too busy making pocket squares out of potato chip bags with box cutters which I thought were not allowed to be brought into stadiums. Quint did make a good point which they should be talking about which is that maryland had apparently arrived at the stadium and now doesn't know where to go, when to eat, when they're playing today. Anish also raised the fact that the second group winner to play memorial day weekend usually is at a disadvantage for monday. Frankly they're 22 year olds. they can do anything, but instead of the pocket square stuff, would be fascinating to hear where they are and what they do for food, timing right now.

But beyond that you can also tell just how much he cares about and admires the athletes on the field. He shadows practices and works out with the teams to get a sense of team dynamics and preparation, and I appreciate that for every random player anecdote, he has at least one that calls attention to the work and preparation they put into improving their game.

I like Quint. I honestly like all of the 3, I think they’re good guys and they love lacrosse. They just don’t work well together for whatever reason. Always seem to do better calling games with other people

I agree. These kids are in amazing shape. They could play tomorrow and be fine. D3 played two days in a row. High school summer. All plays 6 games on a weekend. The disadvantage is for Cornell. They had momentum. Now it is a new game when they finally resume.

Yeah, but Cornell scored coming out of both timeouts (the first goal was waved off for crease violations).

I understand the argument that Maryland was gassed and Cornell had them on the ropes, but I also think the first timeout (the one that was questioned) was a good timeout on Cornell's part. They had just had 3 straight possessions that had ended without solid shots on goal, and pretty clearly he needed to calm the team down and come out showing something different.

I wonder did you folks ever play in a lacrosse tournament ? Better yet the final 4? If so enlighten the board how you felt after doing so.
