I arrive at work, I search out coffee, and I check this Board. Thank you for making following the team I love easier and enjoyable for many years.

In the re-formulated league I no longer have a Boeheim Exception team. I want/we need very team to do well(except when they're playing us). Best wishes to Coach and Butler. Hope you're back soon.

Down from Philadelphia for the 7/26 games. Enjoyed the Tombs games immensely. Hope Peak is a durable guy. Absorbed a lot of hits on his numerous forays to the goal. Anyone else see the Patriarch (JT) barking at the guard from GW who had the temerity to slam a ball off the wall behind the basket? It's still his gym.

An interesting phenomenon I have observed among my college age kids is relatively less attachment to one's school teams. My son goes to Furman and has never in two years, to my knowledge, attended an entire football game. Furman plays in the shrinking Southern Conference and made the FCS playoffs last year. He and his frat friends spend their time outside the stadium tailgating. Over the same period he has probably attended more Georgetown basketball games (he is a fan from birth) than Furman games despite Furman having an adequate on-campus arena. My son's roommates father (Furman '78)noted the same behavior and contrasted it with how things were when he was in Greenville.

Thank you all for the replies. I never the eat the dogs. I walk through campus and hit the Tombs after watching. I have been lucky I guess Schedule-wise when I have attended. The games while never on-time have gone off in the intended order. I usually attend a July weekend and everyone I have wished to see is still around and playing with sometimes a surprise guest eg Jeff Green.
As there is no on-campus basketball (and never will be?), my physical connection to the campus derives from these midsummer visits.

As one who plans a weekend visit to Kenner from out of town, I wonder when schedules and rosters might be available.

I wonder if that admission was contemplated and not off the cuff. I think Coach is hoping/expecting he won't be miked again.

The Globe had Mike Hopkins of Syracuse in the running for the BC job. Has he gotten tired of waiting for Jimmy's exit? Is he no longer heir-apparent?

Charlie, Dr Q and DFW thanks for the memories. I came to the Hilltop in the fall of '71 so I missed Bernie although I certainly saw the end of the Magee era. A few years ago Sports illustrated had an article about the African American athletic pioneers of the late sixties and early seventies who integrated the SEC. I had my sons (now 20) read it. They Hear of Hershel Walker at Georgia and Bo at Auburn and think that was ancient history. The reality is that 40, certainly 45 years ago, many places were unwelcoming to African American students and athletes. Nice to see that Barry had a rich life after the air went out of the ball for him.

Nice that the refs let them play. Good physical game in which the Jays didn't match us. Will be there Saturday. We often play Nova well in that building as has been noted.

Lived on his hall my freshman year. Driest sense of humor on the planet. Get well soon. Watching a game won't be the same 'til he's back.

The game of golf was born on so-called linksland, windswept open spaces that "linked" the land and the sea. The soil was too poor to farm, so the Scots grazed sheep on it. Bunkers were originally formed by the animals sheltering out of the wind. The Scots eventually began to hit feather-filled balls across the open land. The sheep didn't mind.

Texanmark- I think you were one of three teams that defined a great conference. That the new Big East doesn't include two of those teams is a regret. The other team that is not with us, UConn, might return once it sees how unsatisfying is life as a football whore.
You are going to a conference whose focus is and I think will remain below the Mason Dixon Line. Duke and UNC don't know Pearl Washington, Sherman Douglas or Derrick Coleman, nor do they care. Durham and Chapel Hill will be longer road trips than Verizon Center, your home away from home.
I watch with interest how you establish yourself as a very northern appendage of Tobacco Road.

how nice is it to be in a place where the machinations of the football whores can't touch us?

In Union Station waiting for northbound train.
I can't decide if defense was truly majestic or Syracuse is just severely offensively challenged. The second half was a walkover.
Although Porter didn't have as many points as two weeks ago, his role in shredding the zone in the second half should be noted. Just about every time he got the ball at the foul line, good things happened. Several soft jumpers from him and numerous kick-outs to wide-open shooters on the wings.
When this team is on defensively they are imposing.

He's totally trying to jinx us, we play them again, no way this isn't some mind game.
Absolutely- don't you think he has told MCW "You think I'm wrong? Prove it."

I also enjoy visiting 'Cuse boards when we beat them. One post, however, talked about last "home" game for them on 3/9. Let's give them no such cozy atmosphere. I'll be there helping send them off the right way.

I had a cousin who used to play lunchtime basketball at the Winchendon Y who once ended up shooting baskets with Victor Page. My cousin was a probation officer but his encounter with Victor was not in an official capacity.
