2026 Men's Lacrosse

just watching the boxscore
seems like Cornell picking up a lot of penalties

Big Red playing with a bit too much aggression, or the refs slanting things

Same here. Watching the box score. It looks like the scoring was really spread out among players.

Note: Michigan beat Penn State! (?)
Ohio State beat Hopkins. (Milliman's last year?)
Yale is up on Harvard 5-2 in the second.

Is double-bagel for a quarter as unusual as I'm thinking it is?

[stereax]

>>> Corrigan brothers annoying

This is like listening to the bad puns of a 1970s Triple-A radio broadcast, with 21st Century references. If this was student announcers, they might be called in to the dean's office for diversity training.

Cornell shots go off the post. "They've been hitten the pipe so often, you'd think they were in Washington, DC."

Cornell shot goes wide. "That shot went out so far left, it'll come back in bounds with a new pronoun."

Cornell gets 3 quick goes to start second half. "Momentum changes. ... Hide your wife."

Are these real quotes from today?!?

Think we will be very thankful for that win when running through ncaa tourney projections around the time of the Ivy tourney

Last year for Cornell-Syracuse it was something about pipes and Snoop Dog...
Yes, assholes.

I can't remember ever seeing one.

Some people never grow out of their grandfather's linguistic stylings. You know, pissed you have to be polite and say "Negro."

Sounds more like they workshopped their "jokes" with fellow dude-bros at dinner last night and worked them into the broadcast when they could.

I started the season thinking, If Tully was good, he would have been starting last year. Then we had the early loss to Penn State. Now, Tully and the defense have clamped down. They are good. The Wrong Way Corrigans in the announcing booth opined that Duke was not careful with some of its passes on offense. Or maybe Cornell is very good at playing D.

Maybe Michael Moore should make a movie on that.

They've been telling most of those same jokes for years now ...

On the plus side, they both know lax very well. George's comments on details of play are more insightful than those of the vast majority of announcers.

And this year the video production was greatly improved over last year.

Yale is playing big boy defense against Harvard.

Even worse. The "jokes" are stupid and unworthy.

There seemed to be dissonance between the booth and the (not so hot) truck: A couple times Team Corrigan said on-air something like "a replay might show it ... "
 and about ten secones later, there was a replay.

The scores bug at the bottom really took up screen real estate. The bottom one was just ads, promos and a attaboy-to-self for the Corrigan team. The upper bug with scores and shot clock time (but no Time Outs counter) was so tall, from a wide angle shot of a restart along the sideline, you counted to 3 and the devender then attacker merged into view. I might feel more charitable if it was five bucks not sixteen to watch, and not a painful logon.

I think RPI students do a better job with hockey.

[edit add] ... And more:

[paraphrasing] "Shot so far left ... Hunter Biden was on Jones Beach with a crack pipe."

"shot so far left ... Michael Moore is doing a documentary on it."

[And IIRC after goalie save] "Fat Jesus!" or "Phat"

Also, "shot so far left, he should get a guest spot on The View."  If only they'd stick to the play by play, they do know lacrosse.

What does Harvard losing to Yale mean for our path to hosting the Ivy tourney?
