Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
The difference is the NHL was a pro league and not competing with other leagues (conferences in this case). The Pac12 is competing with many other conferences so that’s who they will be compared to. They will get there though, it’s just going to take time and they have to get the east talent to go west.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 8:51 amI disagree.

Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
OSU-Hop 8-8 at the half. Very competitive game.
OSU jumped out to a lead, Hop came blazing back,
OSU responded to get it back to even.

I don't watch Louisville all that much, but watching Nakazawa grow these last couple years has been so much fun. Such a remarkable young woman and just fun to root for.

Absolutely! I would love to hear her interviewed and listen to her perspectives on coming to America, playing lacrosse in D1, etc. She's a very nifty player. Does so many interesting things out there. Really has great anticipation too.laxagainsthumanity wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 2:15 pm I don't watch Louisville all that much, but watching Nakazawa grow these last couple years has been so much fun.

Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
Hop wins it 17-14 but at least OSU didn't do something stupid like playing tight enough to get their feet tangled up in the last forty seconds.

Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
I’m sure most people have heard by now but - Army overNavy for the first time in history! What a win for Coach Tumolo
Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
Yes, great, historic win.
No offense to Kayla Treanor, but Tumi should have gotten the Syr job.
Maybe it will end up with two winners, like what happened at Md. when KAH turned down the job after Cindy left. Terps ended up with Reese and have never looked back even though some Terp fans still hold a grudge against KAH.

Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
Was "Tumi" offered the job?
I think a statement like that
is actually inherently offensive.

Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
Par for the course for you Dmac. Par for the course.
Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
How's that?
The current coach wouldn't take offense to that?
Kinda like, "No offense, but you're ugly.", no?
Again, do you know if she was offered the job?
Treanor was named the third head coach in program history on June 23, 2021.
On June 28, 2021, Tumolo was named the Noto Family Head Coach of the Army Black Knights women's lacrosse team at the United States Military Academy.
Was she already committed to Army when Gary decided to make the switch?

Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
That's my opinion. I don't think Treanor gives a rat's ass about my opinion and, thus, wouldn't give it any thought or take any offense.
Now that you are phone buddies with Treanor you are way too invested in this. Why don't you call her up and ask what she thinks?
I think Tumolo should have gotten the job. She didn't. Life goes on. She's doing a bang up job at Army. Treanor seems to be doing just fine at Syracuse.
If you think Treanor should have gotten the job, that's fine. You are entitled to your opinion. You wouldn't see me say "that's offensive." But then I'm not you.
I think you need to eat another gummy.

Re: 2022 Spontaneous/Miscellaneous Game Threads
In all your huff you need to answer the question.
Was Tumi already committed to Army when the Cuse HC job opened?
Was she offered the job? Was one actually chosen over the other or
was only one available? If she wasn't available then no, she shouldn't have
gotten the job.
