The Colgate Game

[Hongster]

If Quentin is all about trying to keep his job over number of wins/losses I would get rid of him I were the AD of SU.

As a fan who has been following uconn since 2000 (age 7), and a current Syracuse student, it would have been nice to be able to see the huskies and stewie play in the Carrier Dome. It also would have been a pleasant surprise to see a game in person beyond the home games (CT) that align with school breaks. However, the athletic department at SU has always been "sketchy" and I have never been a fan of Coach Q. The women's program has virtually zero klout in syracuse. No student following and certainly no following from the residents of the area. I would venture to guess that syracuse didn't want another L on the schedule, more fans cheering for the huskies in their home venue, and at most 5k fans in the dome ( for people not familiar with the dome, 5k fans, a large draw for the SU women, would look virtually empty on TV). Unfortunate that I don't get to see stewie tonight and even more unfortunate that the SU program isn't capitalizing on the opportunity to advance their womens program.

Geno should have extended his invitation to Le Moyne College. It's Division II but, it's in Syracuse. And before all the negative press, it's not like the Orange people would win the either so, a blow out is a blow.

Gus , then Orange it shall be.

Looks like Syracuse and Tenn have more in common than just the color orange.

 

[UcMiami]

Not likely, as has been noted, their first 2 home games garnered 451 and 219 fans.

And all their fans are heading down the road to Colgate!

If you have a tablet, down load the Watch ESPN App/ then select SPORTS from the top Manuel bar, then select basketball. The Manuel on the right you can select among live/upcoming/replay depending upon the time you want to watch. It will show a lists of games. Then search for Univ. of Conn Vs XXX (W). Tonight's will start at 7 PM Eastern Time. I live in Vegas, so it will be 4 PM for me. Some times program may come on few minutes later than the posted time. Hope this will be helpful.

Speaking of Colgate:

I had a dim memory of someone associated with my beloved Knicks of the 50's being a Colgate grad.
And it was none other than Dr. Ernest (Ernie) Vandeweghe wonderful player and fine gentleman all of whose kids; Kiki, Coco and all of his others became champion athletes. He passed away last year.

What I didn't remember was that Bill Parcels was a grad as well

And Gloria Borgia, Andy Rooney, Bob Woodruff, Monica Crowley and many other luminaries in all fields.

A wonderful legacy.

And Mark Van Eeghen, the great Raider fullback

 

[UcMiami]

So I suspect there are a few scalpers outside the arena tonight. And I suspect that has never happened before at Colgate for a women's game.

Wow - I am guessing there are a lot of phone calls buzzing around the Syracuse campus right about now.

Syracuse Pres on the line with the AD: Did you know anything about this?! Who is in charge over there!! I want some answers!
PR Director on conference call with staff: OK, who has any ideas on how we spin this?! Anyone?! Anyone?! Bueller?!
Coach Q to his assistant: Anyone calls, I just left and you're not sure where I was headed or when I will be back!

TN fans were not exactly thrilled by the Suzie Arth/Michelle Voepel article about their loss and lack of 2016 recruits, but this goes a step further in the 'this is not good publicity' stakes. Michelle has taken the gloves off!

I'm guessing not. In any event, I'm pretty sure that any sport related call that doesn't include the phrase NCAA investigation is viewed as a good one.

I believe, KLM never got to play a game in So Cal..
Pacific, UC Davis and Stanford are nowhere near Anaheim.

There are 7 schools here locally (in So Cal) that could have accommodated UConn (KML): Cal-State Fullerton (Big West) would have been the closest to her home in Anaheim Hills, and her high school Mater Dei. There's also USC, UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Long Beach State (the pyramid- a very nice facility) & Loyola Marymount.

UConn is scheduled to play in Pauley Pavilion (UCLA) next season.

As a native of Upstate New York, I fully understand the situation with Syracuse..... perhaps Syracuse is embarrassed at the prospect of the hometown gal who did not choose to play for The Orange Nation..... perhaps they wanted to spite Stewie or Uconn.... those are possibilities, but one thing is for sure. Historically, Syracuse has been territorial (polite) or "homers" (truth)..... you look at the men's program..... and see the schedule they have played over the years..... I do not think they played ANY games, or semi-significant games outside of Syracuse before the New Year..... Many people think that is the reason they historically have failed in post season, because they played the cupcakes the first 2 months of the season, and then jumped into the cold water of conference play, but that lasts only 2 months.... and then the NCAAs come.....

The women's program I think does the same thing..... let's "test" ourselves with the juggernaut that is Coppin State, and gauge how our team stacks up..... who knows perhaps they will climb a notch or two in the Top 25 (which means nothing)..... Let's envelop ourselves in the aura that is "The 'Cuse" and ride the PR train..... bury by all means, do not let our program be exposed playing UConn, even when by scheduling them they could have done a "solid" for a great player and upstanding person in Breanna Stewart.....

I have no enmity toward Syracuse, but I certainly do know "how they roll"...

I was thinking along the same lines and just want to add that you can't fault them for thinking that; look at all the success their mens team has had 1 title and they had to cheat 3 different ways to get it.

I'm just lovin that the AP piled on
To Syracuse (in their round-up of the game)
for their low-life, chicken-crao refusal to host one of the games great all-time stars
Goof for them
They deserve all the derision they get.

Yeah tell me about it!!! It seems as though Syracuse is ALWAYS under NCAA scrutiny...... and I am just amazed that Jim B is whining about his punishment..... like he did not know of any wrongdoing..... Rick Pitino had no idea the strippers were putting on shows for years..... after all 15 athletes .... that is a lot to keep track of!!!

Always thought Manuel was hilarious.

UNC (Sylvia Hatchell) wanted to continue the series but Geno ended it due to lack of competition.

That is correct. Duke however did duck out. With JPM saying something to the extent of.... I thought my team would handle "it" (I think she was referring to the level of play) in using the word "it" better.

I think that was after they got toasted not just by uconn, but by a very heavy schedule of good teams without bringing off any wins.

Glad that works for you. You can watch the replays at the time you want. Plus you can check on UCONN's opponents' games with other teams.
