FF Semi vs. Duke

[Towerroad]

It's going to rain Saturday in Philadelphia, sunny Monday. So do we believe this benefits the attack because the defense will have trouble getting traction when Mock or Pannell changes direction suddenly? Or does it hamper the delicate ballet between the two?

If it rains the way it did yesterday it'll drown everybody.  That was nuts.

"A chance of showers before noon. Partly sunny, with a high near 65. Breezy, with a northwest wind 20 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%."

We've played in Weather before.

Yeah, but there isn't going to be Weather on Monday, when we might play the notoriously Weather-averse Syracuse.

What is this Monday you speak of?

There is no Monday until a thread appears here to discuss such a mythical day.

To be clear, I wasn't making any assumptions about Cornell playing on Monday, just that there will, in all likelihood, be a day of the week by that name.

Still not getting it. I know today is Friday an then there is Saturday nothing beyond.

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin')
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball [tomorrow]

Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes after...wards

I have heard tell of this Sunday you speak of. I think it is a day reserved for great rejoicing.

FYI for those of you spending time in your car on Saturday.

Sirius/XM satellite radio will be broadcasting the college lax semis and final on their College Sports Station, channel 91 on XM (not sure what channel if you have a Sirius radio). It is also available on the internet (you can sign up for a trial version if you don't have the internet version of satellite radio).

On ESPN3 too.

Screw those f'ing Refs!!!

[ugarte]

Un-fucking-believable.

[Rosey]

Can't really blame the refs for this one. Gotta blame that awful 3rd quarter.

The 4th quarter, however, was amazing. AMAZING. It redeemed that game and made it exciting right up until the final minute. Too bad they fell short, but at least they ended the game playing like they meant it.

[Redscore]

You can blame the refs.  There is always a hundred reasons one loses a game, but they really gave Duke a breather when we were about to catch up.  I can't let them off.  Two horrible calls that lost us possessions in the midst of almost tying the game.  Everything before that gets thrown out the window.

That's a little more than I think it's reasonable but it was frustrating as hell.

Thank you to the Senior Class and the whole team for a great run.

For those of us here and not watching tv with replay, was it really a phantom tip?

Totally blown call. Even the Duke player knew he had thrown it out of bounds and had turned and was running back.  The Connor Buzcek in the crease call was even worse....  I realize that we lost the game for a number of other reasons but I still find those calls unforgivable.  Oh well...

So duke lacrosse is the equivalent of unh hockey?

With apologies to Ernest Lawrence Thayer

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The Big Red band is playing, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere the Frosh are laughing, and the coeds jump and shout;
But there is no joy in Redville – the Big Red has struck out.

[Josh '99]

Well, fuck.

Argh really tough loss, the fast start felt like the last 2 games but I guess it was fool's gold considering we had that lead despite getting killed on the faceoffs. 3rd quarter was a disgrace but the team showed some heart with that comeback. The national championship drought continues, when are they ever going to end the drought

Not sure yesterday could have worse, we lose in a tough way and Syracuse who hasnt played well the whole tournament limps through another victory to make the title game. Cant root for either team tomorrow, we should just pretend there is no game tomorrow, I dont think I can watch it
