arugula Bracketology on IL has us as number 8-playing Penn State (no!), if we win playing Notre Dame. Oh boy… Bring 'em on. Bring 'em ALL on!by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - days/times <you had one job> - 2 days ago
billhoward This schedule 10 days in advance of the Ivy League Lacrosse Tournament has the 2-3 seeds playing the early game at 6 pm, the 1-4 seeds playing at 8:30 pm, then the title game at 1 pm. When it was neutral-site last year, I believe the 1-seed got the early game. Ignore that the graphic has all 3 games Sunday May 5. It should be semifinals Friday, day off Saturday, title game Sunday.

BearLover billhoward upprdeck whats a 4 way tie look like? It looks unlikely in the extreme. As a practical matter, Cornell ain't gonna lose to 0-5 Dartmouth. C’mon, man. Big Green feels a little bit like a "trap" game. I hope we don't see another really slow start.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Good D the second quarter. Zero goals for Harvard, but Harvard did make mistakes that cost them goals.by mike1960 - Other Sports

rss77 Just want to pay respects to Coach Buczek on playing 2 offensive midfields and giving fairly equal time. The one problem I had with Coach Tambroni was the way he would double shift his first midfield. That definitely pays off down the stretch.by mike1960 - Other Sports

CU77 mike1960 For an ND broadcasting team, I thought they weren't too homerish I thought Booker and George (brothers, cousins of ND coach Kevin) did a great job, far superior to the Quint/Carc clown car. Booker does play-by-play for ESPN (when the clowns are elsewhere) and CBS, and IMO is always very good. Booker's company Corrigan Sports produced the event, which seems to have been a huge succesby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's lax: CU-Notre Dame Sunday 4/14/24 - 11 days ago
billhoward If we can stay with Notre Dame for 58 minutes, Harvard (senior day at Cornell) and Dartmouth should be no problem, um, right? And we'll deserve home ice in the NCAA first round, right? Those who attended the game did not hear, for better or worse, the pitter-patter of the announcers, such as, "Not only is this a barn-burner, but three rows of the corn came down" and sometby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's lax: CU-Notre Dame Sunday 4/14/24 - 11 days ago
RichH rss77 Goldstein had a bit of a rough game with a couple of turnovers-we forget this is only his 5th or 6th game. Also Notre Dame seemed to be winning groundballs late in game-but Cornell proved they belong up there with the best. Give him credit for that sharp-angle goal coming from behind the cage to tie the game at 13(?). That was amazing. Yep. He's a freshman. He's playing well overby mike1960 - Other Sports

11-7 ND at the half. If we can tighten up on defense, we can win this game.by mike1960 - Other Sports

The last man advantage Mikey Long had an open shot and didn't take it. I think we're working too hard for the perfect shot.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Men's lax: CU-Notre Dame Sunday 4/14/24 - 17 days ago
I didn't watch a lot of the ND-Duke program, but ND is super fast. I think one of their middies is a wide receiver on the football team. We're going to need to be really good on our slides, shows, and recoveries. On the other hand, I think we can score on these guys. I hope CJ and Long get going early.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Happy to see Notre Dame beat Duke today 14-12. Wouldn't want to get them after a tough loss.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax: Brown at CU 4/6/24 - 19 days ago
RichH Robb I was only able to start watching at the face off right after Cornell tied it at 7. Seemed like all smooth sailing to me! Same. Pretty complete 2nd half. Looked good on faceoffs, middies did fine. D seemed good, but Brown had very little possession time. In no way is this a world-beating juggernaut especially with all the injuries, but they can be dangerous in the tournament,by mike1960 - Other Sports
