I know this is an obvious point, but reviving the D1 mens lacrosse program at BC would be a tremendous - tremendous - addition to the sport. Sixth ACC school. Right in a hotbed. Would match the excellent women's program. Ready made fanbase given the demographics of the school. It would just perfect ...

That wasn't a work of art, but it sure was a fun watch.

Some top performances in the Ivy League this week: Offense: Cam Rubin, Penn: (6,0) 6 points Matt Brandau, Yale: (4,2) 6 points Carson Kuhl, Yale: (2,3) 5 points CJ Kirst, Cornell: (4,0) 4 points Connor Mackesy, Princeton: (4,0) 4 points Aiden McLane, Brown: (4,0) 4 points Colin Burns, Princeton: (2...

Exactly. You have either the best coach in college lacrosse or the second best coach in college lacrosse (I think Tillman vs. Tiffany is an open question). And I don't see a close third. So you'll be fine.

An astute observation '16 - leads to some interesting stats - it certainly was obvious last year but globally there's no difference. These clearly aren't perfect stats but mildly interesting In 2023 - Hokins is credited with winning 244 face-offs - Hopkins 3 face off men were credited with 133 grou...

Short week for PSU. Up by five goals. Deflating loss. Been there, done that. I'd rather play them after a win. After a brutal loss they'll be extra motivated. Had they won maybe they'd be feeling themselves a little too much. Will be a tough one either way. At Homewood. I'd guess the line is Jays -...

Well Penn and Princeton split with Duke/UNC, Harvard had UVA on the ropes until the very end. Even cellar dweller Brown took Maryland to OT. Yale also played (and beat Denver). I think the ACC is the best conference, but there have been plenty of Ivy matchups with the ACC/B1G and they've faired wel...

None of that discredits my statement. He is very smart about his scheduling. Tends to avoid high profile teams. The idea that it is Duke and Carolina avoiding Yale is just nonsensical. Both routinely schedule Ivy teams. Calling Denver #1 is an obvious attempt to obscure and manipulate the facts. I ...

He was terrible today.. it happens. Goalies and faceoff guys, nobody understands them Little surprised Angelus shot there. 25 seconds > goal in that situation Don’t care which team, I just hate watching a goalie have a tough game. Also feel bad for the kids family. It’s rough being a goalie parent.

Those 2 plays back to back show the difference in goalie play. That was a terrible goal to let in

The last two as well. The TO on the ride and tipping the desperation shot? Awful sequence for Michigan goalie. That’s just rough.

It’s just so nice to get good goalie play.

That call on Kilrain was nonsense. They never call guys who blow up picks. And they’ve been letting them play all day. Letting Hopkins play all game Letting both sides play. And that call was soft. No worse than the push call on Beohm The key to making sure the ref notices the push is how you sell ...

Did we get a bad batch of shafts from STX?

True. Ierlan has been very good. FOs are turning a bit too.

Not winning a lot of GBs either. All the FO scrums are going Michigans way even when Callahan does fine on the initial clamp/rake.

IL's midseason AA list has: Smith 2nd team Collison 3rd team Martin 3rd team Angelus HM Aviles HM What do you guys think of that? It's fine. Angelus should be higher, but he's been disrespected all year. I'm surprised he even made HM to be honest. Brett Martin was 2nd team preseason and is now at 3...
