Flex your kids' successes all you want. I've interviewed my fair share of CNU grads, and what you may save in $$ to go there in state, you lose in preparation for the real world. Farmville prepared my kids for their 7* figure jobs on Wall St just fine, where they're making enough money for me to put my own name on your kids' medical school if I wanted to.

Then they either have to play Stevens who has been rolling or Roanoke, a senior heavy team who is juiced to probably be the last team in

This CNU team is loaded with 5th years and Seniors who have played big roles in two final fours and one elite 8 trip the last 3 years. I think their tournament experience gets them through the weekend, but I can definitely see it being two very tight games.

Being loaded with 5th years and Seniors only matters when they want to be there, and so far it looks like Brendes is the only one who wants to be in Newport News... was going to make a snarky comment on some of them having a foot out the door and in some sort of career, but their roster bios don't even include their majors to make that joke. Goes to show how much a CNU degree means in the real world.

Hard to compete with a team as desperate as Cabrini. Deluca has quite a special group there, and it showed in their conference final. I like the Cavs in an upset but not sure how much further they can get on short rest.

I mentioned it in the ODAC forum, but I really don't know if Roanoke matches up well with Stevens. The Ducks are about as solid as it gets defensively, and we've seen what happens when the Maroons face a good defense. My eyes will be on this pod for sure.

I’m all for giving it to CNU because I feel like they have had an easier ride to a “dominant program” because of a few OT wins to a down Lynchburg program in the past few years. But this Saturday is cabrini’s last game as a program. While DeLuca has done well with this squad and situation, a 19-12 win vs Marymount is not impressive whatsoever for a program going into the playoffs. CNU wins by atleast 7 Saturday. No mistake about it tho, Cook needs to be in every possession for the rest of the season. Couldn’t believe it when he wasn’t in a few times against SU. Needs to talk to DeLuca about Krug’s mentality in 2019 after the game and maybe cnu gets to the final four again if hanway can atleast save 50% of shots. They’ll be playing next week tho.

What are you talking about lol. How did they have an “easier ride”? 2021 was one of Lynchburg’s best teams and CNU beat them twice. In the last 4 years they have beaten RIT, Dickinson 3x, Gettysburg 2x, LYN 5x, W&L 4X, Salisbury, Wesleyan, Williams 2X, Stevenson 4X…. They have been a dominant program and the results speak for themselves. There are about 3 programs(RIT, Tufts, Salisbury) with a better resume than them over the past 4 years.

I will agree with you on the Cook thing though.. That kid should be shooting the ball at least 12 times a game. Not a single person in D3 can guard him when he wants to get to the goal. CNU will go as far as he takes them.

Flex your kids' successes all you want. I've interviewed my fair share of CNU grads, and what you may save in $$ to go there in state, you lose in preparation for the real world. Farmville prepared my kids for their 7* figure jobs on Wall St just fine, where they're making enough money for me to put my own name on your kids' medical school if I wanted to.

I’m guessing your Father’s Day is a lonely one.

Come on, that is not necessary. All I am saying is that mine got a very good education at CNU and is now doing well. I talk to CNU kids weekly, I don't interview them, and they are good kids. Maybe your interviews in that area is not the right fit for those types of CNU grads, I don't know but I would never interview several kids and then paste it towards every graduate, that's not fair. I'm glad to hear that if I need a loan I can check with you first :-). Let's just hope the Gennies remember the 1974 team at their 50th anniversary of not winning the NC, and reverse that :-).

maybe someone can start a lax forum for fans to talk lax, instead of bashing other colleges and universities.

as the famous meme claims….. less than 7% of high school athletes continue to play in college. every kid playing at HSC or CNU or any other college, is probably having fun, and will walk away with a college degree. anyone that can put 20/hrs a week into athletics, and 15 hrs a week towards classes and several more hours studying, is probably going to be successful when they get hired.

I agree. This year is off the charts in terms of insults and trolling. It has become a depressing window on the poorer aspects of human nature.
