He said he has academic issues though, maybe he is ineligible and they couldnt get him to play even if they wanted to?

That's what it sounds like, although it isn't really clear from Starsia's comment.  The decision may have been out of his hands.

Probably some ornery professor (maybe even a Cornell alum) won't change Bratton's grade to make him eligible.

Lotta love for Cornell in this discussion (maybe too much):  http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/38454/inside-lacrosse

Hope they're right.=]

How can they be right?
Danielle Bernstein picks Hopkins, Maryland, Duke and Cornell for the final four and then later picks Hopkins versus Syracuse for the final.  Woweee!  That must take some doing.  And then Zach Babo says the list for potential impact players is long, so he's going to stick with Seniors - for Cornell, Rob Pannell....and then for Virgina, Steele Stanwick....  Zach, these are Juniors!
A good read but is anybody awake?

Yeah, big momentum shift from the beginning of the game. However, from what I gather, this is LAX and to paraphrase a Sportscenter anchor, "anyone can make a run". Though it would help if we could get the ball down to the other end of the field. 8-4 with just under 4 min left in the 1st half.

[Redscore]

4-9 now  Ugly!

[Al DeFlorio]

Offense can't handle the junk defenses and Virginia's ball movement and off-ball movement have been remarkable.  Complete reversal from the 2009 semi-final.

[phillysportsfan]

10-4 at the half, defense getting shredded

[Cornell95]

That shot off the post would have been a timely goal
At the X uva seems to be improving as well
I would expect some fo variety in the 2nd and the big question is whether coach goes to West in goal (more to wake up D than a statement on AJ's play)

[Cornell95]

11-7 uva lead end of 3rd

[Cornell95]

12-7 uva lead with 9:27 left in 4th
Cornell fails to capitalize on unsettled situation during failed UVA clear

[Cornell95]

12-9 1min remaining
