[LAX] Cornell-Harvard at Gillette Stadium

[Josh '99]

For what it's worth, ESPNU has a lot of NCAA lacrosse tomorrow but it's all (SHOCKINGLY) of the Southern flavor.

Speaking of "Southern flavor," I just went into the SI Vault and read their piece about the inaugural NCAA lax championship game in 1971.  The title?  "The Big Red Votes Itself No. 1."::banana::

Yikes!  Army trailed Bucknell 6-0 at the half.  Now 7-4 in the fourth. [Edit:  now 7-4 final; not good for RPI]

Equally amazing, Navy 5, Maryland (conqueror of Virginia) 0 at the half. [Edit: Navy holds on 5-4; apparently played in a storm]

Brown 6, Yale 5 in the third. [Edit: Brown 9-8 final]

[quote RichH][quote Al DeFlorio]Cornell-Harvard lax will be on CN8 in New Jersey, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and "Cablevision homes"--whatever that means.  Asterisk says "subject to change.[/quote]

It's also listed for the New England flavor of CN8.[/quote]

Will it be streamed on the Internet a la the Penn basketball game?

[quote Hillel Hoffmann]Harvard's program has a lot of Cornell connections. I knew about Tillman, but I didn't know that Harvard captain Scholl was a Cornell legacy until I read this morning's piece in the Crimson:

Wish I could be there.[/quote]

So who do you think Scholl's father and grandfather will be rooting for? If I were them, I would be hoping that Scholl plays heroically, but that the Big Red are valiant in the end.

Navy holds on for a 5-4 win over MD.  Certainly will help our SOS, while the Army loss hurts a bit.

[quote Jim Hyla]This game is also being broadcast on TW here in CNY. So anyone with TW might check your listings. I checked around NYC and it doesn't look like it.[/quote]


Looks like it's on TW channel 26.

Is anyone else getting an infomercial on the web stream?

Sitting at the 50 yard line and in the first row at Gillette Stadium was a rare treat.  I felt closer to the action than at any other venue I have watched the team at.
