Re: Men's Lax Syracuse at Cornell 4/2/2024 - 6 weeks ago
Just grab him and hold him. Gently. Still, with only a few seconds to go, even a 3 minute penalty is inconsequential if it prevents the game tieing goal, right?by TimV - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 8 weeks ago
Yale is notorious in the Ivy League and out, especially at Maryland for being major trash talkers. I've sat behind their bench enough times to know it's true. I'd bet my last dollar that there was plenty of that directed at Ryan throughout the game. He was smart enoughto wait for the last few seconds.by TimV - Other Sports
Re: MLAX: @Denver 2/24 - 2 months ago
upprdeck and a couple goals called back as well. not sure how replay can ever work at cornell with cameras stationed around the commons it seems. I thought the Hobart game production was much better after they got the PBP man's Mike fixed. The half field view was substantially tighter than the Lehigh game, there were some nice field level shots, and PBP was better at identifying players.by TimV - Other Sports
Re: MLAX: @Denver 2/24 - 2 months ago
Defense was actually pretty good 6 on 6. The unreleasable penalties got us. And on the faceoffs we were pretty even when you subtract out all those with NO WINGS cuz we were 2 men down. ANNNND we were without out Cascadden, our best fogo, so we were going against one of the best in the country with our #2 and #3 guys. That was a very winnable game, even in spite of the FOGO situation.by TimV - Other Sports
Re: MLAX: @Denver 2/24 - 2 months ago
MattShaf Miserable loss for the Big Red. Up 4 goals twice and outscored 5-2 in the 4th quarter. Beaten regularly at the face off X (only 15-37) Too many unforced errors in second half and too many undisciplined penalties (DU 5-7 with the extra man). Let’s hope we don’t look back at this one at the end of season with regret. Hell, I regret it NOW.by TimV - Other Sports

Re: Cornell @ RPI, 2/9 - 3 months ago
VIEWfromK That was a neat arena... Players walking to the bench through the crowd is unique. Of course a win helps but would gladly go back there someday. I was talking to a rink staffer during pregame warmups.

Re: NIL - 3 months ago
It seems a key factor in this ruling was "compensation" the players (as employees) receive, even though previous rulings called them educational stipends. Those stipends weren't taxed. So do player's scholarships (academic as they are) now become taxable as remuneration/income?by TimV - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 7 months ago
I'm hoping the league is going to a rotating schedule order so we don't continue to play teams in the same sequence every year. For the last several years the Ivy sequence was Y-Pe-D-H-B-Pr. This year Pr goes to the front and D-H-B becomes B-H-D. This is a really difficult schedule outside the league AND in - we play the iron of the league up front in Pr-Y-P and the really tough stretch isby TimV - Other Sports

mike1960 upprdeck Su scored to go up 12-11 then scored again to go up 13-11. Except the ref made a call on a ball everyone thought was a goal and as SU was stunned, ND ran back and scored won like the next 8 faceoffs SU barely got the ball again and got rolled. After the game the reds claimed that a save was made and the ball was then carried into the goal by the goalie and thats allowed?? Nby TimV - Other Sports

Two great non-scoring plays got no comment because Quint and Anish were chatting.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2023 - 1 year ago
djk26 I was actually surprised to see the stats at the end of the game--50% on faceoffs and ahead only 34-32 on ground balls--seemed like Cornell was dominating both stats through three quarters. It seemed like that mostly because our gbs and fos came at more important times or plays in the game. On faceoffs often a win is awarded even though it's only momentary and doesn't result in a signifby TimV - Other Sports
