College Basketball, Big East Basketball, Syracuse Basketball

With March finally here in Upstate New York and the shivers running up my spine with all the frigid temperatures, I can think of one thing that boils my blood and warms me.

I have been a lifelong Orangemen fan and this year has been especially painful. That steal of Paul Harris' last Saturday incited a list of expletives that have never been hurled from anyone's mouth.

This year my big toe has suffered more bruises from kicking any object to take out my frustration on this team.

This team is fun to watch and very talented, but they are fatigued and this is why they are losing. Their fate is now in their own hands—win out and two in the Big East tourney and we get in right?

I would think so, but then again we have the haters.

Seth Davis, Joe Lunardi, and Doug Gottlieb are the CEO, CFO, and President of the I BASH SYRACUSE COMPANY. They are the ones who start the rumors and the PR campaign to make sure we don't get in.

Why is that? Is Gottleib jealous that he could never ever play a lick at Okie State? Seth Davis is a waste of an AP vote and shouldn't even be allowed the luxury of sharing the same stage with Clark Kellog. And Lunardi is the most annoying of them all.

What makes him the doctor of bracketology? Who made him boss? What is his claim to fame? Nothing. ESPN just employed another annoying guy (Dick Vitale) and rolled with him.

I can't blame this all on the media, however, because one thing will stand certain come March: NONE OF THE EXPERTS will have picked it right.
