Its a legit jab. The Ivy's got ranked high in the preseason polls and kept their positions because they played a weak OOC schedule. only good wins were Princeton beating gtown and rutgers and Penn beating a not so good duke team. Meanwhile there have been some bad loses. Brown losing to Umass, Yale ...

Nice early wins by the BE over hopkins and penn state. last chance for Big Ten to win a meaningful against against the BE is Denver vs Ohio State.

Scrimmage between Gtown, MD and Del @ Maryland has been moved to Friday due to storm over the weekend.
Gtown vs Maryland @ 11am
Gtown vs Delaware @ 12;15ish

I am hearing OOC will include, Hop, ND, Princeton, Utah, Lehigh, MSM. Nice upgrade.

Re-watched the GT vs Cuse game, for me I lost respect for Desko after #16 mouthed off to the ref which put them down 2 men in the 4th and essentially iced the game for Gtown. And then Desko put him back in the game only for #16 gets to cheap shot a guy from behind for another penalty and he is a Cap...

I think Danowski has taken many kids throughout the years (now doing more grad transfers ) who can pay full tuition and never really get on the field and just helps the overall $$$ budget coming from lax program. Helps the kid as he is getting a Duke degree, win/win.

How did Phil Goss play in 2021, that was his 5th year and Ivies didnt grant a 5th year for COVID?

Good to see the game between Nova and Lehigh is still on. I would think an important game for Nova as a win against Lehigh and beating Denver on 4/28, could lead to an at large bid and not have to win the BE tourney.

I watched the ending of the game UMass/Hofstra, very entertaining game. The problem that the CAA has, its 2 top teams (Del and Hofstra) had really bad losses. Del to MSM and Hofstra lost to St Johns. Both the Mount and St Johns are in last place in their conferences and are a combined 3-12.

Any word out there about the make up games that were postponed due to Covid issue, Marq/St Johns (2 games) , and Nova/Denver. The games are important for BE tourney ranking and could really help out Nova if they beat Denver this week and/if when the make up the postponed game @ Nova.

anyone else notice Gray being a little chippy out there, first, a high shot to the head for a penalty, then moments later an interference call but seemed to deliberately step on the HP players neck/back when he fell. Don't mind tough/ aggressive play but....

Tierney finds additional eligibility loopholes and will bring in Spencer, Ament and Goodrich as well.

I view TD's move as taking a non traditional / outside the box "jr abroad program" where you earn credits towards your graduation. Just didn't think you could play D1 sports. Alot of kids do take a semester as US schools. I know the Ivies and NESCAC have programs where you to take classes ...

DU Fan, thanks for a good chuckle, please send me what you are taking.

"but he could technically still take remote classes at Yale from anywhere in the world. He would also have to take classes at Denver towards a graduate degree at the same time".

a long time in the making, looks great....

You are correct, not sure of the real reason but yes closer to home, but could also be that Dartmouth is regarded as a better academic school, a great campus, and a lax program that is on the upswing...all good possibilities.

The ship was certainly sinking under Petro and early recruiting was a big factor. But you knew something was going wrong when last fall one of his top D recruits flipped to Dartmouth. Nothing against Dartmouth but says more about what was happening at Hopkins. In hindsight smart move....

Yes, great interview. Also some good takeaways for those looking to get recruited and expectations from the coaching staff for the freshman once they arrive on campus.

any news yet on Connor McCarthy yet, I heard it was between PSU and Gtown.

Any news/rumors out there on the Hoya transfer front. So far I have only heard 1 senior returning for a grad year (Jake Carraway) so I would imagine there are roster spots still avail.

I see Brown is eliminating 11 sports in order to make the other sports more "championship viable". Feel bad for those who play the cut sports.
