GIFs of the Week

It's that time again, where endless loops of video goodness descend upon your screens.

This week, the goodness is not as rich with only one not-so-spectacular Syracuse game. If you see any GIF worthy videos, make sure to leave them in the comments or tweet videos to us @CusePulpDesoto or @CusePulpTashmo.

And since there wasn't much SU material out there, here's an oldie but goodie. I'm pretty sure this is what everyone does to their TV when Reggie speaks.

#FabMeloRumors - Fab Himself Clears Things Up

Through the tireless work of tweeps, twitterers or the twitterverse, a lot has been uncovered about Fab Melo's recent disappearance. Most theories were sound and there were clear elements of truth. Yet one stood out above the rest.


First of all, it's thrilling to see that Fab has become a Liam Neeson fan.

This got us thinking, maybe we've only seen the American version of "The Grey." Down in Brazil, the title may be the same, but there's a more recognizable Brazilian star:

#FabMeloRumors

You're definitely coming to this site for fair and accurate reporting on the Fab Melo situation, right? Well, anyway ... Twitter never lies. Here's the latest on where Fab has been and when he might be able to come back. From #FabMeloRumors.


A prof. tried to throw away a crumpled piece of paper that was viciously blocked into their eye causing serious retina damage


Fab Melo has spent the past 2 weeks in Dagobah studying to be a Jedi Knight. 


Following in footsteps of all great SU centers, Fab is DJ'ing in South Beach. 


Fab Melo was actually hired as an interim cherry picker for cats, midgets, etc. who were stuck in trees 


": Fab Melo is actually a crime fighting super hero that needed a few days off to fight evil. Hell b bak Sat " BUSTED


Since Fab, himself, retweeted that last one, we know it must be true. Take that "journalism."


Add to the flow of citizen journalism with the hashtag #FabMeloRumors and help us get to the TRUTH.

Hey, you can't call my wife fat. That's my job!

You may have noticed that Syracuse fans can tend to be a little ... well ... insecure.

It's true. While we are famous for ripping on our own teams and pointing out our own flaws, the second any "outsiders" start ripping on the Orange, we immediately circle the wagons. Ron Morris knows a thing or two about that.

G'Orange
With that in mind, let's break down the most common complaints by Orange Nation. Have a better one that we missed? Put it in the comments.

1. "We should play more man-to-man."
Because, you know, Jim Boeheim doesn't know what he's talking about, and could learn a lot from your frequent rants at Tully's.
2.  "ESPN hates us."
Because it's not like ESPN has any positive connections to Syracuse in any way shape or form.
3. "The national media hate us."
Because being the college basketball team mentioned most by the top media outlets is always a bad thing.
4. "Pollsters hate us."
Because it's not good enough to receive 95 percent of the top votes in the country for six-consecutive weeks.
5. "No one can pronounce Syracuse player names."
This one's actually kind of true. Arinze Onuaku was a five-year player on a team that was ranked No. 1 in the country, and they could never get it right. And don't even get me started on Ryan Nassib. You know, sometimes ESPN and the national media are just so biased ... Pin It Now!

Baye Keita's new diet

It's no secret Baye has been getting pushed around a lot. With Fab out, it's just becoming a little more obvious, and Yancy Gates did a pretty good job of pointing out the slender Keita's main deficiency. He's just too damn skinny.

Thankfully, there's a solution. Word is, Baye is on a new diet, and his friends helped him put it together.

Cheesesteaks (Scoop Jardine)
Good thing scoop cut back on the cheeseteaks
Scoop told Donna back in November that his favorite food is the good old Philly Cheesesteak (did you know Scoop is from Philly???). Plus, Baye just needs to put on half the weight Scoop lost from freshman year to be effective.

Brazilian Steakhouse (Fab Melo)
Mmmm ... meat rods
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you couldn't get an endless supply of meat in Senegal. Fab could probably show his fellow big man a thing or two about binge eating.

Peanut Butter and Fluff (Michael Carter-Williams)
It's so nice they let a child hang out with the team
Sure, MCW doesn't look like he can eat, since he weighs 85 lbs (approximately). But eventually he'll hit puberty and that PB and Fluff will go straight to his gut.

