Yeah I root for Cuse to beat non Big East teams all the time. If Cuse didn't have good teams year in and year out, it wouldn't be much of a rivalry. So I wish Cuse all the best in non-conference play and when a Cuse victory helps Georgetown in conference play. Additionally I find the Gators highly irritating, which is why I was rooting for Alabama in the SEC Title game, its always fun to see them lose in basketball or football. There are a number of Georgetown fans who do this. I am not one of them. I don't think it's right, I will never do it, and I encourage other Georgetown fans not to do it (if necessary, like tonight, you can always root for the meteor). But that was not my point. My point was to note the audacity of a Gator fan telling the rules of being a Hoya fan to someone who -- despite his struggles with the written word -- has forgotten more about Georgetown and Georgetown basketball than many will ever know. People always want to save the polar bears, right? Well, don't these people know that polar bears eat baby seals to survive? How do you make a moral judgment on these cases? If the Fruit lose, it's a good thing. If our conference RPI goes up, it's a good thing. God moves in mysterious ways. I won't be "rooting" for 'cuse tonight, but I'm sure not going to waste a good meteor prayer on this matchup either. I'll simply accept the outcome as it is, with a simple "meh" aimed at the universe and its heartlessness.

I don't want to save polar bears.
They are nasty, dirty, vile creatures....much like students in Syracuse or Gainesville.
Baby seals I will save, which is why I enjoyed the LeMoyne win over Syracuse so much.

There is one reason, and one reason alone that is a "meteor" game and not a normal "Die Syracuse and everyone associated with your program ever" game.
And that reason is HiFi.

Go Gators. Sorry, no Cuse. Some devils are easier to sleep with than others.
As for Vern, I'm sorry it had to go down this way, as I think he could have helped the team last year and this, but things don't always work out. I'm pleased for him that he has matured and is developing his game, but sad it didn't happen here.
Also sad we don't have Chris Braswell, as he's putting up killer numbers at Charlotte, but that's clearly no fault of ours.

Apparently Vernon cherished the beatdown.

agreed, strummer, you are being a whiny btch. Enough with the b.s. about wasting the school's money - that is hogwash. On other grounds, however, I don't care about Macklin. so I won't comment further. Oh my mistake. I thought we gave him 2 years of a Georgetown education, housing, and basketball coaching. I'm sure there's no one else who would have wanted those opportunities and who would have given it their all the entire time.

anyone on this board that ever utters the words 'GO CUSE' should have their posting abilities revoked and taken out back and shot like a rabid dog.

I was pleased with the effort the guys gave, but certainly not the execution. The only reason the game was as close as it was all along, was that we knocked down a bunch of three pointers -- and nut "just" threes, some of them were almost forced from adjacent counties. That's not a formula to win games. If we could ever have complimented that with a consistent effort to get inside the defense, it just might have been a different outcome. But really, in my opinion the game wasn't even as close as the score. And we ended up losing by 12 when all was said and done anyway. Oh well, no one anywhere expected us to be 8-1 at this point. The absolute best even the most optimistic could have foreseen would be 7-2 with losses to Mich. St. and Syracuse and wins over FSU and Rutgers/UMass.
Next up a game against a very good Richmond team in the Orange Bowl tournament -- which, strangely is almost 2 weeks before the actual Orange Bowl.

It does not seem rational to me that, if say an SU victory over VU would result in a superior NCAA seeding for us, it would be unacceptable to hope for an SU victory.
