Boeheim just wants some help motivating Buddy to play D. Buddy's mom wasn't available.

They are boring to watch and there is nothing that makes their fans think that there is a chance that they will sniff a tourney bid.
Hit the nail on the head. Super boring team to watch.

Gladys Knight and the Pips had a song entitled "Neither one of us (wants to be the first to say goodbye)". That song sums up the current situation between Jimmy Bunz, the university, and the fanbase:

It's sad to think
We're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it

For some ungodly reason
Just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

I keep wondering
What I'm gonna do without you?
And I guess you must be
Wondering the same thing too

So we go on
Go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

Every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say, I'm leaving
Memories, those old memories
Get in my way

Lord knows it's only me
Only know it's only me that I'm deceiving
When it comes to saying goodbye
That a simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way, there can be no way
This can have a happy ending, no, no
So we just go on hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try

Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say

Farewell my love
Goodbye

I don't think anything he said was so wrong, he wants crowds and he wants them involved.

Pretty sure Geno has said something similar in the past

The crowd does matter, we need more too

You don't get how this works. Just because people we like make a comment doesn't mean it's rational for someone we don't like to say the same thing.

Personally, I hope those they can work it out. Jimmy belongs in Syracuse.

I think the Cuse fans are finally realizing the ACC master plan, destroy the old Big East and see the old Big East teams in the ACC settle into mediocrity
Cuse got played by the ACC BUT they are reaping the financial benefits
If Cuse didn't jump to ACC there is probably a decent chance that the OBE would still be around in more or less the same form. I understand the whole P5 crap but it may not have taken the same form as it does today. It would have been better to create a football only P5 type of set-up.
But $ rules and football rules $

Looks like it happened faster than even they could have imagined........

“I had to cheer to try to get somebody to make some noise. It’s sad, sickening really, to see that we can’t get some help here. ... That’s the whole purpose of playing at home and I’m a little too old to try to be a cheerleader here.” - Boeheim
