Is Amplo on the hot seat? It could be starting to warm up a bit. If Amplo is not on the hot seat. Who does he let go. The Offensive Coordinator or the Defensive Coordinator. With this record some change has to happen. Hate when any coach does this it’s a chicken s….t move in any sport to buy time a...

Brutal self-assessment. No killer instinct. Underperforming. Navy dominated all the stats except the one that mattered. hVr6b8aGoI8 Brutal is right. No killer instinct? Captains looked very uncomfortable up there saying that but trying to put my finger on why. Coach was assuming...what? Who makes t...

Congrats to your son. You must be proud.

Who will step into the void on defense left by the commissioning 1Cs? It seems likely to be more directs than NAPSters based on the current roster. Projected 2022 returnees -- 34, 5, 49 & 47, recently 33 & 30 worked into the LSM rotation. 2, 60 (inj), 68 all have significant game experience...

A while back Orfling asked about Naps vs direct entry. Not sure if it's a trend or covid related, but we may be getting an indication. Of the plebes getting the most playing time -- 6, 28, 33. 34, 43, 49 are direct entries Napsters -- 25 https://navysports.com/sports/mens-lacrosse/roster/2021 also ...

One Greenwich parent told me she believes that, far from being a glide path to the Ivies, lacrosse had actually hurt her older son’s college prospects. As team captain and a straight‑A student with stellar test scores, he would have been a credible applicant to NYU or Columbia—but these schools lac...

Lars Tiffany is making those comments when one of the best players in his tenure at Virginia is from Fairfield county, Michael Kraus. Of course Kraus is (I believe) a Starsia recruit and he is also gone now. However Xander Dickson, if the IL page is correct, is also from Fairfield county, or at lea...

The sailing coach who was arrested at Stanford for getting paid to let rich kids in, John Vandermoer, was a floor below me FR year at Hobart. Was NOT surprised at all he was mixed up in that but it looks like Men's sailing was somehow spared? Interesting that you know Vandermoer. It looks like ther...

Stanford is dropping 11 varsity sports at end of 2020-21 — men’s and women’s fencing, field hockey, lightweight rowing, men’s rowing, coed and women’s sailing, squash, men’s volleyball, wrestling and synchronized swimming. Disappointing news and incredible given the perception that the school's fin...

Thanks, Stupefied. Had no idea. Hit my learning target for the day.

This is pretty scary for college athletics. https://www.inquirer.com/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-covid-19-college-sports-economic-impact-20200327.html?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=ios&utm_campaign=app_ios_article&utm_content=FTJQW5A5EZFAHHJUSLK2ZZUA44 Does the Coronavirus relief as...

They aint "owed "sheet. Its a privilege not a right . They had 3 2/3 of seasons with their teams that starts from September through May each year . No athletic monies granted was taken away for not playing a full season. Do senior hs players get do overs? People are getting sick, losing j...

More likely "based on" his responsibility to run the program. Yes, that's in the coach's personal best interest as well..or sure as heck should be! Decisions are made all the time to put the best team on the field, with the right culture for future success. Unfortunately, not every player...

Perhaps you have some other agenda, though? No, no agenda or ax to grind. Just totally disgusted by that interview and complete lack of professionalism and class. I agree on Tiffany being at the upper end of these guys. I just know too many of these guys from a social setting and they are not the N...

with all this talk about coming back for a 5th year it had me thinking. This is lacrosse. Yes we all love the game and would like to play until we are 90. But lets face facts, even with the pro leagues, a majority of the players are not making enough to support themselves. I was always of the minds...

Tiffany talks about player by name If you are a good player, Dox/Kraus we want you back, if you are Gordon , well time to move on. At least he is honest. I guess that is why Video was pulled. "...hey we need your spot" comment was incredible. Interesting to hear him talk about taking scho...

So many other huge issues at hand given the expected spread of the coronavirus and the economic damage that it will leave in its wake, but.... Here's a poll for your nomination for the 2020 Tewaaraton Award based on the abbreviated season. To make it more interesting, each person can make up to two ...

Seeing rumors princeton and harvard cancelling seasons. Inevitable that all Ivies will do so, and I think it's very likely that all other schools will soon follow. Very hard to say it's too dangerous to put 40 kids in a classroom, but it's OK to put 40 kids in a locker room, and on a field with clo...
