They've been telling most of those same jokes for years now ...

On the plus side, they both know lax very well. George's comments on details of play are more insightful than those of the vast majority of announcers.

And this year the video production was greatly improved over last year.

Even worse. The "jokes" are stupid and unworthy.

Yale is playing big boy defense against Harvard.

Sounds more like they workshopped their "jokes" with fellow dude-bros at dinner last night and worked them into the broadcast when they could.

I can't remember ever seeing one.

seems like Cornell picking up a lot of penalties

Big Red playing with a bit too much aggression, or the refs slanting things

Same here. Watching the box score. It looks like the scoring was really spread out among players.

Note: Michigan beat Penn State! (?)
Ohio State beat Hopkins. (Milliman's last year?)
Yale is up on Harvard 5-2 in the second.

I don't think it's a make-or-break game for us. I hope we play well, develop more as a team, and win. But the main thing for me is no injuries. 

I stopped reading and threw up in my mouth a little bit with the words "our president."

Looks like we're doing well so far. Can't watch today because people are over.

Great game by the Yale goalie. 20 saves and not many of them easy. He was the difference.

We had 32 shots on goal to their 24. Still, it felt like our offense was pretty one-dimensional and predictable. We moved the ball around with each player taking turns trying an iso until the clock wound down and we hurried a shot at the end (or turned it over). There wasn't a lot of movement off ball and very few cutters (if any). This kind of offense will work with a CJ Kirst to bail the team out, but not like today when only one of our guys has some success beating his guy one-on-one. I would like to see more movement, off ball screens, and more of a cutter offense to beat great goalies and tough defenses that we're going to face down the stretch.

Also, there are ways to get around the "locked off" attack. We can use v cuts, screens, or even shooting high and having Goldstein bring it in from the back line. We are a better team when the ball goes through X.

I'd say Andy Shay earned his pay this week.

Some discussion of the game by the guys at Inside Lacrosse starting at -19:10.

Fun comment that the guy (coach) at the front of the Cornell bus "is a young guy who can still run by a pole."

Positive notes: Firth and Goldstein elevated their play; the good play of the short stick middies; team effort on offense; D work on ground balls.

League comment: Unexpected wins in the Ivies because the teams know each other so well and make plans.

Huge away win. Great job all the way around by the Big Red.

MVP to Tully. He was absolutely terrific. But a close second is the defense. Fantastic teamwork against the Princeton scorers.

I think we were 100% on clears today. Practice makes perfect.

Timeout Princeton with 1:38 to set up scoring play.

We miss Jack Cascadden right now.

Forgot the guy on the doorstep.

13-11 Cornell.

Let's wins some faceoffs and take this one to the house.

Unsettled situation. Goldstein wide open in front of the goal.

13-10, 4 minutes left.
