How many goals did the Thompson's score?
Hey, at least the SU women have a very good shot at the Final Four and a National Championship...How many goals did the Thompson's score?

I have to think The Thompson Brothers® are pretty disappointed in their 4-4 record which included losses to Drexel, Bryant, and Canisius.Boy...is Albany stepping up lacrosse wise or what? I'm sure their kids are pumped to play SU but still, they are doing pretty well.

Agreed as is the whole team I'm sure. Shows me something regarding focus and effort though...can't just bring it for the one big game.
It'd be a dang shame if one of them did not win the Tewaarton. Worse yet, if they did not win it because their team is so average. The Tewaarton always seem to go to the best player on one of the top 5 teams in the country.
Negative? I was being positive. I saw the women play last weekend and they are flat out great to watch.And the men don't? Lots of lacrosse to be played. Best offensive depth in the game. Why don't we wait till the rest of year is played before, but given your record of relentless negativity, why bother I guess.
They might not be able to overcome the face off issues, but they made the title game last year, so maybe they can.

As to the men's chances: If they don't permanently fix the FO problem (last weekend's success, according to the pundits, had more to do with a fortunate match up than a permanent fix) do you really think they are making the Final Four?
Agree completely - 45 - 50% and they're a lock. I'm just skeptical that they can get there against top-level FO guys.They get it to 45-50% against top teams, sure. Their offensive efficiency is great and the defense is getting better.
I'd put it at 40%. Once it gets below 33% it's a near-impossible task.Agree completely - 45 - 50% and they're a lock. I'm just skeptical that they can get there against top-level FO guys.
Why?
Because I want to Grimshaw Elementary. I grew up literally a stone's throw from the reservation. My nephew played lacrosse with them. Native Americans invented this great sport. It's about time a Native American won it. They are great offensive talents, maybe the best since Mikey Powell.
If he keeps up this pace and sets some records he should be a favorite, but they need to win some games, this Friday would be a start. Stat's aren't everything.
Agree. Again, it would be a shame, but I would completely understand if they went .500 and one of them did not win it.
The other stuff is a nice story, but not a reason to give them an award.
The thing is, say they wore powder blue and played at Homewood. Would there be any question? Great Danes aren't Blue Jays, Orange, Cavs, and so on. If they were playing for an elite program they would be right in the discussion despite a mediocre supporting cast.
Edit: I apologize for the thread hijacking. To the original point, it was a good win for the women.
