Cornell v. Towson pre-game

[Al DeFlorio]

[quote Chris '03]I am patiently waiting for my "you can't watch this on all-access" release on Friday at 3pm.[/quote]
Watched a replay of the first period of the Hobart game over the weekend and then immediately canceled All-Access--forever, I hope.

[Chris '03]

Due to NCAA guidelines regarding televised contests during its tournament championship games, the Cornell men's lacrosse team's game against Towson on Saturday, May 12, at 2:30 p.m. from Schoellkopf Field will not be available as part of the All-Access video streaming. Audio of the game will be available, as will GameTracker for the contest.

From Syracuse.com blog an amusing "interview" with the Towson coach.

Pouring it on thick down Baltimore way...

Rare is the team that will nail their own coach's comments to the bulletin board?

I mean, cute, and refreshing in a "doesn't recant the usual coach cliches" way, but... still, kind of dismissive of his own squad.

Trying to pull a Don Nelson (Golden State Warriors coach), I guess.  The following quote is from after winning Game 1 vs. #1 seeded Dallas:

[quote Don Nelson]They'll be dominant as they should be and they'll mop us up...We have a better chance to get hit by lightning than to win.[/quote]

Maybe this is the new underdog coach motivational technique.

I guess since "the media didn't respect us" and "our opponents didn't respect us" are played out, "our own COACH didn't respect us" is where it's going next.

Worth noting that with a minute or two to play, it was Hopkins 8, Towson 7.

Also might be worth noting that Hopkins has been notorious for being unable to put teams away.

so i guess that the fact that CBS broadcast the entire NCAA b-ball for free was ok?

Interesting snippet from the Ithaca Journal today re Tambroni and the coaching staff:

"Most important, they [the coaching staff] trusted in their 11 seniors to transform a patient, half-field style team into an attacking, up-and-down, ride-them-into-submission machine that led Division I in goals scored (14.38) and margin of victory (8.0).

"The change prompted Princeton coach Bill Tierney to call Cornell 'the new Syracuse.'"

Actually, Syracuse was the new Cornell.  We're the new new Cornell.

[quote ebilmes]If they're looking for a good crowd in the middle of finals, charging students $5 isn't the way to go[/quote]

So I guess charging $3 for students on Slope Day wasn't a good idea either. ::drunk:: Hopefully everyone will show up and support the team anyway.[/quote]

I wasn't implying that I wouldn't attend because of the charge, but just saying that anything that costs money will make college students second-guess whether they want to attend. It's supposed to be a nice day, so hopefully there'll be a good turnout.

As for the $3 on Slope Day, there was no charge for students this year.

Looking forward to tomorrow's game. Let's Go Red! ::banana::

Edit: Looks like I'm going to be a little tired for the game...Damn finals week.

For any night owls with ESPNU, the replay of the JHU-Towson game will be aired from midnight - 2 am (followed by Syracuse-UMass at 2 am).

actually there is a pretty large charge to the students for slope day.. its just buried in all the fees.  you dont think several hundred employee's not working for a couple days doesnt come at a cost to the university?

Be that as it may, the marginal cost of actually choosing to attend was apparently $0. That's the cost that would effect attendance (for sports as well as other events like slope day).
