Disagree vehemently!! Hop and Navy threads always a must read. Knowledgeable, Nasty, & Unfiltered posts.Just don’t post there if you don’t really know what you are talking about!!

I’ve watched parts or all of Dartmouth OOC games. I listed early major concerns vs IVY level D’s and rides. I still have those concerns. Does anyone think they can win more than 1 IVY game? They play hard and have some decent athletes. I think they will upset somebody, but I don’t see them winning 2...

If JHU holds on and beats U VA that would be 5 straight Out of Conference losses for ACC…..when ? Has that ever happened? Anybody know? I can’t remember 4/in a row.

Nice first win. Great start to game. Problems vs Ivy League level opponents I foresee are to many one handed middies, who can be scouted and stopped by over playing strong hand with good athletes. SSDM’s need to improve greatly, and D still not sliding as a unit. To much time between first slide and...

I have actually watched Bucknell’s first two games. They have good O talent. GK’s have both been shaky. Bison traditionally play a lot of different D slide packages and utilize a 10 man ride a lot. This group on D is big but has appeared a step slow in their first two games. I don’t know if that is ...

Not only didn’t the talking heads no PSU were in Zone the kept saying Princeton was intentionally going deep into the shot clock….They are typical announcers….the ACC and Big are great and everyone else we don’t need to pay attention to….Sucks Ivies played 3 really good exciting games and went 0-3..

Just MAYBE the taking heads will realize there are teams not in BIG and ACC, who can play!,, Silly me, of course they won’t!!

Forgot to put pix in. But will try from here….final 8. Mich. Duke. Pron ND Gtown. Army. JHU UVA…..GT Duke Prton ND…
GT-Duke……Duke

AMEN!!

Very disappointed that Dartmouth was not prepared for UNC 10 man ride and all out pressure vs GK and D trying to clear…simply could not get ball out of their end and their spacing was atrocious. The few times they passed midfield, For entire 1 st quarter one move and slip and fall, or bad pass. ( Wa...

The ACC had the advantage of nicer weather and making everyone come to them. They would go 18-2 stack the early wins and have a huge RPI advantage the entire year….Then with the media cheerleaders saying things like Quints “ Yale has almost ACC type athletes” when they had caught up 2-3 years prior ...

No Ivy W… but a lot of Progress

And yes Coach Ritch from SHS was our O coordinator!

Memory lane by the Enemy …I played FB and lax @ DC. My freshman year was ‘79 when we beat CU in Hanover to break their Ivy League win streak…how many years??? I really thought Coach Moran was going to have a medical issue in that game His face was bright red and he pulled a D man off the field by hi...

Just watching the first 8 mins of Dartmouth/Yale game…..Wow …they may get worn down and lose by a lot, but what an obvious difference in confidence and being in the right spots on D and O….I hope those kids get an Ivy W, and think they have a very good chance…

A reminder for all of US old folks, that clearing is a much different animal now, then when we played. 20 seconds only, to get ball across the midline and in general the opponents attack men are much more athletic. Very little time to read the ride and get to open space, and a much greater reliance ...

Loyola made great adjustments to the one sided Bucknell clear and dominated GB’s after midway through the 3rd when they were down 8-5. That allowed them to dominate the ball from then on out. I thought Bucknell’s length on D would give Loyola problems. Loyola scored 3 of their first 5 goals on step ...

I fear someone is going to have a painful experience learning the difference between high end D1 men’s lax and HS. I think tomorrow will be a great game. Like the Bison by 2-3…great PL win tonight for the Mids!! 2 straight PL wins vs BIG

Really happy Dartmouth getting some W’s. I fear they won’t be able to win an Ivy game if they don’t clear at a much higher level. Their stick work will only improve so much during the season, but they can space the field and break out much better. Maybe?… they can surprise Harvard or possibly Brown ...

One of the worst Timeouts every called!!! Ball cleared up by 1…1:08 left…clock running ….attack has it under no pressure..Loyola still subbing O players off and JHU calls timeout….Loyola of course doubles the ball with 2 poles instant turnover and Hounds have the ball after timeout in JHU end with 4...
