Cornell lacrosse 2022

[dbilmes]

This podcast by a former Syracuse player is dedicated to remembering Richie Moran. It's got some great stories by former Cornell players, dating back to Mike French, whose parents wanted him to stay home and work in the local automobile factory instead of going to college.

there will be parking there.. Its also a short walk from east hill office building parking to get there.I would not be surprised if a better walk way gets created when more things take place out there. Or a connector from the recreation way walk way gets added too. East hill plaza has not much going on for cars to be parked there as well. they can probably figure out a way to  let some cars park there for events as cornell owns it.

The art of the faceoff. Interesting D&C article about Rochester area faceoff specialists and technique. Comments by TD Ierlan.

Victor Junior FOGO Sam Ricci, who's 4th on the list in the article, is a Cornell recruit

Victor is currently 11-0, and alma mater of Chase and TD Ierlan.

This is quite an accomplishment and feather in Connor's cap. He's the youngest D-1 lacrosse coach in the country and in his first year as head coach on-field. He's coaching in the Ivy League, which this year has 5 teams in the top 10, and 6 in the top 12. Almost by definition, such a high-powered conference has several excellent coaches. Yet it was Connor who won Coach of the Year.

When Andy Noel appointed Connor Head Coach, I was cynical and thought this was yet another ploy to avoid an expensive national search. But I have to admit that even a broken clock is right twice a day. In this case, Andy Noel made a superb decision.

Kudos to Connor and kudos to Andy.

Kudos also to C.J., John, and Gavin.

the big deal is can he get the recruits to keep it going more than 1 yr in a row.. we lose some pretty big pieces of the puzzle this year and we had very little depth.. some big shoes to fill next yr

So much about college and professional sports is about "buy in" -- can you get great athletes to set aside their egos a little bit for the sake of the team. From its social media to the play on the field, this team is really pulling together, especially evident when key players went down from injury and others stepped in. We may not win it all this year (or we might!), but we are in a really good place for the foreseeable future.

I'm too lazy/busy to give you the link, but IIRC, Inside Lacrosse ranks our incoming recruits second-highest in the Ivies.

I have no idea whether Noel sucks but he has managed to keep Schafer at Cornell all these years.  I'm sure there have been poachers.

Another reason to give kudos to Andy.

Now if ADs were scored the way RPIs are, we'd have to consider football, etc. The question would be, "Does Andy get an AQ, an at-large invite, no invite, or relegation?" **]

Good story about the resurgence of Ivy League lacrosse this spring after not playing last season.

Big day today!  Press out on the shooters. Don't get behind early.

The plan shows multiple parking cells of about 50 cars each. Less obtrusive. But also a challenge on multiple-game Saturdays if you have to hunt your way through multiple parking lots. Maybe Cornell will have a camera watching each lot and visual recognition of how many cars are in each that feeds into a Red Red Park app. Maybe. Also going to need a half-dozen, at least, EV chargers in each lot. If not now, within the decade.

If players on the All-Ivy second team and honorable mention speak to team depth, Cornell has a challenge in the tournament (and NCAAs) against Brown or Penn if we make it to Sunday, but not against Yale. We have 3; the average should be 4-1/2.
