Bringing the wife to the game tonight and she isn’t interested in walking from my normally parking spot by Syracuse Stage. Anyone know where the shuttle from Hotel Syracuse drops off and how easy it is to use? I know a few people have said they use it, just trying to make my life a little easier...

Let’s say you have an opportunity for a 10 minute sit down with John Wildhack, what would you ask or want to discuss? Could be lax related, SU related or ESPN related. How about ten minutes with Desko? Have a friend that developing an interview series with same concept and it got me thinking...

I know a lot of folks like to take shots at this guy for his rankings, his website and the job he created for himself, but he had one of the best tweet chains in a while. And anyone that has any involvement with club lacrosse can share their horror stories. Good for Ty for making a statement...

Alright, we all know JeremyCuse won the contest, but let’s see how everyone did this season. 23-19 Happy to be over .500 after being just under most of the year.

I have no clue what my third game is going to be yet, but here are the lines. After four weeks they make no more sense than they did in week one.

This is really long... Tried starting this a couple of times but I have been sidetracked by family each time. A lot has been written about this game and I won’t rehash all of it. First, I’ll focus on Albany. Man they are good, like national champion contender good. A few years ago when they had...

Pretty tired, just going to throw out a bunch of thoughts from today. I misspell a bunch of names, so numbers will do. SU offense is going to be very strong this year. I like that it will be more traditional, meaning attack (29) is main ball carrier and middies will dodge from the top and...

Duke-High Point is a Thursday, so if you want that get to picking...

Ok all you lacrosse fans (CreaseRat Faegan JeremyCuse Zack80 laxsummit orange79 Powellfan ctlax Orangelax 4evaOrange cuseguy sholokov2 PhatOrange swish7 ) we are going to have a weekly picking contest this season. Here are some of the rules... 1. Lax Vegas Lines will be used. 2. Pick 3 games a...

Another closed to the public scrimmage. I feel bad for the players parents. Most of them are spending a decent amount of cash to send their boys to these three private schools and they can’t even watch this scrimmage. I’m interested to see how they roll the players out versus Hofstra. I am...

A few outlets are reporting the former Cornell coach will be the next HC at Delaware. The word on the streets this spring was UD was looking to spend serious money to land a major coach. I have to think that Dave Metzbower turned this down before they went with DeLuca. Metz played and assisted...

I reserve the right to change these later in week, but here is a no thought first run... Maryland Syracuse Loyola ND Denver Duke PSU Albany A few weeks ago I thought there would be at least three first round upsets but I only ended up w two. I think Albany is going to truck UNC. Albany is way...

Midway thru the first half of the UVA game, I posted that this team was a mediocre squad. At that point they had played pretty average Lacrosse and were playing down to their competition. There was too much reliance of ISO dodges and a lot of standing around on offense. The defense looked like...

Big day for the Orange. The boys should just be getting up and ready for team meal at 8am. It has probably changed, and the nutritionists know better, but Slugger always had steak, eggs and pasta on the pregame breakfast menu. I digress, here goes... Maryland v SU, SU 11-9. On paper, Terps get...

Just convinced my neighbors to go to the game tonight. They moved here from Virginia LR winter and have never been in the dome for a game. Anyone have a line on three tickets instead of them wrangling with scalpels or box office? Thanks!

Has not been a ton of promoting going on, but this Friday night is the 50th Letterwinner of Distiction ceremony at the Turning Stone. This honor is bestowed on former SU Letterwinners who have achieved success both on the field and in life. Two of the awardees this year are major figures in...

Forgot to mention earlier in the summer that Americas Got Talent contestant and baldwinsville resident Julia Goodwin is the daughter of former SU Lacrosse Player John Goodwin. Goody was an attackman on the team in the late 80s. If you have watched the show you have seen him with his super...

Wanted to wait a couple of days (work turns it into almost a week) before posting my thoughts on last Sunday and the season. First, Sunday was a terrible game all around. You cannot pin that loss on one group, one player or one coach. That loss was a true team effort. From the start the passes...

Team and staff have done an unreal job turning this season around. Just back from vacation and didn't get a chance to watch Fridays game, sounds like it was a great one based on what I have read here. Looking forward to senior day next week and the start of the Pressler era next year! ;)

1. Faceoffs. Charlie Raffa is way better than the guys Daddio has been up against so far. Need to keep the solid start going and keep it around 50/50. Will need a lot of help from the wings. 2. Goalie battle. Niko Amato has been top notch for MD for what seems like 6 years. SU will need...

Finally had a chance to watch the entire game from Sunday. Overall, I was very impressed with our team's ability to put points on the board and buckle down when it was on the line. Random thoughts: 1. We have a lot of guys who are top notch offensive players 2. Goaltending was very good from...

Did this last year and no one else bothered to follow suit. Woody, Jeremy, wvlax, Zack80 and all others please throw some predictions out. Regular Season Record - 12-3 Final Record - 14-4 Most Points - Staats Most Assists - Rice Most Ground Balls - Harris Best Faceoff Percentage (min 50 draws)...

Congrats to Coach Desko, awarded the FieldTurf CoY for last season. A great honor for an outstanding job last season. In addition, an upstate sweep of the mens awards as both D2 & D3 coaches are Rochester natives. http://www.pr.com/press-release/536377

Burnt Orange, SU lacrosse alumni team, will play the Big Red Steelhead (Cornell) today in Lake Placid in one of the Masters 1 (over 30) semifinal. Burnt Orange is the two time defending champions of the Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament. The team consists of numerous stars from the 90s and...

Read thru a lot of the posts from yesterday and this morning, instead of posting responses in each I will just compile some thoughts on season, yesterday and future into one stream of conscious post. Here goes... Overall a great season. Very proud of the seniors on this team, especially...

To get everyone fired up for tomorrow. We don't want mediocrity, we want gold. It is up to the players on the field, 60 minutes of head, heart and hustle. Gold x 12 Chills every time this man speaks...

Says that on the inside of my national championship ring and those of my brothers in orange. These kids have played to that mantra all season long. I sure as hell had my doubts after Albany and many other times but they always proved me wrong. In 1997 Coach Simmons handed out t-shirts for the...

Very good fight from the Orange. They were down most of the first half and battled back to get it to even. Didn't seem like they had the ball once in last 10 minutes of the game. Future is bright with Kayla Trainor leading the way. Going to have to replace some defenders and toughness, but...

About to faceoff on espn3. Gonna need someone unexpected to step up to beat UMD. Webster? Goalies? Collins? Who wants to be the hero to lead the team to their first title?

Lamolinara to start in goal tonight. Tough spot for first start, weather and night lights could cause problems. LGO HHH SU 14 Prov 8

Cornell down one to Bucknell with 5 min to play. Near whiteout conditions at times during game. Bucknell's d is outstanding. Hopefully the weather does not effect SU the same way today.

I am ready for this game. Tickets already in the car. Holy Shirt, check. Syracuse sweatshirt, check. Cuse socks, check. Coffee in block S mug, check. Daughters milk in orange and blue cup, check. Going to be tough to kill some time this morning. May have to hit Barnes and Noble to pick...

Braedon Gait committed to Princeton today. Gary Gait's son, plays midfield for CBA. I am sure this will draw some comments.

Casey Vock at Inside Lacrosse is reporting that Ryan Simmons will join the SU lacrosse team next year following a PG year at Salisbury School. He will be the fourth generation of Simmons' to be part of the SU Lacrosse Legacy. Saw him play a couple of games at FM last year and was impressed...
