Title: Lax opener vs. Hobart (W10-7)
Post by: billhoward on February 24, 2010, 03:36:02 PM
On account of the first-ever Ivy League lacrosse tournament this year, the Hobart game is the first not last game - this Saurday, Feb. 27. The http://cornellbigred.com/schedule.aspx?path=mlax& schedule says it will be sunny, which I'm not sure I believe. So I googled "geneva weather" and got 47 degrees and rainy. Turns out it helps to google "geneva ny weather" so you don't get the Swiss forecast. In the lake trout capital of the world, it's supposed to be 32 degrees and snowing. Lousy way to start the season and bad weather tends to compress the differences between good and average teams. Regardless, LGR.

Edit add: Cornell builds up a 3-0 lead, then 9-4, wins 10-7. Freshman AJ Fiore looks good in goal, announcers say. Cornell's winning streak now at 1.

Game's been moved to Sunday at the Carrier Dome. Part of a doubleheader with SU-Army.

Make sure to choose the EasyList+EasyPrivacy ad subrscription when you install it, its free. The only problem with this is that certain videos such as espn360.com and cbssports.com will not play because you are blocking the video ad that they try to show before the video starts, in that case you can just whitelist those sites or specific pages on those sites

The "Live Video" link brings you to Hobart's All-Access.  I tried my Redcast log-in, but it didn't work.  I then started to register, and found it's $5.95 for a 24-hour pass.

I've had to switch to the Hobart audio.  Leonard was about 6-7 seconds ahead of the video.

I think it's a woman.

Great to have about 50% success on FO's.  I don't know if the Hobart guys are especially good at the X, but we'll take it as a good sign.

Quote from: scoop85"Ketch" on Laxpower is bemoaning Hobart's loss to a "completely ho-hum" Cornell team.

I admittedly haven't been following lacrosse during the offseason (the NC loss still haunts me and I find that I'm just easing myself back into lax now that Cornell has gotten underway), but unless Hobart's outlook has materially improved over its last few seasons, it dreams of reaching "ho-hum".
