Yes you are correct, my rooting for Syracuse over Indiana is my open admittance for my sympathies for rapist. I am glad you could put those two things together, I was worried before that the IQ had dropped too low in hear and I was going to have come out and say it directly.

Thank you. This is just a media hyped falsehood. Rest assured, Calhoun doesn't wan Boeheim to get near the amount of rings that he has, he's rooting against the Cuse as any true Uconn fan is

Still waiting to here what people think about who they think Calhoun, Ollie, kemba, shabazz, blaney would be rooting for. or other former players and current players.

Calhoun might root for Cuse, and vice-versa with JB. The rest of those former UConn guys, who knows? Cuse is no longer part of the conference that UConn will be in, so why should we or they root for them?

Do you think any Cuse fans would root for UConn in this situation? Me neither. (Maybe a handful at most for whatever personal reason.) They've hated us for years, simply for being good, winning NC's before they did, and thus "infringing on their rightful turf" in the Big East. Screw that. I can't root for them again - ever.

I have always found their relationship interesting. I think that they definitely were not very close in the early years. However when they both had battle cancer with in a couple years of each other, I think they had a common enemy and it created a quasi friendship. However it does appear that whatever friendship was there has been waning the past couple of years.

I definitely think it is a toss up possibly how the players and coaches feel when other teams do well. I do know when I played high school sports in maine the big divide was between northern and southern maine. I always rooted for our rivals when they played the southern maine teams. Because in a strange way, they were not my teammates but they had gone through the same stuff. It also kind of underscores the quality of competition you have been playing giving it validation. I do admit there were a few teams that I played against that were rivals that I did not feel that way, but that was usually because there might have been one player on the team in particular that I had gotten into it with, but mostly I would just wish them to get benched or have a bad game.

I am having a hard time not rooting for Syracuse. I know that they have of recent years especially this year become an enemy of the Uconn program in general, but I have always rooted for big east teams in the tournament when Uconn was out. To me this is the last hurraah, might as well enjoy today and hate when the season is done. I want to leave the reality of the collapse of the Big East. I just want two more weeks rooting and hoping the true big east goes out with a bang, even if there is no Uconn. I know the Big East did not allow Uconn to play in the tournament this year and that was ridiculous. But the big east was more than the Athletic Directors and administration. It was a sense of regional pride. It is part of my my childhood, it is something I want to hold on to for at least these last two weeks. Then let the hating begin.

That was really cool what you did there. You put down my post by comparing it to the humorous and entertaining antics of the beloved clown. Let see If I could do the same thing...check this one out. Somebody ban this student in a second grade language arts class....I know, not as good as yours, but at least I tried.

Very good analogy! I am impressed with your ability to stay above the haze and give insightful commentary on the dialogue in the Boneyard. You really should see if you could sit in for Dr. Phil at sometime. I think I saw an ad for a substitute at hotjobs.com

I guess it is pointless to post anything that is not vulgar, hateful, negative or immature. This reminds me of the time I was in this acoustic songwriting competition at the University of Maine. I had made it through the first two rounds of the competition. Then in the final round there was 6 acts. The absolute worst act out of all 6 won the competition, basically because it was on a college campus and all they kept on doing is swearing non-stop in between songs. and everytime they did, everyone cheered like they were intent on proving evolution that night. It is cool every once in a while to make a crass statement. We do not always have to make profound post that summarize the feelings of everyone. However I do not know why I am continually astounded by the level of immaturity that envelops this forum. Kudos to all those decided to put a smack down on my post. You have accomplished your mission, you once again decreased the IQ of the Boneyard. Respond as you may...I will not respond back.

Or like the time in 3rd grade for me, a national spelling bee where it missed the word "forty" in the 3rd round........WHO GIVES A RATS A**????? C'mon pal you will be appreciated more if you say CUSE BLOWS but I have them advancing because I think the B10 is overrated.......creativity will be your only hope of survival on this board after this attempt to interject a tourney thread......awful job on your part and please keep songwriting and the Boneyard separate from now on!!!
 
MaineUConnfan, where you lost me was when you said you'd root for the Big East. Syracuse is no longer Big East. Their back stabbing traitors and a team who has had some of the most hated college basketball players of all time.

No one should like Syracuse except Syracuse...and that's stretching it.

The money shot right there. Do you recall any Syracuse fans saying congrats after the 2011 championships (BET and NCAA)? Do you recall any Syracuse fans saying "you got jobbed" after the double jeopardy penalty imposed by the NCAA? Do you recall any Syracuse fans saying "that's wrong" when the UConn was excluded from this year's BET? As Bugsy states - me neither.
Now granted, it's a bit gratifying to be the better person, to be able to say congratulations to a rival and be sincere and not the least bit envious. However, being better than the typical Syracuse mouth-breather isn't much of an accomplishment.
All in all, this post has more troll written in it then anything else. I question the sincerity of the original poster if only because there is just that whiff (more like stench) of rotting oranges.

Actually,
You guys were kind enough to start TWO separate threads about PC postseason play. But we don't matter at all, right?

What does it matter who generic Syracuse fans root for?
I do have friends that breathe via both noses and mouths and are Syracuse fans that congratulated me (as if I were involved) for UConn's wins in 99, 04 and 11 and likewise I congratulated them during Carmelo's run. But so what. Are you honestly watching Team XX fans reactions to UConn's success as a determinant of how you feel about those teams? What does it matter who anyone is rooting for when they turn on their TV at home or go watch in a bar?

How about simple basketball reasons that we know Syracuse better and Indiana was pretty much a weenie team last night outside of Oledipo?

It used to be standard practice to root for your conference. This has gotten majorly screwed up with all the defections. However it could easily happen that some day soon UConn fans are applauding Dook or some other school for helping us get into a desired conference. Its harder to both like (So Cincy is the only conference school UConn fans are supposed to like now? Ugh) and hate other schools (Much as I loathed BC for being first domino, can't deny at this point that their move was superior to UConn's keep the conference together moves) these days.

So my compromise to this point was to root for Syracuse out of old conference habits, but then I'm also kind of hoping that it all gets stripped away via NCAA violations.

Syracuse wants to kill UConn basketball.

I know I said I would not reply...but this is a more acceptable response in disagreement. It is cool to disagree, but really is it necessary to to hate on each other here in the boneyard....If I am crazy for rooting for the cuse tonight(which I probably am) I will assure you, I will never root for duke, even if we enter the ACC...period. Also it made me think of an interesting question. Who do you think the following people would be rooting for in this game. Calhoun, Ollie, Kemba, Freeman, Blaney?
Expand ...

They would root for Duke, the school that wanted to add UConn. Not for Syracuse, the school that wanted to kill UConn basketball because it's threatened by them. I really do believe your priorities are not in order. Whatever happened between Duke and UConn in the past, we have to remember now that schools like Duke, UNC and U. Virginia are the only friends that UConn has.