Christmas Cookies (Rakeem Christmas)
 Insert pun here ...

GIFs of the Week

This week in GIFs, we focus on some terrible refereeing, and a great answer by Syracuse. For some reason, some of these GIFs are in hyperspeed, which just makes them that more entrancing. First up, the debacle that was Notre Dame. While Syracuse's bad play clearly lost them the game, Tim Higgins and his strangely purple nose did not help.

Our coach is tougher than your coach

There was a lot of outrage over this Cincinnati/Xavier brawl back in December.



But the truth is, this has happened before, even at our beloved Syracuse University.



Let's just say, the way the coaches reacted to the brawls, was ... slightly ... different.

The Annoying Notre Dame Player Awards

Most Syracuse fans can agree that Notre Dame is annoying. Whether it's the (literally) holier than thou attitude, touchdown Jesus or the ugly white shooter. They're just so irritating.

And these guys have been the most annoying in the past 10 years. (note: there's probably more annoying guys from before 2002, but I didn't really see any of them play, so I'd just be basing it off box score numbers, and you can do that yourself).

The Kardashian Family Annoying Brother Award
And the winner is ... Luke Zeller
At least no Zellers went to Duke
Luke, Tyler and Cody Zeller decided to go to school at Notre Dame, North Carolina and Indiana. Seriously guys, pick more annoying schools.


Runner up: Ben Hansbrough
Hansrough was an OK player, who averaged 10.5 points per game in two meetings with SU. He's no Tyler, but that doesn't make us hate him any less.

The We Respect You, But Just F*#$ing Graduate Already Award
We get it, you try really hard
And the winner is ... 
Luke Harangody
Harangody is among the all-time greats in Big East history, and he didn't disappoint against SU, dropping 22.2 PPG and pulling down 13.6 RPG. You would score a lot of points too, though, if you put up literally 100 shots in five games, and your hair looked like it was grown on a chia pet.


Runner up: Torin Fancis
Honestly, I barely remember Francis, but he was remarkably consistent against the Orange, averaging 16 points and 9.5 rebounds per game (six games in four years). He scored at least 13 points every game and grabbed at least 6 boards every game.

Digger Phelps - The Creeper of Notre Dame

Sure, Syracuse has had it's own issues with coaches recently, but that doesn't mean that this doesn't exist. I wonder what Touchdown Jesus would do if he saw any of this.

What lies ahead - Notre Dame

It feels like forever since the last SU hoops game, but we've almost made it to Saturday, so let's look ahead to the Orange's upcoming foe.

RELATED POST - The Creeper of Notre Dame

No, they're not just playing against Eric Atkins, Jerian Grant and Jack Cooley - three players that have averaged double figures for the Irish, which is something even Syracuse can't boast about this year.

They're up against this ...

Who do you want taking the last shot?

Syracuse is faced with a two point deficit with 5 seconds left to play. Since there are no players on the team capable of taking and potentially making a shot, you have the choice of the following go - to guys from the big screen. Who would you choose?


Bruce Willis

He will always fight to the very last drop of blood pouring out of his body. No matter if out-manned or literally pouring his organs all over the floor, Bruce does not give in. Arnold simply outmuscles people and hasn't had as hard a strength of schedule. It's hard to design plays for Stallone - he just runs straight forward. From Germans to aliens to rapists, Bruce will be the last one standing. 

Jean Claude Van Damme

While not the roughest player in the world, he's an excellent learner. Will take what his coach (sensei) tells him and apply it to perfection. Doesn't overly hammer opponents but has the requisite swagger and confidence to finish.

First, the Cuse-related plays. Sure there were a lot of pretty plays on Saturday and Monday. But then there were also plays like Fab Melo's dive against oxygen.

Next up, CJ Fair with quite the dunk-nasty face. It's truly a shame that we had to listen to ESPN's A-squad instead of Dickey Simpkins

Now on to the rest of the world of sports:
Washington State's coach Ken Bone badly wanted that timeout. So bad that he made a scene to make sure the ref knew what he was calling for.
