I transferred to Syracuse University as a junior in college in the fall of 1983. I arrived on campus hungry for God. At the beginning of spring 1984 semester I came to faith in Jesus Christ and became a regular at the Friday night Campus Bible Fellowship and a member of “the God squad,” as SU football players called us. Most of us at the fellowship were student athletes who wanted to study the bible, pray, and eat. For us the fellowship helped us move beyond religion to a practical application of trusting God’s word on daily basis in commune with other liked minded students. The student athletes among us ate most of our meals together in he same SU cafeteria. It was an amazing bonding experience with all you could eat food, a steady flow of hilarious stories, and laughter galore. And when we where in season as athletes, our parents would come to campus with cars packed with good food to share with friends and family in our Sky Top apartments. I credit the members of the God squad with feeding me culturally and spiritually during my SU years. In reflection, I patterned my black cool after them because I admired and respected them. Over my two years at SU I grew to hold their friendship in high regard. I don’t know what the coaches or my teammates made out of so much cultural and spiritual change happened during my time on campus. I stopped going to lacrosse teammates hosted parties and except for my lacrosse roommates, I did not see them much off the field.
