I suppose I agree with the idea that if we want to be regular season BE champs we need to win this game--in large part Syracuse has a schedule so much easier than everyone else that a sweep by us is essential if they're to reach 4-5 loss territory.
That said, at no point before or during this season have I ever seriously believed we were conference champion material, so I'm not ready to hold the guys to that expectation.

Fair points Giga. I just look at the 1st half of our game there last year as us being utterly shellshocked, as much as them being that stout on defense. Also, I'm not sure we were running an offense, let alone our offense, at that time of the year.
I'm not saying we have no shot up there, just that I think it's going to be the toughest game of the year. And that I'm legitimately afraid of Wesley Johnson. I do think we've played just as well as they have in conference. Hell, 1 out of 2 this week makes us an extremely good team.

Could someone link a Syracuse discussion board? I'd love to see what they have to say about us...

i wonder how many times the hoyas will get to practice at the dome.
henry sims has indicated, via his tweets, that the team boarded a plane an hour ago.
i like that they will have almost 48 hours up there before tip-off

While I agree with others that have questioned the matchups in this game......it will be a tough one.......I WANT THIS GAME TO BE A WIN!!!! I don't care if we play one guy who is 2 feet tall. We are going to win this game!!! I can't take another year of having to hear from/look at all the fans the day after this game when I go to work, listen to the radio, read the newspaper, etc. I HATE SU!!!!! I HATE BOEHEIM!!!! GO HOYAS......BLOW OUT THE ORANGE!!!!!
That is all.

After they stormed the court before time was up in 2008, it's probably warranted.

I love how neither of those sites' GU based threads had anything resembling a coherent thought. I award them no points and may God have mercy on their souls.

I like the comment about a top recruit from upstate NY. How he would never choose GU. Because upstate NY is such a hoops hotbed.

Actually, not a bad picture of him. How did he ever get such a hot wife?
Implications for the regular reason BE, seeding for the BET, or national rankings DO NOT MATTER. This is SUcks. Any game with them, any time, any where, is huge. The privilege of rooting against SUcks is reward enough. I see Smitty going coast to coast in '88...I see Big John announcing the closing of Manley Fieldhouse...GO HOYAS, BEAT THE ORANGE!!!

Is it normal that reading that tripe makes me so angry I want to punch every cuse fan in the face. There's no team that inspires such raw hatred in me as syracuse. They are soulless devils who need to be sent straight back to hell! I'm not normally a violent person, but cuse fans make my blood boil. Those ignorant Editeding asswholes won't know what hit them on monday.
