At the start of the game I was thinking to myself he's actually made the effort to learn the game and people involved, so I wanna give him the chance, he's just incredibly grating to listen too.
the whistle was pre-shot and was a moving pick (allowed shooter vardaro to be free)jrn19 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 4:34 pmAt the start of the game I was thinking to myself he's actually made the effort to learn the game and people involved, so I wanna give him the chance, he's just incredibly grating to listen too.
And then that entire 4th quarter happened. Nope. He's just bad.
be interesting to follow this year. they're now into the meat of a tough schedule, tighter more intense games probably.keno in reno wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 4:07 pm looks like video review is bad for Kavanagh-style grit
Disagree. I like Cotter's play by play and he has learned the game. I find his brand of self deprecating humor entertaining. I consume a fair amount of lacrosse online and there are many, many worse. That play you refered to, I saw that and knew they had 2-3 seconds to recross, but that's a fairly esoteric play.
I prefer him in the booth. Quinn and Carc together can give me lax bro overload.Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 1:43 pmDisagree. I like Cotter's play by play and he has learned the game.

A guy calling an OSU game this year thought the attacking team was whistled for not getting it in the box on time, which rule no longer exists, of course, and when the ref clearly signaled offsides.
Cotter called Quint K a leprechaun during the Georgetown-ND game. That makes up for any minor screw ups on the rules in my book.Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 1:43 pmDisagree.

I am not sure how you can arguing against that.10 10 2 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 2:18 pmCotter called Quint K a leprechaun during the Georgetown-ND game.

Did not intend to be Cotter's defender when I logged on today, but Cotter does not bring that up. Quint/Carc or Anish do to bust his balls. idk, he likes to lift weights, some guys run, crossfit, play golf or tennis, sail, ski, etc. To each his own I guess.
Ok got it. Agree.molo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 9:49 pm Interestingly enough, Q, in a podcast with Harvard coach Byrne, agreed with the former ND defense coach that teams are spending too much time on weight training and not enough on other types of physical training snd stick skills. Q has, at least from my perspective, been in the forefront of discussions about weightlifting and nutrition for lax players. My comment about Cotter was not meant as a knock on him but as a refluid how the three of them—Q, Carc, and Cotter—tend to get away from the game and onto irrelevant personal tangents. I don’t mind the tangents as long as I know who is on the second midfield, how the rotation of dms is going, who is taking face-off wings, you know, the kind of things any knowledgeable fan notices watching a game that are not always readily discernible on tv or streaming.
to each his own. he presumably gets compensated pretty well by the mothership versus many others and is pretty ubiquitous. so i may drag him a bit if he misses the calls on lots of stuff happening throughout the course of a game. and he does.Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 1:43 pmDisagree.

Did it sound like a hockey pbp guy? It seems like a decent amount of schools w/big time hockey get the hockey guy to do lax. So you hear references like "break out," "centered," "short handed" etc. Army, OSU, RIT come to mind.
Ha, no! As I posted on Cornell thread last week, the guy must not understand the game due to the amount of dead air there was. When he did speak up it was Denver goal celebration more than anything else. Instead of play by play, he was more like yay by yay. Certainly no hockey references nor any other references for that matter. Horrible. Tierney tried to help but there was little to no explanation of all the penalty controversy happening in game.Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 9:23 amDid it sound like a hockey pbp guy?
