Syracuse is your Men's Lacrosse champion. That's great and all, but that doesn't pay for the team travel, maintaining the equipment and John Desko's Faberge Egg fetish, now does it? So how can we cover hard costs such as that?
Merchandising, Merchandising, Merchandising!
SU Athletics is on the case, ready to go with the official T-shirt and much more. I think. Click on the "National Champions" t-shirt link and it takes you to a page where you can buy from 35 different shirts...none of which are actually the "National Champions" t-shirt. So...um...okay...
But why are we bullshittin'? You're not here for a Hanes Beefy-T, you're here for the good stuff. The commemorative DVD. And all your favorite moments from the 2008 season are here!

One would have to assume that the image currently being used as the DVD cover is a placeholder and not the actual DVD cover that you will see in 4-6 weeks.
Then again, even if that's what they end up with it's still a marked improvement over the original design:
No matter the cover, it's a collector's item any Syracuse lacrosse fan will want to own. But what if lacrosse isn't your bag? What if you're more of a roundball aficionado? Is there a way for you to appreciate the season gone past in commemorative DVD form? Why yes, glad you asked...
