I have long admired your willingness to risk disappointment by starting each season with optimism.  You respect each season's team by analyzing in depth the units and individuals regardless of the general consensus about the team's potential.  On the other hand, I begin each season with protective skepticism as I did this year.  So, I am not as bothered by the losses as you are because I enjoy watching the kids improve with each game loss or win.  It's a copout I know; under this stuff I hate to lose as much as you do. There are chronic flaws in the SU lacrosse team.  Everyone sees them.  FOGO, gbs, ssdms, at least one long stick every year and until this year poor to mediocre goalkeeping.  What is different this year is the team's fight; they do not give up when the other team scores a couple or three in a row. I think they are confident that they can score against anyone.  This attitude will stand them in good stead next year when they may be able to compete with any D1 team.  I am looking at the recruiting for the next two years because I believe SU needs to equal the ACC team's recruits at least.  It is the consistency of UVA, Duke, Notre Dame, UNC recruiting that SU must emulate.  There must be top subs in every class to beat these teams.  One lost year puts SU at a disadvantage.  Depth is very important.  Not there this year.  Anyway keep up the good fight P22 and all the other posters who live and die with the citrus.
