Cornell vs. Syracuse

[Greenberg '97]

LET'S GO RED!!!

[Jacob '06]

Well I think after the Bemidji Grand Rapids fiasco I'm gonna be superstitious and not allow myself to go to the finals. Hopefully against Syracuse we can use the same game plan and slow the ball down and keep a lot of posession.

Woot! Awesome

Local derby for the cham-peen-ship!

If I'm not mistaken, neither team has trailed in a tournament game so far.

The big question on defense for CU is how well Moyer's legs handle two games in three days.

Go Cortland! Go Red!

Go Cortland! Go Red![/quote]Or our goalie work. SU has the edge here, we need to at least do well. We can't have to change goalies in the game, or we've lost.


 Next is our depth; I think SU also does well here. The easy game with Virginia will help. If we played this as a best of seven, SU would win. With one game, we can put it together.

And Go Lemoyne, Cortland, and Red. OCC has already won their championship!

After staying and eating and drinking until they shut us down as it was getting dark last night (that really was one awesome party that Cornell threw all day), I can't even fathom the thought of doing it again...but I'm sure I'll find a new wind when I wake up tomorrow morning.  

For tomorrow:

-Lots open at 9 a.m.

-Tailgating will be in the same hospitality tents

-It will be BYOB again but unlike yesterday, I'm told there will be no food or drinks served pre-game - just look at how much was spent on yesterday.

-Post-game there will be food and drinks (pulled pork according to Al - maybe he's cooking!) and the team just like yesterday and hopefully a nice shiny trophy that doesn't say second place or runner-up on it.

Not that I don't usually agree with what Jim has to say, but I really really agree with what he's saying.  Grand Rapids was a fluke.  You showing up had nothing to do with us losing to Bemidji.  Days like tomorrow don't come around every decade.  They use to and maybe this is the start of something, but if it's not, you'll have only regrets if you miss this.  This is a national championship game.  I'll expect to see you.  It's only four hours max and no foreign border crossings.  The beer I'll have waiting for you will get very lonely if you're not there.

I was tempted to make the trip myself, but it would be after getting home to NYC from Atlanta at about 1am, and I really have too much to do. But I'm certainly going to watch it on TV, whether at home or at Ship of Fools.

The team gets a shout-out from Skorton at commencement:

We are sorry that our men's lacrosse team seniors could not be with us today; they are with their teammates in Foxborough, Massachusetts, preparing for tomorrow's national championship game against Syracuse. Their victory yesterday against #1 Virginia earned them this honor for the first time in 21 years...somehow I think they would rather there than here.

[Tom Pasniewski 98]

Sitting here, contemplating tomorrow's game, I can't help but think how I have never ever been so eager for it to be Monday morning already.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Is it Monday yet?

No matter what happens, thank you, seniors -- players, managers, band, fans, everyone. What a great ride this has been.
