I just returned from the SU bookstore. They have tables heaped up with
\nOrange t-shirts; the place is all a’bustle with game-day celebrants grabbing up
\nenough tees for the family. The two shirts: (in white) 2006 Big East
\nTournament Champions and (in orange) Overrated. I’m all for Jee-Mack
\nputting on one of the ‘Overrated’ shirts after SU won the conference title last
\nweekend, but I can’t say it’s a shirt I’d feel confident wearing during
\ntonight’s game against Texas A&M. I think SU will win the game, but the
\n‘Overrated’ shirt is a jinx of all jinxes, if ever a sporting jinx could be
\nproved, that is. The thing is, Jee-Mack was brilliant in the Big East
\ntourney, and Boeheim might’ve been right about SU not winning ten flocking games
\nthis season without him. Just to keep things in perspective, however, SU
\ndidn’t have the greatest of seasons until last week<\/i>. Granted, like
\nmy coach used to remind us (after those rare wins), you’re only as good as your
\nlast game. I’d wait until the end of the NCAAs to boast about Jee-Mack’s
\nrating. He’s one of the best SU players for his career, and he had an
\nastounding streak of success last week, but they still have games remaining<\/i>.
\nAnd if he’s awf against A&M or LSU, I can’t say I’d want to be wearing an
\n‘Overrated’ shirt when their season comes to wraps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
