As the thrilling 2024 season rolls into mid-March, there’s no Spring Break for us. We can sleep in June. D-Fly and Dixie look back at the terrific action last week and discuss another new No. 1-ranked team as Army West Point rises to the top spot. They also preview the weekend ahead which features six incredible Top 20 matchups for fans to binge watch.
This week’s conversation is with do-it-all Syracuse midfielder Sam English as he and the Orange get set to play the Delaware Blue Hens in a Top 20 showdown on Saturday. They’ll talk about Cuse’s “We’re Back” statement win over Johns Hopkins, the decisions facing a prized player in the portal, what it’s like to be a grad student “rookie” on campus, competing against multiple brothers on Top 20 teams, the fun of playing in neutral site events, watching his dad play professional football and so much more.
