Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 2901718, member: 43"] Ive been a Desko guy and supported him the last handful of years when our post season success was less then optimal but were at the breaking point. This team/program is a shell of itself we just got run by a rebuilding Colgate team and I fully expect John to tip his cap in the post game. I have never seen a Syracuse offense look so lost and Ryan Powell on commentary just made it worse guy was a great player but hes death on TV. The current attack unit is no hyperbole the worst I have ever seen at Syracuse and its not even close. I don't know if teams just ignored Voigt in the pre-season but he had as much impact on the game as I did. Solomon was a non factor in the 6 on 6 and Rehfuss looks like he should be playing for Siena, just no ability to dodge at all against Colgate, smh. Dordevic being out is a killer but but Trimboli was non existent, who in the world thought he was a pre-season AA, again another non factor. Cook was a nice change of pace but after running him at attack early in the third with some success we bumped him to middie and he struggled mightily. Quinn cost us at least 3 if not 4 possession when he shot early in the shot clock with no angle right into the goalies cross. Why wasn't he pulled? There's 30 midfielders on the roster get someone else on the field, where was Buttermore? It was embarrasing to watch that offense outside of Curry. Spacing was abysmal and everything save for a 5 minute stretch in the third was one on one, it looked like the team had just showed up for the first spring practice, what the hell have we been doing for the last month+. 14 or 15 turnovers yet again continuing the trend from last year. Give Mellen and Fusco credit both did Yeomans work but once again the same issues form the last 4-5 years were again present, bad slides, abysmal inability to scoop a gb (I wanted to punch my tv), dumb passes, 2 or 3 offsides, SSDM getting dusted, etc etc etc. So frustrating to make the same mistakes as last year, we seemed to pick right where we left off against Cornell in the tourney. Faceoffs were again an adventure as the wing play was atrocious both Kennedy and Dearth couldn't scoop a GB for thier lives. How many times did they over run or push the ball forward or push it up in the air. Did they get 1 gb between them the entire game from a faceoff? Horrible. We also kept running Voigt out there despite Phaup clearly playing better and getting zero help on the wings. Where was Fernandez? Honestly I don't have the answers but this program has officially bottomed out. We didn't lose a tough game to Army or Virginia we just got dusted by Colgate. Colgate looked better then us in nearly every fashion including offense that is unfathomable and totally unacceptable. TO make matters worse this schedule is way over this team head, How are we going to score on army or slow down Rutgers whose offense is 20X better then Colgates. I was and still am a huge Desko fan but were reaching Post Tierney Princeton territory here, the school is going to have to make a move before this somehow gets worse. Just sick over this. [/QUOTE]
