The class rooms are often over packed and the parking is very limited and near impossible at times. No day time hours either D-

As someone who was born and raised on ACC basketball in North Carolina, I thought it was weird when…read moreSyracuse joined the ACC in 2013. I still remember the Denny's comment Jim Boeheim made to reporters when Syracuse visited Providence during the team's last season in the Big East. Full quote below: "We've been coming here for 34 years. That's a lot of history. Every one of these games is a little bit of sadness for me. I know where all the good restaurants are now, and now I've got to go down to Clemson, S.C. I'm sure there's a couple of Denny's down there. They'll like me a lot now in Clemson. I like to make friends before I get down there." Source: https://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2013/01/10/jim-boeheim-on-the-acc-im-sure-theres-a-couple-of-dennys-down-there/. Another quote from Boeheim regarding Syracuse leaving the Big East for the ACC: "We've played St. John's for 100 years, and we played them when I was in school. We would want to play St. John's definitely without question. Yes, we'd play Georgetown. No question we'd be open to playing those two schools for sure." Source: https://www.espn.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/35444/coaches-react-to-conference-shakeup. Syracuse played in the Big East from 1979 to 2013. They're a classic Big East team, but as college sports fans know, the landscape has changed. As an ACC fan, Georgia Tech alum, and Georgia Tech men's basketball season ticket holder, I'm used to seeing Syracuse as a conference member/opponent now. I've seen Boeheim and the Orange every time they've rolled through Atlanta. Syracuse is definitely one of the brand names in college basketball so the school's addition to the ACC, which in my biased opinion is the best conference in college basketball, was a smart move and a good fit. While Syracuse has won only one NCAA tournament championship - 2003 with Carmelo Anthony - the program currently ranks in the top 10 in NCAA Division I in several metrics: total victories, win percentage, NCAA tournament appearances, NCAA tournament wins, and Final Four appearances. At the time of writing this, only Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA, and Duke have earned more NCAA tournament bids than Syracuse. Indiana, Louisville, Villanova, and Notre Dame round out the top 10 (the Irish, somewhat surprising). Elite company. The most glaring difference between Syracuse and these other teams is these other teams have won multiple NCAA tournament championships. Jim Boeheim played basketball for Syracuse from 1963 to 1966, joined the program as an assistant coach in 1969, and was named head coach in 1976. He's still Syracuse's head coach today at age 76. The 2021-2022 season will be his 46th season as head coach of the Orange. Just a crazy number. Boeheim has shown no signs of slowing down. Under his leadership, the program has earned at-large berths in the last three NCAA tournaments with two Sweet 16 appearances including this most recent year (2021) as an 11-seed. Only fellow ACC coach, Mike Krzyzewski of the Duke Blue Devils, has more years coaching and more wins than Boeheim, all-time, among Division I head coaches. Boeheim's consistency is impressive and admirable. He's definitely one of college basketball's greatest coaches. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005. A living legend, Syracuse, the ACC, and the college basketball world should enjoy Boeheim while he's still coaching. He could retire any day like Roy Williams seemed to suddenly do on April 1, 2021 (not an April Fools' joke). Coach K announced his retirement on June 2, 2021 - the 2021-22 season will be K's last.

I would not recommend Rome Pool and Spa based on my experience…read more Initially, I was very disappointed with the poor communication that occurred leading up to the installation of my liner. They then installed a new liner in my pool, but during the installation my pool frame was damaged. After discovering the damage, I immediately contacted them to notify them of the damage. The management (Beth) was unreceptive to request to assess the damage and I made multiple requests to attempt to rectify the situation by repeatedly asking to have them come back and assess the issue. Rather than taking the time to inspect what happened, they were dismissive and unprofessional throughout the entire process. Instead of accepting any responsibility or even investigating the damage, they blamed the winter weather, suggesting that leek and fold in the frame following the liner installation, was a result of rust never brought to my attention and winter wear and tear. Those explanations made little sense given the circumstances, and they seemed more interested in avoiding responsibility than helping resolve the problem. especially since a new liner should never leak. Good customer service doesn't end when the job is finished--it includes standing behind your work if something goes wrong. Unfortunately, this company refused to cooperate in any meaningful way or work toward a fair resolution. If you're looking for a company that stands behind its workmanship and treats customers professionally after the sale, this was not my experience.
