Tournament talk

Dead · #1 03-19-2005, 01:26 AM

I know that lots of people are ribbing me about my SU cheerleading, and SU lost in the first round, that's true.

What I don't appreciate are all of the people who are labeling me stupid for cheering for SU. I am a big SU fan. I don't pick teams because they're playing great. I don't jump on bandwagons.

I root for the Bills even though they've been awful for the past few years. I'll always be a Bills fan.

The Yankees have had trouble the past 3 years as well but I will always be a Yankee fan.

And although this was a humiliating loss for SU, I'll still always be an SU fan.

Upsets happen. I'm already starting to get over it.

And I'm not going anywhere.

Um... Dead, this is not why you were being labeled stupid. You don't know that?

Then what was it? I don't see how someone can be labeled stupid for posting a lot about how SU is going to win the whole thing. The tournament is notoriously hard to predict and it's easy as hell to say that Illinois or UNC is going to win the whole thing.

No one is labeling you stupid. You're obviously a very big Syracuse fan, and were talking them up a lot previous to the tourney. They got beat, but so did 32 other teams. It's not a big deal <font color="white"> especially since Coppenrath > Warrick </font> .

Dead, everyone's just joshing ya anyway. But you posted like 5 bazillion times about Syracuse's dominance and then refuse to hear about it when they get pwned.

i'm not refusing to hear about it. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I would put people on ignore if that was true.

Yes, exactly. The volume of your posts, like every half hour there was a new post.

I'd like to add to that though. You went way beyond just "cheering" for SU, you repeatedly said that they were the "best team in the country" and they could "beat Illinois by 70" and they would win it all. I also remember you saying how much you were going to laugh and say you told us so when SU knocked Duke out, lol.

Look at that post again. It was obviously tongue in cheek, and everyone with a brain who read it knew that.
