God help us Cornell fans if Colgate makes it to Foxboro. They'll have to fence off the gorge.

Why would this be true? Not that I think you're serious about suicide but... why would Cornell fans even be bothered by Colgate making the Final Four?

Colgate in hockey and lacrosse had one outstanding player (Austin Smith hockey, Peter Baum lacrosse) who, had he scrolled five colleges further in the dropdown list for the common app and not stopped at C-O-L, would be in Ithaca. As sure as God made journalists with modest skills, someone is going to start off a story, "In most years, you can almost pencil in an upstate New York School as an odds-on favorite to have a 50-50 chance of making the final four, either Syracuse or that red school starting with C-O. Now it's happening again but it's not Cornell." I want to cry, once for the profession, once for Cornell. Still, I'll root for Colgate, as I did for Yale (what a letdown after Ivy Tournament week), Princeton (almost pulled it off), and Lehigh (couldn't hold that lead).

Baum's father is a Colgate grad, so I don't think he had much interest in scrolling further down the list.

I'll take Colgate. It's like Ivy League Lite.

But, remember.......

They already did. About two years ago.

And, shockingly, it had nothing to do with Colgate.

Well at least Tierney didnt get to the Final 4 again, managed to get himself a T in the process with his usual antics

Do you need more or fewer milligrams of Ritalin coming down from 5,000 feet altitude to maintain the same calming effect? Is it like baking powder? Meanwhile, the Patriot League that looked so good last week held its own this week only briefly, with Colgate and Duke tying 4-4 in the first. Then Duke put in 11 straight. Looks like a Southern-flavored final four, albeit without Hopkins.

But they keep cutting a hole in the fence over by Chi Psi.::uptosomething::

This picture was in the Boston Globe today to promote this weekend's lacrosse tournament.  Note the teams, the score and the time remaining.  So close.

I needed to be sedated after I saw that picture.

Fool that I am, I threw a $100 pair of aviator Ray-Bans against a tree after that game.
My wife says it's just that I'm irrational in my distaste for Syracuse sports; especially lacrosse.

Guilty as charged.

Noble and Lang Named All-American, Langton Selected for North/South Game.

[Josh '99]

Loyola up 6-3 on Maryland after 3 quarters.  This is only their second trip to the title game after losing 21-9 to Syracuse in 1990 (which SU had to vacate because Paul Gait was ineligible).
