Official Syracuse Unintended Hilarity Thread

[storrsroars]

Congrats to Cuse on winning the Men's Soccer National Championship. No small task to get quality soccer players to play there. Props where props are due.

2 > 1

2 > 1

3>1 if you want to include 1948 (pre-NCAA).

Well coached team

That would force me to recognize their Helms Trophies

Would it though?

Just to be clear, not sure anyone here really expected Syracuse to lose to KenPom #327 Monmouth. Does not change that they’re bad and we can laugh at them for it.

Yeah for me it’s a “hmm wonder if I should fade Syracuse from here on out”

You missed a ton of kwan not fading the from day one.

Cuse played Pitt at home..had a nice comeback, and still lost 84 to 82. The gift that keeps on giving...Jimmy B. RIP Cuse.

I turned it on for a couple of minutes when they were down 10ish in the second half. The place looked like and sounded like a morgue.

 

[Jimdish255]

Both teams and the officials were horrible. As far as Cuse is concerned the thrill is gone. And it ain't coming back.

This game made me nostalgic for the old Big East. It would be fun to be in a league this year with old rivals Syracuse who sucks and Pitt who still chokes.

Attendance was listed as 15,400, but it sure didn't look like it. I know the place huge, but still . . .

Thats based on sold tickets. There was maybe 10-11 in there. Before we laugh, announced attendence is usually done that way by us too, there have been announced 9k games at XL that were closer to 5.

It looked like the same amount of fans when they had their last home game

 

[UConnSwag11]

Half their board still wonders why they’re not at at the same level as us and the other half says they’ll be able to turn it around quickly like us.

They’re not sure why players don’t want to go play there

 

[Chin Diesel]

Pitt did everything in their power to lose that game in the last 4-5 minutes. Syracuse was forced to extend pressure full court and extend the zone in half court. Pitt had so many open lanes and opportunities but had no one who could recognize the advantage which gave 'cuse time to recover and reset. It was a tragedy of errors.

 

[uconndogs]

That zone is not a way to get ready for the NBA and I doubt it's all that much fun. JB will cut off is right arm before he abandons it.

Oh, I think most of them know.

 

[HitDog]

Recently watched the 1990 BET Finals. The surprising thing is they played mam to man most of the game. Packer even mentioned that just switched to the zone like he was surprised. So when did he switch?

I mean they could turn it around quickly with the right hire when Boeheim leaves. Realistically it will take one or two duds or they’ll just never find someone to bring them back to what they used to be. But they have the money to bring in a good coach. Maybe they’ll strike gold, maybe not.

 

[Huskyforlife]

They can turn it around quickly. The transfer portal is a huge help to rebuilding teams. They're a large brand in a good conference with ties to the most relevant sports network. Boehiem is holding them back, nothing else.

Agreed - I think being in the ACC from a fit standpoint doesn’t help, but if they find a good coach they can recover.

Syracuse has a thread talking about how Hurley is a possible candidate for their head coach. Like we’re a URI level stepping stone and they still say they would hate to have him. Never mind he already gets paid the same as Boeheim and our 3 national championship’s since their last. Our current rankings, recruits and everything else aside.

I will say they have a nice campus (surrounded by a s*it hole of Poverty) but they’re living in a bizarre reality.

I plunked a bet down on Miami to win at +200 when they were down by 7 early 2nd half. Love the Orange!

Isn’t the surrounding area covered by snow the entire year?

The mere sight of Falk College had me thinking Falk U!
