Okay, I’ll admit it. I am absolutely one of those sports fans who thinks his favorite team is screwed whenever their next opponent loses their last game before playing them. In my mind, it’s inconceivable that any team could possibly lose two games in a row, so I’m always upset when I see their next opponent is coming off a loss.
That reaction happened for me again last weekend, when I watched the shocking result that the Syracuse Orange men's lacrosse team’s next opponent, the Maryland Terrapins, lost to the Loyola Greyhounds, 12-7.
