No Syracuse schadenfreude?

oh...so now there's a post and time restriction. lol I thought that when I left the correctional facility I was free to do as I pleased with my time. Thanks for saving me from a parole violation. Bless you.

Lol, what the heck are you talking about? Really, it’s getting to the point that I kind of feel like someone should do a welfare check on you.

 

[CL82]

Congrats on your Acc banner and many helms thropies lol.

Must suck to know it will be 4>1 for a while.

That would be 4>1* since the bulk of that season was forfeited due to the Syracuse decade long triple scandal of drug use, pay for play, and academic fraud. There will always be an asterisk next to that natty.

Let me opine a contra-intuitive theory: it ain't about SU as an institution any more. That University is just an overpriced ticket for mostly urban kids from greater this or that - NYC or Westchester or LI or Jersey or DC. Not the highest achievers; not the best & the brightest. Just a way station that was a fun place to party for 4 to 6 years. Colgate in Hamilton or Cornell in Ithaca actually have better minds and harder, more rigorous academics.

The region is really getting engulphed by ONE Indian tribe - the Senaca Nation. That place had grown immensely and makes money in all different economies. With innovative resort features in development today. More interesting that DisneyWorld I would say. Since the Carrier Dome is functionally obsolescent, maybe you just sell the whole kit & kaboddle to Roy the CEO. He'd replace Jim B without sentimentality. Improve your Lacrosse. Build a huge new modern arena for football and hoop to match Vegas. Give you dollars for a new Hockey East franchise which no other donor would fund. And drag those entitled kids away from the urban wretches you NYC alumni fear.

New York State is doing what they should have done in mid 1970s. Make Buffalo and Stony Brook Flagship State U. And then SU finds out what a Public Institution with bonding capacity can do to take your bacon away.

That sounds absolutely terrifying. Last I heard...SU wasn't the only overpriced institution which is why all these students want their loans erased. lol What's the matter with urban kids? Do you mean people like myself that grew up in New Haven? I could care less who went where and why and where they came from. In any case, sounds like a plan. Make it happen and the best of luck to you. And btw...I've never been to Disney World and as others will attest to on here...I'm probably not a hit at a party. lmao

On a side note, they’re currently a 2 point favorite against Wake today. I am not a gambling man, but this seems like the biggest stone cold lock of the century to take Wake and cash in.

Has anyone called checkmate?

4-1

And we're a lot closer to 5 than they are to 2

Excellent points. But you forgot to add Binghamton in paragraphs 1 & 3.

They’re giving out free money today 17-4 Wake Forest who has destroyed their last 4 opponents is somehow a pickem at Cuse.

I love both UAlbany + Binghamton; but you now have a new reality. There were 4 Flagship University Centers and now ... there are TWO. I actually teach Finance at UAlbany and have several family members who went to Binghamton; both are solid with good futures. The new reality is Governor Hochul is elevating UBuffalo and Stony Brook with great pushes of Capital and new programs. And frankly, they both deserve it. Sports fans should recognize that AAU research institutions with 30,000 plus enrollment will have athletic department ramifications. It was only 2010 when a Assemblyman from the Bronx tried to eliminate scholarship sports in SUNY. That Cuomo nudged a upgrade of 8000 seats at Stony Brook to the trash bin of Albany because he didn't like the Republican assemblyman's position on Gay marriage. So ... I am telling you: there will be a new emphasis. I hope UAlbany knows drafting like NASCAR

With this weekend's performance, the ACC's KenPom rating dropped below the Pac 12. Actually, the Pac is sinking, but the ACC is sinking faster.

With Houston and Cinci. Look out below.

That’s what happens when you live and die by the 3 I guess. Also, this aged well.

I’m on under 142.5 in our game. We don’t shoot as well on the road and DePaul struggles scoring at all. Seems high.

You’re so right on every point. The SUNY model was flawed decades ago. No need to support 60+ campuses, and some received more funding than they should have, based on legislators’ power in Albany. I think Binghamton realized about a decade ago that it couldn’t rely on the teet of state government to feed its budget. Stenger is the right guy for the job of private fundraising. Dynamic personality. The Events Center is the nicest in America East. And this new baseball complex, funded by a $60mil gift, will be one of the best college baseball facilities in the Northeast.
