Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
CU77 Congrats to PM on a well-deserved appointment. I agree, very happy to see this. Item #1 of the off-season to-do list can be crossed off. #1 Sign coach Milliman. #2 Figure out how to combat SOT. ("Shut off Teat" ) I fear that #2 will prove significantly harder than #1.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
Trotsky Tom LentoIs this one of those things where there are a handful of players good enough to shut Teat down like this? Sounds like it makes the sport needlessly boring, like allowing a basketball defender to wrap his arms around the legs of LeBron and neutralize him for the entire game. What was Mellen actually doing, though? From what I saw, he was just following Teat around, forcing Teby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
CU77 Did you actually watch the Syracuse game? Is that what you saw happening? I'm jumping in here because I want to understand this better. What I saw was Teat unable to participate (except for restarts) because Mellen followed him with every step. What can Teat do to escape this? I saw a video on v-cuts yesterday that looked promising, but also difficult to pull off as you need your teammatby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
ugarte Idle thought: please sign Millman to a deal before we have to get in an offseason bidding war. Andy Noel works in mysterious ways. It will probably be something like a handshake after Cornell's last game and AN saying, "Great job, Pete, we'd like you to put in an application for the permanent job." And then Milliman is so insulted that he takes a job at Duke as an assistant cby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
BearLover OK, and why didn't other teams replicate Harvard's strategy? Is there something different about Pannell that made faceguarding him harder? Pannell being stronger? I've been wondering the same thing. I remember someone commenting during the 2013 semifinal that Duke was "faceguarding Mock." I hated that game. And watching the faceguard against Teat two nights ago...ugh. Isby djk26 - Other Sports

Is there any chance Cornell will have Paul Rasimowicz back for Sunday's game, or is he out for the year?by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
Very happy that Cornell won. Tough task next week, good luck to the team. As long as I have to suffer through watching the shut off, I should understand it better. Did Peterson do so well partially because there were fewer Syracuse players to defend him, since one of them was following Teat wherever he went?by djk26 - Other Sports

I really want Cornell to win, but I am REALLY happy they won't lose to Syracuse 10-9.by djk26 - Other Sports

Thanks, Al. This shutoff stuff is terrible to watch. Poor Jeff Teat looks so lonely. Thank God for Clarke Peterson. LGR!by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
I like lacrosse, but I don't understand it. Before Cornell's 7th goal that tied the game, two Cornell players smashed into the Syracuse player (who was by himself and holding the ball.) The ball came out and Cornell picked it up. How is that legal?by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
Thanks for the info on the attendance at the games, everyone. I'm sorry I wasn't able to go, sounds like it was a fun time. As much as I would love to see Cornell play in front of huge crowds (might help with recruiting), it's just a fact that lacrosse isn't really in the popular imagination of Joe Average Fan. Still, I love watching it, and there are many other that do, too. As mentioned uby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
Were any ELFers at the league tournament games? I read that the final had ~2600 fans. That must have been below what the league wanted by having the games in New York. How was the atmosphere? Was this experiment less than successful?by djk26 - Other Sports

Swampy Lars Tiffany, former head lacrosse coach at Brown Brown State. It’s a nickname for the Brown University men’s lacrosse team that traces its roots back to the late 1960s and 1970s. “It’s sort of evolved into the mindset and the attitude we play with,” said Lars Tiffany, the current head coach at Brown, and a 1990 graduate of the Ivy League school. “Blue-collar, edgy, tough.

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)by djk26 - Other Sports

Re: Bracketology Starts - 6 years ago
I think we would find reason to complain if Cornell's regional were Brown, RIT and Alaska Anchorage. And the games were played at Lynah Rink. "That's not fair...the other regions get better preparation for the Frozen Four." It's the NCAA tournament. There are no easy games. We lost in the semifinals of our conference tournament, we have a loss to RPI (#58 in the Pairwise) on ourby djk26 - Hockey

French Rage Other than our game, that has to be a nightmare for the folks in Lake Placid. I've wondered about this (and I'm sure it's been discussed on eLynah). The ideal Lake Placid attendance line up is Cornell, St. Lawrence, Clarkson, and...? With St. Lawrence eliminated, it can't happen this year.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
I like lacrosse, I just don't understand it. How does Cornell go from losing all 24 faceoffs (or winning only 1...sources differ) in one game to winning 12/24 in the next game? I know that Albany is a lot better than Binghamton, but that's just so dramatic. And how does Cornell stay competitive in a game where they lose every faceoff?by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2017 - 6 years ago
Congratulations to Coach Archer and the entire Cornell team. Anyone with any interest in Cornell sports would have enjoyed the post game show on NBC Sports--what excitement and joy these kids demonstrated, especially when not much was expected of them this season. I couldn't help but be reminded, during the interview with the coach, of the old "Chris Farley Show" on Saturday Night Lby djk26 - Other Sports
