Curious. Did Scharfenberger attend Manhasset H.S. prior to going to Deerfield?

Nope.

Don’t think I saw #11 Peter Thompson out there today. Wonder if he’s injured? Not a lot of second midfield action.

[fordmaddoxford]

I wonder if it’s a big East thing? It’s branded as Big East Network. Which would put it on par with Big Ten network which also is additional subscription and also disappointing from what I hear.

If so, then the Big East is participating in a scam.

An important update:

FloSports wrote back to me and now claims that the $12.50 monthly option was never available. If you notice, that option is in a lighter shade. The yearly plan is the ONLY option you have.

FloSports is now offering a $29.99 one month “discontinued” subscription in its place, which is still more than the completely non-existent $12.50 monthly option.

Here is the email from their customer service bot. Seems like they anticipated angry responses from cheated customers:

I'm Finn, your FloSports Customer Support Bot! It looks like you may be trying to make some changes to your subscription and I might be able to help.

We should all complain to the Georgetown athletic department and the GT lacrosse office about this scam.

On 2/11 I signed up via the GU site for the $12.50/mo. option which was, indeed, offered. I was e-mailed a receipt. It reads in part:

Plan PRO-Monthly
Subtotal $12.50
Sales Tax. $0.75
Total $13.25

I also printed out their Terms of Service which specifically refer to "Monthly Subscriptions" and the cancellation thereof.

Interestingly, I haven't seen a charge yet. Thanks to you lot I'll be on the lookout. And ready to raise Cain if they try anything.

Not injured. I was surprised he didn’t get any run as well. Good passer and has a quality shot.

Great way to start the season. Sounds like the game might have been closer than the score but no one cares about that at the end of the season. 16-8 sends a message.

Hopkins ran out to a 5-2 lead in the first quarter with Gtown making a number of unforced turnovers and doing a poor job leaving openings off ball on the crease. Once the defense locked down they outscored Hopkins 14-3. Initially on the strength of their transition play. The six on six offense didn’t start clicking until the fourth quarter which could also be a symptom of tired Blue Jay legs.

[HGK25]

No Haley and no points from Hess, although I thought he played well. Haley looks to back for Penn according to IL article and Hess will put up points as we know. Haley back allows Bundy to move back to a more comfortable role as a midfielder. 16 goals today yet the offense should really improve going forward. That better offense paired with the defensive unit could be some combo to game plan for.

Pains me to say that it is more than fair to fault the Big East and Georgetown for getting into bed with such an outfit.

Thanks. That’s pretty disturbing. I think the Georgetown athletics department needs to be informed of these issues. If they already know … shame on them.

I put some notes up on the Penn thread on Saturday scrimmage.

Looking forward to this contest.
The game will be carried locally by
NBC Sports Plus Philadelphia.

Sadly, it’s just about the Benjamins these days.

When wasn’t it all about the golden calf?

[44WeWantMore]

Sometimes two different generations (apparently you and Doc) do not share a common https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_literacy

Western culture in general and Anglo-American culture in particular is a bibliocentric culture. It often trades in allusions to the Christian Bible,[2] the influential works of Early Modern English such as works of William Shakespeare, the Thomas Cranmer Book of Common Prayer, Geoffrey Chaucer's poetry, and many others.

One of the reasons MLK resonated so well many generations ago was that he borrowed liberally from the Declaration of Independence, and (especially) the KJV translation, most popular with American Protestants of that era. Today, its chief advantage is that it is not copyright-encumbered.

Gtown will be a final four team this year

First they have to beat Penn next week.

[HGK25]

Penn will be a big test. Handley is a beast. Assume Bowen will draw that assignment.
