So many questionable skip passes and turnovers.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio Have to stop the high-risk passes. We're trying to make the perfect passes to the crease attacks. I guess the BrownBear goalie is in our head.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Lax: Brown at CU 4/6/24 - 28 days ago
big29red I believe Wallace was in a boot and on a scooter at the 'Cuse game. Based on that look-I'd say he's possibly done for the year. No idea about Davis- just terrible injury luck for the Red with these key defenders.I don't know if it's the turf, a lot of bad luck, or a combo of both. However, they really need the SSDM to step up, w/o Davis or Bozzi. I really think they need to start to recrby mike1960 - Other Sports

rss77 Brown will be a challenge. Not sure when Davis or Wallace will be back this season. What happened to Walker Wallace?by mike1960 - Other Sports

chimpfood CU77 Al DeFlorio chimpfood I like sudden death OT. Walk off goals are just electric. Would you want sudden death in basketball? I would like the entire sport of basketball to experience sudden death. Does that count? I used to be a big time Celtics fan but I literally cannot bring myself to watch more than 10 regular season games anymore. Even 7 game playoff series feels like overkill aby mike1960 - Other Sports

Cornell95 note that J Spallina has weighed in with a cryptic comment on the ejection Spallina then refers to another Tweeter, who says that the ref is a former volunteer coach and employee at Cornell. But he hedges, offering his version of "I'm not making accusations. I'm just asking the question." I assumed the SU coach was tossed because he touched the ref while arguing.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 30 days ago
One thing we learned from the Syracuse game is that we are effective when we open up the field and create more space. We tend to pass the ball to get a closer shot and squeeze the defense down, but that also clogs the middle, especially with the crease attack in there. When we spread things out by just two or three steps, the SU defense had to make longer slides and were in some difficulty. We spby mike1960 - Other Sports

Cornell95 For the SU game the Canadian and United States anthems were played over the PA system guessing we might see the pep band in the stands doing both when the weather is better and students arent on break Thanks!by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 30 days ago
Cornell95 I went to the SU game with my brother and sister (SU fans, I tolerate them LOL) and we had no issues getting tickets walking up. I wouldnt expect the crowd to be larger for Brown (less rain but still chilly, and I assume no Brown fans while SU had some diehards in attendance) bathrooms and a concession were open. I thought the tickets were still $10, but it does look like they havby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 4 weeks ago
We bring such passion, energy, and skill to our wing game on the faceoffs and on our riding. Both have paid off fantastically. Question: Why don't we bring that same mentality to the defense all four quarters? Make that our calling card.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Lax Syracuse at Cornell 4/2/2024 - 4 weeks ago
billhoward mike1960I hope Barry gets better soon and returns. The camera person needs to stop with the close ups! I can't see the field! OTOH: The video guy needs to zoom in some of the time, too. If I'm a coach charting how the sets worked and I need to see the entire half of the field, cool. But when it's zoomed so far out and you can't see the ball, and you know if it was a goal or not you onlby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Syracuse at Cornell 4/2/2024 - rest of season - 4 weeks ago
billhoward Is this the game where we slipped past the odds or ... does this set us up for the rest of the season? Give us the confidence to clobber the rest of the Ivy competition even if we don't host the ILT? We go as far as the defense carries us. That was evident from game one. If they play like they did today in the second half, we can do some damage this year.by mike1960 - Other Sports

billhoward mike1960 I'm too old for this. Dude, you are never too old for this. This is better for anti-aging than injecting monkey hormones. Or lurking in the ladies' dressing room at Bergdorf. I saw Cornell lose about 3 times in my mind in the overtime before we nailed the victory that resurrects this season. LGR!!!

Re: Men's Lax Syracuse at Cornell 4/2/2024 - 4 weeks ago
ugarte Knust save, Cornell turnover, Cuse turnover, Cornell ball... Goldstein misses from in close but Cornell getting an EMO with 60 left... Cornell misses but backs up... Cornell misses AND doesn't back up. Terrible shot from distance. Knust save as time expires. 2OT. We looked so much better when we spread the offense out a little and forced longer slides from Syracuse.by mike1960 - Other Sports
