Love it! That's some seriously classic trash talk. Maybe Jack should use it when he walks into the face off circle. Maryland can ponder it while he runs downfield with the ball.

LGR!!!

Even worse, I'm in Nice France, about to go out to dinner where I will have no service and no Wi-Fi. Game will be over by the time we get back. Get the boys rolling and bring this one home.

Does anyone know when the FOGO was first introduced into college lacrosse? Any chance it was a Richie Moran invention, and if so, when that might have been?

I'm trying to do a little research for a friend of a friend. My friend, Tony Scazzero, was a FOGO at Cornell in the early '70s. I'm trying to figure out how early in FOGO history that might have been. Tony is retiring from coaching lacrosse at Texas A&M for 46 years. The other guy played for him there and is organizing his retirement party. I'm looking to help him with some of Tony's lacrosse background.

Lots of articles to be found on recent FOGOs, but I haven't stumbled upon one that answers my question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We're gonna beat the hell out of us?

Woohoo!  (I think it's the same in French.)

Thanks for the updates.

Allez le Rouge!

Is this game still 6-4 in the 3rd?  I'm in France and things like LiveStats and the radio feed are blocked, so I'm pretty much in the dark.  All I can see is the score on InsideLax, and that hasn't changed in some time.

On his second throw, Rudy surpassed the automatic qualifying distance, so he's in Wednesday's final.  I suspect the finals will produce some bigger throws than the qualies, and Rudy is quite capable of throwing over 80 meters, holding the American record at 82.71 meters.

She didn't.  She finished 16th in the individual competition, then won a silver medal in the mixed team relay a few days later.

Quote from: jtwcornell91I'm disappointed that "Beartown" didn't turn out to be a reality show about big hairy gay men.

Well, it was canceled this year, but it's scheduled for July 10-18 next year in P'town.

Anyone else notice that if you watch any of the college hockey games currently being televised, the stands tend to look like typical Harvard home games (sans Cornell, of course)?

I was visiting Boston at the time and happened to be watching that game on TV.  I think I was as stunned as the fans in the arena.  What a shocking and tragic moment.  But in spite of the injury, he went on to be a role model and inspiration for many.  RIP, Travis.

A few articles about Travis from the Boston Globe:

While the Sun reports that No. 2 Men's Hockey Earns 10th Straight Win With 3-1 Victory Over Harvard

USCHO highlights in their Friday Wrap-up: No. 1 Minnesota State, No. 2 Cornell keep rolling with Friday victories

GoCrimson laments that In Battle of ECAC Hockey's Top Teams, No. 9/12 Men's Ice Hockey Falls, 3-1 to No. 2/2 Cornell

Finally The Harvard Crimson tearfully posts that No. 2 Cornell Handles No. 12/9 Men's Hockey

If you look closely at the third picture in the Crimson article, you can see how totally engaged in the game the Harvard "fans" are.

Yeah, that thing was freaky.  Like some sort of hybrid between the Scream movies and Pumpkinhead.

See you there.

LGR!

I stumbled on this recently while thumbing through an issue of Golf Digest.  The article ranks the golfing abilities of athletes from other sports, along with their handicaps.
