For obvious reasons, I want this one more than any other game on the schedule.
That said, I do wonder how Joe will be received. Contrary to the Syracusefan moderator sob stories, Joe always got good receptions in the Dome.
personally, I’d give him a polite round of applause when he’s announced in starting lineups. Not a hero’s welcome. But a nice clapping, applause. He came here and did his best and was a decent-good player for 4 years, and seems like a decent kid.
However, come game time he’s fair game for all the razzing and trash talking. Part of the game, and he’s on the other side and we know what he can and can’t do more than anyone and need to bust his ass on both ends.

I’m expecting a warm welcome. He’ll get razzed if he shoots an airball, though. And I say that because I don’t think the fan base in general is a reflection of the boards. The boards are for the fanatics. I could be wrong.

I wouldn’t boo him. He did nothing wrong. He can feel like he was disrespected but I don’t think the fanbase treated him poorly at all. The program wasn’t winning and that was the frustration. He never really burned anyone publicly. I am sure he got razzed but everyone gets razed. He should get cheered in intros as he is a Syracuse graduate and then treated like an opponent. I wouldn’t treat him any different than any player who didn’t burn the house down on their way out.
If Benny came back next year he would be worthy of a booing for this shit he has been able to get away with. I would cheer Joe like I would cheer Symir Torrence in intros. The idea Joe Girard should feel slighted by Syracuse basketball fans go pound sand if he feels that way.

So putting it all together:
- We haven't been able to defend lately - We have no size - Clemson has size and great shooters - Bell rarely has two good games in a row in ACC play - No Benny - Mintz playing ball hoggy
I see no way Clemson doesn't win by 10+ Maybe someone gets hot and we play close for awhile, but we know what happens when we know we won't win. They quit. So Clemson -9.5

If that happens, maybe we keep it tight I think we struggle to stop them from scoring, and we tend to have at least one major drought per game that kills us.

These old fart mods will likely need a nap at some point, at this rate. Who is going to preemptively ban new posters who haven’t even posted yet at that point?
