Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - C 6 @ Lehigh 3 2nd - 6 years ago
Jeff Teat is so creative and effective. Bullen doing a great job in goal. Faceoffs not great but not terrible. Man-up offense looks flat-footed.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
dbilmes According to this article in the Syracuse paper, Syracuse lost the game because they were expecting Christian Knight to play goal for Cornell, and had trouble adapting to Bullen being in goal instead, because Bullen is left-handed while Knight is right-handed. This makes me wonder whether Syracuse's coaching staff had been paying attention to Cornell's recent results, since Bullen replaceby mike1960 - Other Sports

Do I hear (radio broadcast) a band or recording of the Star Spangled Banner? I used to enjoy the lone violin playing it. Mikeby mike1960 - Other Sports

Among his many skills, Jeff Teat has terrific field vision. It seems every time he is able to spot the open man and hit the cross with a perfect pass. He could help this team go a long long way.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Jeff Hopkins '82 15-11 good guys. Final. Great result! Have to cut down on those penalties and tighten up the man-down defense. Tuesday is going to be exciting!by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
Swampy Jeff Hopkins '82 djk26 Quint said it was "step down city" against Dartmouth. What are "step downs" in lacrosse? It has something to do with "sliding"? (another term I do not fully understand) From what I can tell it means taking a step (or 2) towards the target as you shoot the ball. It means you have plenty of time to get set up, and face the target, asby mike1960 - Other Sports

upprdeck Syracuse is hard to read.. Watched them play some tough teams well and then also got blown out multiple times. Yes, but I think we can expect their best effort on Tuesday.by mike1960 - Other Sports

billhoward @ #1 Albany 14, Harvard 6 @ #4 Yale 12, #20 Penn 6 #14 Cornell 22, @ Dartmouth 11 @ Brown 14, Princeton 13 (winning goal with :14 to play) The pre-season media poll was Yale, Princeton, Penn, Brown, Cornell, Harvard, Dartmouth. Princeton is now 0-3 (to Yale, Penn, Brown) in league play. It's starting to look good for Cornell to slot in as the 2-3 team going into the Ivy playby mike1960 - Other Sports

scoop85 mike1960 What's the story on Kason Tarbell? I haven't heard his name called in a game in quite a while. Thanks. He’s injured, but my understanding is that he’ll be back this season Thanks, Scoop!by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
The team sent an Instagram pic of them practicing at daybreak on Schoellkopf when it was 9 degrees. That's dedication and it is paying off big time.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
Because of the hockey game, I can't get an online radio stream of the game. It sounds like a great win for Cornell. Coach Milliman has really done a great job this far. Question: I see from the stats that Caelahn Bullen played goalie in the second half and Penn scored far fewer than the first half. Was it because he was that much better than Knight today, or did the defense pick it up? Or both? Tby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
Al DeFlorio Cornell's zone D is giving up easy goals. Are you at the game? I'm listening to Barry Leonard on the radio. It sounds like Cornell has had a lot of opportunities to get control of this one.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Looks like the team is loose, having fun, ready to play. Let's get a win tomorrow!by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
TimV Not the same. Although he plays a tough schedule, he's in a much less competitive conference. He's a proven recruiter without a lot of admission constraints and a Hall-of-Fame caliber coach for sure. When you win the national title, you've essentially beaten every conference in the entire nation.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
TimV Correct. Even with those 12.5 scholarships, new facilities, and all that "We Are.." BS it's gonna be a long time, if ever, that he rivals JHU and UM. And he had to know it. That's another reason why I think it was the money. Underscores what an amazing job Bill Tierney has done out in Denver.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
This team had a slow start but seems to be getting stronger every week. We might have some things to say about the Ivy League title this year. A couple of questions for the group. 1) We were up by 2 against Albany with about 3 minutes to play with the ball and a win in clear sight. After a break, the radio announcer on WHCU (don't know his name) said that Cornell committed an offensive penby mike1960 - Other Sports
