Message: [QUOTE="Delmar, post: 2207445, member: 3944"] The bane and blessing of being a Syracuse lacrosse fan is the legacy of teams that were juggernauts. There are no more teams like that. No team that can win 5 championships in a decade as we did in the 2000's. No 2006 Virginia team. As we size up where we are next year our comparisons should be against other teams, and not the ridiculous standard of excellence of our past. The spread of the game (which is good) and the diffusion of talent brings inevitable parity. I am hopeful for two reasons: we did pretty well this year for a team that wasn't supposed to win 8 games (See Quint's analysis after the Army loss); and as a resident of the Capital Region, I've been able to chart Lucas Quinn's performance this year. Good players still want to come to Syracuse, and we have improved our recruiting the last couple of years. [/QUOTE]
