Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4214299, member: 1414"] They are a rival and that rivalry will grow after last night. Syracuse had advantages. They were more consistently good than Villanova in the old days. We both claimed NYC as our territory (as does St. Johns). ESPN was packed full of Syracuse mooks. Despite Jim B and Jim C being good friends, we had no trouble hating Boeheim. The zone, the constant annoying zone. So many annoying players that were easy to dislike (except Pearl). McNamara, Devendorf, etc. Syracuse is a huge school and so you always run into some snotty Cuse fan everywhere in New England In contrast Nova came of age by beating a Georgetown team we didn't like in an epic upset, with players everybody liked. Rollie was like your Italian uncle or neighbor. Then Jay came in and remains a class act. Who hated Kerry Kittles? Pinkney? Foye? Pressley? Nobody. I kinda hated Scottie Reynolds. I don't run into Villanova alums or fans and when I do they don't act like idiots. [/QUOTE]
