I thought this forum would appreciate the new award given out at my son's high lacrosse team's season banquet last night: The Mario St. George Boiardi Award. I think it's cool that a random school in Colorado has this connection to Cornell lacrosse. (I help the team with stats, but I am not involve...

When it comes to statistics, Cornell played a really strong game against Penn. Ground Balls, Shots, CTO's all were dominated by Cornell. Penn had a small advantage of two face-offs. The difference was goalie play. Wyatt Knust had a quite respectable day with 11 saves and 48% saves versus shots face...

If Cornell is top seed and hosting, why are they playing in the 2nd game on Friday? They are the main act. Yale Princeton is the opening act. That is the way it almost always goes. Do you think the talk around championship weekend and the early game winner having an advantage is overblown? I am jus...

OK I'll concede that it isn't "private" that Ben doesn't know why he was relieved of duty. Does that tell you why he was relieved of duty? LOL! Well, color me skeptical. Ben was fired mid-contract. I simply don't believe he didn't know why he was fired. Based on experiences at Harvard, my...

Hey Lager, give the pretentious moralizing a rest, why doncha? This is a forum for expressing opinions, even ones you don't like. And: VRR said the Green have "virtually no chance", not "no chance". You said the Green are "much more likely than not" to lose. That sound...

Speaking of broadcasters, I'm beyond sick of Booker Corrigan continually plugging events run by Corrigan Sports every 5 minutes, no matter how irrelevant they are to what's happening in the game he's calling. Absolutely shameless and gross, but he seems to get a pass from everyone. And yet we have ...

Does the ACC still play lacrosse? Kidding, sort of. Once Cornell settled in, cuse was no match for Cornell. ND? Meh. I was expecting more from #1. Felt like they took advantage of Cornell's shortie injury situation, outside of that...good team, nothing special. Goldstein over all these others. Hes ...

Too much discussion on what fans from another generation would argue over - "who is better Mantle or Mays." I'd prefer to focus on the next two Ivy games. Why?: The Big 10 will get 3 NCAA bids (1 AQ and 2 at larges) - MD, PSU, and Hopkins -The ACC will get 4 bids (1 AQ and 3 at larges) - ...

Goldstein should have made that pass to the wide open man. I’ll take the 98% great playing #30 has brought to the big red offense for an occasional missed passing oppty - kid is non stop hustle / rides hard / for frosh - amazingly strong lax IQ -(admittedly had some strong lax influence with dad an...

But not a team in the country who wouldn’t want them on their rosters!

Stating the obvious - NIL has forever changed the fabric of college athletics - followed closely by Transfer portal and the seemingly endless college eligibility brought on by COVID. That being said - many top football and hoops men’s players have been paid “quietly” below the radar for decades. It...

Oh - and for what it’s worth / the defender flopped - but flopped to perfection!

This is Women’s College Lacrosse - no one’s splitting any atoms or curing cancer out there……yet! Gotta admit - I like the Northwestern squads chances of doing just that down the road!

I've been meaning to post this since I noticed it way back in February. NU senior defender Kendall Halpern just masterful in drawing/ contriving the charge/foul on SU's Adamson. A defender's studied and practiced art. I like that its success fires her up--the stick slam clear evidence. I'm sure it ...

Checking in on kids and giving them space to rest is key! Always amazed on how many well educated and well meaning parents seem to overlook this important aspect- fearing if their child doesn’t participate in every off season club team / workout / special this / special that they will somehow fall ...

To all on this important thread - Mental illness, Anxiety, panic, isolation etc. are all VERY VERY VERY real parts of many high performing high school and especially Collegiate student athletes. There are endless stories of self harm and suicide at the HS & College level. Many stories are quickl...

Interesting behavior on the Army bench. So much for "close-order" discipline. They appear to be another bunch of lax bruhs. Nothing wrong with that, per se, but let's take them down off the public encomium pedestal, huh? Want respect for service to your country? Earn it. Chorus line dance...

Explosive Third Quarter made it a moot point!
