Help The Boeheims Beat John Calipari

by Sean Keeley on Jan 23, 2012 11:00 AM EST in Syracuse Basketball

Oh...do I have your attention now, Syracuse Orange fan?

Well here, let me blow your mind some more. Juli Boeheim has a favor she wants to ask you...

I'm asking for a small favor....Infiniti is hosting a fun competition among college coaches!! It is voter driven with the winner getting $100,000 toward their charity of choice! Jim has chosen our foundation - The Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation to be recipient if he should win! We are in the East Region with UK's John Calipari in the lead. Jim/SU is in second place....totally unacceptable!! Each region's winner will advance to the Final Four!! A winner will be chosen from there based on votes.

Let's show our support for our community and the Syracuse University Orange by voting for this!! You can vote once a day. It is really easy and free!! How great would a W be for our community!

Simply go to SUathletics.com and click on the Men's Basketball link. Within that link are tabs. This is currently listed under the fourth tab (Ed. Note - it's here). Or, you can go to ESPN.com and scroll down to the Infiniti link. Jimboeheim.com will have it posted sometime today, as well. There you will also find some additional information regarding the foundation! We have been fortunate enough to grant over $500,000 to worthy causes in CNY, thanks to your support!

Thanks in advance for your participation! Please pass this on to others and together let's watch the votes for Jim and our incredible community skyrocket!!!!

GO CUSE!!!!!

Juli

And just in case this wasn't pressing enough, Bob Huggins is gaining on the Boeheims. BOB HUGGINS. This will not stand.

Go vote now. And then spread the word. And then vote again tomorrow.

Are there that many computer literate individuals in West Virginia?

Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

Go Cuse. Go Utes. Go Kings (hockey version). Go Panthers (hockey version). Go Marlins. Go Dodgers. I despise the NFL and NBA, so don't bore me.

Since the early 1990's I have not been able to get Mike Hopkins' bloody face out of my brain. I don't remember what game it was but I'll never forget that as my first memory of SU basketball. Mike Hopkins, bloody face, bloody nose, all for the love of Syracuse.

Voting for this round ends 2/27

Passing Calipari and Huggins shouldn’t be too difficult.

Damn

Juli loves her exclamation points. Reminds of Seinfeld episode where Elaine’s BF didnt use an ! at the end of a note about her friend having a baby. Breaking up over punctuation!

So where does that $100k go when Calipari has to vacate his victory?

Shut up brain or I'll stab you with a Q-tip
