The DaBoeheim Code

by Alex O on Feb 25, 2009 4:04 PM EST

So the numbers on the above picture caught my eye. A bunch of zeros and ones... It looked like binary code. My curiosity got the best of me so I found a binary translator and typed it in.

I couldn't believe the results.

See for yourself. Go to this website. Type 101100 into the top, middle box. Hit decode. The answer will appear below in the box marked Dec/Char.

You know, I once heard...

there’s a man who sits underneath the Dome pressing 10 11 00 in a computer every 44 minutes. No one knows why or what will happen if he stops…

This is like one of those emails I used to get all the time in college.

And I’d be all, “WTF?” And then I’d realize the trick. Only now, I don’t think there’s a trick.

Is Boeheim…the devil? If so, I think that explains Juli Boeheim.

There is all kinds of crazy stuff in the basement of link. I found an old-school typewriter down there.

I immediately jumped past decimal and thought, "what is 0x2C in ASCII?"

Turns out it’s a comma. Oh, and 0×2C is 44 in decimal. So that’s nice.

I always thought it was weird

that Rick Jackson wore 00, but I guess there was a reason all along.

Restore 44!

Restore 101100 just isn’t as catchy.

44

I’m thinking the combo more reflects John Wallace—the forgotten 44

By the way, why is Coleman honored with the retirement—both of them went to a single Nat. Championship game and had relatively journeyman NBA careers. Wallace did more for us in his championship run than Coleman in his.

Really?

Let’s see, DC ended his career as the all-time leading rebounder in NCAA history. First-team all-america. #1 pick in the NBA draft. Best player to come out of Syracuse since Dave Bing. He didn’t turn out to be a superstar in the NBA but he had great early success with New Jersey — he was ROY and was an All-Star at least once, before he let himself go. Wallace was a great college player, don’t get me wrong, but DC is above him in just about every category I can think of.

And anyway, I’m sure Wallace will have his retired someday too. He was a ‘90s player, chances are he won’t get honored until they’ve done with the main guys of the ’80s teams.
