Get to know…Miles Fisher

Today Max McCool offers up a simple dye job that involves a two-color fade and polka dots.
Professor of History at Marist, Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie, is a scholar and educator. Many of his students probably wouldn't know he was a big time player in his day at Syracuse or that he is a published author of a history book about food with some recipes. Dr. Opie recently launched a blog for just that; to share what he is passionate about. In his latest post Dr. Opie reminisces about how he and his teammates would dye heads over wings at the local restaurant, Acropolis. His memory is uncanny and the topics could not be more relevant in this given day.
"Organized white lacrosse head dying sessions, using Rit fabric dye, and downing dozens of hot Buffalo style chicken wings in the process represented an important part of SU lacrosse culture in the 1980s. There was definitely an unspoken competition over both who could eat the most wings and who could come up with the most aesthetic multi-colored design with your name, number, and Syracuse somehow all fit on a small surface."
Sophomore defenseman from Princeton, Jonathan Meyers, has been dishing checks since youth league. Few know that he is equally if not more impressive mixing beats. He has become a cult icon in some circles. Today, Jonathan provided us with an exclusive song mashing Biggie Smalls with Passion Pit (Brown Alums). Enjoy after the jump...

The first pro lacrosse games that have taken place outside of North America were anything but boring. The West put up a good fight but the East prevailed in both matchups, 24-16 in the first and 20-19 in the second game. >> View Highlights
