2007-2008 Syracuse Basketball Preview: The Jonny Flynn Project

I know. I've been so wrapped up in the Packers that I neglected to realize that 'Cuse basketball starts tonight. At least they're better than the football team....

Update: Here's the game notes with everything you really need, straight from SUAthletics.com.....

Roster

What's different?

- No more Terrence Roberts and no more Demitrius Nichols. Thank God. I got really sick of those two cockfags last year, and am happy they're gone. But there's just one problem....how are we going to replace them? With Donte Greene and Sean Williams, two blue-chip prospects, that's how.

- No Andy Rautins, who blew out his knee in a pickup game over the summer. Idiot. Which presents a little of a problem with Nichols gone too - lack of perimeter shooting. Which means guys like White Chocolate (that's Eric Devendorf for the uninformed) and Paul Harris need to step it up, along with the new guys.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.....

- Jim Boeheim. He's Christ.

- Soft schedule at home until January, which is sure to piss off that cockgobbler Doug Gottlieb at ESPN.

Home and homes: 'Nova, G-Town, and South Florida. Figures that we don't get UConn in a down year twice, but we have to get G-Town.....fucking network ratings.....
