[Lax] Cornell 20 vs. Denver 7 (f) @ Dallas, Texas

[Chris '03]

Proving how much they pay attention, many of Swami's "Big Boyz" comment about the potential impact of the altitude for Cornell's next game. :-|

430 ft above sea level... look out! Almost as high up as Chapel Hill and almost half as high up as Ithaca.

Edit: Haven't been able to get media so I can't update much up top.

Commentary...
Early season poll madness...
What's going on with these things?...
Being wrong is always a risk for rankers, but being stupid in another thing completely...

Why did everyone but the Swami have Hopkins ranked at #1 (the Swami had Hopkins at #5 for the past two weeks)? Hopkins best win was over a weak Princeton (the Tigers only win has been over Canisius). Maryland defeated Georgetown during the season's first week. Duke then defeated Maryland by a score if 15-7. Both of those teams deserved to be ranked above the Blue Jays and, in fact, had defeated tougher teams.

Among the most egregious non-sequitur of early polling was the Baltimore Sun's ranking Navy at #6 last week. This was fully three places above the Cornell team that had beaten the Midshipmen the week before. But this week, Navy slipped to #13. Navy's only game in the interim was a 14-3 defeat of Lehigh.

And Maryland is ranked too low by almost everyone. Maryland's decisive victory over Georgetown is still one of the best wins by Top Ten teams and the Terps only loss is to #1 Duke.

Emphasis added...

Right, Swami.  Maryland lost to UMBC last night in triple OT.

[Jacob '06]

Syracuse just beat Hopkins in overtime 14-13. They have a lot of offensive firepower.

And JHU isn't a big fan of OT.

Hobart almost pulled off a second big win for the central NY set, losing in OT to Georgetown.

Yikes!  Duke 13, UNC 4 in the third.  

Princeton over Hofstra, 11-6.

[scoop85]

Final, Duke 19-9 over UNC.  As of now the Blue Devils look unstoppable, but there's a lot of season left.

For anyone that watches or has ever seen "Lil' Bush" on Comedy Central, Duke Lacrosse got a quick mention,

If Duke goes all the way, they'll be so insufferable Harvard will sue for infringement.
