“With Coach Boeheim’s postgame Mario and Salvos plan being gone, I wanted to expand my waistline….and eat something new.”

Joe’s passive aggressive tweet about how hopefully down the road some fans can better appreciate his time at SU is a friggin joke.
He played on our worst teams in 50 years, and his outsized role was a huge reason why we sucked. You had a legendary HS career, and started at Syracuse and put up numbers. Nevermind what people think, they’re not going to treat you like a hero at this level because you’re not. You’re a good role player.

It’s just odd. He always got good ovations at the Dome during starting lineups. The Dome would rock when he was shooting well. I feel like he was actually a pretty popular player overall, but he seems to want hero worship and can’t handle criticism - which usually isn’t really even about him. Idiots will always be idiots and every fanbase has them - especially large and passionate fanbases at schools that have been underperforming.

It’s just part of the territory. If you’re the leading scorer, senior player on a bad team you’re probably going to get a lot of heat. The only thing different in the last few years is that social media is everywhere. Plus…and not to sound like an old man…when you’re getting six figures in NIL money I’m less inclined to feel empathetic.
Oh and yes he could lose some weight.

Girard is a role player. Who because Jim Boeheim couldn’t play Girard as a SG was forced into a PG role which was just not fair to the kid. As a result we struggled obviously and the program was mediocre. If he played in the role he had his Senior year and we actually recruited a complete team then Girard would be a weapon. He isn’t a lead player he is a support player. I thank him for 4 Years and am ready to move on. The kid wasn’t treated unfairly at all. He played out of position for 3 years. No way a program serious at competing would play Girard as a starting PG for 3 years. I honestly don’t care he went to Clemson. Joe Girard is one of two 4 year players at Syracuse that didn’t play a single game at Syracuse as part of top 25 ranked team. Jesse Edwards is the other.

I can’t reply to the Girard thread on the other board, but I’m seeing people saying he’s going to have 30-40 against us….lmao!!
It’s killing to not be able to reply there, but can anyone point to me where he had 30 against a Chance Westry? Because if he gets hit against us, that’s likely who we’d put on him. Otherwise, JJ should be able to hold him in check.
Joe lit up teams like Boston College, right? This is not that. Teams that pressured the ball and had athletic guards usually locked him. He might take advantage of a few mistakes/broken plays and hit a few, but I don’t see him cooking us at all.
He would’ve cooked the 2-3 zone (with Girard up top lol) version of SU, for sure. We’re not making it easy for guys like him anymore.

He’s gonna freak out when we don’t let him come in the locker room and get a Mario and Salvos. Probably will fire off a passive aggressive tweet about it. “Would’ve thought I earned pizza for life here, but live and learn. Orange 4 Lyfe tho! Just. Too. Sweeeeeet!” Alright, I embellished a bit on the last part.

I would have guessed the only links Joe has intimate knowldege of were the ones Jimmy Dean makes.

Quite the slurp fest going on in the Girard thread right now. I think Joe’s going to be in for 2 awfully long nights against us. Athletic guards that pressure him have always given him some fits….and we just added another one to the roster. If Judah comes back….my goodness, we’re going to get after teams. Remember how awful Joe was against St. John’s? The good thing for him is his coach won’t play him 38 minutes anyway if he’s having a 1 for 10 with 3 turnovers type of night.

Also, my new strategy on Syracusefan will be to refer to Joe without saying his name.
I can make comments like “guards who can’t go left and handle the ball against pressure are going to struggle against us!” all I want, right?
