[quote ugarte][quote schoaff]When all was said an done, the Big Red scored three times in 19 seconds, an NCAA record for quickest time between three goals in regular season or tournament history.[/quote]
Wow. I was in awe as it was happening, but since the announcers didn't say anything I figured that it couldn't possibly be a record. Wow.[/quote]
Duke lacrosse team has never scored three times in under half a minute?

Wow on many fronts.

1.  The fact that it took five days for any mention (at least here) that these were the three quickest goals in regular season or tournament games.

2.  The fact that that is the quickest time

3.  Cornell sets the 2nd quickest time of ten seconds then goes immediately and replaces it with 9 seconds in NCAA play.

4.  That ten seconds is tied for 14th quickest goals all-time and 9 seconds is 13th?? Are we talking tenths of seconds here?

Maybe there should be old and new records, the old records for games played before there were tenths of seconds on scoreboards. Could it be when you think in fractions of seconds, somehow we perceive time differently and respond in different ways? Like say run up field more quickly?

... or was this conversation already played out in the candle-light scene ("I won't go schizo, will I?") in Jennings'/Donald Sutherland's bathroom in Animal House?

Yep, we're all just marking time till we head for Baltimore.
