Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 5194376, member: 8240"] We were out to dinner in Florida the day before the 1987 Championship game with my IU loyalist cousin (just by accident we were both on vacation there) and, as a loyal Big East fan, I was telling him why Syracuse had the talent to win and he wouldn't hear it. Said IU would wipe the floor with them, etc. Not exactly, as it took a fluke (great?) shot by Keith Smart to win that title. My cousin and his brothers were politely arrogant about IU and UConn back then but they all seem to have slipped into a state of acceptance of their current fate as IU fans. The cousin I mentioned has lamented Crean's firing on multiple occasions and wishes they'd bring him back. It's got to be tough to have had your team flying high during your college days and years after and then be nowhere to be seen come tournament time. [/QUOTE]
