Quote from: BearLoverEven our 2027 ranking (11th) isn't very good, considering the class was recruited in the wake of our national title. So, we need to step it up.

What does "step it up" mean exactly? What could Cornell be doing to recruit better lacrosse players that it is not already doing? I am
not familiar with college athletics recruiting, so I am genuinely curious.

Quote from: CU77 on May 22, 2026, 01:08:35 PMVirginia fired their coach Lars Tiffany (two national championships in his ten years there) on Monday.    Rumor mill has four coaches interviewing, none named Buczek.

Does anyone have a handle on the rumors (I know that's a contradiction in terms) that the players (one player in particular) forced him out?  Or a link to a summary of such rumors?  I don't want to venture into the swamp that is FanLax Forum for this one. 

On another note, Princeton all the way this weekend, right?  No, I don't love it either but there's no way this Cornell lacrosse fan will root for Syracuse or Duke, and Notre Dame has won it all twice recently.  Plus back to back years of having an Ivy League team win it all would be good for the league.

Hopkins means Milliman. Screw that guy.

Nikolic scores! LOVE to see that.

14-6, Cornell.

Great win today. I don't love Cornell having to play these guys again in less than a week but I think Cornell locked up a NCAA bid today--the ILT will be all about improving seeding (and of course, a tournament championship, on top of a regular season championship in this league this year would be a huge accomplishment.)

I am saying this for the first time in my life: go Duke!

I agree that sudden death overtime in lacrosse stinks.

And if 50 years ago was really the last shutout in college lacrosse (there were probably others, maybe that was the last for Cornell), then my original point stands regarding the rarity of a shutout.

I saw that #20 Utah beat Queens College yesterday, 18-0.  I don't ever remember seeing a shutout in college lacrosse before.

This game started at noon--I assume the students on campus were in class--I wonder if attendance would have been better if the game had been at, say, 4:00 p.m.

This is like listening to the bad puns of a 1970s Triple-A radio broadcast, with 21st Century references. If this was student announcers, they might be called in to the dean's office for diversity training.

Cornell shots go off the post. "They've been hitten the pipe so often, you'd think they were in Washington, DC."

Cornell shot goes wide. "That shot went out so far left, it'll come back in bounds with a new pronoun."

Cornell gets 3 quick goes to start second half. "Momentum changes. ... Hide your wife."

Wow, sounds like these guys are total assholes.

Box score says Melkonnian is 6 for 7 on face offs and Cascadden is 1 for 1. Great job by Melkonnian and good news for Cornell if Cascadden is back.

I like seeing my almost name on a uni.

I loved the professional at bats yesterday. Only one game but it was enough to have...hope?

I heard Cornell is playing a hockey game today, is that true? I could not tell with all the infighting among the fans.

We played the #2 team in the country this year and there were 15 total goals scored in the game.  We played the #3 team in the country, and there were 15 total goals--scored in the first half. As a Cornell hockey fan first, I can't get over how weird it is that for the best offense, you have to look at the...the Ivy League.

Good job today, Cornell.  Don't sleep on Yale (I'm sure Cornell won't)--they lost to Princeton, but only by one goal.

Wait, what? What the hell happened to Quinnipiac?
...

After checking the scores, consider me surprised and not unhappy.
