Cant control what former players do long after they leave. How is this relevent. About 45 % of the rest is totally accurate. Got anything credible besides something posted on a Georgetown fans Facebook page like it said lol?
Albanycuse All fan rivalries aside (but I hate your program, lets be honest), you guys have a very nice team this year. That was a solid, plucky win against Duke. Seriously. This cuse team is loaded with some poised players.

So I do have a no kidding, serious question then. You guys are number 1 in the country. You right now are locked into the overall number 1 seed, which means that just"playing to your seed" in the tournament is winning the NC.

Historically Boeheim has trouble playing to their seeding although the last couple years have improved that a little.

My question is, considering how loaded and how well Syracuse is playing right now, how disappointing will it be if they don't take home the hardware?

Connecticut banned from 2013 post-season play for poor academic progress from its players. Seriously guys? I mean who does that?

Fab Melo does that. Isn't that why the NCAA has an ongoing investigation with Syracuse now?

I hear ya. Playing as the favorite in the NCAA's can be a daunting task. Just ask our 2006 squad.

Its good to know, because I am anticipating having the following moment sometime in mid to late march .

Facts dummy.

No you are an idiot for missing the point completely.

Btw, "Provision of substantial cash gifts to several student-athletes over a period of four years by representatives of the university`s athletic interests,`` was one of them."

Not about UConn that quote.

It should be noted that the suspension of Syracuse forward James Southerland earlier this season was a result of the NCAA looking into the men’s basketball program. Perhaps the most striking quote in Dodd’s report is from a source with knowledge of the investigation:

“Throw a dart at the [NCAA] Manual [and you would hit a violation by Syracuse].”

No you missed my point it was a figure of speech. You "forgot" Calhoun had to terminate his relationship with the Uconn booster who paid him.

Here are some facts. You haven't played anyone on the road. Four of your last five games are on the road. UVA and Duke are going to beat you, and maybe FSU too. You will be limping into the postseason.

Oh, and 3 to 1. Never gets old.

Seriously albany go back with your kind…….there's nothing but championships and fans of teams who go deep into the NCAA tourney here, a lot more than most, especially the Cuse. Nate Miles, APR vs Bernie Fine banging boys in a room next to JB on the road? Andre Hawkins banging cheerleaders from another school when they said NO? Billy Edelin?The list is long and full of things much worst than you could possibly bring to the table here…….and the things swept under those rugs up there because you have 2 reporters who actually care about writing about the team, not 30………still want your team to be as good as UConn sometime? Find some fans who have the intelligence to play here first and then come back……..maybe you can actually talk basketball, although knowing the morons on that board you'll need to go elsewhere to make that happen…….

Go Catamounts!! LOL…..idiot!

Your conference is mediocre. Cant deny that. Your conference is the titantic. You will have the same 3 NC's 50 years from now.

By the way did you watch Pitt and Miami tonight? You want mediocre? Then I guess you'll need to watch the AAC because that my friend brought basketball back 50 years - they're awful and at this point the ACC will be lucky to get one team to the Sweet 16…..Lord knows it will be a surprise because you guys never get the directions to the Sweet 16……..

What about the $6,000 in improper benifits. Who's coach besides yours get suspended for 3 conference games for violations?

Yes sir 22 years ago for things that are probably ok these days. We're arent talking last year for academics . And Nate Miles. These are recent.

Facts dummy.

What exactly in what I am responding to is a "figure of speech." If you are talking about "that are probably OK these days" well that's the first time I've seen that used as a figure of speech. Also blatantly wrong. For that matter, I think I showed that "figure of speech" is actually true in the vast majority of UConns case with Nate Miles.

Where did you mention anything about Calhoun terminating his relationship, you continue to miss my point. Why should I address it?

Bernie Fine, I will address it.

The NCAA was never able to prove Calhoun or UConn funneled money through Nochimson. That after extensive investigation. If they had been able to, the penalty would have been much harsher than missing a few games for Calhoun.

Heck Cuse and Boeheim got a tourney ban for handing out cash, which was proven.

So, you know, facts.

Bingo! When all else fails predict the future in your favor. It must be true if you say so.

Your metaphors are off. The Titanic was the greatest ship built to date. Kind of like the Big East. Then it hit an iceberg and sank. The Big East too hit an iceberg, but unlike the blameless, inanimate iceberg that doomed the Titanic, the Big East sank because of the greed of its own members - that would be you. You scuttled the ship, you p#ssies.

But no matter, we found a liferaft and recruits seem to like it fine. We'll win more Ships and we'll always be well ahead of you.

So do I, would bet on SMU over Cuse in the Tourney....to quote Jimmy Boeheim on radio show today about 22-0 start....nobody cares about how you finish the regular season in college basketball today, all that matters is how your finish in the Tourney.

Uconn 3 and counting.....The Cuse 1 and done.

In a few years Syracuse will be bottom feeders in the ACC and UConn will be clearing space in the rafters for banners 5 & 6.

I had 17 likes on that board. I wonder what happens to them. Do they just float out into the nothing of the internet? I want my likes back. I miss them.
Well at least 12 of them floated to the "I went to the Boneyard" tee shirt post.

Doubt he was a pedophile. Unless more comes out. Pedophiles have a Sandusky type history.
True although they typically are pretty good at hiding it.
