Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
semsox Just when I thought the year couldn't be any more disappointing... A very 2020 sock in the nose. Well, I hope the athletic department takes its time and finds a totally brilliant, stand up young coach. It can happen.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio Milliman's scheduled to host a men's acrosse town hall on Zoom tomorrow night at 7. Fingers crossed he takes the opportunity to tell everyone that he's not going anywhere.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
CU77 The JHU AD is Jen Baker, a former Cornell Asst AD. She knows Milliman from her time at Cornell. Rumors are that Jen wants Milliman, but the JHU lax alums/boosters want Nadelen. Let's hope the money people get their choice.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
jkahn upprdeck I see Princeton has decided to not allow any kids who drop out a chance to play the 5th yr. So Sowers is now on the market. Can Teat and Sowers switch schools now? It looks like Sowers has decided to finish the semester and then use the transfer portal. So he won't be coming to Cornell, but will go somewhere where grad students can play. A D1 coach told me last night that he’by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
upprdeck I dont think thats a done deal. the NCAA allows 5 yrs and the IVYS just need to allow 5 and then get waivers for the SRs who want to come back. If you are referring to Jeff Teat, I'm assuming he's going pro as the #1 draft choice.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
Robb So...on the bright side - undefeated season! (nope didn't help. still completely bummed.) Hard to believe we won't see Jeff Teat suit up for the Big Red again.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
I understand and appreciate the decision. Human life is at stake. But what a heartbreaking turn of events.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
Iceberg It's no longer possible to buy tickets for any Penn lacrosse game on Penn's website, so I assume that the game on 3/20 at Franklin Field is going be a no-go as far as spectators are concerned. Any word about the Yale game? Since classes are going online, I assume the game is postponed, or to be played without a crowd.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Game winner! “ARE YOU...KIDDING...ME?”The call said it all, as Angelo Petrakis’ game-winning goal with 8 seconds left capped a frenetic fourth quarter and @CornellLacrosse defeated Penn State 18-17.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 vs Penn State C18-17 - 4 years ago
billhoward You're going to see Petrakis charge in on goal and think, cripe, everybody else on the field is a way better shooter, he's gotta pass and - holy shit, his second goal of the game. Penn State didn't really slide to him.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Angelo doing a great job. I like that he's been given the chance to get battle worn to see if he's up to it. It looks like he's up to the challenge.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
I understand and appreciate old time lacrosse. I was taught: When the opponent take the ball in front of the crease, you lay him out. But the game has changed. That play has hurt the team more than once this year.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
Swampy I’d have to watch the game again, and even then the camera work may no show it, but it seemed to me the problem on the faceoffs was with the wings, not the FOGOs. Also, our 2nd SS mids need to be more patient & humble. Be in front of your man, don’t crass your forfeit, stay on your toes, and play stick-on-stick.If your man passes, you’ve win the battle. There’s no need to try to steby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
RichH I've now trained myself to just assume that we're winning when I see so much complaining on this thread. CU held on, 17-16. When you lose 30 of 37 faceoffs, there's a reason to gripe. Reisman was a great, great player, but is he doing enough with the coach's whistle?by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
dbilmes We're losing on faceoffs 19-4 but are ahead by 4 goals. Imagine if we could win half of the faceoffs? Chase has played much better in goal after slow start, too. We had a year to get this fixed. Didn't do it.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
scoop85 mike1960 mike1960 It would be nice to win ONE faceoff against Ohio State. So we go to the long pole on faceoff and must concede the possession and hope for a turnover. Really disappointing. Yeah, way too soon for that. Most of the faceoff losses have been off ground ball play, not off the clamp. I’d stick with Raz and Petrakis for now. I agree. More Petrakis than Raz, IMO.
