Re: NCAC 2025

That was major mistake dropping out. Great exposure for both recruiting and alumni fund-raising. I suspect once you drop out, you can't just get back in when it suits you. Every step Denison has made has been intentional to deemphasize the "toxic" mens lacrosse team. Everything has come f...

Re: Predict Next DIII Programs To Win Their FIRST National Title

CNU seems like a no-brainer choice. But the landscape is changing fast with the Midwest becoming more competitive. My feeling is a team will rise up outside of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. A school like Colorado College or Illinois Wesleyan have to be primed to pass a Denison? Not sure they’ll w...

Re: NCAC 2024

It looks like the job posting for OC is down, any guesses? Coach C can also claim Torpey as part of his coaching tree. One and done, he was part of a Big Red quarterfinal run, while playing in the nll. Can BR pull, and develop, a recent grad in the professional ranks with that level of talent and p...

Re: NCAC 2024

Lets leave the bottom of the barrel, NESCAC groupies out of it.. time to get back to business. Anyone want to take a stab at "way to early" NCAC expectations this coming season? Kenyon obviously on the rise, is OWU declining (although they have a talented young team), Denison is likely the...

Re: NCAC 2024

. Come to Bates, you won’t regret it. Denison takes it over Bates 10/10 times both campus and town. The lacrosse program has a dedicated state of the art lacrosse stadium facility *Lacrosse and Soccer stadium* You decide- Bates https://i.pinimg.com/736x/28/d4/54/28d454c1f2ef8c0158118e498c384f1c.jpg...

Re: NCAC 2024

Granville is 10x nicer than Lewiston, ME, and Denison is a lot better than Bates. If Sal was offered the job and turned it down the situation at Denison doesn't look good. Bates is in a huge rebuild. I know they are emphasizing lacrosse and rebuilding the program. The lure of NESCAC is real. Town v...

Re: NCAC 2024

I have a Dennison question. They have a remarkable winning tradition. But when were they last good outside of the Midwest other than 1 win vs Lynchburg in 2016? They have a solid history of making the NCAA tournament. You surely cant be serious but I’ll entertain this since im here sitting at work ...

Re: NCAC 2024

If this is true it is really sad to see that Koch struggles to get high level coaches to support him. I bet TJ Toivonen is a great guy and probably a good coach but it makes absolutely zero sense to go out and hire the D coordinator of a team you hung 22 goals on the season before. It would be like...

Re: NCAC 2024

In what will be my last post of the season, here are my thoughts following the Babson game: 1) Obviously a disappointing year as we fell out of the top 20 for the first time in idk how long – that can never happen, as Denison should be a top 15 program nationally week in, week out. Koch as a head co...

Re: NESCAC

False (as usual). If only every Region I team could have just played Christopher Newport (#2 in Region 3) this year, it would have been win after win. Or Swarthmore (#3 in Region 3), or Gettysburg (#5 Region 3). Bottom line Region 1 team are 5-1 against Region 3. Babson or Endicott would have had l...

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024

In years past, Gulls have torn through their side of the bracket and encountered a worthy program in the final. But even in dominant years they've gotten some great tests before that. Noke, Denison, plenty of others have shown out and made them really earn a title berth. They aren't undefeated in N...

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024

so much about this post that i don’t understand. first off, salisbury appears to be the top team. they are undefeated, and should be the favorite. but. they have had a soft schedule compared to others. not sure if that means anything. salisbury has played two top 10 teams (3 games). compare that to...

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024

One year ago, Babson took out Williams in the second round at Tiger Stadium. New opponent but same bus trip, same hotel, same field, same expected result. Babson 16-10. Love this take. Given how many NE players choose Denison - maybe this outcome will also have recruiting implications. Predictions ...

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024

Ridiculous? I think its pretty funny. A couple of Tuft alumni from the Daly era actually brought that up to me last week when discussing the D3 tournament and Tufts odds. I think Tufts is an amazing program I just think the personal social media is a little much. Focus on bringing the trophy back t...

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024

Sorry, but CNU was seven and one. I am not going to tell you what years that my kids played, but that is fact. And CNU is eight and two in the last 10 times they have played them. Before CNU starts talking about dominating teams, let’s highlight how Salisbury is 10-1 against CNU since 2021. Straigh...

Re: NCAC 2024

Good to see a little back and forth about Denison! Recently I feel like I’ve been “talking to myself”. I think twohands makes some valid points. Particularly about the Koch versions of the Big Red are not you up to the same standards we came to enjoy/expect from Coach Caravana. Especially the 2015 ...

Alright, F’ it. We’re going full on DIII bracketology predictions ahead of this weekend’s madness – let me know your thoughts: - Salisbury STOMPS Saint Joes – this one isn’t even close as the Gulls are this years team to beat across the board - Swarthmore v. Endicott is a close one but Swat pulls it...
