ESPN is dropping our class rating from #2 to #3 and we want to be #1. I want Syracuse to be broken next year.

Is Melo. Donte and company were supposed to lead us to the promise land, and we didn’t even win the NIT.

So I can live with the 3rd best recruiting class in the country. But really, like HoyaSuxa has said several times, I won’t get too excited until I see what they can do in a college basketball game.

Again, I submit to you the worst loss ever was NOT to LeMoyne, it was the opening round of the CARRIER CLASSIC and we lost to Ohio, the doormat team placed to assure us admittance to the final game the next night. It’s never good to be the undercard at your own tourney.

Also, I herald whatever class it was that brought in Elvir Ovcina.

was living in the country growing up, I didn’t have cable, so I had to listen to the games on the radio. It was the CvC tourney in I think 1997. I was 16. We played Indiana, coached by the General, and we won on the strength of two new freshman coming in off the bench. Their names? Preston Shumpert and Tony Bland. I remember that whole season thinking, man, we’re in GOOD hands the next few years.
