Definitely exciting… and amazing what can happen with a new coach and game philosophy. We’d become so stale under the aging Boeheim. Welcome Donnie!!!

B-ball can be turned around quick with the small rosters, so that’s never been a concern of mine. Punting on half a decade of b-ball was incredibly frustrating though. What a waste of time.

Is five years really that big of a deal, considering the 42 years that preceded that time?

To all the local kids who dont give a rip about SU sports, it’s like their entire life span as a sports fan. Most kids like the good teams. Unfortunately it’s just their nature. To the old people who only have so many years left, it’s probably a big deal too. Hopefully we’ll be able to get things back on track. This program needs the locals - that 20,000-30,000 every night has been an enormous part of the success of the program.

Giving a pass this year, but the year after this I don’t want to see the bubble. I think that’s fair with the age the roster will be and the top rated freshman.

Yeah because while I say we “punted 5 years”, the 5 years before that weren’t all that good either. That’s why it should’ve been time! I just want to win a league title and be like a 3 seed and make a run again. 2012, last league title. 2006, last conference tourney title. Friggin ridiculous.

Also, I can’t help but recall when we took Bernie off the road and Orr left for Siena HC job, and the new blood Hopkins and Weaver started reeling in Edelin, GMac, Carmelo, etc. after a few years of Greg Davis, Brennan McBride, etc.

We went to the Final Four during the five years before. Purdue hasn’t made it that far since 1980.

We went to the Final Four during the five years before. Purdue hasn’t made it that far since 1980. It was still a subpar 5 years for Syracuse. Missed the tourney twice. Bounced in round 2 the one year we were actually good. 10 seed and 11 seed the other 2 years, but made nice tourney runs. Only competed for the league title once, in 2014. Good for some schools. Bad for Syracuse. 2018 should’ve been it - would’ve been a great time to go out on a high. Regardless, glad we’re finally getting players again.

Something about the Gatorade bottle being there makes me laugh - are we sponsored by them? Is it just because Gatorade is Orange?
