Have to admit I love lurking their board after a night like last night, but let's be honest, there haven't been a ton of opportunities to do that for a while.

The problem with Syracuse fans (at least on that board, because frankly most Syracuse people I've met in real life are cool) is it's never about the basketball. It's just "why do we play them and give them exposure" "they're a mid major" "they're going to die on the vine" "ACC vs AAC" crap. That board absolutely loves that we were the last one standing in the musical chairs game, and would like nothing more than for the program to keep fading into total irrelevancy.

I never understood that. Heated rivalries make watching the games fun. If we had gotten into the ACC and Syracuse got stuck in the American I wouldn't be rooting for them to then die out. That's just...idk what that is. Frankly it's just mean spirited at its core, beyond any sports-hate. I can't respect people like that.
