huge game. win and they probably just 1 more win to lock in a ncaa bid

lose, then Harvard becomes a must win

At $18 ($25?) for the game, one should have high expectations for broadcast quality.

I would love to watch the game, but I'm going to pass.

I'm planning to watch on TV on account of we have an 85" set, the cost of tolls from NJ about equals the cost of the pay-per-view , and we got company coming from Europe. I believe Corrigan Sports Enterprises is unrelated to broadcaster Jack Corrigan '74 (Cleveland Indians, Colorado Rockies). Although being there is a better experience. I am making sure nobody comes visit Memorial Day weekend to leave the Gillette Stadium option open.

Also, the weather sucks Saturday on Long Island. High-20s and snowing at Lehigh Feb. 15 is one thing, barely into the 40s two months later and it's raining men ... in red, white and orange, is discouraging. [Screengrab from Friday evening and 49 degrees]

I was going to lament the shuttering of the CU lax radio coverage here, but that article had this nugget near the end:

“The SU-Cornell game will also be broadcast on TK99 (99.5 FM) and WAER (88.3 FM) radio and on an audio stream via Cuse.com.”

Took me a few tries got signed in

Not for nothing but I noticed I could sign in with my acct on my fiber and my 5g phone at the same time?

Presumably Cornell feels they might get a recruiting bump playing a game in the middle of a lacrosse hot bed like Long Island, and it’s good for the NYC alumni base. Agreed it’s too much money for a regular season lacrosse game.

Stream/replay price is $18

Audio is working at least

Cornell strikes first right after Syracuse's first strike was waved off for a crease violation.

Thank you for posting updates.

2-0 good guys

Horrifically bad camera work

2-0 with 8:08 to go and heartbreak for Syracuse

The color analyst on the Syracuse feed is incredibly obnoxious. The open whooping and cheering is special.

Syracuse ties it; Cornell immediately scores two more. 4-2.

Crew are unapologetic homers in terms of rooting interest but not, afaict, biased as analysts. Complimentary of the opposition, no whining about the refs. Some minor pouting about the first goal being waved off but not exaggerated and with more humility that the ref might be right than we get from a lot of crews.

Ugh, we’re wearing black again.

Knust had a ton of saves.

They're getting worse by the minute. You'd think Syracuse would have better options to choose from.

16-12 Red, 1 min to play, Cornell EMO

Empty net goal, 17-12 Red final

Nice win but the Corrigan brothers are so annoying. Having to pay $18 to listen to their nonsense makes it even worse.

It did and the signup, if you were able, noted you can stream on multiple devices. My translation was: Load on three, at least one will run. I finally got video on my big TV but the upper 80% of the screen was as if 75% of the saturation was removed; only the bottom fifth was full saturation.

not only multipl devices. multiple households

Jesus Kirst with 5 goals 3 assists, 5 goals away from Cormier's record. Goldstein 3G 5A. Buncha guys chipped in. Plus Cascadden decent on the dot.

Better than decent, the Syracuse kid is a stud. I’m very concerned about our ability to compete if cascadden goes down though, and him coming off a major injury and getting this much PT scares me

That's one thing I noticed...nice balanced scoring beyond Kirst.

The radio guys said that the officiating crew was from LI and are thus really good, they then make several comments about the officials missing several calls throughout the contest

With the win Cornell's RPI moved up to #5.

ah, but you forgot that this year the committee added the criteria for teams with the best wins on days with a full moon minus bad losses on days with the temperature less than 56 F, so looks like Cornell will be unseeded, per usual.

Attended today’s Big Red - Cuse game.
Thoughts: Solid in all three phases of the game with a truly top shelf offense. Cascadden was good when we needed him, defense rose to the challenge when needed and the offense just keeps producing.
Defense and Knust were outstanding in the first half allowing Cornell to jump out to 5-2 (end 1st), 8-2 (halfway through 2nd), and a 9-5 (halftime)leads. Really impressive in first half despite clearing challenges (6/10 clearing).
Offense was elite today …moving the ball well (in what was horrible weather) and well balanced (10 different players scored). Both midfield units moved the ball
Game of runs…..Cornell scoring 6 straight in the first half to establish control of the game and a 4 goal run in the third after SU made a strong push out of the half time break. Red scored 4 of the last 5 goals.

The stat sheet looks like a 50/50 game but Cornell controlled long stretches of the game and punched back hard each time it looked like SU would get within a goal. Kelleher juice goal with 2 minutes to play (finally found a short stick after having a long pole on him all day) was the final blow to Syracuse.

Two games left in regular season to fine tune before the post season tourneys.

they were unforced errors away from a dominating win.

The game went well for Cornell. Or as the Syracuse Corrigan Sports announcers said, what could you expect when the refs blew so many calls, all of them, incredibly, going against the Orange (actually white unis, blue helmets and trim with little orange accents).

