Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - Yesterday
Swampy I don't think it's a matter of either/or. Gavin Adler is a generational talent, and if we could have 4-5 defenders like him, we could go undefeated. A team capable of winning the NC needs defenders who are fast, skilled, and able to be physical when necessary. It's not an either/or. Defensive poles are already physical. Many are more physical than Adler. I would say Lavelle is one. Butby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 2 days ago
Local Motion Actually Gilmartin against Penn leveled a guy that knocked the ball out and set up a quick score by Cornell. Cornell has some exciting rising sophomores going into next season. Cornell has the fire power, but all I am saying is our defense needs to be more physical. Even though Cornell had a great season, we lost the overall season turnover battle 202 to 215. In comparison, Penby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 2 days ago
Local Motion Luke Gilmartin scored two goals vs. Penn in the Ivy Tournament. In high school last year he scored 58 goals and 23 assists which are more like attack numbers. I am thinking Cornell may promote Gilly to first team midfield next year rather than SSDM given his ability to play offense too. He is also a very good golfer according to his bio. On the defensive side Cornell needs tby mike1960 - Other Sports

Scersk '97 mike1960 Scersk '97 Graduate students are professors' serfs or, well-nigh, vampirademic blood meals. Not true. To which I would say, perhaps hyperbole but sometimes very true. There are other words that will work as well as "hyperbole."by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2024 - 11 days ago
George64 Trotsky It's the Ivies. None of us have had a decent football team since the 60s. To me, decent means being competitive in the Ivy and Patriot Leagues. A low bar, to be sure. That's what I meant: competitive in the Ivy League, fun to watch, etc.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Schoellkopf Field needs to be upgraded to Ivy standards. - 12 days ago
The stadium looks kind of run down on television. For instance, you can see rust on the steel posts that are attached to the concrete structure. There are lots of great products now that rehabilitate concrete. It could do for major makeover.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Swampy CU2007 Ken711 Cornell had their spring game yesterday. Now it's waiting until training camp begins in August. And somehow Cornell still couldn’t come away with a win Of course. They're getting ready for the fall. Would be nice to have a decent football team this year.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 13 days ago
Just saw the Princeton-Penn score. 18-11 Cats. I will definitely watch this one to see how Princeton scored 18 on that defense. Earlier in the year, they scored 15 on them, the highest total until today against Penn.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 13 days ago
CU77 mike1960 In both Penn games, it seemed to me that Penn figured out a way to neutralize our offense and we didn't a plan B or plan C. There was an exception. In the Ivy tournament, we sent Kelleher to X against a short stick, had him drive to GLE, pass around the top, and then get a good shot on the other side. But we didn't go back to that, or try other things to make the defense scramble. Tby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 13 days ago
upprdeck Kirst rumored to come back. Lets see. The key part of the game were the 2 TWO min penalties we didnt even really generate shots down 2. A few bad unforced turnovers in a game like that hurt as well. Yes, those turnovers really hurt. Our guys must have felt the pressure. That happens. Honestly, I thought we were (are) the better team, and I was certain we were going to win goiby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 13 days ago
arugula We screwed ourselves over. Unlike hockey at least we blew it by playing a strong schedule. Harder to be too upset about some of the lacrosse losses versus hockey losing to Colgate etc. Funny that Kirst is the Award candidate when Long is the most important player. If my math is right is that 100 total seasons between hockey and lacrosse of being national contenders and never winby mike1960 - Other Sports

Swampy CU77 Georgetown beats Villanova in a wild Big East championship game, 11-10 OT. Big Red's hopes have dodged the first of 3 bullets. We're all Pennsylvanians now! Michigan over PSU 16-4. We're all in mourning now. How many ways can Tambroni screw us over this year?by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 15 days ago
We looked a lot better that quarter. Our defense is picking up. We need RG30 to score. Gilmartin has really raised the level of his game.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 15 days ago
CJ has a great D man on him. We're going to need other guys to step up. I like what we were doing at the end of the half -- intense dodging behind the net and shooting or passing. Without Mikey Long, I think we're going to have to ask RG30 to win this game for us. We've made mistakes on defense and we've paid for it. At least four Penn goals were just old fashioned dodging and shooting. We gotby mike1960 - Other Sports

Trotsky mike1960 I like that our offense is spacing things out. Their goalie made a good stop, but if we keep shooting, we'll score some goals tonight.Their goalie has made two ungodly Drydenesque moves so far. I hope he's not going to have his career night. He's been good so far. We can't let him get in our heads and think we have to make the perfect shot. If we just keep making good shots,by mike1960 - Other Sports

Trotsky semsox Trotsky Why did we have to surrender the ball after that takeaway? They called a hold on Follows (45) I believe.Thanks. I'm never going to understand this game. They got tangled up and the ref decided to make it a thing.by mike1960 - Other Sports
