Lacrosse continues to shine

Daryl Gross is once again counting his lucky stars that Basketball season is over and that the Men's and Women's lacrosse teams have returned to top form. Their combined efforts allowed Syracuse Athletics to have a solid week.

• Men's Lacrosse: 1-0 (1.00)


• Women's Lacrosse: 2-0 (1.00)


• Tennis: 1-1 (.500)


• Softball: 2-2 (.500)


• Total: 6-3(.666)

Some Breathing Room

It has been a fantastic week for Syracuse sports fans assuming that you aren't a fan of the Men's Basketball Program which ended the season on a low note with a loss to UMass in the Dome on Tuesday, or are a of DOCTOR Daryl Gross who saw his Orangemen and Orangewomen go a combined 8-2 on the week.

• Men's Lacrosse: 1-0 (1.00)


• Women's Lacrosse: 1-0 (1.00)


• Tennis: 3-0 (1.00)


• Softball: 3-1 (.750)


• Men's Basketball: 0-1 (.000)


• Total: 8-2(.800)

Continuing Mediocrity

I added the records for several other Syracuse programs to the collective "Record Under Gross". Most of our sports struggle with mediocrity under this new administration. I also ranked them in the order of highest winning percentage to lowest. As you can see by the list, without Men's Basketball, Women's Lacrosse and Women's Tennis, we would be sitting at a record of 271-297 (.477).

Many people have mentioned that this isn't just about football and I certainly agree. The problem is that outside of a few select programs, Syracuse Athletics stink. And when the Athletics Department as a whole fails to produce, we have to look at the man who is responsible for the administrative decisions regarding the coaches of all the struggling units. And of course that man is Daryl Gross.