Every time Syracuse edged closer, Cornell responded. Starting the second half down 9-5, Syracuse closed to 9-7, then Cornell got four straight, up 13-7. By the end of the third, Syracuse closed to 13-11. In the first 5 minutes of the fourth, a pair of Ryan Goldstein goals opened it back to 15-11 and five minutes in, Syracuse closed to 15-12. And that was it for any scoring until Hugh Kelleher with 2:13 left and that was too many goals even for a Miracle at the Midfield comeback (i.e. tying Cornell in 2010 title game with 0:03 left, then winning in OT).

I was pleasantly surprised by the Cornell goaltending and FOGO Jack Cascadden in the first half. We more than held our own even if the numbers fell off in the second half.

Cornell    1H           2H
FO         9x16  63%    7x17 41%
Saves      10x15 67%    4x11 36%

Jack Cascadden (took all but 2 faceoffs) and Wyatt Knust made that halftime lead possible.

This was an imperfect but impressive game. Impressed that Connor Buczek managed the game well and called timeouts when it helped.

I was unpleasantly surprised by the broadcast. It took a long time to get registered, the video didn't work well on my TV / okay on my laptop, the announcing style felt like minor league hockey or baseball broadcast circa 1980, no shot clock or penalty clock onscreen, I don't believe I heard mention of how many goals or assists the leaders had.

Now on to play at Harvard next Saturday (12 noon) and close at home versus Dartmouth.

Cornell    4-0  @Harvard, Dartmouth
Harvard    3-1  Cornell, @Brown (only loss 13-11 to Princeton)
Princeton  3-1  @Penn,Yale (only Ivy loss to Cornell) 
Yale       3-2  Hofstra (4/15), @Albany, @Princeton (losses to Cornell, Yale) 
Dartmouth  1-3  Brown, @Cornell 
Penn       1-4  Princeton, @Notre Dame 
Brown      0-4  @Dartmouth, Harvard

Win out, we host the Ivy League tournament. Lose to Harvard and it's problematic because Harvard is unlikely to give Brown its first Ivy victory and Harvard its second Ivy loss. It is painful to read the Ivy League's Rules for Men's Lacrosse Tiebreakers. I believe this (2023 edition) is most current.

They had one really funny line that I tried to remember, and didn't. The rest: Borscht Belt Radio.

What happened on the dual unsportsmanlike calls at the end of the game? Kirst and a Syracuse player.

Lose to Harv in a close game we host

Of course Princ could also lose to yale to mess it up.

Someone on Cornell apparently threw it in the empty net when the game was basically over. Cuse fans and players not happy saying it was the equivalent of dunking at the end of a basketball game that was over with the clock running down. Led to some trash talking

Walker Wallace long pole goal from midfield. This was after SU defense landed a few vicious slashes on Kirst and Long as the Red were running out the clock. Syracuse deserved to have that goal scored on them b/c they certainly were chasing Cornell as if the game was still in reach.

Great pic of young kids swarming Kirst for autographs:

Kirst got mobbed (okay, semi-mobbed, snow was coming down hard after the final whistle) at Lehigh.

Makes me wonder how Cornell's fortunes would have been if Jeff Teat weighed and stood the same Ed Marinaro-esque 6-2, 215 as CJ Kirst.

su could have let cornell run out the clock. if you are gonna chase and double then scoring is fine

Correct me if I’m wrong, but was this the first that Rory Graham has replaced Caddigan on the EMO? Just watched the highlights and I’m really impressed by how we were moving and passing on these opportunities.

hard to tell from the cornell stats page.

But what did the do to try and make the cornellbig.com site even worse with the new format?

Always wonder as well why the site is a .com and not a .edu makes it feel like it was hacked.

Pretty sure all university athletics websites are .com not .edu. Maybe because of all the advertising, tickets selling and other clearly profit-motivated activities?

Graham has been on EMO shifts before, his stats page shows him having played in 7 games this year.

I know they are. I just wondered why.

It may be because they use an outside vendor to create it.

like Campus bus is a profit thing and its an .edu site. The campus store is a .com

All I know is the new cornellbigred.com site is really bad. Its written by Sidearm so not surprised.

I don't understand how they produce so much college content and do it so poorly.

The place is screw up so who knows.

Probably the outside vendor situation. And I agree that the changes are not good.

From President Kotlikoff down, I suspect their concerns spring 2025 go beyond dot-edu versus dot-com.

What I dislike about our website is it seems like there are not many skins (interfaces) so about 100 schools are the same other than the primary color.

Okay, we do look different from the Cornell College Rams sports landing page.

Then both sides can be aggrieved and look for a rematch.

I would love to see of the final four teams be Ivies / NYS teams. How about Army, Cornell, Princeton, Syracuse? You know somebody will roll out the term brainiac. <gag>
