    Any SU fans out there?

    We are going for our 21st win on Sat. against Notre Dame! (with a 20-0 record for the season so far, and #1 in the nation). You have to understand that in Central NY there is NOTHING but snow and cold in the Winter - Syracuse Basketball is the big distraction from roof rakes, snow blowers, and single digit (or below) temps. Jim Boeheim is "da bomb!" So.... anybody out there from CNY?

    Lived in Syr. when I first started as an optician, still watch some. Hard when you live in a state that is an annual powerhouse like NC!

    My daughter lived in Utica for five years. I barely escaped the big snowstorm that collapsed the Mini-Dome. While I'm a big WVU fan, I never had much ill will towards Syracuse until the Marvin Graves incident in football. Boeheim is an honest coach who recently spoke a bit too soon. It will be nice seeing how our freshman-laden BB team will stack up against the 'Cuse this year. We'll get beat, but I'll bet it will be somewhat close.

    Not a WVU fan, but I was a collegiate bball player myself just a few years ago. Now Coaching is my other passion along with my work. At Morgan Wooten's bball camp every summer I learn alot....Bobby Huggins is a hell of a coach and a person. None quite like him. Best guest speaker I've seen. They have a legitimate shot against anybody. If game is in Morgantown, they got more than a shot.

    Well, tonight we will get our SU shirts, hats, socks, and "blankees" out for the game (we are so lame) - with so much controversy swirling around the Bernie Fine issue, we are glad to see Boeheim and the team just concentrating on good BB. This should be a win, but hey, in the Big East anything goes! BTW - Huggins is the "separated-at-birth" twin of Desko, SU's LX coach. They look so much alike!

    I guess anything CAN happen.
