Re: Floyd Landis tour champion??? - 17 years ago
The NY Times reports that some of the testosterone found in Landis's urine sample had come from an external source, not produced from his own body. Results of the B sample will be disclosed in a few days, but chances are that the B sample will also come back positive. Like everyone who's following the story, my reaction to the doping news was: Say it ain't so, Floyd... For some reason Iby min - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Things to do while waiting for the season to start... - 17 years ago
These should be easy to fix. 1. The blue GAMES button at the top does not go to its corresponding page. 2. In the "All-American East First Teams" page, the school logos for Latreille (59, 60) and Fryberger (61, 62, 63) appear twice as big as the other logos (btw, what school is that?) I'd like to make one personal suggestion. Although a picture is worth a thousand words, some bby min - Hockey
Re: Arena's men take the pitch on Monday - 17 years ago
Sorry, but what was about the Argentine team play at this World Cup that you didn't like? Their display of soccer was pretty remarkable (see their game against Serbia), and on numerous occasions they played much better than the other soccer powerhouses. Argentina just ran into the host team, played to their equal for 120 minutes, but did not have the instinct or the confidence to win the game atby min - Other Sports
Re: Soccer Theatrics - 17 years ago
cth95 Maybe they could start giving yellow cards for exaggeration and delay of game. They already do. Players who dive repeatedly, especially inside the penalty area, are given yellow cards. Delay of game calls are usually given to goalkeepers, when they take their time in kicking off after the ball has gone out. However, these and other delays are normally compensated by the stoppage time tby min - Other Sports
Re: Arena's men take the pitch on Monday - 17 years ago
I'm not sure if you mean it or not, delta, but the presumption (held by even veteran soccer analysts) that a player must receive a yellow (or a verbal caution) before getting a red card is mistaken. A reckless tackle is a reckless tackle is a reckless tackle. I don't blame the ref for making that call. The truth is, Mastroeni didn't have to foul that Italian player. If I remember correctly, tby min - Other Sports
Re: Arena's men take the pitch on Monday - 17 years ago
Hmmm.... As someone who suffered a cleats-out tackle like that in a HS soccer game and had to sit out with cast for 4 months, I feel no sympathy for Mastroeni or his red card. However, it was great to see team USA putting up a tough fight against an overcondifent but often predictable Italy. Edit: Judge for yourselves. See the (IMO, reckless) Mastroeni tackle here:by min - Other Sports

Re: Recruits 2006 - the Offseason thread - 18 years ago
Does anyone know if Schafer try to recruit Fontas before (but lost to UML)? Also, I wonder if expectations (from both the coaches' and fans' perspectives) are different for transfers and freshmen players. I mean, having a 110% trust in Coach Schafer, I imagine that he must have seen something in Chris Fontas's play that he knew Fontas would/could/should help the team greatly and quickly.by min - Hockey

Colorado College has two Hobey Baker hopefuls, including last year's winner, Marty Sertich. But they also have 15 losses, and a first round exit at home during the WCHA playoffs. In the area of record against common opponents (e.g. Union, Minnestota Duluth, and Michigan State), CC's record is 5-1-0 while that of Cornell is 2-2-1. What are the keys to the game?

Mostly useless end-of-regular-season trivia (all data taken from TBRW and are from 1987 on): 1. Dartmouth becomes the fourth Ivy to win the ECAC RS title. 2. This season is the second time that the there is tie at the top of the standings (last time: 1988 Harvard and St. Lawrence at 36). 3. This season ties the 2004 season for the lowest points total needed to win the ECAC RS: 30. 4.by min - Hockey

And yet once we got it back to 3-3 it seemed as if we could have won. If you look at all the ECAC games this weekend, the home teams did amazingly well: nine wins, two ties, and no losses.
