DU-Fan great info and summaries. Thanks for posting. Should be an exciting year with so many NCAA tournament caliber teams on our schedule.

Go Pioneers

We also have 3 opponents in the 11-20 spots: UNC, Towson, Gtown. Nova close to inclusion in 2nd 10 grouping.

Go Pioneers. Just curious, Denver is also the Pioneers. Lately fans are referring us as PIOS. (past 5-7 years and it's really caught on. It seemed to begin with Lacrosse) Is that happening at Sacred Heart?
Your hockey team has a real shot at making NCAA's. GO both Pioneers.

Nice job Hoyas. Big time win which made most of America happy. Winning a NC in any sport is incredibly difficult. That's 3 BE teams with recent championships in sports that really do matter: Gtown, Nova, and Denver. If any of you have some pull, ask Commissioner Ackerman to let DU join the BE in all...

We're talking soccer? Please, NO.

Kinduf: Comment of thee year by you. Very funny. Hopefully you know I was not being sarcastic.

Hoodat,

thanks for sharing.

Hopefully some of you are DU hockey fans. If so, you must read Puck's 70 Year History of DU hockey at letsgodu.com. It's a four part series. with tons of information and also very entertaining. It's amazing work and award worthy stuff.

DENVER, PSU, VIRGINIA, SYRACUSE Case for Denver: Yes, they must rebuild their D. Tierney recruits athletes for defense and he makes them successful. However, expect DU to have the ball most of the time. New FOGO was by far best in HS and now Baptiste trained. (78% at Culver) Walker great on offense,...

Denver has none. One would think they would use the Broncos bubble, but that hasn't happened.

I took thee survey and you should also. Nothing personal about who you are.
Fair questions. Only tough part is if you have favorite player but not a favorite team. That's my case, but I suppose that is rare.

Wheeler, the committed players think they know what's ahead of them, but they don't. Lots will be putting their names in the transfer portal mid-fall so they can be somewhere else for the 2nd semester.. If the new recruits turn out to be great, then the upperclassmen can transfer.

I agree with most of Puck's and 10"s points. Last year's team was a mess. If every player was around and healthy, the 2019 team was constructed to win a NC. (best defense in the Tierney era) Same goes for 2018. De-committing is a major issue. Pretty tough to keep kids from going Ivy. 2 Canadian...

My concerns and thoughts: Geis does not return. It was only 7 months ago he tore his ACL. Defense better get better quickly. It might not. Luckily offense will have ball 60-65% of the time. Last year a lot of offensive players shot without picking their target areas. Got to do better than that.

Weekend will be a central NY lacrosse love fest. DU will conduct clinics on Friday. HOF Dave Urick being honored. Urick is a legend like Tierney who both played at Cortland. Their careers and paths to great success overlapped. Urick coached then D3 Hobart lacrosse to 11 straight National Championshi...

Gunnerz: Paragraph 2 is hack writing. Tierney would never speak that way about coach Posner. Also, the writer put a "but" where if anything a "and" would have been the proper word. It changed the entire purpose. Tierney doesn't lose train of thought mid-sentence. If a writer quot...

Gunnerz: Thanks for sharing the article. Fun read. Trevor made FOGO a really cool position. Thus, many kids have trained to be fogo's for the past 5 years. Even some lower level D1 schools have recruited stud fogo's. Alex may be the best, but it's doubtful his numbers will be as good as Trevor's or ...

I disagree with Puck on a few of his offensive takes. 1. Last year, we were miserable against zone defenses. Fixable, and Brown needs to fix it. 2. We probably have enough scorers, but who are they besides Ethan Walker? I felt last season we lacked confidence in our own shooting talents. Kids were s...

DU played Utes last season and will probably have them back on schedule soon. This likely last time we play Cleveland State who we played because Tierney's son in law was their HC. He left in off-season but we probably owed them 1 more game.
