2 1/2 days earlier. The Terps got out to an early lead on Penn but the game got bogged down by torrential rain and miserable cold. No way they completely recovered in 2.5 days to play a good team.
It was good for the team to lose though and in my opinion makes them even more dangerous.
But not because Penn gave the Terps a game and it was cold out. I rarely buy the notion that these highly conditioned, elite athletes in their late teens and early twenties cannot recover in 2.5 days. In late May, there is a game on Friday, followed by one on Sunday. Everyone who survives the Friday game usually seems OK Sunday around 1:00 PM.

Respectfully disagree ... especially for the juniors, seniors, and grad students. These kids take a beating, even if they are in tip-top shape, which many (not all) are.hmmm wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 12:24 pmYeah these kids grow up playing club ball in summer heat playing up to 4 or 5 games in a day. Usually on a Sunday after having played 2 games in the same heat the day before. To think that their bodies can't recover in 2.5 days, especially with all the athletic training resources that are available to them, is laughable.Seacoaster(1) wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 11:37 amRespectfully, I'll buy the "good loss."

Re: FanLax Forum Poll
Of course!! It’s absurd to say it’s not an advantage to have a fresh team. Any coach would pick having the week off before to prepare and force the other team to play a tough game in freezing rain 2.5 days before. Any coach who didn’t take that option “ because it doesn’t make any difference” would be fired for stupidity.watcherinthewoods wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 12:33 pmRespectfully disagree ... especially for the juniors, seniors, and grad students.

Re: FanLax Forum Poll
Oh, it's "absurd." Well OK then, I agree: we can settle on your excuse: my team had a tough go with a team that hasn't played much in the last two-plus years and isn't in the top 25 this year, and got tired and then lost to a team that was barely in the top 20 at the time, because they were tired.Essexfenwick wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 2:21 pmOf course!!

Now that the regular season is officially over, coupled with the fact that I am drained after yesterday's feel great win over Ginny--I believe I'll opt out today and the rest of the way.Matnum PI wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 11:32 am FanLax Forum Polls due on Monday at noon EST.

Thanks for doing all the grunt work, Matnum. Bang up job, per usual.
