Please welcome to the Big East Tournament Championship:
Gerry McNamara and the Pacemakers
Gerry McNamara and the Pacemakers
Note: This blog is still operative. Despite its outward appearance, it has not regressed into a photography blog of little to no consequence.
However, regular blogging nonsense will be suspended until Gerry McNamara decides to stop playing the role of Savior in Syracuse's daily religious experience.
This self-imposed hiatus is for a twofold purpose. First, I have not published a substantive piece since Syracuse started its tournament run. Accordingly, I refuse to jinx this team by writing some drivel about how the Orange was in the NCAA tournament as early as Wednesday afternoon.
Second, I'm not really sure what to write. To be frank, there are only so many ways to write about "McNamania." Thus, in order to avoid being repetitive and putting together some pieces on how 2006 Gerry is eerily similar to 2003 Gerry, I'll restrain myself to only responding to questions or comments left under each essay. As a consequence, everyone should win.
Especially Syracuse basketball.
I'm along for the ride...and I'm even fired up for the HUGE Albany/Vermont tilt at noon. That heart attack is coming.
Albany needs to win that game.
With Vermont and Syracuse positioning themselves for bid seeds similar to what they garnered last year, there is a reasonable chance that each could face each other in round one of the NCAA tournament.
Just like 2005.
What's more, Syracuse and Hopkins renew their annual rivalry this coming Saturday -- the same weekend Syracuse could possibly face-off against the Catamounts on the hardwood.
Just like 2005.
I'm want no part of that karma.
I am very high on the Great Danes...the Brothers Wilson (no relation) will get it done. There can be no rematch.
How the hell did Vermont actually win games to get to this point?
They are terrible.
