Yes sir, pretty tough weather conditions here in the Cuse too. Temp plummeting, has dropped from the 50s to mid 20s in a matter of hours, heading to the teens. Blustering winds of 25 mph, gusts up to 50.
Oh wait, perfect conditions in the Dome for the gals....gotta love that Dome for February lacrosse.
Go Cuse!!

Don't know, sure was a lot to be pleased with with Cuse, have no idea what caliber team the Mush Dogs are though. Was some nice ball movement by Cuse, some real good looking Freshmen (they're not Freshgirls, right?), nice play in the goal and on the draw. Would think the Godfather saw some things he liked all in all.
Not to belabor the point, but the rule changes (clock and 6 on the draw) has really improved wlax, really is a pretty game to watch.

Ah shoot...have to go and watch daughter's all-day tournament in the frickin cold :x ....would much rather watch the Navy/UVA game or even on the Men's side, the Loyola/UVA game....

I am curious to see the Collins-less midshipmen. Cindy rarely took her starters out last year (IMO) and so, we dont know what they had behind Jenna/Julia....My guess is they wont miss a beat and we will see Larkin/O'Sullivan take over....

I thought Navy looked like a work in progress, and it is weird watching them with the 22/44 duo out there.

UNC making a bit of a statement with a running clock....

Just got home from the North Pole....watched the UVA/Navy replay....while I think Cindy will figure it out, they did not look good after their initial 10 minute + run.....We will have to see if UVA is that good or if Navy has dropped

Last year it was immediately obvious that Syracuse was in trouble because they couldn't get a draw. Much improved, but consider the opponent. However, they didn't have their best draw specialist for this game. Also, Syracuse played a ton of freshmen and started several which is good because they seriously needed an infusion of speed.

Watched the UNC JMU game. UNC dominated every facet of the game. JMU could not get DC and when they did the attack was not effective. They don't have the 1v1 dodge to goal talent that UNC does. Everyone will be wanting some payback against JMU this season.

Once again there's a lot to like with the Cuse wlaxers, 15-5 over Binghamton. These girls play together nicely, unselfishly, aggressively, and they look like they're having a lot of fun doing it. Lot of good sticks on this team, really nice passing and creativity. If I'm a young, talented wlaxer, I want to play for Gary. He lets his girls play with no inhibitions, let's 'em be innovative and bold with their style. I still think it has to be a huge advantage to be able to just play catch with Gary. Just watching his stick and creativity has got to rub off and you can actually see it from a lot those girls playing for him. Very aggressive looking team all over the field.

Ashlyn Hyron, the little Aussie lass, could broadcast every wlax game and I'd be good with that. Knows her business and is fun to listen to. Gotta love the little twist she brings...Syracuse are really pressing out on defense. Of course, we'd say is pressing out. Girl stepped over into the crease...we'd say girl stepped into the crease.

Hope those Binghamton folks have a safe trip back, not a nice night out there on the roads.

I'll take a crack at this, just so my friend doesn't feel ignored.

1) UNC - You beat the Queen, you are the Queen. Coasts to a showdown at the Plywood Palace on 2/24.
2) UMD - Coach Cathy ain't afraid to schedule games, next two will reveal all.
3) BC - Get my love if they crush the Orange.
4) UF - As expected this week, huge home game vs. the Twerps 2/14.
5) JMU - Got handled this week, schedule does not bode well for future rankings.
6) PSU - Bullish on the Lions, not a great schedule but we'll see how others around them do.
7) SBU - Late starting Sea Wolfs or whatever they are get place holder based on last years body of work.
8) NU (not NWU) - Put up lots of points vs. the Cards, looking OK for the near future.
9) V. Tech - Big D in week one, we'll see how they fare vs. the Dukes.
10) Towson - Licks wounds while prepping for SBU in early March.

Not quite the same as the 25-30 word commentaries that accompanied the old selections, but I may have offended enough people to generate some action. :evil:

Thanks fanofall.

I think BC will flatten Syracuse. Syracuse is fun to watch but still too undisciplined, and the defense is a serious work in progress, notwithstanding the trouncing of weaker opponents.

I think BC is better than Maryland until something else gives. They beat Maryland when it counted last year, and although Maryland added a special player in Evans, I think BC still gets the poll benefit of the doubt.

I don't think JMU is a top five team.

Just haven't seen enough to go down the rest of the list.

Someone needs to find BRM.

JMU-VT is on right now, started at 4. VT up 2-1 six minutes in.
Check your ESPN channels. Those in the know need to start posting
game day threads so the rest of us idiots know the games are being
played...just stumbled across this one...oops 3-1 VT now.
Duke-PC is on right now too.
