LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Whew ! - was terrified that harvard was going to hire Amherst's (by way of Brown) Jon Thompson - intense, uber competitive, committed, smart, relates well to the kids, successful, now mature, etc. He would have been the Ivy's next Andy Shay...... Byrne will do a nice job but not the threat to the Le...

aside from all the stats supporting one or another goalie I'd want Goss in my goal in a must game in the coming 2020 season ....played solidly in that must game against Penn in the Ivy Tourney (Brown losing by 1)........the only other Ivy goalie of late I'd even want more is the graduated Penn goali...

Agree with all of the above assessments focusing on what will be an improved edition of Brown Lacrosse in 2020 - the issue, however, also has to do with the Ivy competition to be faced in 2020. Penn may be somewhat diminished but with U Va. goalie transfer (Inside Lacrosse's #1 high school goalie go...

The Orient Pt to New London ferry leads to 55 minutes to Prov. from New London; Shoreham (Chris' residence) is 40 minutes from Orient Pt.....had considered Brown but Coach Tiffany deferred to his buddy Polley at BU and didn't pursue aggressively...now Chris has a second chance...new lax stadium at B...

Well-deserved Championship for this season's Team of Destiny !

.....now, does Kerwin take the Harvard job ? and does Annapolis home-town boy Kip get offered the Navy job?

Stony Brook still also open.....

gotta go with the more solid game-in and game-out goalie.....even over Yale winning 70% of the draws.....Georgetown exposed Yale's defense....
Penn has more senior veterans ....Penn 15 - Yale 12

No, that is not possible.....

Don't believe GC's Finn Gibbons saw the field Friday nite; much less getting four goals....yes, think Jay McMahon was the last GC native to play lax at Brown...hope that changes with the outstanding attack and defenseman enrolling.....Cook did play in the first half Friday nite; don't recollect him ...

IMHO the at-large teams that were picked were the best among those not receiving the automatic qualifiers......yes, there was no way the NCAA was going to allow an all-Ivy final....too elitest....Cornell had an argument in being in over Hopkins and Md. but do think that Hopkins and Md. are the bette...

If I was an outstanding h.s. lax recruit (with some grades) after watching all 4 teams last nite in the Ivy Tourney I'd want to sign-up to the Brown program....compelling grit and scrappiness....ability to contribute to the Ivy's most up and coming team... better possibility of playing right away......

Good sign going into the rematch with Penn is Newsome coming out of his season-long slump.....Simaan at the FO showed well at Bryant on Tuesday nite and continued the run yesterday....Goss and the Penn goalie are the two best in the League....stopped counting yesterday after 18 TO's (not in the game...

Realizing that Cornell will not want to do Brown any favors on Saturday I will still want a federal investigation if this Princeton
team beats Cornell in Ithaca by 6 or more....Mueller now being available..

The season-long TO plague continued vs. Cornell...19 with PC Tues. nite but Goss negated the damage with 17 saves for a 2 goal win....22 yesterday and Goss' 10 saves weren't enough to overcome a 3 goal loss (almost all losses this year being in the 1-3 goal margin category),,,,,,TO's above 13ish mak...

Yale has had the rep of excessive chirping for years...surprised Shay allows it...is a discredit to the program...Yale is not a Final Four calibre team this season ....

With Va. totaling 15 vs. the Cuse in the Dome; and Brown letting in 13 v. UMBC (7 saves for Goss) I don't see how Lars possibly can keep it under 20 against his alma mater at Klockner next Sunday......might be in the same mid-20's range that an angry Yale (alleged cheap/late shot against Gaudet) lai...

Exciting news for Brown Lacrosse on several fronts - University Trustees approved Friday nite a some $25 million Lacrosse/Soccer complex that will be built adjacent to Stevenson Field - to be fast-tracked so as to be completed by Feb/March of 2020 - a great shot in the arm for the program and indica...

reasonable to expect that Brown will have difficulty in overcoming Penn and Harvard for a 4th place finish to make the Ivy Tourney again held under the El on the upper west side of Manhattan for no good reason on a late Friday afternoon- evening.....beating Penn for the last few years will have no b...

Yes, Coach Daly reported at a recent lax alumni dinner in the City that Colby Gendron was a 6'8" middie who although "rough around the edges" at this point was expected to develop into a force.....was MVP of his Andover team as a senior....of course also played basketball and, I belie...

Brown pre-season ranked #36!

Good locker room posting materials......

Thanks ....found new site by accident while trolling the U Va lax site ( where Tiffany/Kerwin (“have to accept TO’s in run and gun”) have gained favor after the bloggers, initially, wanted them deported back to Providence)...Brown will need to find some offense somewhere to compete in 2019....51 on ...
