Cornell lacrosse 2019

[Al DeFlorio]

Bullen very effective after 5-goal Lehigh start.

Ras hurt?

Yes, per Cornell Sun — "Sophomore FOGO Paul Rasimowicz missed the game with an undisclosed injury, and Cornell was just 9-for-27 on faceoffs in his absence. Junior long-stick midfielder Brandon Salvatore took the plurality of Cornell faceoffs, winning four of 12, while sophomore FOGO Luca Tria won four of his 10 faceoffs. Milliman said Rasimowicz is day-to-day going forward."

Last thing Cornell needed.

Well at least day-to-day is about the best we could hope for.

Attendance of 342 for the home opener of a top-10 Cornell team with a storied history (and the best player in the country) is just sad.

Are the championship banners back up yet?

Gale force winds, rain and fog?  Yeah, just watch it online.

OK I didn't know about this "February break" thing ...

Cornell today! Students are getting soft. Back in the day we never had breaks, except to take prelims at 7:30 AM, everyday but Wednesdays, St. Patty's, and Tisha B'Av. This allowed us to be free to attend athletic events in early afternoon, do our laundry, go on a road trip,  and return to campus by 9:00 PM that night, just in time to pull an all-nighter and get ready for the prelim the next morning. Even though the temperature was 15 below and the snow was 15 feet deep (in August — I was a Co-op student), we trudged through it on Lib Slope to and from the exams, uphill both ways. AND WE LIKED IT!

Oh, and we had grade deflation: our profs would actually curve our grades down. AND WE LIKED IT!

Cornell up to #3 in the polls.

Cornell up to #3 in the polls.

Definitely weird to move up after a pair of surprisingly close games against unranked teams but I will not complain.

Lots of good teams out there.  I doubt we're the 3rd best team right now, but we have potential to be very good.  Worried about the FOGO situation though.

[upprdeck]

I guess if you consider  there are only a few unbeaten teams left

Yale is about a play away from 2 losses.

who knows this early, but we won by 5 and were beating hobart by 6 late,

once you get past loyala and maryland, everyone has issues

if we beat albany i will feel better about where we are heading, but the X is really the issue we seem to have to deal with again.
