Impressions of Pietramala

In all seriousness: I wish Petro well. I truly do. He did so much for this program and will always be a legend at Homewood. But I hope that "revenge" is not a motivating factor for him over there because that'd be kind of petty. He should want to do well for the sake of doing well, not to stick it to the people who fired him. Not like the players or alums had anything to do with how his departure went down. He butted heads with a couple of administrators. That's who his beef should be with.

I would not blame him for feeling mistreated after all that he has given to the Hopkins lacrosse program. A bit of anger would be perfectly natural. I’m sure he will direct those feelings in a productive way in his new job.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2022
Don’t forget who Petro is. He is old school and when you feel you’ve been wronged you carry it and use it as fuel. I can’t imagine how motivated he will be for Hop week at Cuse.HopFan16 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 9:32 amNot happy about how things went?

Re: Johns Hopkins 2022
He also said in there petro is running the strength and conditioning programs which there was some disagreement here on whether that was an issue for Hopkins during his tenure. Cuse is also apparently making big changes to its schedule but no mention of what that means for the hopkins game.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2022
All the nostalgia and revenge in the world won't win games for 'Cuse. We'll see. I'm happy that PM and staff are putting their heads down and getting to work.
Re: Johns Hopkins 2022
If that's what he needs to do to motivate himself, fine, but it's more than a little delusional. He had more than a fair number of opportunities to fix things, including 3 mulligans in the last 5 years.
Re: Johns Hopkins 2022
can't wait to see where this ends up.
a 3rd party said:
- he's all in for the orange, his new team.
- he's not happy about how "things" went at the end. whatever things is.
- he publicly has been nothing but deferential and appreciative of hopkins from his time there.
and the vultures are circling.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2022
He was asked a very general open-ended question about Petro and that's what he chose to respond with. "Boy I'll tell you"—there's a lot he wants to convey that isn't being explicitly stated. If what this 3rd party said isn't true, or doesn't reflect Petro's motivations, then that guy shouldn't be talking to the media. If Petro is so deferential and appreciative then he can't be thrilled that someone else is talking to the media trying to stir things up on his behalf.wgdsr wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 2:34 pm can't wait to see where this ends up.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2022

moving on, indeed.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2022
-Benson had all the talent he could haul in at Hopkins and after some of the gpas and sat scores that some of his recruits at hopkins posted on their recruiting videos (2 point something gpas don't get the rest of us acceptances) I'm skeptical about these claims of a lack of admin support.
-Cuse has been pretty transparent about what's going on up there and what they want to achieve and it's great for the sport. Some people act like lacrosse is a 1920 womens tea that needs strict etiquette and other nonsense. HF16 also hinted at some scheduling changes. We'll see what happens.
-the other poster was right, this feels like it will be one of the quietest fall balls in memory. Staff have long term deals, no "savior of the program"incoming recruit compared to HOFs, no major injury returns, quiet optimism about the end of the season, national pressure and focus on ivy return/cuse/uva/etc, mild expectations for a return to the ncaa tournament and enough to think memorials are w/in reason again.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2022
be nice to get hop/uva back on the sched.
Re: Johns Hopkins 2022
Mentioned it in the UVA thread but, I'd expect it back sooner rather than later. Both parties interested
Not a hint. There will be changes. Don't know them all exactly but 100% there will be at least a few swaps of the usual suspects
