Poll on the Syracuse Board

[temery]

I was/am praising what I perceived as a more direct & blunt statement vs just reciting your position plainly.

Im still lost.

If we don't get to laugh at them when we're down, because we're down, and we don't get to laugh at them when we're up either... I just reject a world where that's the situation.

Oh, we laugh at them when we're down. How can you not laugh at a coach who digs for gold during games?

Im still lost.

To be very specific, normally I feel like (and I could be wrong) you'd post something softer similar to reply to me; 'Please don't bring crap from other boards here, it is a waste of bandwidth.'

Its all love, I thought your original post was more blunt or fishy-like (assume in this instance that is a compliment) because you humorously and accurately stated that it was weak-arse.

Something about orange triggers UConn basketball fans. For the women fans it was Tennessee and for the men's fans it's that Canadian team.

Currently the women's fans have lost their animosity towards Tennessee. That program has sunk to a sustained level of mediocrity. Plus the UConn women's program has struggled recently with injuries and not having won an NC in a while.

I'm hesitant to celebrate Syracuse's position. They seem to have a correlating year of success following the times we make these types of threads. Of course the situation has been the reverse. Every time they think we're done and create their own threads stating this and celebrating it we prove them wrong. It would be poetic justice that they had us buried two years ago only to observe that we have arisen like a phoenix and win In Phoenix after winning in Houston.

To be honest, Syracuse winning the NIT would actually be a good thing for them given the program is basically rebuilding. That’s all I got.

It's amazing how so many old-time Big East rivals have fallen on hard times.

Shudda never left. And that especially goes for bc. I’m pretty sure I posted this before but BC (I’m pretty sure) has the distinction of going 0-16 in basketball in the acc conference and like 0-12 in football in conference in
the same season—-

My brother-in-law and his wife are both Syracuse grads and fans. Him more so than her. He is not a fan of anything UConn. So you can imagine some of the "discussions" that have occurred over the years.

I'm always happy when the Cuse is irrelavant. As is my wife!!!

Your wife is irrelevant?

13 national championships since the Big East began isn't really hype though.

I have trouble counting the ones fueled by the Afro and African American Studies Fraud at uNC.

Agreed about celebrating the demise of others. Not good karma, like Cam's outburst against the Marquette bench.

13?
Without looking it up, I have:
UConn - 4, we were in The American in 2014
Villanova - 3
Georgetown - 1
Southern Canada University - 1
Louisville - 1

What am I missing?
