Cortland '72 (and other years, too)
Re: Fall Ball Scrimmages
I think the date was May of 1973 when he graduated from Cortland.
Re: Fall Ball Scrimmages
1972 NCAAs Cortland upset Navy.Cortland was notable for going 14 and 2 that season while knocking off defending champion Cornell, Syracuse and Navy. Cortland was coached by Jack Emmer who later took Washington and Lee to consecutive NCAAs, before moving on to be the longtime coach at Army.
They won the USILA title the next season.

Re: Fall Ball Scrimmages
Might not have upset 'em if they had put a few more shots on cage.
57 shots for Navy, 28 for the Red Dragons.
Hope they turned out to be better navigators than shooters.

Re: Fall Ball Scrimmages
If I remember correctly DMac, goalie Peter Roy from LI (most of the team was from LI) had a huge game vs Navy. Maybe some Red Dragon, circa '72, can confirm.

I’ve done a lot of research on that team.
In addition to Tierney, they had any number of other players on that team who went into coaching.
IIRC, Tierney was a middie who saw some PT, though really that team had any number of AAs.
Cortland beat Cornell pretty soundly, in Cortland, a Cornell team one year removed from the 1st NCAA national championship, though Cornell pretty clearly that year was not the ‘70-‘71 team.
Then of course there is the Jack Emmers angle, Emmer left the following year and performed a similar build of a program into a national title contender at W&L. One of Emmer’s initial W&L recruits was the 1st All American from my high school, Robin Major Morgan, who Emmer pulled from Air Force.

Moving a discussion from a different to this thread.

My God, the hair! Striving for solid "flo" (if much of those absurd looks can be called solid) is certainly not a new lax phenomena.
Re: Cortland '72 (and other years, too)
Pressler played for Emmer at W&L, I believe...in fact, he was part of the infamous "armadillo"!!
Re: Cortland '72 (and other years, too)
Indeed he was, he is in on the dillo that forms around 15:45 here. I think whether you know what the he’ll someone is talking about or not when the Armadillo Game is referenced is a good gauge of knowledge of lax history. The fastest sport in two feet it was not but what a unique and crazy game.

Don't forget the great players from the mid to late 70s. Mike Hoppey, Jerry DeMaio, the under appreciated Bill Hydo, Jimmy Burke.
Re: Cortland '72 (and other years, too)
Looks like Mike Waldvogel graduated prior to the 72' season (69') but went on to have coaching successes at Cornell, Yale, Fairfield women. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Waldvogel

Re: Cortland '72 (and other years, too)
My college coach Jack McGetrick played on those teams. My first boss was on the 72 team, Burt Severns, he really taught me how to have fun while playing the game. Paul Wehrum, Tierney, Long. Team coached by Emmer. He had a lot of great stories. I have a recording on a CD somehwere he game me of the 72 navy playoff game. The announcers are clueless but very funny. You can here when the bus loads of Cortland fans get to the stadium as well.
Re: Cortland '72 (and other years, too)
‘72 was a fun year. “Avenge the screw in ‘72”! Four AA attackmen! I was there that year and spent time serving beer to much of the team at the “Hollywood”. Great memories...PS That team photo is definitely post ‘72.
