Worst SU sports week in history?

by suharrier on Nov 4, 2009 3:10 PM EST

I definitely haven't thought hard enough about other weeks in SU history, but this has to rank up there as historically bad. Football loss, Mike Williams leaves team, Car Accident and Suspensions, Basketball exhibition loss to Le Moyne... And it's only Wednesday! Can we send a bunch of four-leaf clovers, rabbits feet, genie lamps to Doctor Gross so this week doesn't get any worse?

Any other really bad weeks come to mind? Two bad events have to happen to qualify, or one really crappy event, like a loss to Vermont.

I'm trying to remember

a couple years ago if the lacrosse team and basketball team both lost big games in the same week…but I can’t think of anything in particular

Was Doc Gross’s hiring and the loss to GT the same week? In hind sight that may be more damaging.

Quite possibly. If it wasn't the same week it was damn close.

Wait wasn't this past spring..

Well it’s not 7 days, but over 8 days basketball got killed by Oklahoma in the sweet 16 then the next weekend the lacrosse team lost to Princeton at Giants Stadium. Not really anywhere near this week but it still sucked, especially being the only one in my town rooting for the Orange in the Big City Classic
