The 2016 Syracuse Orange Blogger (S.O.B.) Awards are here. Honoring the players, coaches, fans and moments from the 2015-2016 Syracuse Orange basketball season, we here at TNIAAM are splitting the process between ourselves and you, the dear readers.
Today's category: Best Meme

#SorryNotSorry
From the moment Syracuse basketball made the NCAA Tournament, it felt like Orange fans had to apologize for it. Then we kept winning and we kept having to apologize. With each win, SU took a "better" team out of the tournament and made it further than they were "supposed to," all the while being "gifted" with easy wins.
All we could do was keep apologizing for our success.
#SoSorry. @sbnation North Carolina-Syracuse is a nightmare Final Four matchup for the NCAA https://t.co/6lqKp247oz

The Jim Boeheim Revenge Tour
As Syracuse moved through the NCAA Tournament, it became clear that this was some kind of revenge/vengeance tour for Boeheim and SU Basketball, sticking it to the NCAA. We all noticed.
