Great weekend for the start of Ivy league play -- two high-scoring classics (Harvard-Yale and Cornell-Princeton) and a competitive battle between Brown and Penn. Three teams emerge with the win (Yale, Cornell, and Penn), but the teams starting out at 0-1 showed plenty. Both Harvard and Princeton mo...

Wow!

What a game and what a finish. Outstanding performance today. And the emergence of Goldstein is just huge.

He actually said "Cornell has one of the best fanbases if not one of the best fanbases." LOL! In his defense, that's not exactly what he said. He said: "Cornell has one of the best fanbases and if not one of the best fanbases then the best fanbase..." Awkward and wordy (and a bi...

What's going on in today's lacrosse landscape with regard to alcoholism, addiction, treatment, recovery? Do schools report on this in athletic departments? Athletes aren't immune to substance abuse and addiction. It has to be happening. What about post graduation? I would be interested to see some ...

I think you’re in the wrong thread.

Maybe he's purposefully trying to take our minds off of the Cornell debacle.

...but what else can you say? Cornell is not this bad. Agreed. I can't remember a time I've seen a Cornell team look this bad. During an extended stretch in the 3rd, it was one unforced turnover after another. Literally missing their targets on passes and throwing the ball out of bounds. I think it...

Is there any way to listen to the game? I'm not seeing anything on the Penn State website.

My new top 20, March 3rd. 1. Denver 2. Army 3. Johns Hopkins 4. Notre Dame 5. Maryland ... Denver only renting that top spot, even though they deserve it at this time. If they’re still undefeated by March 24, watch Duke take them apart that day. It's been a whack season so far. I have a hard time s...

Not so fast...

Where else but in the Ivy League thread...

Absolutely.... Good showing for the Liberty League for sure. Also, I know we are talking about wins over the AQ teams but Skidmore beating Bates today is great as well. Always good when a Liberty beats a NESCAC. LOL When RPI is still the committee's #1 tool come selection Sunday, any out of confere...

What's the pro tip on why it's not so easy? Once the media and coaches polls are out, it's not very hard to predict where teams would jump or fall. If you're gonna start a topic with your own poll, you should be able to accept criticism about the poll. There's been no personal attacks or anything b...

It has always appeared that some programs get the benefit of a "good loss" and some programs do not. Ranking Cornell at #11 after beating unranked Lehigh by four (17-13), and losing a "close one" ranked Denver would have to based on a "good loss" to Denver. Ranking Pri...

Excellent opening win for Ithaca over St. John Fisher, outscoring them 3-0 over the final frame to grab a 2-goal win. These are the types of games of games Ithaca has been losing all too often over the past few years: play a good team close through 3 quarters, get blown out in the 4th. Hopefully thi...

And 2-men down for a decent-sized portion of that.

I am so glad I didn't buy this.

Is Cascadden injured? He hasn’t seen the field since the second face off. Or was that Petrakis taking the first two? Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Jack tore his left ACL in Thursday practice. Freak injury. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just plant, cut, boom. As you can imagine he’s gutted by...

Almost as good as when the other guy exclaimed: "And somehow Denver has managed to claw their way back to a tie game."

Somehow? Gee, wonder how that might have happened?

Very frustrating to listen to.

From the time the score was 14-10, the refs seem to have taken over this game.

Bill Tierney is the color man, which really, he has tended to do a solid job there,
