I watched SU play three times this year in person and a couple of times on TV.
 
The game at JHU in person was particularly instructive. This year's team doesn't have the players that we used to have and we really miss one or two or three of the big time players we have typically have. I mean, look at the teams we lost to. We barely got by St "Freaking" Johns.
 
Some would say that everyone else has gotten better because of there is more talent on more teams because of the growth of the game. I hear that and it would seem to make sense. But when I watched this year's team, it was disappointing. One of our better teams from the past would have beaten this year's squad by a whole lot of goals.
 
I don't know what the answer is other than "get better players". Maybe Mrs. Simmons --- if she is still around ---could co-sign for some cars for the players wives or girlfriends.
 
I don't care how they do it, just do it.
 
I'm willing to sit through the long slog back to football relevance. It's OK if basketball is a constant fixture in the top 20 even if they don't make the Final 4 often. But I expect SU Lax to dominate. To never lose. To win so many NC's that they stop having the tourney and mail us the trophy every year at the start of the season.
