In the playoffs might we be lucky enough to host Fugue State.

Brown State.
It's a nickname for the Brown University men's lacrosse team that traces its roots back to the late 1960s and 1970s.
"It's sort of evolved into the mindset and the attitude we play with," said Lars Tiffany, the current head coach at Brown, and a 1990 graduate of the Ivy League school. "Blue-collar, edgy, tough. When someone plays Brown, we want them to remember what it feels like to play us."

Thanks for this link, Swampy--I did not know about this. Still, Ivy League lacrosse players referring to themselves as "blue collar"?  I renew my ::rolleyes::  Also, Brown is not a state school.  And Cornell is (at least half of it.)

You're welcome, but I have the feeling of deja vu all over again. Cornell has four colleges under contract with NY State. I believe they are legally private colleges and not subject to all of the same rules as actual state schools in the SUNY system are. It is true, however, that the NY State legislature established Cornell University as the state's land-grant university.

OTOH, Brown was under a similar arrangement with Rhode Island as the state's land-grant, as was Yale with Connecticut. Dartmouth had a different arrangement and only partnered with UNH to fulfill the land-grant mission; this was because Dartmouth didn't want to risk diluting its earlier mission of educating native Americans. Rhode Island continues to subsidize Brown, particularly its med school. I believe MIT and Cornell are the only land-grant institution that are still private.

I don't know if the "Brown State" nickname has anything to do with this longer history.

Presumably it is just Upper Class Twit conceit ("We're makin' it look mean.  We'll name ourselves after the Poors.  How droll!" ).  The school was founded as Rhode Island College and renamed in 1804 after some shitbird with slave money.

So I went to the online Ithaca Journal site looking to see what was being written about this year's CU lacrosse team and....the two top stories were of the CU men's hockey team NCAA tournament game against BU.  See no need to keep up and running if you can't keep the news current.

The Ivy League has announced new tie-breaking rules for the ILT:

Bottom line: Cornell has already clinched a spot unless they (1) lose to Brown and (2) lose to Princeton by 6 or more goals. (And they may get in even then, depending on other scores.)

[JasonN95]

Did the old method use goal differential? If not, it seems like this sort of change should be announced before the season starts as teams may now play the end of a game differently (team with lead trying to score vs happy to run out the clock).

[CU77]

No, goal differential was not used in the past. AFAIK the public announcement of the new procedures was just made.

And after further analysis, Cornell is in! (Even if they lose to Brown and/or Princeton, by any goal margin in either game.)

[upprdeck]

win out to the ivy and pretty good case for an at large NCAA..  lose to brown/prin and it becomes dicy.

[upprdeck]

so the espn+ network is up and running.. i see the princeton game is scheduled but not the brown game.. so you could cancel your subscription after sat if you have espn+

do we know if the ivy playoff is on tv someplace?

[upprdeck]

found it.. espnu..

there are a couple other games on espn+  though

albany - yale

but after that unless you want to watch soccer/cricket not much value until fall.
