It's a Tee shirt. They didn't erect a statue.

And if UConn was number #3 and the #2 and #1 teams lost, how much speculation would there be on the Boneyard about moving up to #1. Stop pretending it means nothing. Good for SU.

Huge difference between speculation and celebration. If a team had a down start to the year and was on the verge of breaking into the top 25, there'd be a ton of talk about it. But no one would be making any shirts

I suspect this was not the team's or Boehim's idea/wish. If the whole university (i.e. students) wore them for a day or so, it would mean something. Its just fun and school pride, nothing more. UConn doesn't need to do this, but I give Cuse a pass, its not like they get to do this often.

After 2 weeks they have a tee shirt to paint in, or wear as a pajama.

Its Syracuse, its not depaul, they've been in this situation before. Its funny they would make a t shirt celebrating being in First place which could change numerous amounts of time over the season. I just think its funny to wear something that could change so rapidly like as wearing what the Stock Market was at, at 1:52 pm on December 13.
 
The way I look at it...will this shirt stand the test of time? If I see someone wearing a Syracuse #1 shirt, 12/12/2011 in 5 years, will I find that not pathetic? (probably not).

Some enterprising capitalist is making a few dollars off the #1 ranking. What are you guys a bunch of commies?

Biggest capitalist nation in the world is communist. Capitalism and Communism are no longer mutually exclusive.
 
....I remember the first time we moved up to #1 in the mid 90's. We beat the orange at the Dome. My friends and i were so psyched after the game...cranking music, drinking MORE beer....then, the following weekend, Villanova came to Gampel and...THUD!!!!

ESPN analysts are really socking it to Syracuse for their weak schedule

It does mean nothing. What do they give you for being number 1 now? All that matters is who is number 1 at the end of the year. The only thing that it does for you at this point in the season is put a target on your back. Good for them, I agree with you there, but at the end of the day no one remembers who was number 1 in December.
 
I'm not sure how official any of these rankings are.

Their ability to trash-talk with all the going down on their program is remarkable. Truly amazed.
 
This is similar to Pitt (scum) raising their "Big East Regular Season Champions" banner at the end of last year. Whoop-de-freaking-doo.
 
I've no issues with the shirts. In fact its a good way to generate buzz and revenue. I wish our AD thought like that.

Hey - everyone has rafters - not everyone has national championship banners. They had to put something up there....

From a marketing standpoint, fine. From a program standpoint, why? I can sorta understand Pitt doing it - it was the first time ever for them. Cuse has been there.

I'd be pissed and embarrased if UConn did something like that. All it says is less than a third of the way into the season, we managed not to lose to inferior competition. It's ridiculous to be celebrating #1 in December. It's ridiculous to be celebrating #1 at the end of the regular season. Embrace it and like it, but don't print T-shirts that you'll be embarrassed to own in April.

They actually banned me for that. That is the weakest banning I have ever heard of.

I'm sure if UConn were ranked #1 this early in the season, it might occur to the Athletic Dept to print up shirts, but I imagine just thinking of what Calhoun's reaction might be would make them think better of it.
 
i talked with my roommate from college 2night who is from cuse country and is a diehard just like im a husky fan...he said that most ppl are mad that this t shirt was ever made up there. the whole act like you have been there before thing and the have class stuff etc. we shared the same opinion. if it was the students who wanted to do the tshirts and wear them in the student section for the next game thats fine, let them have some fun. but the way they went out to everyone and the bball team took pics with them is to much. its not like harvard being #1 or something, were talking cuse who is a top 15 prigram all time. just silly.

i was banned for less. syracuse is easily the most sensitive and least humerous fanbase in the big east. i'm sure they will get along famously with the fans of BC and Miami.
 
this thread started out well, with plenty of irrational hate over a t-shirt. unfortunately, it took a turn toward rational in the middle, but it is starting to rally. entertaining nonetheless.

When does Syracuse hand out the medals for being a student?
