Watching Cornell-Rutgers from Wiseguys, the mega sports bar a block downhill from the Lake Placid hockey complex. Sort of wishing I was there ... until this loooong delay. We feared Wiseguys would be packed with Memorial Day weekend, threatening weather, NHL on TV also NCAA softball and lax. Nope, when we talked in, we were the only customers.

Al DeFlorioAt one of the first round NCAA hockey tournaments in Worcester or Springfield, I sat high in the stands over one of the corners of the rink. Behind me was one of the great Meagher brothers from BU, scouting for an NHL team. He said it was the best place from which to see the game. Enjoyed some useful commentary on the game, too. Musta been Worcester. Not sure there's any place in Spby billhoward - Other Sports

George64 KenP Any thoughts on Rutgers as a team and how we pair up to them? The Rutgers goalie is CJ Kirst’s brother, so CJ should know his weaknesses, if any. . In case, like, the refs don't call Wedgies as a one-minute personal foul.by billhoward - Other Sports

Who's going to the NCAA lacrosse finals weekend? We are in Lake Placid for the Memorial Day weekend. Plans are to watch the Saturday at WiseGuys, the sports 100 yards downhill from LP Miracle on Ice Rink. If Cornell advances, I'm going +3 (3-1/2 hour drive). From about age 40 onward, it's become clearer and clearer: If Cornell makes the finals, go! You might not live long enough to see the neby billhoward - Other Sports

Rentschler background info says "grass field." Info lacking on which side of the field or which sections are Cornell for Saturday. Also which is the parking area for the Cornell-sponsored (BYO food) tailgate. Rentschler buy-tickets landing page suggests majority of sections have limited or no availability. Hard to believe it's close to sellout. In the years of 40K+ attendance inby billhoward - Other Sports

Re: 2022 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament Thread of DESTINY - 4 months ago
nshapiro I don't know about getting 'helped' so much by Delaware. Georgetown deservedly was highly rated because they had only one loss, but they went 1-1 vs Princeton and Penn, just like Cornell, and Richmond was the only other tournament team they played. They did not blow any games against bubble teams (like Cornell did vs Army), but I think both Georgetown and Rutgers may well be overrated.by billhoward - Other Sports

upprdeck this also shows Del was looked at pretty highly to start the year. Syracuse, Army and Lehigh all rated above us (pre-season) underperformed Cornell; look how low (lower than Cornell) Princeton was rated and Ohio State was in the also-mentioned category. I think Virginia was #1 only in the pre-season, then #2 Maryland took over. In Cornell's favor, an 80-1 took the Kentucky Derby.by billhoward - Other Sports

eLynah castigates members for, say, publicly wishing in the third period that Andy Iles completes the shutout. So Thread of DESTINY is an affront to the woofing gods and to the all-caps police. But, heck, it's just sports. And yet, here we are, one game removed from the final four, either that or the seniors knowing a week in advance they will attend graduation in person.

Swampy billhoward An indoor stadium for game play needs to have a tall roof. The Dallas Cowboys stadium center screen hangs 90 feet above the field. I don't know what height is required to not affect 90% or 95% of long soccer kicks or long lacrosse clearing passes. In football, it's a do-ever in Dallas.

CU77 Re video, as I understand it the NCAA retains rights to all video of championship games, it's not available for schools to clip and post highlights.
