LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Man. The last few posts have cited Monty Python, Ricky Ricardo and Rodney Dangerfield. People, I think we may be aging ourselves at this point. I cant argue the DA > Loomis logic. If you actually look at common opponents, DA had bigger margins in all but 2 games (I was kind of surprised by the sque...

Interesting also that for a smaller guy, even the biggest, fastest, and strongest poles had trouble with him physically. That speed, stick, body leveraging, and lightning quick change of direction provided nightmares and fits for the best defensemen of the day. Great on the ride, too. It shouldn't b...

Salisbury can go under .500 if they lose to Deerfield. I can't remember the last time that's happened. Just checked in on the game and Deerfield is up by 8 in the 4th. No color. A bit of color for what it's worth. Was able to stop by the Pocumtuck valley for the first time in too long and take in t...

For the non-Founders playoff, who's in contention? I assume Brunswick, Lawrenceville, Salisbury, DA? Who did I miss? Is it a final four or just the top two teams squaring off? Seems like the Prep Nationals sort of lost some fizz when Founder's broke off to do their own championship? Hoping to make a...

Always Be Closing

One of my favorite films. I also saw the play. It was great.

A lesser known parody classic:

Yale/Cornell game moved to 2 because of weather Tks!👍🏻 Dartmouth hosting Penn in Hanover at noon NOT being moved....because of the weather! :lol: Dartmouth lady laxers are smarter than the men...as they bumped their game to Sunday (see sunny and toasty forecast below).

I'm sure Kirwan will iron out a lot of kinks in practice this week in preparation for the home opener vs Holy Cross next Sat. Good post-game review above, and from the Dartmouth Sports website game summary a Coach Kirwan quote: "The positive in this setback is that a lot of our mistakes were s...

I wasn't suggesting anything untoward from Mr. Tsai. Tallying up his Yale and Lawrenceville support as an alum, I almost wish he had gone to Dartmouth and Deerfield. Giving away big amounts of green to schools with green uniforms makes way more sense!

My goodness, could it be here already? Me in the fraternity TV room as ESPN goes live at noon:

Go Big Green!

Fun to parse the preseason prognostications. The last few years have gotten strange to see DA ebbing and flowing near the bottom of the top 5 NEW programs. So much talent to spread around these days. The pool is deep, and the big fish recruits have lots of options. DA used to enjoy a lions share of ...

Been a while since a thread focused directly on this particular 800 pound elephant in the room was tossed around. It applies to all divisions and genders here on Fanlax, including High School, but my full blown manifestation occurred playing D1 men's lax so my post is here. The recent hazing topic t...

Woah, I leave you fine folks alone for a few days and the Lone Pine gets hit by lightning. Oh, wait, that was in 1887. Well, this thread got hit by something. :lol: ;) Probably best to leave Dartmouth football alone, as it has racked up the most modern era (1956-present) Ivy championships (18) than ...

Anybody got the cliff notes from last night's Friend's of Dartmouth Lacrosse Zoom call with new Coach Kirwan? Not asking for the Top Secret Double Probation inside information that will be bringing us an undefeated national championship season in 2024...just a sense of what anyone who could attend ...

Yeah, it's a bit bizarre. I have no idea how players were nominated/selected. Perhaps the coaching transition at Taft played into an absence of Rhinos. I'd love to see the East/West game come back, especially now that the East would be less of a punching bag than back in my day. Prompted me to look...

Indeed. Full respect to what CG is doing. It's the unforced stuff from Victor that seems atypical. Dropped passes, looking toward goal before catching the feed, and a few pipes early when they seemed more in a groove. Tough hole to dig out of. 9-6 GC with 7:30 to go.

Victor looking out of sorts. End of 3rd quarter and GC leads 8-4.

The big dog ate. Saw the Bees play at F-M late regular season and wondered about a few things. They certainly tightened the ship, and the thumb screws. Upstate 1-0 in the belly of the island beast. We'll take it!

Thanks for that info. All sounding good. And with a divinity background, perhaps he can summon up some divine intervention for Big Green lax! The Orozco murals would be a great start...
