Quote from: arugulaIn the huddle after the game, Dom Starsia got his team to chant "Virginia (garbled garbled) Cornell." Anyone know what he was saying?

I thought it sounded something like "We love Cornell". Probably not correct but obviously it was some good sportsmanlike thing.

Quote from: phillysportsfanWhy would they change uniforms now in the 2nd round of the tournament? arent most athletes/coaches superstitious?

Why would a team switch from man-to-man to zone defense in the 2nd quarter of a tournament game? That just seems... oh, never mind.

Huh? That is an in game adjustment. Just seems weird to me to wait till the 2nd round of the tournament to change uniforms, why not wait till next year

Nike probably wanted to get the image of the new uniforms out there, hoping that a Cornell win would help sales. Soccer teams usually wear their jerseys for the following season for a few games before the end of the current one.

I said that in the stands when the game began -- where's the silly "C" on the back? Why change now?

Since we are playing "fashion police", I just tuned into the Syracuse - MD game and a lot of the Orangemen have very bright yellow high top "cleats"(?). I don't remember them from the game last week, though I admit, I tuned in/out of the game v. Siena. I think I would have noticed them, because they are that bright yellow that I would expect on a certain college team from Eugene, Oregon.

BTW, Syracuse just pulled within 1 with 1:46 left in the 3rd.

Well at least Syracuse lost

It must have been the shoes. Maybe Duke will also have new unis for their game.

I assume it wasn't anything obnoxious, but still curious...

Doesn't Nike usually ADD black to unis?

And you were cheering for Maryland and the ACC? Oh well.

phillysportsfan · May 22, 2011, 03:31:31 PM

Yeah it is hard to root for any of the remaining teams but Maryland hasnt won a championship in awhile, Syracuse won 2 recently including 1 that should have been ours

Looks like Duke's wearing a royal blue version of the uni Cornell wore yesterday. Again, no black. We'll see if the new uni jinx befalls Duke, too.

For those still wondering, it's "Virginia rah rah Cornell". Just a simple cheer at the end of the game to recognize the opponent. Nothing to see here, folks.
