Johns Hopkins 2022

Tinney pulled off another hidden ball trick in Canada's game against UVA. Was basically the same as the one vs. Navy in 2017: https://twitter.com/Inside_Lacrosse/sta ... 5402540042

The man the myth the legend himself Cornell Willis livestreamed a portion of the intrasquad scrimmage today on Instagram. In the very little I saw, Epstein scored, Fernandez was playing and looked pretty healthy (just had a sleeve on one leg—not a full-on brace), and there were a handful of guys standing in sweats but not an egregious amount. Looked like PM and Annino vs. Junes and Coach K.

'22s Collison (Canada) and Marquis (Iroquois) and '23 Jewell (USA) are playing in the U18 Brogden Cup games this weekend—you can stream those for free on LSN tomorrow morning.

Was Ol Dixie channeling his inner 06 and taking a small veiled shot at his alma mater by tweeting that any program missing out on alumni events in the fall was missing a great opportunity?

As if the "program" had any say over JHU covid protocols.....

The thinly veiled shots from alums are so boring and accomplish nothing. Makes them look small. Guarantee half the people complaining about the alumni game postponement weren't going to attend anyway because they're still butthurt over Petro.

I watched some of the Brogden Cup action—Collison is a beast. From a size, skill, and shooting standpoint he's ready to step on a D1 field right now.

There’s a lot of them and pretty vocal and not so veiled in private lacrosse circles. Not sure what is accomplished by continuing the beef, what’s done is done.

school looks rough when they're hosting indoor events with world leaders, cashing tuition checks, bragging about their corona leadership and can't completely resume normal activities when most of the rest of the country is like Syracuse lacrosse. It's been clear that the daniels administration has an agenda that has more to do with certain external and elite internal stakeholders that really isn't really geared towards the benefit of students, alumni and faculty.

good for cornell willis. Hopefully these schools can lighten up and see the benefits of broadcasting these fall events to build momentum to the resumption of play w/fans next spring.

Trey Deere is putting on a clinic in this U18 game against Team USA. Would have been nice to land him.

Saw one of his goals on Twitter...was a better pass from Marquis to set it up

Hev seen Marquis on several occasions. Lacrosse IQ and vision are off the charts for a HS kid. He was a huge get.

They really come off as children. It's embarassing for them.

Watch them all go into bandwagon mode when we start winning again.

While I agree to a point I’m not sure the athletic administrators have done a great job of calming the waters. The longer they keep alumni away from the program with repeated cancellations of alumni events, team traditions and graduating player celebrations the longer it festers.

This hurts a program. The “Milliman won’t last” just scares off some recruits that don’t want the drama.

I was under the impression they postponed it specifically so that more alums would go. A lot of people weren't going to to go because they weren't going to have the usual tent party with booze this year due to the school's (not the AD's) admittedly bizarre Covid rules around food and drink. So they delayed it with the hope they could have the usual festivities everyone was hoping for. I think following through with a poorly attended, half-assed event would have been worse than postponing it. The whole point of postponing was to preserve those very traditions. Provided they have the usual event in the spring I think this will all be bygones.

That’s fair. But I do think the longer it goes with less alumni interaction the worse the relationship will be. There is really no reason they couldn’t have the tent party and senior celebrations. If you can have athletes living together and sharing a locker room you can have people outside in a tent.

[hmmm]

That's on the school though, not the AD. There's no consistency. The women have played at home a couple times in the last few weeks. First one was a play day with 4 other teams and Va Tech had a huge tailgate outside their bus right behind Cordish. The other teams were all tailgating as well. Meanwhile Hopkins parents have not been allowed to tailgate at home games(was allowed at US Lacrosse and will be this coming weekend at Loyola) and the postgame food for the team had to be individually wrapped. Couldn't just bring a veggie tray, had to be individually packaged for them. Same with pickles, muffins, etc. It's completely silly when as you said these kids are all living together and socializing together.

Agreed 100% but those rules are coming down from the university level and not the AD. If it were up to Baker I'm sure she'd be fine with having the tent party exactly how they've always had it.

This is why nobody wanted to go to the tent party:

University-sponsored events on campus may provide only prepackaged, grab-and-go food to be taken away to eat outdoors or in physically distanced areas indoors. Sit-down meals, buffets, and platters at these events are suspended. These guidelines also apply to off-campus events anywhere in Maryland and D.C.; local and venue rules apply in other areas.

It is important to note the “go” in grab-and-go; attendees must disperse from the event when given the grab-and-go food, and not immediately open and eat in a dense setting where individuals cannot easily maintain a 6-foot distance. Drinks that can be consumed with momentary unmasking are still allowed during events.

Additionally, events with a primary purpose focused on eating or drinking, such as traditional picnics or cocktail receptions, are not permitted. This includes university-sponsored meals at restaurants and private homes off-site (such as at a faculty member’s or department chair’s home).

https://covidinfo.jhu.edu/health-safety/campus-events/

The rules are quite ridiculous. The assumption though is that they will be gone for the spring semester. So it wasn't ideal but it made all the sense in the world to postpone until they could have a normal event and alums, especially high profile ones, should recognize that instead of taking potshots on Twitter. Or at least direct their potshots to the appropriate party. When they don't specify who is at fault, it makes it seem like maybe the staff were the ones trying to get rid of the tradition when that couldn't be further from the truth.
