And this is a *low* scoring game... you wanna do a 16-15?

It was mostly those 4 goals in one minute, but there were a ton close together in the syracuse game I guess

Doing these threads during lax games is very much different than hockey. getting the goal/scorers/assists/times probably takes up 75% of the time (well, maybe not quite, but a lot).

Yeah, and then there's those stretches where you end up 3 goals behind , I just put and edit it back later. But its still fun


Good of you to step up though, Jacob. Can you take it next week too while Im at Brown?

See you there, Fred.  Let's hope for good weather.

Btw, that officially clinches the Ivy autobid, and, at least a share of the title. Worst we can finish is 5-1. Best Princeton can finish is 5-1. And we win the head-to-head. Also all other Ivy teams have at least 2 losses, so there can be no 3 way tie to throw a wrench into it.

So, Fred, how does Swam(p)i explain this one?  The post?  Crossbar?  Warm weather?

Honestly, I've been thinking all season that actually beating Princeton (especially if by more than a goal or two) might finally be the straw that would break the *#*@&@'s back. Though I may be wrong, especially since he sarcastically jumped the gun on it thi sweek.

I'm sure he'll find some reason to say Cornell is no good. If I had to guess, he'll probably harp on something about a weak schedule, despite the fact that we have a top 5 schedule nationally. But man will he be stretching.

Announced attendance was over 10,000. Really good showing. Thunderstix were given out to the first couple thousand fans, I believe.

It was nice to see the '77 team honored at halftime.

Because he has underestimated Cornell all year, the LaxSalami(R) is deservedly mired in last place in his own "Big Boyz" competition. I think he put six chips on Princeton this week, helping to ensure that he will remain at the bottom. How is he going to rationalize Virginia's 10 to 9 home squeaker over Dartmouth a week after we pounded them at their place? I bet he still thinks Virginia is the better team.

Clearly the UVa/Dartmouth game was a bit of an anomaly - as UVa is a very good team, and Dartmouth, not so much. That said, he'd gladly write off an anomaly for UVa, and if we had one, he'd be harping on it constantly.

But yes, his dismal failure in the Big Boyz competition has had much to do with him refusing to react to what we've all seen this season, and instead has been trying to fit he results into this pre-conceived beliefs (i.e. pre-season rankings).

That and once he started to go down, he got desperate and made some crazy picks - Vermont over Albany, Army over Duke today. But the record speaks for itself.

This week Cornell beat Princeton, but that's not much of an accomplishment since Princeton is a very weak team having proven that by losing to a very suspect Cornell squad. Princeton also lost earlier this year to Virginia which lost to Duke which lost to Cornell, and we all know how bad Cornell is. In the end Princeton only lost to Cornell by 4 goals and hit two posts during the game which is the same as a win. So this week my rankings are 1) Duke 2) Virginia 3) Princeton. Who knew that Cornell wins over Duke and Princeton by margins so slim the NCAA should count them as losses would fool everyone into thinking they deserved a top 10 ranking.

[quote Jacob '06]I don't really understand how we got a stall call there with about a minute and a half of posession. Princeton didn't get one one a 3 minute posession.[/quote]

If you're trailing, they don't call stalls against you, which makes sense (if you're losing and want to waste time, go right ahead).  I also believe the officials won't call a stall if the score is tied.
