Syracuse Orange at Florida Gators, Dec 10, 2009 9:00 PM EST
Kinda looks like Lee Corso. Just sayin'.
Here we are...two Top Ten teams tanglin' in Tampa. A few weeks ago this was just another game between two rebuilding programs. Now it's the best game on tap all week. Not sure how we got here, just know I don't want to find out what happens if we lose.

Love how
“Cuse fans are coming out of the closet this year brimming with confidence. The espn message board looks like we already won the nat’l championship. I think we are good but it is still way too early. Im just excited the team has potential and there are certifiable playmakers, makes it fun to watch.
Let's go!!
What should we be looking for in this game?

No matter the outcome
it is a game in DECEMBER!
Regardless of what happens we already have had a hugely successful pre-BE season. Will enjoy watching the boys take it to the Donovan gang as much as anyone else here, but not exactly worried about “what happens if we lose”.
Go Orange(men)!
Lets Go Cuse!

No Higgins
But we got Jimmy Burr tonight
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
lotta cuse fans in there
andy makes me wet myself
They aren't being as smart on the fast break tonight.
Not sure why Scoop felt the need to pull up from running full speed to take that jumper when he had 2 guys down the court with him.
Out of control
right now. This crowd is making me nervous. Just a lot of energy in the building

gotta love the cuse fans
reppin right in florida’s backyard.
Running runnning running – gotta love it
I hope Wes just waits for the game to come to him.
A few possessions he looked like he was going to force something just to get on the board. Now that he’s scored, maybe he’ll relax and find his spots.
do you realize
that no non QB has won the Heisman since Ron Dayne?

Holy Balls
These are two motivated basketball teams. I thoroughly appreciate both of their efforts.

Well, judging from your comments
I’m officially 20 seconds behind. But, agreed, that’s a great way to end the half. Probably the most accurately thrown Syracuse oop we’ve seen all season.
Coach
People say you look like Eddie Munster, how do you respond?
“Well, I just gotta coach my team and not worry about what I look like”

Anyone else watching on 360?
Have you seen this Kyle McAlarney story about white point guards? Blah blah blah. Real story: what the fuck is going on with Mark Price’s face?
triche has been really impressive
it won’t show up in the stats at all, but he has consistently broken the florida press. the kid is fearless bringing the ball up the court.
better
than Scoop has done. We’d prob be up a few more if Scoop didn’t have those TOs

Jardine and Johnson need to slow down
Triche and Jackson have been awesome.
And I forget who made the ever-popular “two-handed snatch.”
I think so!

But he didn't need to take it. I think we had 2 on 1 or 2 on 2.
Either push it to the rim or hold up and set up a play. No need to chance a 3 when Florida is getting some momentum.
Fla
keeping it just close enough for us to not feel comfortable

I swear to god
If this team wins the national championship (actually possible) the year AFTER I graduate, I’m going to sue the SU Athletics Department
i got to 'cuse in 03
missed the championship season by 6 months and my senior season we missed the tournament all together
i win
I go to Michigan
And my first game in the Big Depressed House was Appalachian State. In three years, I’ve seen 17 wins from the winningest program in college football history. Never beat Ohio State, only made a bowl game once, and unless we win the national championship next year, I’ll have watched the worst four years of Michigan football ever.
And our basketball team won 10 games freshman year, by some miracle made the tournament last year, and has decided to suck again this year. So, trust me, you can’t have it that bad. You say G-Mac play. I haven’t seen anything like that.
I’m still a Syracuse fan because I grew up one by virtue of the fact that my dad went there, and they’re pretty much all I have since Michigan sports aren’t worth two shits.
One
OOC game left that poses a problem

Alright, good win
It’s December, and it don’t mean much, but it was still fun to watch.

No
That win meant a lot tonight. Showed that even when we’re not at our best we can hang with almost anyone

I don't think
Anyone can cast aspersions on our OOC resume this year.
I haven't seen
a Cuse team be this good, maybe ever. Even the team that started out 19-0 didn’t look this good.

Bad week for the Gators. Messiah boy loses in football, and the 'Cuse dominate tonight.

Syracuse fan first and foremost
But root for FSU in fooball when it doesn’t affect Syracuse (i.e. never, except for that game in ’05)
So it’s been a very, very good week for me. :)
I don't think I'm overstating it when I say....
This Syracuse basketball team is greatest team to play basketball ever at any level.
Didn't you listen?
It’s Kansas. Or Christina Aguilera. Or Brian Kelly.
Pretty much all I heard all night.

loss seems like it was 5 years ago. Almost like Jimmy made them lose so they’d humble themselves

Is it just me or did Wes not look that great?

He didn't look great.
He still had a double double. I’ll take that since he’ll have more good nights than not.

Triche?
He played really well. Didn’t necessarily stuff the stat sheet, but he had a good game – mainly because he was very patient and effective against the press. I was just thinking about it and am I crazy or was he not in the game down the stretch? Is he ok? Or did Jimmy B just go with experience in Scoop?
i wanna rip the head off a gator
and shove it down the tear ducts of their wack ass qb homeschooled tim tebow.
LETS GO OOOOO ORANGE!!
This team
is better than the National Championship team. Deeper, better defensively, and more mature. Can’t wait until March… and April.
It's better in December for sure.
We’ll have to see if it’s better in March. I’d like to see these guys beat UConna and Georgetown (and this year, West Virginia) before declaring them presumptive national champs.
Still, can’t wait until March. Basketball season is exciting. We know we’ll probably make the playoffs in any given year, and usually are good enough we could make a run, but have no guarantees… while there’s the off chance we’ll be very good going into the NCAAs and lose to some 13+ seed. Wereas in football, we’re just awful, no excitement there. And in lax it’s shocking when we don’t win the national title, not when we do.
Drothgery
Man. U sure. Have. A negative. Attitude …
Let’s. All stay positive. And let the positivety will the cuse. All the way to the 2010 title.
Go cuse
by therealmundy on Dec 11, 2009 12:00 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I don't have a negative attitude
So far we look much better than expected. Better than any Syracuse team since I started following the Orange (though that’s only since I moved to the area in 1994, so we might have started better in, say, 1987; I don’t know). I’m really excited about this team. But it’s only December.
