15-12 Syracuse with 11:00 to go. Pretty surprised.
Quick yes. Quicker because the field is 17-7 yds (typically 12 yds) narrower than official field - causing much more rapid interactions / collisoins in the game.Madlax59 wrote: āSat Feb 24, 2024 12:39 pmwatching Cuse-ND game. both teams look quick, ward's 2 TO's not ideal and some dumb cards. Neither goalie has made a save . Not expecting that from the super star Cuse goalie. Cuse back to their swinging ways .....better watch the yellow crds.
They miss the other Tyrell clearly. They dont have that player you have to watch like a hawk fearing what they will do. Ward just isn't that player for them, imo.
ND hadn't shown anything to think they were some juggernaut. NU win was nice but they've beaten top teams before. Syracuse has more than enough talent to compete. This season is wide open. Expect the unexpected
Almost understating.
Cal & Oregon would like to talk
They will still roll Louisville and beat Pitt. also Oregon and Berkley may want to get into the discussion
Not finding the downplaying of ND valid here, this a very good team with several very good players on it.Kleizaster wrote: āSat Feb 24, 2024 3:11 pmND hadn't shown anything to think they were some juggernaut.

Haven't seen the word juggernaut, re ND, used by anyone other than you. Bring your A game when you come
to play the Catholic girls in spite of their unjuggernautness
I am going to think this over the next day or so. But let me politely ask: why Michigan No. 2. I get that they beat a Denver team that a lot of folks think is or should be good. But wins over Jacksonville and Cincinnati, two really poor teams, and a fair USC team don't add up to No. 2, for me anyway. Disclosure: Not a fan or a "hater." Just think the data isn't there yet (and haven't seen them with my own eyes yet).
Expanding on this. I think Notre Dame is good and that Mrs. Moneypenny got outcoached by KT today. She had no answer and very little adjustment in Q3, where Cuse rattled off 6 goals (to none?) and really locked down a lot better on defense when ND had the ball. Two very able teams with flaws. A lot of good lacrosse players and very good athletes.Seacoaster(1) wrote: āSat Feb 24, 2024 4:28 pmTotally agree.DMac wrote: āSat Feb 24, 2024 3:41 pmNot finding the downplaying of ND valid here, this a very good team with several very good players on it.Kleizaster wrote: āSat Feb 24, 2024 3:11 pmND hadn't shown anything to think they were some juggernaut.

I feel like this also happened a lot last year . Also I know Iām a broken record but does ND not have a back up goalie ? Even to give the starting goalie a break ?Seacoaster(1) wrote: āSat Feb 24, 2024 6:03 pmExpanding on this. I think Notre Dame is good and that Mrs. Moneypenny got outcoached by KT today.

So Syracuse loses by 1 to NU, and NU loses by four to the Catholics. Syracuse beats the Catholics by 2 in South Bend Alien Football Venue, after losing in the Dome to a Maryland team that promptly lost at home to a Florida team that got smoked by Loyola and UNC. W.T.F.? Is this what parity looks and feels like?
