ND 2-0 over ALbany - O'connor owns the X for ND

[longtimefan]

Miles and Ty are graduating so 4 years with the thompsons and they have 1 tourney win. Lyle's on his own next year, they will be lucky to make the tourney

Albany may not be back in the tourney next season, but I wouldn't write them off entirely. They do have some decent history as a program. Remember Resitarits, Thomson and Queener? They gave SU fits just a few years ago. I expect Marr will continue to recruit well. He'll likely continue to bring in Canadians and/or Natives to beef up his roster.

You must be young, or have a short memory.

1983 championship game--Hopkins 12, SU 5 well into the 3rd.

Final: SU 17, Hopkins 16.

I was 11 in 1983 and had absolutely 0 interest in sports at the time.

Then you ought to do a bit more research before declaring it unlikely that a game has "ever" been so in the bag.

You can lighten up a bit, I think. It's probably not the first time hyperbole has been used on the internet...

Maybe I should. But I think any SU lax fan would be aware of the game that announced the arrival of the Orange on the national scene.

Plus, I am captain of the Hyperbole Patrol.

Yah, definitely should. It was hyperbolic, but not far off. Getting to the F4 was Albany's NC. Anyhow, it is in the pointless to debate category. Clearly JHU fans suffered a worse letdown in '83. And yes, I was aware of the '83 game. But, don't feel the need to run through a db of historical games before posting. Huge letdown for Albany is the point. The fact there was worse joylessness in Mudville in 1924 is not worth exploring.

If anything, as a fan of writing in general, I try to avoid cliches, hyperbole, and black/white statements. However, they are easy crutches, and frankly I fail all too often in avoiding them. My bad, never again. Oops.
