Interesting that Quint, who I think usually has us higher than the poll, has us at 8 this week after 7 last week.  So two good wins and he dropped us? Strange

and he ignored the OSU really in his write up for us

Quint rarely has a kind word to say about Cornell lacrosse. He must have had a bad experience with the Big Red back in the day.

Not much said about the Cornell D that shut down the nation's top point-getter Saturday (1G 0A):

Quote from: Quint KessenichI like midfielder Hugh Kelleher and lefty attacker CJ Kirst. Kirst is a future pro, better than his older brother. Billy Coyle scored four times against the fish throwers. When the offense moves without the ball, they get looks. John Piatelli, while not flashy, runs the show as an extension of the coaching staff. The defense makes good decisions and is well positioned, they don't beat themselves. FOGO Angelo Petrakis was 61%.

CJ Kirst, Billy Coyle, and John Piatelli were once again the heroes in a Saturday win over Ohio State. FOGO Angelo Petrakis and goalie Chayse Ierlan are a specialist combo that few can match. This team has balance and the Hard Hat mentality.

My experience is that our guys don't have much nice to say about him, either.  I was sitting near a bunch of team alumni at the Final Four in Foxboro.  When we were beating UVa in the semifinals.  Those guys all started cheering "Suck it, Quint!"

That Saturday after the 2009 Virginia game (NCAA semifinals, Cornell in a blowout, 15-6, over the #1 seed) had a golden glow. A couple Virginia fans barbecuing in the parking lot saw our Cornell caps and said, "Hey, really nice game. Good luck Monday." Then there was Monday.

So, so close . . .

Monday ever happened.

I noticed at the end of a close game this year, as time ran out, our middie at midfield threw the ball up-up-up with :03 left and the ball had a hangtime of :05. So, close 2009 was.

That and not closing out Wisconsin (hockey), 5-2 lead start of the third, got tied, lost OT. I'm sure older alums recall 1969 title game and just coming up short to Denver. Most schools, somebody creates an alumni magazine story every decade on Gettysburg's Greatest Victories Ever. Ours might be the 10 Most Crushing Losses.

We can do wins, too.

This is the stuff of miracles and the people who enabled them. I wonder how Wilson's life has been since that highlight.

I thought his sister was quoted wife posted (edit) on eLynah talking about her late brother'shusband's (edit)  hockey career which began before the NCAA's that year. She looked at that loss to Cornell with a positive spin IIRC.

Yes!
