Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 5028781, member: 6809"] Powellfan & JeremyCuse, I wanted to say that I admire your knowledge of the game of Lacrosse and your write ups before and after each game. I wish I knew more about the intricacies of the sport, short stick vs long stick, the general plan of each game against the opponent and the various things that go into each game. The closest player to the balls that go out of bounds behind the goalie gets possession? Coming into Syracuse I was an All - State Quarterback at a prep school in NJ, the NJ 100 Yard Dash Champion at 9.7 and a first Team All - Conference pitcher, I didn't know Lacrosse existed or I might have wanted to play that instead of football. But I had a great time, was a walk on at SU. Had offers from other schools but SU was the only school that had the major I wanted, Industrial Design and SU was one of the best schools in the country for that. They gave me a scholie, but I had a guidance counselor who couldn't figure out my classes and play football too. Got to know Floyd well we were the fastest on the team. Had to go to summer school because I almost flunked out - was leaving a studio class at 2P.M. to get to practice. Thought summer school was going to be a drag but the ratio of girls to men was 10 - 1, had a really good time and got two A's. Tough to quit sports though. I digress. I hope we win the game tomorrow. Personally, I can't stand Notre Dame. I believe they think they are the best at everything, the cat's ass and all that, but know that not to be true. I was watching a football game, I think against us, and one of the announcers said "yes ND is Americas team". I disagreed with that and hoped his mike fell on his foot and broke it. The only time I watched a game live in which they played was at Yankee stadium against us and we beat their little buns. I love to see them lose. Back to Lacrosse. I guess the only way to learn more about the game is to look it up, which I did earlier in the season. It seems easy, shoot the ball into the net. Sometimes I don't know why there is a goalie, the ball goes too fast to see, like a puck in hockey. But there are some very good goalies so they're valuable. To sum up I think Gary Gait has this team finally under his wing. I hope so. I want SU to become the championship team they once were and win11 more NCAA's. Anyway thanks again for your explanations and points of view - really enjoy them. Again, thanks for your write ups I keep reading them in hopes I'll understand the game better. I need to sit down at a game with you and have you explain every nuance of it. About a season's worth -then I'll bet I'll get it. :) [/QUOTE]
