Lacrosse needs to go all the way now.

I believe. The only team I wouldn't love our odds against is Maryland at this point.

OMG -- you are doing it here, too. Trashing the hockey team isn't enough.  Cornell lacrosse is ranked #1 at the end of March so if the team does not win the National Championship, they are losers.  What is wrong with you?  Didn't anyone ever explain that life is easier on all levels if you adopt a "glass is half full" philosophy rather than thinking like Eeyore.

Show me where I trashed the hockey team or said the lacrosse team would be "losers" if they didn't win the national championship. You're completely making shit up! I make the most innocent post ever and you're freaking out!

The dude is toxic, just leave him to die in the cold alone.  Right now he's using the Thank You Schafer thread to trash Mike.  He's a POS; it took 2 seasons for me to learn to not engage.

You are nuts. I did absolutely nothing of the sort. I'm moving this discussion over to the hockey forum, where you can feel free to answer for your delusions. I apologize on behalf of dag and Trosky for polluting the lacrosse thread. The ONLY thing I intended by my initial post was that with the depressing end to the hockey season, I'm all-in on lacrosse now.

There are a lot of good teams in lacrosse this year, and Cornell is certainly one of them, but lucky for us, no super teams a la Maryland in 2022 (and Cornell still came very close against them in the national championship game.)  

Look at this top 20--there are at least 7 or 8 teams where it would not surprise me if they won it all, including Cornell.  It's wide open and should be an exciting spring.

Lots of negative chatter regarding Pete Milliman on the Hopkins thread at fanlax, and they're already scheming about poaching Buzcek.Is this the future of Cornell lacrosse, having to hire a new coach every 5-10 years?

Hopkins is having a tough year. Is the thought that Milliman will be shown the door? Coach Buczek is a Cornell guy through and through, unlike Milliman or Tambroni. I doubt Cornell can offer him the salary that big sports schools will offer, but I hope Cornell makes a competitive offer when the time comes.

Can they not compete with Hopkins for salary? I get a B10 program

I had the same question. Why exactly is it that Hopkins can offer a coach more money? They have no athletic revenue. Doesn't Cornell lacrosse have rich donors who can pony up the money?

JHU is in big time budget issues as well

Buczek has both a BS in Applied Economics and Management (2015) and an MBA from Cornell (2017).  He was selected as the 2015 Senior CLASS Award winner for lacrosse and the recipient of Cornell's Ronald P. Lynch Senior Spirit Award, given to senior student-athlete whose leadership on and off the field models the ideals of the Big Red athletics department.  Also named a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection and a USILA Scholar-Athlete. I think that he'll be able to take care of himself financially in his latter years without bailing out on Cornell.

They recently laid off 2000 staff due to uncertainty over future research funding.

Well technically...
