Re: Johns Hopkins 2021
Another Bobby Fan. 7. Oh yeah, that’s about what his offense averaged his last season at Hopkins per game. That stat I’ll remember. #7 all time goal guys apparently don’t make the all time great coach list.HopFan16 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 11:56 pmI guess I don't really get the "dopey Bobby"/stat boy/benchwarmer jokes.

I'm going with stole his girlfriend and killed his dog.
For the record, these are the stats from Bobby's last fullyear: https://hopkinssports.com/sports/mens-l ... stats/2019 Not bad for the total incompetent you seem to think he was.
I've been critical of BB in the past, but I do try to let facts get in the way of my arguments.
Re: Johns Hopkins 2021
You have to look at the season that we will remember when he was asked to move on......the one we will all remember.

Yes? Jeff Teat is an amazing player. Hopkins needs amazing players. He’d help them winMightyjoe wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 11:14 pmApparently you never played a team sport.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2021
I would like to say, in the nicest way possible, Cornell Willis can take a long walk off a short pier. Maybe we get extra lucky and this guy stops being the "face" of the fanbase. He does not speak for anyone but himself.
Rabil apparently is content with mediocrity in his rear view mirror as long as he gets to put his feet up in the old coaches' office and tell war stories; would think the guy who wants to win would understand but is probably too close to the situation for clarity.
For the record - I've been siting in Section 107 with my family long before anyone knew what a Cornell Willis was, and I actually did graduate from JHU (in the same class as Rabil). Alot of you will remember me from the old forum, accepting PM guesses.
Anyone who is more worried about winning and less about their clout and whether their key to the Cordish Center still works would like to give Coach M a chance to do great things here.

It is tough to watch this because I really appreciate everything both Paul and Coach Petro did for Hopkins, this stuff from the Rabils is just delusional.Begs the question why he couldn't do that at Hopkins the last decade.jhu06 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 11:49 pm -Sour.

Mike Rabil has no connection to JHU as far as I know except sharing some DNA with his brother. Did he pay any attention to Hopkins, the lax team, the sport, before his brother walked onto the field? Doubtful. Why the eff do we care what he thinks? He is friends of the old coach; He is not a program booster.

Another hope - maybe the turmoil will clear out the dead wood including the guy who decided the reserved section needed assigned seating.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2021
Wow, this guy Milliman is intense!
God help you if you miss a ground ball on his team.
For the players who stay, the serious ones, he could take the program to new heights.
Which isn't saying much given it's recent level of success.
I can't debate the wisdom of choosing a 5-0 Coach over a 0-5 Coach.
Maybe we'll see some quality play on Homewood field for a change. Hope Mr. Pete knows where he can scrounge up a goalie.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2021
Cornell's goalies were not playing well this season (pretty much the only facet of the game that was not excelling for them in 2020), but last year their guy was 54% (as a freshman) and the year before the goalie was 56% and one of the best in the country.Sagittarius A* wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:43 am Maybe we'll see some quality play on Homewood field for a change.

As far as Mr. Teat goes, I don't know the kid though I suspect he's probably done with college ball and will now go pro in both indoor and outdoor. But on the off chance he wants another year and is interested in following his former coach to Homewood, the players should welcome him with open arms if they are serious about winning.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2021
Psychology is more important to G than any other position - failure begets failure and success begets success. If performance elsewhere on the field improves, goalie performance will improve directly (better D means fewer opposing quality shots) and indirectly (G mindset).Sagittarius A* wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:43 am Wow, this guy Milliman is intense!

Re: Johns Hopkins 2021
I'm always reluctant to post on this thread, because it's not my business, and Hopkins fans know their lacrosse, and know what they want.
In the spirit of the general good of all, I'd like to note that I got to know Coach Milliman right after the transition from Ben Deluca, and over those six and a half years, dealt with him on several types of logistical issues about which alums and coaches often communicate. I found him to be a polite and deeply committed coach who was generally liked and admired by both players and parents. If you want to win, with the Hopkins' platform, he's a great guy to have on your side.

To have Teat or not Teat is the question.

But for Hopkins it is a question of whether it helps or hurts the program long term. I think next year is all about preparing the team for long term success. It should strive to make the NCAAs but if it doesn't that is okay so long as there is improvement across the program particularly in areas were Hopkins has struggled the last decade. Next year is setting the stage for success in the 2022 season and beyond. If Teat helps you accomplish that and he wants to come to Hopkins that is great. If he doesn't help you meet that goal then he shouldn't come.

As for Cornell, it’s only a matter of time before the Big Red win another national title. That’s what we tell ourselves about Hopkins!
