Syracuse Football National Championship

If you're going to group revenue sports and non revenue sports in a stat like that, why not throw in lax and make us look even better?

What happens when lacrosse is added to the equation?
I imagine the point of grouping football, hoops and soccer is that every D1 school plays them.

I love lacrosse, but like 20% of D1 actually plays that sport. It's pretty damn niche.
 
Gross made the hires who've won our last 2 (3?) national championships. And countless ACC/Big East championships, I would guess.
IMO the best thing Gross did was take Olympic sports seriously. Jake C. was a tremendous AD, but it was clear he didn't care much about anything besides football, men's hoops and men's lacrosse.

Yup. His interest in Olympic sports began and ended at ripping heaters with Andy Roberts under the Manley bleachers during track practice.
 
I think that is a good site I knew we'd win when I remembered that was where my team West Ham played a friendly in 2016. Only played Seattle Sounders and the minor league team that plays there that summer.
 
I. Just. Can’t . Watch. Soccer.

I did tune in to watch the penalty kicks though. And I can’t stand that PK’s end games. Too much importance on just 2 players. Same as penalty shots in hockey. PLAY UNTIL SOMEONE SCORES!! College football has the best OT.

But, they could still be playing if I had my way.
At least in hockey I always feel like the goalie has at least a 50/50 shot at stopping the penalty shot. This was just guess where the guy might kick it - dive that way and hope for the best. I'm amazed they stopped any.
 
I prayed and prayed years ago for an SU Football National Championship. Told the big guy he could take me once it happened, I didnt care.

I'm not feeling too great and now I realize I should have been more specific. I thought God was American.

A lot of variety in terms of teams playing. I count 18 different teams represented there. A far cry from D1 Football.
 
Herd Soccer
Ha! Didn’t see your response. That’s what I’ve called it for years. Still… the beauty of soccer is: ask any 6 year old after a game and they all think they played well. As long as they’re running and chasing the ball, they think they contributed.

I’ve coached from U6 to HS varsity during 25 year coaching span. The herd gradually spreads out at each level. The u6 level are a delight to just watch .

We may be the only school that's won all four.
