[Lax] Brown home finale

[jtwcornell91]

Yes, I just said "precision" when I meant "accuracy".  The statements I was correcting were actually overly precise; they unambiguously said something other than what they meant.

Still scoreless at Schoellkopf and lonely in the chat. :-/

8-8, heading to OT.  I can't help but think it is my fault, because Cornell was up 8-4 when I turned the game on.  Let's Go Red!!!

End of 2OT and season.

This was the first time I listened to a game over the internet.  Aside from the loss, which was itself very painful (during the time I was listening Brown outscored Cornell 5-0 ::yark:: ), the broadcast was incredibly frustrating.  

Every time the announcer raised his voice, the sound cut out. That meant that the broadcast went silent on every shot, every save, every good defensive play and every goal.  Until the announcers repeated what happened, all the listeners knew was that SOMETHING happened. :-(  That never happened with the hockey games.

I had the same experience during the broadcast and it doubled my pain.
Bad loss plus bad broadcast = real agony.
A lot of "so called" good teams lost this week so maybe there is NCAA hope, although I don't expect it.
I think we are done and probably deserve to be done. hat's up with these lacrosse teams? he 2001 fold had to be seen to be believed, I hope 2002 does not top it!  We just have to beat Hobart.
I will always support Cornell teams and particularly the players through thick and thin -  but boy does it hurts bad right now.
Is this how Clarkson Hockey Fans feel?

I noticed the same drop-out of signal during exciting times last weekend (the PU game), listening on the radio.  I saw Barry before today's game and should have mentioned it.

The loss today was painful.  Brown's goalie came up with some big saves, but we we were hurt by many trips to his end of the field where we simply lost the ball to the relentless checks of the Brown defensemen and middies.  Maybe we'd have done better if it rained.

The ceremony afterward, honoring Eamon and retiring his number, was pretty somber.  Mike French spoke with some difficulty, but spoke well, as did Andy Noel, Eamon's wife, two of his children, and Richie Moran.   A fine tribute.

Hey Hillel

I think we went to High School (IHS '81) and Cornell ('85) together!

Why two overtimes?

Ummm...  if that's somehow a trick/insider/philosophical question, then my answer is:  "I don't get it."

If it's truly a "stupid question", then my answer is:  "Because the game was still tied after one overtime."

Am I missing something here??   ::nut::

[jtwcornell91]

I think the answer Jeff was looking for was "because there are no ties in lacrosse".

Thank you, John.

I guess we can forgive you in Albuquerque.;-)
