You can expect a lot more of this when the Orange invade the RAC tonight.
The three-game road trip begins. Let's start things off on a high note, shall we?

maybe I'm crazy?
but I think she’s actually hot.
Sorry – don’t kill me here, but something about kinda / sorta / maybe cute fake blondes who could maybe stand to shed a few lbs just reminds me of my high school girlfriend.
STOP calling this game over already.
We all know what the RAC & Syracuse basketball are capable of.
I’m going to make some pasta and ground turkey, when I come back, I expect a recantation of all victorious presumptions.

I certainly hope you are correct sir!!
considering that I put my entire bodog account on this game.
(not kidding)
I just missed getting a bet in on the over (148). Here’s hoping it was a fortuitous miss.

bodog is lame
they are so late putting up spreads, and never have totals for 90% of the games. why do i have money there
"Well it looks like the place is filling up with Syracuse fans, good luck"
from an SNY commentator who was talking to the A.D. of Rutgers (who sounds like a d*ck).
yeah
don’t get to excited about a Cuse win just yet—-we don’t have Terrance Roberts to chuck in a 3 to save our ass
ESPN Full Court Free Trial Week!
Check your cable guide for what channel this game is on – for me it is GP2 (ESPN “Gameplan” 2) which is 961 on RCN in DC.
Otherwise, it should be on ESPN360 (subject to blackout).
Again...
how is it that local Time Warner Sports has HD, but not an ESPN produced broadcast.

yes to watching Lost from the beginning
I did it about a year and a half ago when sci/fi was showing 4 eps every Monday night from the start of the series.
There are only two shows on television I consider must-see
Dexter and Lost.
It’s going to take you a very long time but if you’re gonna dive in to Lost, you HAVE TO watch them all. No way around it. Too many little things that you’ll miss if you don’t.

also, all this talk about the RAC being a tough place to play is ridiculous.
maybe there are no students there…but it sounds quiet

Kinda like the Dome being a tough place to play before the GRob regime.

but not anytime recently

it's hilarious they were saying Onuaku's only downside
is his lack of accuracy from the line. How about his lack of precision, too? Remember high school physics where they show if a guy hits the same spot of the outside ring of the dart board consistently, he’s precise but not accurate?
His FT’s are never in the same spot.

so they stepped up on the ball pressure to draw a foul & got a steal & a layup
So I guess Pitt is pretty good
and UConn isnt, huh?

If I wanted to go see Cuse beat down a Jersey school
…I would’ve preferred them to do so at one that has a NJ Transit station when I’m on winter break. Just kidding on that, but that’s pretty much why I didn’t head down to Rutgers tonight. I find it odd that Monmouth and Princeton and the Knights’ epic rival Seton Hall all have arenas with easy access from NJ Transit but the state’s own university doesn’t get service from the state’s own transportation system
ooooooooh awkward
they showed that commercial during the seton hall gm.
My brother and I were uhh……..pretty high when we saw it and completely lost it when that commercial came on.
The goofy/creepy grin on his face at the end of the commercial is just tooooooo much.
They made him say the last line while actually driving the car, so he has to look up in the middle of it to make sure he doesn’t hit a tree.

I like to think he just throws that basketball randomly through a plate glass window.

I hope you are right
The last few games have been ugly.
When I'm scared about a game against Rutgers there is something wrong
I think Pittsburgh is actually good and will finish strong so I’ll give the boys that one but Memphis was ugggggly
wtf are you talking about?
we blew them out in the first half, they are running hot from beyond the arc in 2nd half. our d is playing great, causing lots of TOs
I’m glad to know that none of the other teams who are ranked in the top 10 have ever had 16 turn overs in a game.
You tell me some of these 3 TO streaks we've been getting on are ok
They come in packs. I want them to do well, but they’ll get owned later if they don’t protect the ball better
Did I say they were okay? Read back to me where I said they were okay. I said that we aren’t the only team this happens to. Since you claimed we were over rated.
I didn't say they were overrated so if you want to parse words you missed what I said
…but, my point stands, we don’t protect the ball, get loose with it and let people back in the game. They very well may be the team many are making them out to be, but they’ll under perform if they don’t get the basics in order. 16 TOs in the first 30 minutes. Giving up turnovers when you are ahead and letting the other team back in the game (obviously with some 3 help) shows they are playing too loose. That’s all I’m saying. Interpret it however you want and respond with whatever snarky response about other top teams, but we’re not playing top 5 ball right now
I’m sorry, is there some way in which not playing top 5 ball but ranked in the top 5 does not equal overrated?
Whatever. No one claimed 16 turn overs is a good thing.
This is my last comment on the matter...
I’m not comparing the Orange to any other team which would be necessary to call them overrated based on some poll. The overall level of play is simply not where an elite program should be. They could be #1 and the rest of the teams could suck and they would still be playing crappy ball. They could be straight up dominant if they fix a few of these pieces which seem like fundamentals and not some lack of skill or ability. That’s why its frustrating.
It's a new Big East tradition...

I loved the two blue haired cock knockers doing the “choke” sign. Perhaps they were talking about RU’s performance on the football field this year?
