NOOOOOOOO!

The news couldnt possibly be much worse.

Jonny Flynn has been selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 8th pick. Now my dreams of Nate RobinsFLYNN will never come to fruitition. I wasted all this time on this masterpiece.......

or is this the beginning of a light at the end of the tunnel for the knicks?

Here's how i see it:

Knicks recieve:

Jonny Flynn

T'Wolves Recieve:

Jordan Hill/Al Harrington

Chris Duhon/Quentin Richardson.

UPDATE:as i'm typing this..... Wayne Ellington goes to the t'wolves too!

TRADE BAIT ALERT.

i'm getting too excited over here.

anyway, just my spin on how flynn will come to NY.

The Official SU Sports Dead Period

Only three more months until football starts, and I can't wait for the first reports of the sights and sounds of summer practice. The clashing of plastic on plastic in the mild Syracuse sunshine, and hopefully the absence of the ill-fated Greg Robinson "thud drills." Will definitely post more once the pigskins start flying ladies and gentlemen, but I wanted to throw it out there that

a) I will still be sharing all thoughts relating to Orange football on this site and

b) I'm not dead.

GO ORANGE!

Our NBA Draft, By the numbers part 1:JONNY!

With the NBA draft approaching, the pre draft measurements have been made public and with that the speculation on who is going where can begin. Here's my take on the 3 guys we have in the draft and the physical attributes they bring to the table.


PG Jonny Flynn
5'11 without shoes
-Really not an issue when you're a guard, there's smaller guys out there on the floor. MUCH smaller. What was Spud Webb, like 5'3. We'll take it.

196 pounds
-he's got quite the muscles for a smaller guy. i'm 4 inches taller and 40 pounds lighter, so jonny's been hitting the weights, which is a definite key to nba success. Although combined with an inability to finish, it could be a waste of time(I'm looking at YOU Paul Harris!).

6'4 wingspan
-if he was a center, i'd call that pathetic. but for a 5'11 point guard, this is awesome news. Many people believe that a person's wingspan is as much as their height. so A+ on his wingspan.

40 inch vertical.
-I'm speechless. that's the best in the draft.

10 bench reps
-Very, Very good for a guard. Like i said earlier, the kid's got some guns

And he goes to..........
Where else do i want to put him, going with the 8th overall pick to the New York Knicks, which seems like a realistic placement. For a change my opinion may not fail me.

Coming tomorrow:Paul Harris

lawl.

i'll have the flynn article up tonight, promise.

Slow news?

Last couple of weeks have been slow for news and i've had a lot to do outside of the national title game and stuff. here's whats going on folks.


Word on the street is former SU Football player Quinn Ojinakka has been arrested following a domestic dispute. Police say that apparently he shoved his wife down a flight of stairs, then spit on her. Devo, you've been one upped.

Athlon Has us ranked 80th in their annual big east preview, now 80th may STILL seem worthless until you realize that many polls have us out of the top 100. and now the investigation begins, who paid off their writers?

Paul Chiara is now a member of the panthers, joining such brave, greg robinson coached souls like joe fields and the AMAZING Tony Fiametta. Who woulda thought ANYONE would be making a living from his coaching?


Coming Later:Who on earth is going to draft jonny flynn?

let the games begin.....

Here it is folks, your 2009 NCAA Lacrosse Championship Preview.

This one should be a doozy as both teams appear to be playing the best they have all season(otherwise, they wouldnt be here)

Cornell (13-3)
12.4 goals per game, 8.3 allowed, 41.3 shots per game
vs.

Syracuse(15-2)
13.1 goals per game, 7.3 allowed, 41 shots per game


Last game:Cornell beat Virginia 15-6
Syracuse raped Duke 17-7.

Last time they met: Syracuse won 15-10

When the Orange have the ball: Nims and Jamieson will get theirs, but look for a variety of players to step in and comprise the rest of the offense for the orange. Aside from nims, not one single player has been the true fuel for the Attackmen this spring. The one thing they need to remember is not to be afraid to run one in every once in a while so that the defense is on their toes at all times. then, dish it off for a quick stick when they've gotten used to that.

When the Big Red have it: Like syracuse, this team LOVES to shoot. look for Attackman Rob Pannell to, like nims, get his. And he also has a great supporting cast. Unfortunately, they go up against the nasty Syracuse Defense today and that is why they won't win this game.

Final prediction: Syracuse 15, Cornell 11

Syracuse- 17, Duke- 7

All Your Greg Paulus are belong to us.

Now how to get to Foxboro on Monday?

Paulus to the Orange

It's now official.

I see a new marketing opportunity for Cuse. Purchase an IHOP franchise and convert a concession stand into a new concept in sports concession marketing: IFLOP.

Syracuse and Lincoln-A Tale of 2 cities

It was the best(?) of times, It was the Worst of times.

Or so it goes.......

Today, Greg Paulus makes his decision on what university he will attend next year at approximately 10AM Eastern. And with the day finally here, i figure it's my duty to provide a complete comparison of Sir Flopsalot's two choices by category

Team:

Nebraska-Finished 9-4 last season. Offense scored 35.4 points per game last season while their opponents averaged about 28.

Syracuse-Finished a dismal 3-9 last season. Offense scored a bullshit 18 points a game while the opposition averaged 32, almost twice as many. ugh.

Advantage:Nebraska

Coaches-

Nebraska-Bo Pelini, a man widely considered as a potential NFL candidate, is entering his 3rd season as the coach for the huskers. He has a super bowl ring and is in the 2nd phase of the same sort of progression Doug Marrone is walking into.

Syracuse-Doug Marrone, Former Offensive Coordinator for New Oreleans and the man with the biggest legs i have ever seen.

Advantage:The thighs don't lie. Syracuse.

Agricultural Product in Question

Nebraska-Corn. whoopee.

How is it harmful? Well you can always TRY to club someone over the head with an ear of corn. No guarantees that your victims will take you seriously ever again.

Syracuse-ORANGES! You squeeze em, and if all goes well you've successfully pepper sprayed the asshole in front of you. You can't even be charged with assault if you're sneaky enough!

Advantage-Syracuse

Mascot

Nebraska-Herbie Husker. Oh shit, a corn farmer. What's he gonna do, pull out a shotgun if Otto tries anything with his daughter?

This guy really fails to scare me. at all.

Syracuse-Otto. America's badass citrus fruit. Consider this: What's a farmer when his crops dont grow? A homeless piece of shit.

Advantage-Otto.

Other factors-

Nebraska- When greg cries, the "ears" are always there to listen. Just don't flop in the cornfield or herbie just MIGHT shoot you.

Syracuse-Snow. Lots of it. He lived with it for 18 years, i think he can tolerate some more snow.

Advantage-Take your pick.

I think we all know who the winner is today kids............... Stay tuned for my breakdown following the announcement.

It is now 8:45 AM, and Nebraska still sucks.

Happy Mother's Day

from everyone here at SWRLU.  Because people who don't treat their mothers well on Mother's Day are almost certainly Hoyas.
