Official Syracuse Unintended Hilarity Thread

[GG]

... that Syracuse has Hurley on their list to possibly take over after JB leaves. For a fan base that looks down on us, they can't stop thinking about us.

Boynton vs Hurley, 6:30 pm tonight on FS1

This will give the 80% of this board who never watch other games a chance to watch two coaches in action who's names are being thrown around Orange Nation.

Why would Hurley leave UCONN to go Syracuse??

He wouldn’t. They are delusional and that thread is hilarious.

Reading that thread on the Syracuse board is both hysterical and VERY satisfying. It's worth a minute of your time if you haven't read it.

He wouldn’t. They are delusional and that thread is hilarious.

There’s a certain satisfaction in knowing that their main reasoning could be “he has experience taking a failing program and turning it back into a contender like he’s doing at UConn”

I loved reading the Cuse fan lament that none of their players would start for us but take it a step further, none would even be in our rotation.

They talk like they were the ones ahead of us and we overtook them. That was 40 years ago. Not a happy group. Is this Boeheim’s last year?

Home Attendance - a Great Job

Ok….this message board is down right depressing. One post jarred me in particular that stated this program can’t attract a top head coach and will be forever mediocre. So I sat back and thought to myself…that is absolutely ridiculous. You have a shiny rehabbed basketball stadium that holds over...

Someone needs a geography lesson.

I did not start watching UCONN (or Big East) basketball until the Mid90s, but I never thought of Syracuse as an elite program. I thought Syracuse was up there with UCONN, but we obviously surpassed them in terms of national championships. It is unclear to me why they seem to think they are better than us, when the metrics appear to be quite even (of course we trounce them at the National Championship level). I know they get more money in the ACC, but they are an outlier in a southern conference. I know football drives the bus, but the move to the ACC has done little for their basketball program. No natural rivals. The fan base seems a bit delusional, so it’s nice to see those inflated egos being brought down a few notches.

To be fair, it’s just a couple people over there that think Hurley is a candidate. Most have enough common sense that it would never happen.

I saw in another thread and on Reddit before that they would try to make a run at Oats. That’ll be a A LOT of money to try to pry him away from Bama, but that would actually be a good hire for them and annoying for us. Again would Oats even want to leave Bama? Probably not but money talks and he has a network up north.

That’s not even the lunacy of it. The majority of them say they don’t “want” Hurley as if theyre above him. Their arrogance is astounding

Oats will move but not to that dumpster fire. He is on the blue blood trajectory.

I know exactly how he feels! I mean, if we hired Nick Saban, I’d be totally out for football, just men’s, and women’s basketball, hockey, and baseball for me! (yeah, I know Hurley’s not Saban but the Canadians have as much chance of hiring him as we do of hiring Sabin.)

They are a delusional bunch over there with an occasional point of sanity.

If I recall correctly, Dr. Bombay used to post on The Boneyard from time to time. He seems less delusional than the rest.

 

[CL82]

Lol reading the Syracuse board is just the best right now.

I know we would totally suck if we didn’t actually, you know, bringing recruits.

I love the UConn lapped us comments. You see that from time to time over there. Their despair is just so sweet.

. Is this Boeheim’s last year?

Let’s hope not.

I hope he coached for 10 more years

Can we start crowd funding an extension fund to donate to Syracuse?

That thread is pure gold. They hate Coach Hurley so much because he coaches UConn. It's glorious.

syracuse thinks they can hire hurley

 

[elmcityboy]

We have no one who would start for UCONN, including Jesse.

this was my favorite quote from that thread

 

[HailUConn]

this was my favorite quote from that thread

And that’s coming from a tad more sensible yet still delusional fan because the truth is that none on that team would have a chair on our bench.

And, ya know, since their last memory of him is this:

 

[EROCK CONN]

The Syracuse admin., through its misshandling of the Boheim situation, has shown an incredible level of ineptitude. If they don’t have a top list of replacement basketball coaches in their top drawer, if not then on the top of their desk, and Dan Hurley’s name isn’t in the top 5 of that list, then that admin is even more incompetent then we thought.

I am in no way suggesting that Hurley would entertain the thought of going there, but DH should absolutely be on Syrapuke’s short list of potential replacements.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

That’s not even the lunacy of it. The majority of them say they don’t “want” Hurley as if theyre above him. Their arrogance is astounding

In fairness to them if they end up missing on Jay Wright or Popovich they'd probably accept Hurley as a consolation.

 

[Scrutineer]

I’m enjoying the demise of all of our former conference mates who have fallen off a cliff:
Pitt, cuse, lville and BC

It’s like the karma train is stopping and backing back over them all

Don't forget Miami and VaTech........

It's one of the last stages of grief..........
