(like ganderson i also in all practicality have nothing to do) Better yet, an NCAA lacrosse video game! Then you might even believe it exists...

Re: OT: 2005 lacrosse preview - 19 years ago
Hillel Hoffmann Wrote: Nice riffs on SU lacrosse's sacred 22, John and Ben. One link in the 22 chain was left out. In between Gary Gait and Casey Powell was Charlie "Laser" Lockwood, a four-time All America with a nasty shot who scored nearly 100 goals in his career. On an SU scale, 100 goals is piffling, but he was an iconic player who played a big part in creating the 22 mytholby jeh25 - Hockey

CowbellGuy Wrote: Yale either has some prolific arrangers or a good line on sheet music. They may not be that great, but it's always amusing to hear what they've got in their repertoire. At least I think they're down to one Britney song per game. They seem to be well-supported by the school and faculty, which would be nice to see at Cornell for a change.

KeithK Wrote: Those with an interest in this game should know that for the first time in over two decades, the fabled #22 will not be worn this season (the first time since 1982). For those of us that do not follow the sport closely enough to know (e.g. me), can you explain the significance of #22 to Syracuse? Wearing #22 at Syracuse for Lacrosse is like wearing #44 for SU Football. #4by jeh25 - Hockey

LarryW Wrote: I've always wondered about that, too, but more wrt the UNH game in the tourney. I thought Underhill was less than spectacular in that game and that the GWG was a savable shot. He was screened, yes, but who knows. Well, we'll never know whether or not Matt was still bothered by the back injury he had sustained 3 weeks earlier during warmups at RPI.
