Was looking for something else and came across this. How the heck did we get away with this back in 2016?

OrangeDW I remember a group of people used to freak out on here if Craig Forth's basketball game was criticized, but they never expressed any problems with posters destroying Deshaun Williams, Billy Edelin, etc. with personal attacks and in some cases would do it themselves.
These are the people who take it personally and get mad if "nice kids" are criticized. They want to make it about who is a "good kid" and who isn't. They fail to realize that the great majority of criticism is not personal whatsoever, it's solely about basketball (a few will always go too far, but most don't).

Dorks over there are getting ready to pop champagne if Clemson wins. Congrats to Girard for being carried to his second S16. Just for shits and giggles, I’d like to see him bring the ball up against the press. I’m rooting for them but not for the same reasons they are, I actually like how the team is built and how they play. Tough to root against PJ Hall, he’s one of my favorite opposing players in years.

Someone posted a story about Chris Bell losing 10 pounds by not eating so much candy(seriously), and when I replied that I was happy the program seemed to be making improvements in nutrition and weightlifting, I was deleted and banned from the thread. I want to make it clear that I'm not calling anybody racist but the shit I was allowed to say about Naheem McLeod being bad at basketball compared to the stuff you still aren't allowed to say about Joe, Buddy or Jimmy has racial undertones, at the VERY least. I don't think it's that they are racist necessarily. It's that they befriend the white players parents (Forth another example). If we saw a black player's parent becomefriendly with certain mods, the kabosh would be put on them similarly IMO.

I’m rooting for NC State for the same reason - mainly I like watching a team play inside out in 2024. You just don’t see that often. And I find Burns to be likable. He seems like a funny kid.

I frequently asked why, after years of BJ Johnson updates at LaSalle, Summer League, the NBA, the G League, etc. being posted…..why does an on topic reply sharing Kadary’s stats from a recent game get deleted?

Interesting that some SUFAN's like to make some of the Syracuse fanbase as the outlier of evil when it comes to discussing our players/coaches....and now you see Hall and JG3 talk about how shitty their coach has been treated. It's almost like it's EVERY FANBASE??

I hope they are all are to a degree, but there's also part of me that doesn't really care as long as they aren't like breaking the law.

If I’m very nice to this player and their parents, Joyce will be nice to me and give me awesome seats for the next basketball game. I am not a weirdo.

The people now talking like “sure would’ve been nice to have him again!” people….if it wasn’t for a complete fluke in the world, he would’ve been gone anyway. He already played 4 full freakin years here and graduated. I’m sick of these old COVID year guys. Get a job already. He wouldn’t have made any real difference to this Syracuse team - just like he didn’t really matter the previous 4 years. A roll player away….we most certainly are not. Frankly, I feel good above having Starling on the roster, with 2 years left.
