SU athletics has made major strides and is in a good place. The move to the ACC, the status of the Bball & Lacrosse programs, progress in the non-revenue sports, and the rejuvenation of Fball have us headed strongly in a good direction. It would appear that SU is working hard on the sports programs in general.

That being said, I've been in mourning over the loss to Rutgers but feel the worst for the coaches & players. It was a tough loss and will linger a while. The coaches are intensely focused on improving the program & the Rutgers loss hurts them personally as well as their efforts to recruit & motivate. The team gave away a much needed win and it's gotta sting the players & coaches so much worse than ourselves as fans. If they felt worse than I do over that loss, they must have been miserable. Rutgers ST is all that it's cracked up to be, but the players (and coaches to some degree) gave the game away and created their own hardship.

I expect they'll respond to the adversity that they created and hope it carries over through the rest of the season. They need to have a strong effort at Tulane, but need to play tough in the BE and don't have much room for error. I'm still believing they'll do us proud this year overall with good prospects for next year as well. I'm having to cut the kool-aid with something harder, but it still tastes pretty good.
