Very fair question re: Cornell. Obviously, H2H not flattering vs. PSU or Penn. and then Princeton grabs AQ. Based on 'eye test' and comparing schedules, I'd be more concerned about playing Cornell than Princeton or Penn in the tourney. Saw them play ND, and super impressed. That is Cornell’s issue....

Is there any case for Penn or someone else to sneak in over Maryland? I don't think its likely, but maybe given how poorly Maryland has looked. I also don't think Albany will be going to Cuse, but I think its a non-zero possibility. It eliminates travel cost, which is the #1 of NCAA seeding, lest w...

WAC has been brutal between the lines, that has been the difference in this game. Gettyburg hasn't blown the doors off or looked any better than this weekend, but WAC cannot play in the middle of the field without turning it over. That is just a basic execution issue.

wow what a stinking load of poo poo from Gettysburg. Want to say credit to wac…. but not even sure they played that well. Congrats to WAC! If people read the WAC thread, they will know I don't think Nostrant is the right coach for this moment in time, but credit to the boys winning today when they ...

One coach made adjustments at halftime, and one didn't. Speaks volumes.

Good back to back wins for the Sho'men. Impressive first half against McDaniel on Saturday, seems like the wheels fell off as they started to sub guys in but that is as expected for most D3 teams. On a more positive note, the team seems to be getting healthier as the days go on. Less guys in jacket...

Didn't know fanlax was a safe space, my bad. Was a light chirp, nothing more than that. Heard Pearce wanted the job, but no idea if he was in the running. He was one of a crop of younger coaches that were interested but a handful of alums made clear to the school the only choice was Nostrant and no...

Also tuned in. Your last sentence is where we diverge in opinion. It didn't have to be a full rebuild year. In year 2, Shirk took his team to the Centennial Championship and NCAAs. In year three, his team was winning NCAA games. Gettysburg didn't need at least a three year rebuild once their HOF co...

Big one tonight, if they split this weekend, this will be the win. Ithaca has our starting goalie from last year in net, so as long as we get possessions and put the ball on cage, we have a great shot at winning. Gonna predict 12-8 shore. This subtle chirp at a former Shoremen did not go unnoticed....

Four games into the season and so far the concern from after the Eastern loss has held up to be more than legitimate. 1-3, with at least two bad losses. The most concerning thing to me is that 4 games in, WAC is still getting beat or getting worse with the basics. For example, 18 turnovers by WAC ag...

WAC did their players a disservice hiring Nostrant. He is not a good coach for this program, it shouldn't matter what he did as a player. Third or fourth poster to make this claim. Can you be the first to provide color on why you think he is not a good coach? what is going wrong in Chestertown? Can...

W&L is a top 15 team. Washington College probably isn’t even a top 30 team. a loss this weekend is expected. the goal should be to hope for some progress. seeing better ball movement. seeing better defense. anything can happen and Washington College could win. but i wouldn’t be too upset if the...

... teams on WAC schedule that are comparable to Eastern…..RMC, Muhlenberg, Swarthmore, F&M every one of this games should be competitive for WAC Well they’re 0-1 of the 5. And Swat just downed Eastern 16-12 and completely outplayed them in the second half. If Eastern was 50% better than WAC in...

… Each time I engage with this thread I'm more impressed with the WAC alumni community. Knowing someone from the NC years, I always had a positive feel for their alums. But these guys pissing about who is to blame for their mediocrity ain’t doing it for me. Referencing here-say about personal issue...

I am disappointed to hear that as well. But I think we can all acknowledge that type of interaction is only a problem because they are losing. I know a few coaches that operate that way with national championship rings. If they were winning, people would say he is a CEO type that empowers his assis...

Referring back to my previous comment. Nostrant has not really once “coached” this team. The bulk of the responsibility has been placed on his staff. Nostrant is a great admin, but he is far out of his wheelhouse in the current realm of trying to revitalize a program. He would best serve this team ...

Time to bring Coach Rep back on the yard? Methinks yes

as an outsider. this seems like an over reaction to losing the first game of the season. Eastern is a very good team and could compete to win the MAC (York and Stevenson) maybe i don’t have all of the info. Agree it is just one game into the season, but getting smashed by Eastern at the start of th...
