Cornell v Union

[arugula]

Going to see Dune 2 tonight so decided to watch Dune last night and catch the replay on espn+. Then it's not there.  Just as well I guess.

[fastforward]

I can't get the replay either and I missed the game last night.
Perhaps it's for the best.
Hopefully tonight will be a better outcome

Twelve hours later and I'm still trying to figure out how to dissect that game.  It was a game with three very distinctly different periods.  Cornell came out, got that quick one and then couldn't build on it due to penalties.  They couldn't get anything going the rest of the first.  They came out in the second, won a ton of board battles and maintained a strong cycle.  They dominated in possession most of the period but they kept making that one small mistake (like rimming the puck around to a vacated point) that would allow Union to reset.  I don't know if it was the late second period goal that sucked the life out of them but they came out for the third yet again a different team and couldn't sustain any of the same pressure they had in the middle frame.  Too many one and dones in the third.  What a difference two weeks just made for the at large outlook.

Win Saturday, finish 2nd, take a week off, and welcome the fair weather fans back with open arms. ::popcorn::

what the hell does fair weather fan mean? we watch all the games! we root for them every time! we realistically assess their performance and get annoyed at the greeting card optimism in the face of bad results. the glass is half-empty but it's still my favorite glass.

This. Yet Trotsky / black widow continue to attack the "pessimists" because we care

It means everybody east of the Hudson is an entitled POS.  It's not their fault, they swallowed it with their mother's milk.  Take 30 years away and it diminishes a tad.

Hey.  black widow is one of you people who wants to garrot the coaching staff every time we give up a goal.  Careful with your accusations.

You aren't pessimists.  You're clinically depressed.  I'm on Mets reddit, I have nothing but sympathy for you.

As someone who attacks pessimists, I feel left out.

Mostly I'm tired of every single loss, pretty much across all sports these days, turning into a moral failure. Blow a small lead early on? You choked. Lose a winnable game? You have no heart and didn't want it enough. Hit a slide? Must lacking in leadership.

Sometimes teams lose. I'm completely fine with people posting that they're angry and miserable after a tough loss. But attacking the team after a tough loss, when they've had a pretty good year, makes me defensive.

It's a geographical attitude.  Every setback is a chance to mewl, attack, and bitch.  It's the mating call of an entire metropolitan area of self-obsessed victims.  Call it Nassau County Nausea.  Privilege Poker.  Nothing blowing the GW, sawing south of Westchester, towing it out to sea with a garbage barge and sinking it with all hands wouldn't fix.

While I'm gonna push for the Nassau County Nausea for a junior league team name or something, I think this is nationwide at this point.

Let's say Long Island pioneered it and then sports radio, Seinfeld and social media spread it to derps the world over.

the defensive loser energy coming off of this is so strong my phone screen darkened
