never good enough. Marq, Cincy, DePaul, not around long enough.

So, for OOC, I want the best programs available. No need to beg former BE teams. If Cuse wants to play us at MSG, I'll be there, same for StJ. To me, that venue is more important than the team.
 
All I want over the next 3 years, is #5. I'm sorry but 5 in say 20 years places us as the best program since the field of 64 started.

If you are pimping your championship from the 60's, or even the 70's (especially if you weren't born then) you find another team to root for.

5 puts us past Duke overall, puts us past North Carolina and Indiana in current relevancy. Even Kentucky's 5 championships before 1980 wouldn't seem like much.

5 is an argument killer. I think we are going to get 5 and I think it will happen soon.

#4 was the argument killer.

#5 is just gonna be because we're UConn and numerically 5 follows 4.

No one still arguing is worth arguing with.

We could win the next five consecutive tournaments and it still wouldn't be an argument killer, because there'd always be a next season, and at some point we'd lose two straight in Texas or something and the argument would be "Have the 9-time champion Huskies taken a step back? Is it BC's turn to dominate New England?" or something stupid like that, and there'd be guys on a Syracuse board making APR cracks. It will never stop.
Four titles in 16 seasons is maybe the best run in the modern era. Just enjoy it.

This is the main reason Boeheim and K are such good friends. Both complete cowards when it comes to scheduling.

Agreed. I really dislike the BS being spewed by both sides.

I have many friends from ‘Cuse and UConn and our tradition would be to catch games at MSG, root for our teams, trash talk our friends, get drunk, and have a jolly good time. Isn’t that what college basketball should be about? We would watch the teams play on a blacktop in Harlem. F! conference realignment.

One more time: What does UConn have to do with SU?

SU played a very entertaining group of teams last season and not having UConn on the schedule did not diminish that at all. I can't recall anyone saying "hey we're 25-0 but it's meaningless since we didn't play UConn." And for the love of god who cares if UConn wins 25 more basketball titles or falls off the table...not one of those titles helped to get them to a P5 conference so I hope they enjoy all those electrifying games against Tulsa.

The cuse board is like stepping into insanity. Most ignorant group l've encountered . What planet are they on. 25-0 is all you here and what did that get them. I will reply to some of their nonsense for a few laughs and I will be banned shortly as the friars have also done.
 
I have my fond memories of being in the greatest BB conference there ever was. Unfortunately it's now over. Cuse is now in the ACC. We don't play them. SO WHAT. I see us in the same pre season tourney or in the NCAA's playing each other because Cuse won't schedule anything but beatable teams OOC. I get it. Good luck to you all and enjoy the college BB as it is. Enough penis measuring. Titles yada yada yada. Go outside and get your blood pressure down communing with nature. Please don't be internet trolls wearing UCONN Blue and White. Keep it classy......... That is all.
 
Quite frankly, I agree with the Cuse fans there is no benefit playing UConn - they like the usual cream puffs OOC schedule and the ACC will give them an OK RPI. Why get your butt kicked by UConn?
