Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
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.by mike1960 - Other Sports

upprdeck thats a shocker i think. cornell line down to 1.5 tomorrow I'm surprised about the line. The Ohio State hasn't looked that great this year.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 4 years ago
billhoward Ken711It is being designed as a permanent structure, not an inflatable dome that goes up and down seasonally. I doubt it would be so large as to hold 1,000 spectators for actual game use, even the permanent practice facilities at Big Ten schools aren't that large for such intended use. Permanent is better than seasonal so long as it doesn't have aluminum siding and roof. The campuby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Lax lawsuit - visiting parent hit by ball - 4 years ago
David Harding mike1960 Anyone know how this was resolved, if it was? I can't find anything on the internets. You must be kidding! The suit was only filed three months ago. If you want follow along at home, the case is EF2019-0706 - Tompkins County Supreme Court You can look it up at where the complaint and Cornell's response are filed. Thanks, David!by mike1960 - Other Sports

Jeff Hopkins '82 ugarte upprdeck Nice game today.. 21-11 i think.yep. any idea why this was a neutral site game? Probably to fit the schedule and save travel costs for both teams. High Point Plays UVa on Tuesday, and they're probably not driving home just to double back 200 miles to UVa. So why not squeeze in an extra game? That's what the announcers were saying on Friday.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
I watched Yale v. Penn State. Those are two talented, well-coached, and very physical teams. Cornell will have to play their best games against those two to be successful.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
Petrakis is emerging as the best stick on the faceoffs, but he struggles sometimes after he wins the ball. D1 scrums are vicious places to be. He'll get it figured out with experience, I'm sure.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 4 years ago
CU77 Cornell completely dominating, winning every faceoff, scoring at will. Now 14-3 with 5 min to go in the 3rd Teat did not have a high-scoring game and he wasn't locked off, but he team still scored a lot of goals. I think this bodes well for the season when other players create opportunities and take advantage of them. Michael Long, the freshman, looked really good in X. He forced a coupleby mike1960 - Other Sports

ugarte mike1960 Al DeFlorio Three penalties first six minutes vs. Albany. Tim Graham's been doing a nice job as FOGO so far. Chase Ierlan has been solid. The slide defense has been terrific, esp. on Nanticoke. They're taking too many shots from outside. A little more patience for the good shot might work better.I'm watching the wrestling against Binghamton but needless to say that after the genby mike1960 - Other Sports

billhoward mike1960 First day practice at Bartels. (I think that's Bartels.) Duke and Virginia have probably played 5 games now before the Ivies start up. Just saw a game at the Marquette Atheletic Dome in Milwaukee. Not the greatest in terms of seating space and lighting but certainly not bad to have a 60 degree place to practice and play in early February. 3.6 million.

Swampy #7 Duke lost to Air Force yesterday. So it begins.... There's no panic in Durham. Duke lacrosse always starts slow. They have a plan for the year and know how to finish strong.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Swampy IL just named PSU the preseason #1 pick. My stomach hurts when I think of how Tambroni got away. What's the story on this? Did he see PSU as the better chance at a national title?by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - All-America - 4 years ago
Virginia beat Yale with great defense, solid goalie work, competitive FOGO play, and in general very physical play against a Yale team that likes to outmuscle its opponents. I don't see any reason why Cornell can't do exactly the same thing next year. I guess we could also use the magic long stick woodie, but for now I'll take great defense. Defense often wins championships.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
ugarte nope. season's over. Cornell beat 6 seed Towson and 7 seed Notre Dame this season, but losses to Yale (twice), Penn, Syracuse, and Penn St. were enough to keep Cornell out of the NCAA Tournament.— Raphy Gendler (@raphy_gendler) May 6, 2019 The search for a FOGO guy begins.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell-Princeton lacrosse 4/27/19 - 5 years ago
woodpile Princeton is at best an average team without Sowers. He is truly a great player but he is their entire story on offense. Nobody in the country but Teat makes that pass. Watch the replay. As above, the Cornell D should take a look at Princeton's and learn how a game can be won through physical, relentless effort. Cornell certainly has the talent. Combine smart, aggressive D with a terrby mike1960 - Other Sports
