Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 1 year ago
Looking WAY ahead ... If the Ivy Fantastic Four (C,Y,Pr,Pe) wins every remaining game against the Sidekicks (H,B,D), as Massey predicts, then it all comes down to Cornell @ Princeton. If the Big Red takes that (after, in this scenario, beating Harvard and Brown), then Cornell and Yale are tied at the top of the Ivy standings at 5-1, and Cornell holds the tiebreaker! The Ivy seedings are C,by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
arugula I ask again, why are we consistently terrible at the x. Bad luck. Petrakis was very good at the start of the season, in the top 10 in opponent-adjusted ranking by lacrossereference.com. Then the PSU game happened with a quick whistle on FO violations, and he hasn't been the same since. Petrakis was a top FOGO in HS on LI. Senior Tim Graham, who was FOGO for the Australian national team anby CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
billhoward CU2007 I don’t follow lacrosse especially closely but see we are 6-0. What type of record would we need to get an at large to the NCAA should we fall short in the Ivy Tourney? If Cornell does not win the Ivy League tournament, it has to be one of the seven best teams not selected. The D1 tournament has 16 spots. Nine teams are in leagues with automatic qualifiers. That leaves 64 otherby CU77 - Other Sports

Why do "casual fans" want to turn every sport into basketball? If you like basketball, there's no shortage, go watch basketball! Me, I hate basketball and always have. Most boring sport on the planet.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - where's CU social media? - 2 years ago
Weder Cornell tweets in-game updates for all sports from one account. Never heard of it. It's never been re-tweeted by the lax team account AFAIK. And it had exactly one in-game update today, with nothing more than a score; no video clips (which is what tweets are good for, scores we get from Live Stats). As Donald Trump would say: Sad!by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - where's CU social media? - 2 years ago
billhoward CU77's link to the Inside Lacrosse game story shows two Yale Men's Lacrosse tweets the and one from USA Lacrosse Mag, none from Cornell. If you search "Twitter cornell men's lacrosse" via Google, the first result is freaking Cornell College. That should not be. Twitter, Instagram and TikTok seem dumb to many but it's how a lot of people get their news and how HS/prep athlby CU77 - Other Sports

George64 CU77 billhoward The ultimate rule change may yet be: Other team gets the ball after a goal. It has been proposed, not sure how seriously. It was tried one year in the late 70s. I hope never to see it again. Why? Because it's boring, and because the face-off is one of lax's distintive features. We don't need to make every game a basketball clone.by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
Our top FOGO, Petrakis, had been doing well, but was called for multiple violations in the PSU game. No video, so we didn't see what happened, but the sheer number of called violations was strongly indicative of a ref who was calling incidental movement as a violation, which should not be happening. (Inconsistency of ref calls on FO is a generally recognized issue in the sport.) This may have spoby CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 3 years ago
Absolutely! Incidentally, according to the Simulated Season run by lacrossereference.com, Cornell is the #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Big Red finished 12-2, with one-goal regular-season losses to Yale and Princeton, but then won the ILT from the #4 seed, beating #1 Penn 14-8 in the semis and #2 Yale in the final, 17-11.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 3 years ago
From the fanlax.com forum: faircornellThere was just now a rousing and inspiring Town Hall meeting on Zoom. There was a strong statement from the AD that everything within reason was done to keep Coach Milliman. There were really great presentations from Coach Buczek and Coach Stevens, as well as game film of successful plays. Included was a great analysis of Jeff Teat's tying goal versus PU.by CU77 - Other Sports

Here we go: Cornell will conduct a national search following their hiring freeze but according to a source, Buczek WILL be a candidate for the full time gig during the search. The coaching search won’t begin until 2021 @SPECNewsCNY— JOHN JOHNSON II (@TheRealJKJ) April 27, 2020by CU77 - Other Sports
