There's a small difference but noticeable from when you drop from undefeated in conference every year and hadn't had 5 losses in a season in 6-7 years. Understandable if folks are wondering if there's a decline coming with a older coach as that is fairly common. I'm not sure I'm there but people tend to think in linear fashion - see Rutgers lately and Big Ten since formation and that MD/OSU final, they figured they'd dominate forever. I'm not where some others are but to act like everyone is crazy ignores a frequent human condition and data which you tend to like.wgdsr wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 9:08 amthey scored over 14 goals per game. how far are we running with this?Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 6:09 amThey might’ve gotten lazy living off Baptiste and little and needed to transition focus back only to get smacked with Covid. Or Tierney, as all older coaches eventually do, lost his mojo and the “newness” of Matt Brown WS usurped by sexier new ACs recruiting.
had the guy finished the 14th goal vs loyola like he should have, they may have had a 2nd shot at duke and the mods would be forced to axe these posts.
(as an aside-people tend to crap on the ECAC, I think pre big east was better when we had 2-3 teams in the NCAAs every year and a finalist or two, but even when it became a mashup of the leftover ECAC and GWLL it was pretty strong w Denver, Air Force, OSU, Loyola, Fairfield, Hobart and maybe one other I'm forgetting. Think bellarmine was in the league one year and even they had that goalie named Dillon Reade or something like that and bumped around the top 20 before McGetrick passed).
