Looks like a toenail on the blue.

F&M takes down Tufts in OT, in a game Tufts led the whole way until Dips scored with .15 left in regulation.

Semifinals:

Middlebury v. F&M

Salisbury v. William Smith

Should be a nice weekend of lacrosse.

Middlebury up 10-1 with 11:00 to go in the second quarter. Women against girls. Just not on the same planet.

Not sure about that. But he’s a man, so I don’t think he qualifies for the women’s AA honors. Had a nice game against Duke today.

Went the club offense. Dodge, stand around and watch, pass, Dodge, stand around and watch, repeat

Seems like a coaching deficit here, particularly with Duke on offense; no adjustments from Duke this whole half that I can see.

Well I was wrong about Ithaca-PPC. Pomona Pitzer controlling Ithaca; 15-7 with 5:25 to go. I don't see PPC giving Middlebury a scare. Middlebury's speed and discipline at both ends is just at another level.

Colby up 7-5 over Wes with about 3:30 to go in the game.

Colby wins, defeats the No.2 team in the country at that team's home surface.

Middlebury cruises and will likely play Ithaca tomorrow afternoon.

"Dems like me" are not 100% happy with Biden, and don't pretend to be. But it is a reality that one candidate and one party are still interested in democracy, an unfettered right to vote, the rule of law and other outdated stuff like that. The GOP has rejected democracy; this is the lesson...

You see this reality most plainly in the daily Republican theatrics surrounding Trump’s criminal indictments. Rather than wrestle seriously with the profoundly troubling claims against him, they treat the criminal cases as proof of Democratic perfidy. They believe every claim against Hunter and Joe...

A little drama added to final day of EPL GK Emerson out for final game against West Ham and FA Cup final with eye socket fracture from game against Tottenham. It may not make a difference, but still, you don’t want to see your GK out with title on the line. https://www.theguardian.com/football/arti...
