Syracuse just lost an exhibition game to D-2 Le Moyne.

Even though it doesn't count or anything, it really cannot bode well for the regular season.

Pretty wild stuff. Division II. Yikes. Maybe it will ignite Syracuse though. Who knows.

This isn't too uncommon, is it? If I'm remembering right, MSU did this one of the years they made the Final Four.

Either last year or the year before they lost to Grand Valley State. I thought that was pretty cool, but it's not unheard of because the D-2 schools are working their tails off to look good and a team like MSU or Syracuse just goes out to get some practice and see what groups of players work. It's not a big deal.

Findlay beat OSU either last year or a few years back...
And I was on the campus of GVSU the night they took down Michigan State! It was amazing!
If only these things counted for real.

That was a proud day for my GVSU-dom.

It was Drew Nietzel's senior year when they lost to Grand Valley.

State lost to grand valley a few years ago right? Seems to happen more often than you would think.
Maybe football should have exhibitions against I-AA because the Delaware State game should NOT count toward bowl eligibility. Maybe make that App. State game an exhibition as well...

Yeah, these exhibition games are a joke. The coaches are allowed on the floor for hands on instruction. Hilarious, but not a big deal.

coached Le Moyne from 1983-1992.
Even his 17-year-old echoes are enough to beat Boeheim.

LeMoyne is like 3 miles from the Carrier Dome... it'd be like Concordia coming to Crisler and beating us. (obvious division difference aside). Plus LeMoyne's mascot is the Dolphins.
BOEHEIM. BOOM! DOLPHIN PUNCHED! ROSENBERG'S NEXT...
