Playing vs SJU today.

So we'll see the complete" SU team on Wed. in Hartford.

I was wondering how you get declared academically ineligible as a senior but then get reinstated?? Just wondering.
 
Syracuse always seems to get a pass. Whether it was the recruiting scandals in the 90's or academics, I guess their don't stink.
 
same thing happened with Melo last year, usually when your declared academically ineligible after a semester your done, but these guys keep magically coming back.
 
Cuse had no choice but to reinstate him. They are perilously close to APR banning. I'm sure this was pointed out to the faculty. Don't forget about the professor who resigned after being bullied by the AD--it was in the Nocera article on the Fine fallout last year.

The corrupt power that the basketball program has over the Syracuse administration never ceases to amaze!
 
Syracuse....where promising high school players futures go to die. With Southerland back they'll bow out of the NCAA tourney in second round instead of the first.
 
There certainly does seem to be a lot of "misunderstandings" that they walk away from clean after the story break.

I bet a Cuse fan at work Southerland would be back playing before the end of the year. Easiest money I ever made.
 
Some power that be at the Cuse must have been promised time with Mrs. Fine.

Karma is coming cuse friends. I forgive most of your sins, including banming me :), but the joy you take in the impact of conference reallignment on this program will come around on you hard. In 5 years, when JB is hangin em up and the ACC is a shell of what you sold out for, know you deserved it.

Sweet words of poetry.
 
These stories have a way of burying themselves -- don't underestimate the sway Syracuse folk have in sports media. I was gonna call them sleeper cells, but they shamelessly operate out in the open.

Plus you actually have to HAVE media for anyone to care.........and while there are no reporters in the actual vicinity for the newspapers, their alumni out there on radio and TV aren't going to talk about it. They're hoping a UConn kid smokes another bone with a campus cop watching!

Uncharacteristically petty and antagonistic Mark. Go cool out.

LOL...nah just some delicious irony after reading your board...hard to throw rocks in glass houses...both programs have crap like this.

18-22 year olds, liquor, women...crap happens.

Don't worry I'm sure we'll have some new drama soon.

I think what upsets Uconn fans is Cuse looked on the verge of failing the APR, and magically with the snap of a finger, all is well and Southerland is back like nothing ever happened. That's the benefit of being a private institution I suppose.

That's the thing. No amount of altercations or "karmic comeuppances" on our side will make up for the fact that every incident at Cuse seems to be miraculously swept under the rug -- or that they would have faced an APR postseason ban had the NCAA decided to retroactively punish schools a mere 12 months sooner. If karma is real, they should be very concerned.

All I heard is it was over one paragraph in one term paper last year...it came out after Melo's Academic buffonery. I know you guys are hoping we get probation...but it looks like it isn't going to happen. I hate the one/two years and done's and how it creates a sham but it is the life of a high major.

By all indications Southerland is a decent kid...IIRC never any issues before this.

Or promised that they would not have any time with her, which is likely to be a stronger incentive.

Timing by Enosch was awful huh? We'll allow a little pebble tossing for now as it is well deserved Mark. I just hope he didn't steal the girls bathrobe...LOL

He (MCW) won't be our problem next year...as I bet he goes pro...although I think another year in college would help his maturity and court game.

Despite the numbers, the inconsistency against better competition and his attitude may make the Cuse even better next year without him. Could be wrong but he's a tough guy to play with. Rather throw a "hero's" pass than a normal one while a guy is open for jumper and that becomes tough to play with. A little like Rondo?!?!
 
I went over to their board tonight to see their thoughts on the game this week. Obviously going to be even tougher without another big body inside.

I know every fan base as their "crazies" but man are they on another planet. Look right now their program is in better shape than us. No one is denying that. Stability within the program (Ollie), new practice facility (coming), and conference realignment (unknown) can change that quickly.

But I really don't get their "objective" arguments over there. Cuse is a good to great program. No UCONN fan really should deny that. But they make it sound as if UCONN is on the same level as a Butler or Gonzaga. Syracuse has been a better program for longer. No argument here.

But SDHusky posted some good stats over there. In total time in the BE, UCONN has 8 Big East Championships...Syracuse 5. Same final 4s. UCONN has more Elite 8s, and the obvious 3-1 National Championship edge.

Marsh01 and their other posters are oblivious to this, so there is no point in trying to even have a rational conversation. They hate us, we hate them, I guess we should just leave it at that.
 
They have a thread about how Carmelo Anthony should be the MVP. I stopped reading the board right there.
