Yes, on the rise.

"... Then again, East Carolina is not your normal directional school, and North Carolina is not your standard underachieving state school with all of the resources and none of the know-how.

And I know that you went by this part:

"... The Misery Index knew there were problems with this Syracuse team from the get-go when it needed some semi-miraculous happenings just to escape the season opener with a double-overtime victory over Villanova."

I think when you translate that it means that Sorryexcuse sucks.

or it means that Syracuse is getting 20 mill a year

no but seriously this is the first time i've ever seen an ECU fan acknowledge an article that has the directional school tag.

East Carolina is not actually a directional school in the way that you think. ECU is actually the University of North Carolina-Greenville campus. And North Carolina State is actually the University of North Carolina-Raleigh campus.

i've heard this talking point and the "we are east not eastern so it doesn't count" talking point 1000 times. not taking a side here and questioning whether those talking points are legitimate or not, i've just never seen an ECU fan reference an article that calls ECU directional without going on a rant about how dumb that sportswriter is.

for the sake of brevity, you and the sportswriter can refer to ECU as the "team that will have a better ACC record than Syracuse, is ranked and doesnt play in a dome that smells like garbage, urine and stinky feet"

for the sake of brevity

You forgot the part about the dome being a good place to get stabbed:

For a while, we were calling the Syracuse Carrier Dome the "Stabacuse Scarier Dome"

This coming from a UConn Fan?

Jasper Howard is so proud of you.

Fact is when you bring in 30k fans in for a hoops game there is always a few thugs...throw out a Midnight Madness, with a RAP artist and free admission and a stabbing happened...so what. Fans of Memphis and UConn have no ground to stand on here.

#butthurtfanboyz

Jasper Howard got stabbed on a sidewalk by some punk who wasn't a student. He didn't get stabbed in one of our arenas. So, yes, this is coming from a UConn fan. A stabbing in rural Storrs is rare. Are you actually trying to argue that that rural Storrs is more dangerous than grubby Syracuse? I suppose that you think that the cows and horses in Storrs are dangerous gang members? Syracuse is an absolute toilet bowl of a city. It makes Hartford look like Paris.

#butthurtcusefanz

And the punk who stabbed another punk in the Dome were not students either...I find it hypocritical to bring up a stabbing from a UConn fan.

Sorry but Hartford is no Paris...in fact it has a higher crime rate than Syracuse..so it is not only a sh!thole but a dangerous one.
