I've seen only one speculative mention of a candidate to be their new DC and it was Corrigan, fils.

Break that list down (expand it to all frosh) and you will see that few top tier teams gave numerous frosh substantial playing time. Outside the breakout stars , most saw limited play if at all. Not like top 15 were trotting out many youngsters when players introduced. Dont find fewer number of JHU...

How does UMass and BYU do it? Or Sunbelt teams do it? They play a ton of "buy" games to supplement their revenue. As I said, there is little difference overall between running a DIA program and DIAA football program. It is why lots of teams have made the jump over the last decade. Scholar...

Harvard's program is gaining a lot with this hire. Despite that, the loss for ND's program is much greater. I think there could be adverse effects on their culture from this.

So what made them get religion? Probably many things, but I’m sure Yale’s recent success caught Harvard’s attention. As I have noted more than once, Harvard built a top-25-caliber engineering program in less than 10 years after decades of mediocrity. Once Harvard gets serious about something, they ...

There are folks far more knowledgeable about FOs than I am who say the easiest way to stop the domination by folks like Ierlan and Baptiste is to ban the moto grip. They'll probably still win more FOs than most everyone else, but their pct won't be as astronomical as it is now.

The posts were speculation, primarily driven by field usage. Columbia hosted the Ivy tournament even though it doesn't have a men's team and Fairfield hosted the NCAA playoffs at Rentschler Field which UConn rents from the state for football. There is nothing further that has emerged so far. Both sc...

The ONLY rule change worth making (I am on the record as being a curmudgeon*) is the sticks. Fix the sticks and every single thing we ALL complain about goes away.... This is absolutely true. Do you think that, if the NCAA/NFHS/USL made offset and pinched sidewalls illegal, we would see legal chall...

Is the successful bid for NCAA lax quarters and '21 finals indicative of anything? Is the stadium independent of the school/state? I was at the quarters, I think Fairfield was the host. Either the stadium has no connection to UConn WRT ownership, or Fairfield, as host, is renting the stadium from U...

My suggestions: 1. You only get 60 seconds on a shot clock reset. Starting this year in basketball, you will only get 20 seconds on the reset (the international rule) after an offensive rebound. 2. As someone said in another thread, eliminate the moto grip and you eliminate totally dominant FOGOs. P...

On the UVa regular message board it was noted that Harvard began interviews this week.

They opted to put UVa on it instead. Welcome to Annapolis, Coach Amplo.

How's that coaching change working out for you?

“It’s within acceptable parameters.”

I think Thompson gets the first bite @ the Harvard apple. But if he passes I’d be worried about Kirwan. He was close to getting poached by Harvard for a 1st assistant position in 2016. A Tweet posted on the Syracusefan board yesterday said the candidates for the Harvard job (in no particular order)...

Raising a point that goes with the second line of my sig. With the recent massive influx of Bloomberg money targeted for financial aid to students added to the fact that JHU is D-3 in everything else, could the M&W lacrosse programs also adopt the the Ivy/D-3 model for financial aid? Wouldn't th...

Anyone know the deal with Coach Kirwan? Is he looking to stick around another couple of years at UVA as OC, or is he ready to make a move to HC? Harvard position is open, and his name has been mentioned as a candidate. Stands to reason that at some point he'd want to be HC somewhere. No one seems t...

Yup.

Hope Lars brought some smelling salts for his boys, sure needs something to wake them up and get 'em moving a little bit. Better bring a whole lot more energy to the field than they did in the first half or it's going to be a long afternoon for them. Far from the most exciting semi finals lacrosse ...

And Ralph got to push the button!

And Ralph's first collegiate game was against {trumpet fanfare} JHU.
