Bunch of tools.
Whoa. So much stupidity in that letter.
For example, calling out Tulsa and Vandy. There were two play-in games featuring 11-seeds. Therefore, two 11-seeds were going to lose their first game. Boasting about getting further than those teams is asinine.
What narrative was Pat Forde attempting to build? There is hardly anything there. Not sure why they were making a big deal out of this.
Also....
"To the NCAA, who tried to teach us a valuable lesson by punishing the current players on the team for things that players seven years ago did. We should have said thank you. Instead, we did this, just one year later."
Didn't they self-impose the postseason ban last year themselves?????

Because it's Syracuse, they need to be at the center of attention for everything. Oh, and they're never in the wrong.
Frankly, I thought it was hilarious.
Wow... this looks like something I'd write and attribute to someone else.
I think it is funny that they called Dayton a mid-major.

F#cking great, man.
Not too long ago, Syracuse fans were crushed when their team lost before reaching the Elite 8 or Final Four. Now they're full of themselves for getting to the Sweet 16.
Plus, out of all the SB basketball sites, they have the stupidest name.
Having had to sit through that Elite 8 game with 17,000 Syracuse fans, I'm pretty sure they're the worst.
Mix UW trashiness with East Coast tough guy. Gross.
I lived in Upstate New York surrounded by 'Cuse fans and went to several games at the Carrier Dome. They pretty much make Bucky fans seem almost reasonable. If I hadn't watched TV or read the paper, I would've thought that Syracuse never actually lost a game in 9 years - they got screwed by the refs a whole bunch of times, but they never just lost. The Mark Aguirre - Terry Cummings DePaul team came in and beat them by 20 on their own court and the next day a fan I worked with tried to rationalize to me how DePaul wasn't really all that better of a team. Couldn't believe it. The article just confirms nothing has changed, it may have even gotten worse.
I think that it was kind of them to remember Georgetown, even though GU didn't make the tournament this year.
Actually, other than going on a bit long, I think it's kinda funny. Still wish they were in the BE.
I see Boeheim's slap on da wrist really bf'ed them, ai na?
