To start this off, I will ask:
-Might 2023 Notre Dame be the first team since 2008 Syracuse to win the national title one year after not making the postseason? The Irish will be very talented and hungry.

Wouldn't they be more like 2009 Syracuse since they already won the national title this year?gymman1031 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 12:23 pm To start this off, I will ask:

Re: Notre Dame-2023
Have to go back to 2019 to find the last Notre Dame roster with a player on it who played in a Final Four. It’ll have been 8 years from their last appearance next spring. Might want to start there before thinking championship

Re: Notre Dame-2023
Chris Fake is very good. He benefitted a lot during his most high profile year, his freshman year, from the best shortie combination Yale has ever had (Tyler Warner and Jason Alessi), so (as is the case for most poles) he'll do best with good ssdm support, but he's a tough, physical pole who will make almost any unit better. Brian Tevlin is an amazing guy and leader who happens to be an outstanding 2-way midfielder. Their arrival in South Bend doesn't mean ND draws the "take a ride in the final four" card in monopoly, but they'll make the team deeper and better.
Re: Notre Dame-2023
It will be interesting to see ND's 2023 schedule (true of other ACC teams, but especially of the Irish); hopefully it will have more than 12 games. Gotta play OOC games games against non-Midwestern competition; would love to see them play an Ivy or two. Fake is indeed very good; he and Tevlin are winners.

Re: Notre Dame-2023
Don't hold your breath regarding more than 12 games. Haven't seen Corrigan do that in a LONG time. It's honestly the biggest mystery in D1 Lacrosse. I just don't get how he thinks the extra practice gained by starting 3 weeks later than everyone else is more conducive than early game experience that they could build on in May when it counts.

Re: Notre Dame-2023
Notre Dame seems to be the final holdout in terms of posting their 2023 schedule...

Re: Notre Dame 2023
That 4/15 hole may just be a hole and that's their complete schedule. ND's had years where they had a long break in games towards the end of the season.

Re: Notre Dame 2023
Mystifying to me that Notre Dame would rather play Carolina twice than have longtime rival Denver on the schedule…
Re: Notre Dame 2023
I mean, not sure those two things are related to one another. ACC decided a couple years back to play 6 conference games with one another. Last year ND played Duke and Cuse twice. This year they’re playing UNC twice. They’re going back to 4 ACC games next year so perhaps that allows more scheduling flexibility

Because the closed loop only had so much benefit and they see the downside now after trying to game the schedules (the ACC as a whole). Strikes me as cheap for programs that have so much to start with.jrn19 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 8:24 am I mean, not sure those two things are related to one another.
