3/8/08: Lax vs. Army and other lax games on TV

[quote scoop85]Similar to last year's game down at West Point in many ways.  Army plays fine positional defense, but doesn't have a ton of firepower.  We did enough to win.[/quote]Sounds a lot like how the service academies often are in football.

Do we get a shot at Hofstra later this year?

Only should we--and they--make the tournament.

[quote Josh '99]Duke at Loyola now on ESPNU for those who get it, Duke up 4-2 early in the second quarter.  Duke's going to win a lot of games this year, especially after the NCAA said "hey, how about if we give some All-Americans an extra year of eligibility?"  ::flipd::[/quote]

completely PR driven and IMHO a major faux pas by the NC$$. total BS in my book ... these guys are going to have 4 1/2 seasons of time on the field and likely break many scoring records. they should have given them back the number of games they missed + playoffs but not the ENTIRE season!!!

if there were ever a time for an asterisk in sports, this is it.

I'm not sure what triggered their doing this but someone on the laxpower forum just called attention to a laxpower computer power rating looking at years 2000 through 2007: http://www.laxpower.com/millenium/binmen/rating01.php

And where Army has the firepower, they can't use it in Iraq for fear of taking out the hospital down the block.
