Quote from: SwampyLet's not become too elated from our recent success. One of the more interesting things about the path forward is that 3 HOF-calibre coaches stand in the way.
You've got that right.  And that's a big advantage in a game that goes down to the wire, as did the three those coaches won this past weekend.
One thing has nothing to do with the other! All I'm saying is that any strong emotions about Tierney simmered down once he stopped owning us.

Right!  That's why I responded to Swampy's posting, not yours.  Tierney's getting to be ancient history--and he looks even older than Jack Parker.

QuoteDear Big Red Lacrosse Fan:

For the fourth time in seven years Big Red Lacrosse will represent Cornell University in the NCAA Lacrosse Championship Final Four!

Cornell University's Department of Athletics has teamed up with Alumni Affairs & Development and lacrosse alumni to host a pre-game tailgate party in Lot K, right next to Lincoln Financial Field (click here for a map). The weather looks to be perfect, we expect 500+ sports crazed CU Lacrosse fans and we hope you can join us... should be fun!

Schedule of Events for Saturday, May 25, 2013

Tailgate opens: 11:30 AM

Parade: 2:00 PM

Game starts: 2:30 PM

Cost: $20

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE TAILGATE

Event Details

Our tailgate area will open at 11:30AM and the Big Red Pep Band will parade the parents, former players and fans into the stadium around 2:00PM to cheer the Big Red on to victory! Traditional tailgate fare will be available: Subs, salads, cookies, bottled water and assorted sodas. The sale of alcoholic beverages are prohibited outside of Lincoln Financial Field so it's BYOB.

If we win on Saturday, we'll do the same thing all over again on Monday! Look for a follow-up email!

Go Big Red!

Cornell is running another tailgate as they did back in 2010 in Baltimore

Tierney is about 60, BU's Jack Parker is 68. The younger you are, the less relevant the difference. HS students sometimes can't discern 40 from 60, or actually they can, and see no difference.

It works the other way, too.  At 25 the difference between 20 and 30 is a chasm.  At 50, the difference has vanished.  Distant objects merge.

Oh yes indeed. I recall at 24 seeing a 10th reunion event and thinking the people looked ancient. Julia Roberts said there are but three ages in Hollywood: babe, assistant DA, and Driving Miss Daisy.

Nice that we have an opponent Saturday that doesn't wear red. On the other side Monday, our bracket plays the bracket that is crimson/gold (Denver) or orange and what, white? black? for Syracuse.

Will be there... plus '???' (Got two in the Cornell section, but having trouble finding someone to come Sat).

Jeff Hopkins '82

I'll be there.

I've got my ticket for Saturday; not in the Cornell section, but in the lower bowl somewhere.  Since I'll be coming solo, odds are I'll move to a seat near the CU section.
