I give orangeworld a lot of credit for covering their storied program with the attention that it deserves which is not the case from the sun/hopkinssports.com.
Here you go again. Cue the Benny Hill theme song whenever you post. Cuse has a top-tier communications school along with hundreds (thousands?) of aspiring journalists and PR people on campus. They have three times as many undergrads as Hopkins does. Expecting our student coverage of the program to be the same is like asking Cuse's medical school to outperform Hopkins in brain surgery success rate. Syracuse doesn't have a medical school. Different universities, different strengths.
Also, you can't possibly be blaming the school for the Baltimore Sun's relative lack of coverage of lacrosse, can you? ~Nobody covers lacrosse consistently anymore~. I repeat, nobody. There is one lacrosse-only publication on the internet with full-time employees and they covered the game. What else do you want? Traditional newspaper journalism is a dying institution. No one is paying for lax coverage. There isn't a market for it. Cuse is an outlier because of their aforementioned media/comms emphasis and because, well, what else is there to talk about in western NY?
All of that being said, I noticed you ignored Mike Preston's article on the game in the Sun.

PM's post game comments he mentions he's happy w/being outshot b/c it means the offense was efficient, what he doesn't note is that it's because the turnovers, clearing, faceoffs were so bad.
That is NOT what he said. Jesus. He said he'd rather be efficient on offense than take a million shots and be inefficient. Which, yes, that's generally correct. And it's what won the game in spite of the clearing/turnovers. That was his entire point.

I agree with you on this. That was a criminal production decision. If you follow Cornell Willis on Instagram, he filmed some of it. About what you'd expect. Guys Petro recruited/coached got a hug (DeSo's looked like the longest) while Milliman's guys mostly got handshakes

I have no problem and even welcome penalties like that if it's part of the mentality of a guy who sets up angelus to get that key go ahead goal, beat a galloping lsm back in transition late helping to kill a cuse possession, and finishes the game w/the 10th goal not to mention everything else he does.
Wow, two decent points from you back to back. What's going on? I didn't like the penalty but agree with the general sentiment about Epstein giving it his all yesterday.

With all due respect to Anish, I can do without the concern trolling about our program from Syracuse homers.
A lot of recent Petro guys were at the game yesterday in Hopkins blue — Shack Stanwick, Cole Williams, Kyle Marr, Nick Fields, Danny Jones, etc. I liked seeing that.
