If only that were true... Hey, don't blame me just because you are a closet Syracuse fan. First of all, before you start slinging ad homenim attacks around at respected board members, try to actually comprehend what it is they are saying. In this case, Nodak, was wishing that we didn't know you very well at all. Sadly, you continue to "grace" us with your presence. I'm not sure how that wish is "blaming you" for anything. Secondly, Go away. [Mods, please remove this ad homenim attack and this ad homenim attacker]

I make nothing but pleasant conversation and get nothing but insults. "If only that were true ..." don't worry, I understood the point. Thus I responded with similar insult. It is an insult to be called a Syracuse fan, right?

[Mods, please remove this ad homenim attack and this ad homenim attacker] This is a little like when a little sibling starts swearing. First you're shocked they know those words ... then, as long as they're using them appropriately, you're really proud. Good job, TBird.

You got to admit, hifi puts a lot of effort into being annoying. My whole purpose here is to be slighty annoying, and I don't even have as many posts as he does. How many other boards to you post on? Do you ever leave the computer? I thought I was the only one to sit in a dark room with no windows. My only friends the pixels on the screen. I've named them all. x:235 y: 325 is named Fred, x:43, y:203 is named Cindy

Once again I haven't done anything yet get insulted for some unknown reason. I commented on the impressive TV contract and lamented that the SEC falls far short in that regard. I pointed out that I like watching BE basketball, except for Syracuse. Someone criticized me for basically "sucking up" in bashing Syracuse. I explained why I really don't like SYracuse at all. THen blah blah blah .... after a degree of unwarranted criticisms, I finally responded by suggesting that said insulter must be a closet Syracuse fan. And somehow you think I did something wrong? Please ...

if you don't like the way you're being treated you're free to leave at any time no one is stopping you.

I'm just pointing out that it is not me who starts any of this insultory nonsense. It doesn't bother me; I just question the reasoning.

I read this and was thinking there are many reponses to the reason behind our attacks on hifi. Could it be because you don't add anything to the conversation, that we want you gone, that you talk about Florida and no one here cares about Florida, the fact there are snake on a plane, and finally the real reason that we start this all, because its the damn internet. No one should get upset about anything said on the internet. It's the internet.

I find hifi to be relatively interesting and provacative as a poster, so long as he isnt talking about how the 2001 2nd string weak side lb of florida is considering taking a job offer in cincy.

You're misinterpreting my point. I am not "complaining" about it or any of the sort. I am just pointing out that there is sometimes this aura that I am here causing this or that problem. For the most part that is simply not the case. I contribute something to the discussion. You may or may not agree with what I say, but that is essentially the same for all of us. Yet others start some name calling or other rudimentary and/or desultory insults and then essentially say "see what you've done." I am just calling it to everyone's attention that I was not and in general am not the instiGATOR. Pun intended.

A few points because, well, I'm bored. And I am Editeded because I've had to cancel my weekend plans because of bad weather. Do I care that people down south might have it worse? F*** no! I care about M.E. - My Enjoyment. I am in a foul mood.
1. Personally, hifi, I don't mind you hanging around. But please. You do not "hate" Syracuse, OK? The same way we don't "hate" Tennessee, or Florida State, or whever the hell your damn rivals are, except in an abstract sort of way. You do not, and never will, understand the level of disgust for Syracuse that just about everyone here has. You simply can't. Based on one lousy road trip to the Dome? Don't try.
2. Everyone has their differences, OK? Me? I think most posters here are a bunch of liberal weenies, and some, like nitrorebel, probably should be put on a No Fly list as soon as possible (just kidding nitro...maybe). In addition, I hate everyone here who likes baseball, especially Jack. And don't get me started on Buffalo. Can't stand the guy, alright? But. (And this, like Ophrah Winfrey, is a big but.) Underneath all of that, underneath everything else, we all love the Hoyas with the kind of unbridled passion and fervor that you usually can see in only the very, very best of pornos. You will never, ever have that. You will ALWAYS be an outsider, just because of that. Don't take it personally, it applies to others, like snowdog or dienertowade, just to name a couple. We tolerate them, but that's about it, and often enough not even that. You want people on the board to stop picking on you? Simple. Renounce all allegiance to the Florida Gators, and profess eternal loyalty to Georgetown above all others. That's the only way it's going to happen, alright?
3. Hijacking threads should be reserved for three things: 1. hot women; 2. pop culture 3. Chicken Madness.
If you don't know what a Chicken Madness is, that might be a good place to start in analyzing why you are being picked on.
Damn F#^#$%^# Ernesto!!! Death, bile, gore, barbra streisand!!!!

I will meet you half way on a couple of issues. You're probably correct when you say that I can't have the fervent hatred of Syracuse that most/all of you have. And as you tell the story, it sounds very similar to my feelings of FSU. It is far different than my dislike for Georgia or Miami or Tennesee or anyone else for that matter. FSU is absolute unadulterated pond scum and that is a real insult to all that pond scum out there. I don't have that passion concerning Syracuse, but I definitely without a doubt hate Syracuse and root against them unless they are playing FSU. Like I mentioned, it really started when Seikely was there and our hopes were dashed by his big game and big mouth. Don't like him, didn't like the things he said, pretty much totally dislike that big greasy bozo. Then when we drove up from Gainesville to Syracuse only to lose, my hatred for the Orange(men) was basically cemented. That drive back was a total bittch. As if I needed anymore reasons, for some reason Syracuse fans think they are somehow above the rest. To say they have an overinflated opinion of themselves puts it mildly. Jim Boeheim is an egotistical jacka$$. In fact about the only thing about Syracuse which I "like" would probably be Jim Brown. He was a stud and a class act everytime I have heard him talk. And he was so annoyed that overblown and overrated Franco Harris was threatening his all time rushing record that he said he was coming out of retirement. I still have the Sports Illustrated with a 45 year old Jim Brown on the cover in an Oakland Raiders uniform. He didn't like Franco Harris than I did. But i digress....

And yet once again you've attempted to hijack a thread to suit your own SEC/Florida purposes, causing it to swerve violently off-track. GREAT contribution. We all really, really, REALLY appreciate it.

www.dailymail.com/news/Sports/2006090111/?pt=0This writer estimates the ESPN deal to be at $24-25MM annually for basketball and close to $30MM once you pump in CBS. Conservatively, let's peg it at $28MM (24+4, both "low" estimates). That puts us at $1.75 annually in television revenues. The football schools get an additional $1.75 for their football rights.

I cant wait for the schedule to be released so that we can see how many nationally televised games we have this season. Im sure its gonna be much different than a couple seasons ago when it seemed like Chvotkin was the only option.
