To stay in one time zone?? Is this the best excuse Jim can come up with? What's next? That drunk Elvis impersonator at West Virginia telling folks it is great our players will have to travel three time zones and 1,200 miles for every game because learning geography is good for the Mountaineer program.
Yes Jim the Big East is not what it used to be because scumbag college presidents are simply chasing dollars and proving to their Finance majors that greed is good. Oh, and it not what it used to be because Syracuse, Pitt, BC, and West Virginia destroyed their relationship with the founding members. It is not what it used to be because the ACC wants to become the Big East in basketball where the ACC had become the #2 basketball conference on the East coast. Oh, and pushing 70 it is important for Jim to play in one time zone, eat lunch at 11 am, dinner at 4 and not remember your associate head coach was a degenerate predator and his wife was sucking off the bench players because, well Jim, age does funny things to a college coaches judgment.....

This is nothing more than the President of SU telling Jimmy, "Who signs his paychecks", and to make "the New York alumni happy". Don't read anything more into it and don't schedule them.

I will bash Syracuse to my dying breath but never, ever will I say a negative thing about that fine piece of tail....Mrs. Boeheim! A man has his limits.

Your on the money class of 72 great points!
Johnnies need to take back the Garden bigtime & the less scuse & pitt play there its to our advantage.
As i said before a Holiday fest with Florida or Kentucky will draw especially if the johnnies are ranked top 25
Boeheim is just being a compliant soldier. Truth of the matter is Syracuse is moving to the ACC because of two idiots. Chancelor Nancy Cantor and AD Dr. Daryl Gross. When this move was first announced you could tell by certain things that Boeheim said in the local newspaper showed his displeasure. Cantor and Gross are from the Left Coast and know nothing about the traditions or history of the Big East nor do they care. Speaking to people in the street, I can say clearly, most of the ones I have talked to are against the move, and are not excited about it.
I hate Syracuse for leaving the BE, and I love rooting against them (fan of STJ and any team playing against Cuse). That said, I'm looking forward to playing them anytime, anywhere during the Lavin era, as long as Cuse remains a top program. All this talk about STJ needing to protect its turf by avoiding MSG games against Cuse is, IMO, weak. If we are truly a program on the rise, with one of the top recruiting staffs in the country and on the cusp of becoming a perennial top 25 team, we shouldn't shy away from any major program looking to play us at home. And this notion about punishing Cuse for leaving the BE by not playing them at MSG is also, IMO, a loser mentality. I say let's punish them by kicking their asses everytime we play them at MSG.

You should have stopped at "I hate Syracuse" :Z
Refresh my memory....how many times has Cuse scheduled schools that left the Big East? It is about integrity and market share. Ever think of the scumbag Cuse fans chants at MSG if SJ gets beaten on national TV??? Great publicity, ya think????
Blowing Cuse out after they leave the Big East does nothing. It's pointless. All you're doing is giving their fanbase a shorter and easier road trip.
I don't care what the other BE schools do, but I hope SJU cuts them off completely.
If they want to play in NY, they can schedule games at the Barclay Center.
The NCAA selection committee loves storylines and local matchups, so we can meet them at a neutral site in the NCAA tourney.
But they should never step foot in MSG again unless it's a preseason invitational tourney against some other team or the NIT.
DFF6,
It is not about "ducking" anyone. The concept of not scheduling a team that leaves the Big East was initiated by former Syracuse AD Jake Crothemel as a way to deny the team the geographic attraction it previously enjoyed. That is why Syracuse refused to play Boston college, VaTeck and UMiami. Mr. Crothemel's talking point was that BC had left the Big East to join the "southern schools" which is what St.John's and other Big East schools should say about SU.
I am at a loss to understand how you can spin Crothemel's position into SU "ducking" BC, VaTeck and UMiami.

Forget it Otis he and others just do not get it.
No point flogging a dead horse.
As I said earlier I hope we never play them again other than in the NCAA Tournament.
Wow. I guess no one read, or simply ignored, the part of the post to which I was responding. In said post, it read: "Ever think of the scumbag Cuse fans chants at MSG if SJ gets beaten on national TV??? Great publicity, ya think????" The quote was not from Crothemel's position (at least not that I'm aware), but from Class of 72's post. Accordingly, I am not trying to "spin" anything Crothemel said or did by my last post. In any event, I'm not trying to convince anyone of my views on this. I understand Crothemel's view, as you and other posters effectively related on this board. But, Cuse is not VaTech, Miami or Boston College. They are, for the time being, one of the top college basketball programs in the country, and I put more emphasis on playing top programs on our home court, regardless of whether they defected from the BE or not, rather than on playing the snub card for the reasons that Crothemel decided to play those many years ago against lesser college BB programs.

MSG does not dictate St. John's schedule or where we play our competition. I think we are all referring to regular season scheduling and not a Holiday Festival (fine with me), pre-season NIT or whatever. You defected from the conference----you do not get rewarded by still playing its members in demographic areas that WERE once to your advantage. You made your bed (see BC and MIami) and now you must move on.....period....the end!
