My favorite part to read was them saying that our path to our title in 2011 was too easy. If it's so easy to win a national title, then how come Syracuse has only done it once with a rent-a-player?

Our Final Four was pretty easy, I guess. But Arizona was peaking--they had the #1 pick and decimated the #1 seeded Duke--and it was in California--after we beat the 2 seed SDSU with Kawhli Leonard.

Kentucky, Butler, and VCU were not the best teams in the game--Pitt, Ohio State, and Kansas were. But Butler, VCU, and Kentucky did take those teams out.

speaking of delusional - where is that post that claims that if they re-started the football season - Uconn would win 8 games? I would love to read that again..

Butler was not great competition but the fact is, Arizona and Kentucky were probably the second and third best teams that tourney. Arizona destroyed #1 seed Duke. Annihilated them. And the others couldn't hang with Kentucky.

by the way, I don't think Duke has downgraded their championship of the year before over Butler. No one seemed to knock it when Duke won.

This is easily the lamest retort yet.

Has your brain frozen in the hinterlands or something? Thoughts move slowly up there. It should have taken you 1.3 seconds to say to yourself, "I need to come up with something better than that."

Lets not forget the 2011 BET. If Cuse had won the title game they could have easily derailed UConn. They, like everyone else, had their shot at Kemba and Company but couldn't take them down.

that's more of a theoretical conversation, whereas this thread is based more on the realistic fact that Syracuse has won only one championship and their fanbase can't grasp the simple math of [3>1]

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's probably on the football board?

They really do make shirts for just about everything...

If Cooney keeps playing like he is they'll be good. I think they're very similar to last year though not much better even with interior improvement. Fair is playing well but he hides in the lights a lot, he has a lot to prove as do the guards once league play starts. But they are pretty good.

As far as "hating" them they wear the same uni as Devendorf, MCW and other villains so what's to like? LOL......Cooney seems to be typical......

aren't you the one living in Rochester? It's a cloudy 55 here in the nation's capital..

I guess my biggest question is how can you drink water and look like that......he would have an excuse and I may even laugh if he was hammered and stupid, instead he's just stupid!

Eh, Kentucky only beat Ohio State by 2 and they squeaked by Princeton on a last second layup. They were good, but probably not the second or third best team in the tourney. Arizona, though, was unreal in that tournament.

Nope, Buffalo. 57 and sunny. Get away from DC, it's rotting your brain, which is no surprise.

If they’re such a great journalism and media school, why don’t they have Emily Noonan?

 

[caw]

They're a plucky messageboard. I admire their grit. They'll win a few internet flame wars, before it's all said and done.

Bam! A new Cuse T-shirt idea.

let's be honest, they plucky and talented but they'll come in second-place. It's the Syracuse way.

" That's your only argument, huh?"

" It's the only one that matters."

I like our chances of getting # 4 before they get # 2.

Oh wait, # 2 isn't coming, never mind.

Syracuse can't pooh-pooh us beating Butler. They were a 1 seed the year before and were knocked out by, uh, let me check here. Oh yeah, Butler.

Plus we played road games in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight (SDSU, Arizona). They went through Albany.

 

[Mots010]

As if national championships is the only measure of how our resume is superior to them....unless being 3rd fiddle in the Big East from 1980-1989 somehow negates more Big East regular season and tournament championships.

I know there are some great Cuse fans out there, but that board is painful.

All of the hard data used as criteria for being a great program has Uconn ahead of Syracuse.

Their delusion makes arguing with them pointless.
