Many news sources are reporting Bruce Peal was fired today.  I'd like to take this moment conclusively state that Tobias Harris made the wrong decision by attending Tennessee.  It's impossible to debate me on this fact.

Many SU fans huddled around our TVs and participated in online discussions while Harris chose Tennessee over SU and some other schools.  We hated that he chose New York City and a restaurant minutes from where SU fans congregated during a game as the place to make his decision.  What bothered me the most though, was that Harris said the decision was based on coaching... Coaching?  I couldn't imagine how Bruce Peal was better than Jim Boeheim.

Well, we recently learned that Bruce Peal is definitely not better than JB.  Period, point blank.  A consequence of Peal's NCAA violations is the end the coaching relationship Harris sought.  I know Harris is a very good player and could probably go to the NBA, but I just want to remind him that Jim Boeheim is still coaching.  Harris could have been here in sunny Syracuse playing with a reputable coaching staff.  Albeit neither team is in the NCAA tournament after the first weekend, but I am sure that I'm correct... Tobias should have come to SU.

Onondaga County DA William Fitzpatrick gave an online Q&A on the conviction of Jenni-Lyn Watson's murderer.  He made a couple interesting SU Basketball references when answering questions.   A link to the conversation and the SU parts are below...

Here is quote one:

Al :   Was the police monitoring syracuse.com's comment section below the original stories of her disappearance, and did Pieper leave a comment about looking at certain suspects or possible locations of where she might be found? Thursday February 17, 2011 11:36

William Fitzpatrick:  I have no knowledge that Pieper logged on to syracuse.com. If a blogger were to indicate that he or she had knowledge of a crime, we would make efforts to identify that person, but just like it's true that Scoop Jardine never shaved points, not everything on syracuse.com is the gospel truth.
