Re: Cornell lacrosse 2025 - polls 4/21/25 Cornell #1 - Today
CU77 billhoward Larken Kemp in has the teams in these brackets going into the weekend of April 28: Gotta love the man's prose style. He opens with "Hours from Ulaanbaatar, at the edge of the Mongolian steppe, where the horizon stretches unbroken and silence rides the wind, the Mongol Derby begins." Lacrosse is not mentioned until paragraph five. He was also great fun to watch as aby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Other Sports

RichH chimpfood Veilleux scores to help Muskegon to the second round. Our PP should be fine with him and Fegaras on the blue line. I’ve got to admit it’s getting better, a little better all the time (it can’t get no worse) Yeah, it can, but we're not talking about hockey then.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Swampy stereax The Rancor Snowball arugula Surprised no team has taken a flyer on Ondrej. Someone's going to pick him up, there has been a lot of interest in him. He might be more interested in European leagues, considering the state of our country and it's immigration policy. He's likely on a student visa.

There weren’t any further details so can anyone think of an angle to which these past three years could be considered the best three year stretch in program history? Recency bias? Of course!

David Harding My apologies. This isn't Cornell or hockey, but I couldn't find another thread on The Portal in general. There's a graphic that shows where the starting five of each sweet sixteen team played as a freshman. It's dramatic. Dramatic indeed.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Scersk '97 Weder It looks like Clarkson has played Big Ten schools a bunch in recent year, both in Potsdam and away. If Casey could get them to play in Potsdam, you'd figure he could get them to Ithaca. I don't know: OGS and MSS are quite the hubs! Ogdensburg has an airport? Who knew!by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Dafatone scoop85 pjd8 Unbelievable. I’ve been watching sports for over 55 years. If that’s the rule, it’s as bad a rule as there is in sports, and the officials have to use common sense given the situation. Yup. What's funny is that when we got hit by this earlier this year, the announcers (road game. Princeton maybe?) talked about how they see this call every couple weeks, even though it wasby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
