OT: Meltdown In Canada

[McLovin]

With things only looking up for the UConn program, I popped over to the Syracuse board to see how things are going...

The meltdown that is starting to take place there is hilarious to watch. It's fun to see them start to come to grips with their reality.

This thread sums it up nicely.

Enjoy!

What is the state of Syracuse Basketball?

Is it strong? Are we going to relevant nationally any time soon? If you were giving a state of union on the program what would it be?

I thought this was going to be about the Canadian Junior hockey team losing in the world championship finals to the US a few days ago. ;-)

 

[UCSouth]

Too funny

 

[CL82]

Shouldn't that be what is the province of Syracuse basketball?

In any event, I think we had a winner at post #2:

Lol, it is glorious over there, a full meltdown:

 

[Palatine]

A poster named Scotch wrote this absolute gem. It's perfect.

"We are Providence but think we’re Kansas."

 

[UconnU]

To be fair. Jim has earned the right to coach his sons through his semi-retirement.

Step up from Providence since they have made deep tourney runs.... but not far off in what he said lol

Pitt was short-handed; four players including their best scorer Justin Champagnie were unavailable. Pitt went down by 18 (there's that number again) early in the 2nd half and came back to win.

I like this one:

".....We are a fire that was once blazing hot with wildly unpredictable flames and is now just some smoldering cinders waiting for someone to urinate on them to put the fire out...."

This joke deserves more recognition ??? I love it. Well played, CL, well played.

If I saw SU basketball on fire I wouldn't even stop to piss on it.

My favorite:

"I get we aren’t going to have like we did 2010-2014.
It’s just frustrating watching the same stuff happen almost every year."

Could you imagine the years you yearn for being a 4 year stretch when your rival won 2 National Titles.

I'd make Smores

One post mentioned some possible coaches to replace JB. If they're smart they'll pay whatever it takes to get Nate O away from AlaF-ingBama and they'll soon be on the same trajectory we're on with DH.
The job would be a great opportunity in a major league, with big crowds yearning for some excitement, but you'd have to find someone interested in lake effect snowstorms and cloudy weather from November to April in the midst of a wasteland of a rust belt economy, NY taxes and regulations, etc.
Hiring "one of their own" will probably be tempting because the AD might think it's safer and will allow a smooth transition from old regime to new (Jerry what's his name on the bench?) . But there were some rumblings on their site a few months ago regarding Jerry's failings in recruitment and how losing Mike Hopkins has hurt them.

I would, with a smile

Exactly, why waste the piss.

the knicks also came back from 18 down. I’ve started watching again

Not ruling out stopping to observe an extended, slow burn, eh? Hope nose picker stays another decade+

I would say Syracuse is significantly overachieving at 6-2. That team is terrible.

 

[The Viking]

At least they get to play half their games in Dixie including their conference championship...while we are stuck in MSG.

They' would never do it because of the Benjamin's, but the right move for them would be to do what we did. Put your best sport back in the Big East and create your own independent schedule for football. Syracuse will put together a pretty good independent schedule I'd think.

No.

Yeah although if you look at who those 6 wins are against you’ll realize it’s just normal Boeheim out of conference cupcake eating...even though a bunch didn’t go down too easily

agreed that team is terrible. Bryant should’ve beaten them

I saw the schedule. They are still overachieving. This Syracuse team is terrible.

When the Coach's unathletic son is not close to one of the team's biggest problems, you know they are bad.

 

[The Viking]

No.

No what

 

[olehead]

Fan on there said we are Providence, but think we are Kansas. Hilarious, somewhat true, try URI on a good day with a much larger fanbase.
