Cornell lacrosse 2025

[Weder]

Never heard of the lads unfortunately, my lacrosse knowledge starts in 2022 pretty much. I guess it does well to keep the median age of the forum above 60. Thanks guys.

I was a kid in Ithaca when they were at Syracuse, so they're engrained in my lacrosse memories even though I don't follow the sport super closely.

How on earth do you register on fanlax? I've tried to to make an account multiple times but the confirmation question says "Paul and Gary's last name. 4 letters." I've tried putting random stuff but it says invalid answer. I don't think I'm a robot but I cannot decipher what that means

This is hysterical!  Not making fun of chimpfood; rather the notion that Gait is a magic password.  I bet there are a lot of lax fans who wouldn't know how to spell it.... I mean, how about "Gate" if you never saw the written word?

Agreed. Amazingly myopic (and reverse-ageist) attempt at gatekeeping. Really one of the funniest lax-related things I've heard in a while.

They're brothers.

Now, if you were on a baseball forum and the hint was "Mickey and Roger's team, 7 letters," would you have the same trouble?

C'mon, that's different. I've been trying to come up with something similar. So far for college hockey, I can think of "Maine's sibling dynasty started with Paul" or "North Dakota's ________ Circus". It's clearly targeting fans of a certain age who were around for that period, or from a certain geographical place. Why bother trying to attract new/young fans when you can ensure everyone in your community only knows things that existed 15 years before current stars & students were born?

"North Dakota's ________ Circus"

I understood that reference.

Twin brothers Gary and Paul Gait grew up in Victoria, British Columbia, and played at Syracuse from 1987-1990. Their style of play totally revolutionized college lacrosse and captured the imaginations of the next generation. They were known for their creative playmaking, behind-the-back passing, and of course the "Air Gait."

The Gait Brothers won three consecutive NCAA Championships from 1988-1990. While Gary is considered by many to be the greatest player of all time, Paul was also an All-American performer in college, and they both went on to have successful pro/international careers.

and being there watching that live with everyone wondering what they had just seen was pretty crazy.

I know the basic stuff about lacrosse before I watched like Paul rabil and Kyle Thompson but I don't know why they can't just have a captcha instead of a riddle about some old dudes

They are old dudes, but in fairness, they are defining figures in the game of college lacrosse, not just with their play, but with their later influence as a name brand for equipment and Gary Gait's coaching.

Shouldn't that be gaitkeeping::rolleyes::

So typing "Paul Gary lacrosse" into a search engine is too much to ask?

Kids these days ... ::thud::

Not sure how I didn't think of that lol

The current president froze $1 billion in funding to Cornell, so there might be some belt tightening here and there.
