Having twice purchased tickets to the RAC to see SU play Rutgers, I have ended up on the Rutgers Athletics email spam list. Today my inbox was graced with an email from that list with the subject line “Rutgers World Record Attempt”. I assumed they were simply breaking the record for “Most Consecutive Seasons Coached [...]

So I pop over to My Yahoo to check my fantasy football team and behold the content that has arrived:
Halleluia and Hail Boeheim! The basketball schedule is complete! To quote a wise philosopher, “Let’s get it started in here.”
The full schedule can be found here. The highlights:
Coaches vs. Cancer in MSG on Nov 19/20. We [...]

There are two ways to pick a coach of the year, and neither one is particularly helpful in the Big East this year. Either you pick the one coach who’s team was so overwhelmingly dominant that they clearly did the best job, regardless of whether everyone expected them to win; or you pick the coach [...]

Was I the only one hoping that K-Ong would finish his final home game in the most appropriate way — by fouling out? After that double-technical, as a result of which he picked up his fourth, I figured it was only a matter of time. But JB sat him down with about five minutes left. [...]

Giving up 100 points or more in a regulation college basketball game is a humiliating event. Or it should be at any rate. It’s an event so incredibly disheartening and improbable that it should be one of the rarest occasions in the sport. Any modicum of effort on defense by any reasonable collection of half-way [...]

Our man Russiantor at T3I is much better than us at trolling random blogs, and he dug up a doozy of an entertaining post today. It’s from a Rutgers guy, and it laments their awfulness in basketball in as profoundly hilarious a manner as I could imagine. Russ explains it:
Anyone that’s watched college basketball for [...]

Lets do some math.
The Big East is essentially a two tier league. There are 9 great teams bound for the NCAA Tournament making up the top tier, and 7 teams of varying degrees of suckness making up the bottom tier. If there’s a middle tier at all, it’s a tier of one: Providence. They appear [...]

This was one of the wildest moments I’ve ever seen in college hoops. Everyone, Syracuse and Rutgers fans alike, was going nuts. We had the privilege of sitting in the student section, right behind the hoop where this dunk was dunked. Unbelievable.

In honor of tonight’s visit to the Rutgers Athletic Center, I think it’s time to relay one of the better epic SU gameday sagas in which I have played a role. The date was January 2005. The team was the 19-1, #4-ranked Syracuse Orangemen, featuring Warrick, Pace, Forth, McNamara, a quartet of promising but underperforming [...]

First off, anyone who thinks SU’s demolition of Seton Hall isn’t that impressive because the Pirates aren’t particularly good should take this into consideration: with nine minutes left in the 2nd half this afternoon, #3 Pittsburgh was losing to Rutgers. Rutgers. And it wasn’t even that surprising to see, because that’s life in the Big [...]
