L.M.A.O.

And Syracuse is just a highway that deer use to get from Utica to Canada.

He's right in the sense that we are close to NYC and Boston. Now if you are looking for a stop-over Motel 6 on your way to Toronto, syracuse might be your place.

Maybe they should hire Snoop Dogg for their cool and collected coach.

Motel 6 wouldn't even locate in Syracuse

We really need to schedule SU every year at MSG the last Saturday in January.

Nah I hope UConn uses MSG to play a real team
Not a loser from a P3 conference

Exactly. I remember in 2011 when I kept thinking, "surely they cannot keep winning and surely they won't actually win it all". And sure enough. Hate having that feeling again now.

Just looked at the ‘Cuse board, and there’s at least one guy speculating that Ajax isn’t happy at UCONN and is under the belief that he’ll portal’s to the Orange next year joining Starling from ND, making them a potential top 15 team. Another poster did have the good sense to comment that Ajax wasn’t in the portal so that seemed to be more wishful thinking than anything real at this point

If you follow what they think about Jackson you’ll see they don’t know what they think about Jackson

 

[CL82]

Paying that much money for an SU degree is a special brand of stupid

Actually, it’s more affordable than it appears when you take into account the exchange rate into Canadian dollars.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Syracuse is so insignificant that they are not worthy of even having this thread here. Not even worth my attention.

We should do what the rest of the old guard ACC schools do -- ignore them.

The only time they get talked about is in discussions about how many of the added schools diluted the conference.

If AJax isn’t happy here, he’s a better liar than Ed Cooley. Kid bleeds blue

I hope he's so damn happy that he turns down the opportunity to go 2nd round. I'm seeing him in more and more mocks as a mid-to-late 2nd round pick. @Coach00 needs to step up that NIL game and find a toy manufacturer that will create a Transformer where AJax turns into a fire breathing flying octopus or something.

 

[ucp990411]

Went to the board of fruit and they hate our guts. Kind of like the high school freshman hating the high school seniors who scoop up all the pretty girls. They are obsessed with being like us. The thing is in 100 years when we are all dead and gone they will be sitting there with one championship and we will be in double figures. Mid major team stuck in a mid major league and now they are stuck with Red Autry as the head coach. Don't you think they would have been better off hiring a coach with head coaching experience? But maybe nobody was interested in performing CPR on a dead program?

I love their shtick over there that guys hate playing for Hurley.

This is Jackson, by the way: "He believes in us. I think he's the best coach in the country. I would never want to play for anybody else." He might be an Ed Cooley level liar but that sounds pretty unequivocal to me.

And: "Best coach I've ever played for," added Hawkins. "I love him to death. I'm so glad he gave me this opportunity to come play for him. Playing in the tournament with him, going to the Sweet 16, it's a great feeling."

 

[August_West]

I love their shtick over there that guys hate playing for Hurley.

They've been doing that since day 1 of Hurley, "Can't imagine how a kid could play for that psycho" ..........meanwhile Hurley beat them head to head for Akok and for Jackson, and I think someone else too. They didn't care to look any deeper at the time because then they would find no answers except the truth about Boeheim staring them right back in the face. Now that he's gone and Boeheim turned most of them against him, they will loosen on that a little, but just a little. They are, always were, and always will be pretty delusional. Whether Autry can coach or not they will do a bit better, because a broom could out recruit Boeheim, but we will still beat them head to head more than not, and they will still maintain their preconceived notion.

Funny how PC & SU fans hate Andre and say he sucks “but” if they are dumb enough to think they could actually get him they love him

That someone else was Clingan. Univ. of Southern Canada was his first offer, which came in August 2019, and the dolts on that board actually believed they were the front runner because SU offered him first. Laughable when I look back at it all.

And then soon enough Kadary Richmond wisely chose to get off the sinking ship so they've taken their lumps. Then Boeheim. What a mess. I miss the rivalries with cuse, pitt, wvu, cincy, so I check in on how things are going with the old mates. It's pretty clear why our old foes up north hate UConn so much, and I enjoy every minute of it. Delicious

I still cannot fathom why anyone would voluntarily go to Syracuse for any extended period of time.

It's the place where you'd get stationed if you got caught hitting on the Lieutenant's wife during basic training.

“He’s a great emotional leader, somebody that you can really follow,” Jackson said. “He’s a great role model. He’s somebody that puts 11 months a year into this. It’s not like some other coaches at other schools where they’re here or there. He’s here for us the entire year. Even when we did lose in the first round, he was still there for us.

“He believes in us. I think he’s the best coach in the country. I would never want to play for anybody else.”

I guess falling to "doormat of the conference" level has REALLY put them towards a psychotic break. They're hearing voices over there.

Clingan would have been much less effective at Syracuse on the defensive end. Steph Curry and moving the 3-point line back to International standards has rendered the true 3-2 zone (as opposed to match-up zone, or as Raf would call it, "zone with man2man principles.") obsolete.

From the moment a 10 year old can hit the rim with a regulation free throw, they are practicing their long distance shooting. Even lower division players can hit an unguarded 22 footer 40% of the time.

Autry would be foolish to stay loyal to zone defense.

• Their coach destroys his own players multiple times in press conferences for no reason
• Their coach craps all over reporters who ask legitimate questions and then belittles those reporter's physical attributes
• Their coach craps all over the city who has hosted their conference tournament forever
• Their coach accuses other coaches in their conference of buying teams for no real reason
• Their coach puts his sons on the team, then proceeds to play them 37-40 minues a game while not playing equally talented players at all
• Their coach agrees to retire and puts in a transition plan to make his good friend and long time assistant the next coach, then decides he doesn't want to retire and completely screws over that good friend

But our coach is the psycho.


Syracuse logic.

For what it’s worth I’m gonna miss knowing that Finger Lake State will perseverate on using an antiquated defense. It was their big niche; along with having the biggest doosher of a coach in D1
