Felt like UVA came out to physically manhandle Georgetown from the outset and it worked. A young Hoya team backed down and never came back up for air. Losing the FOGO to a cheap shot in the first 20 seconds certainly did not help matters, although even Reilly at full strength likely did not matter today. The very good news is that this is a young Hoya team and the frosh now know what they need to be ready for in the playoffs in the future. All in all, a very good season.

Agree. It was a rough way to exit an otherwise spectacular season. The team either didn't come to play or were knocked off their game by the cheap shot on Reilly.

The good news is that the team is young and will be adding Will Bowen next year. It will be interesting to see if any seniors take advantage of their covid year and come back.

Overall I'm bummed about the way the team played against UVA but excited about the future of the team.

Good one! You guys really aren't very bright. Anyway, thanks for trying to ruin a thread with pathetic trolling. Run along now, kid.

Their kids will be working for the Hoyas players one day. Let them have their fun.

I discovered the ignore feature so now I don't have to see their posts at all. It's pretty grand.

An unbelievable season for the Hoyas. Pretty wild to think how many freshman they played who didn’t have a senior season of high school or a fall as a freshman. No one on the team had a fall and they ran into a buzzsaw on Saturday with championship experience without their FO guy. I’d be optimistic for 2022.

Only lose Carraway I believe.

Posted: **Sun May 23, 2021 7:57 pm**

In terms of next year, the only major contributing fifth year players this year are Carraway and Petkevich. However, Smith, McElroy and LiCalzi of the starters are seniors with an additional year of eligibility. A key will be if McElroy comes back, as the transfer Bowen from NC will help even if the one or both of the 2 senior D men move on. Is there any word yet on who may stay for a fifth year?

I also believe that GU should upgrade the OOC schedule going forward. They did that last year with adding UNC, and this year is a wash due to the COVID scheduling rules. I think that wins in the BE other than Denver and maybe Nova will not be highly valued for the foreseeable future.

The VA game showed that GU has taken the step to the the second tier, but the top tier teams are at another level. Despite the last game, I believe that the program is still trending upward.

Posted: **Sun May 23, 2021 8:47 pm**

I believe Smith and McElroy are both returning. Not positive though.

Posted: **Sun May 23, 2021 9:00 pm**

Just to be clear, no UVA fans posted until back to back descriptions of the opening play as a "cheap shot"...pretty sure that was the 'trolling' for a reaction that occurred, not the response.

That said, congrats to Georgetown for a terrific season.
Yesterday wasn't their day, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a great season.

UVA was bigger and more physical period. Reilly down hurt clearly but Hoyas weren’t winning that game either way after the tone was set early. Smith and McElroy are back. Would look for Hoyas to be more active in transfer game this offseason beyond Bowen. Sometimes you need to knock on the door before you can kick it in. Tough way to end the year but I think the UVA game made it clear to Hoyas what it takes to get to the elite tier. Let’s not forget this team had no fall ball, no weight room and no locker room. Not an excuse but with all that back in place , ton of talent returning, great freshman class and what i’d expect to be another 1-2 difference makers from transfer portal 2022 can hopefully be a special year.

Just to be clear, there is already a spirited discussion on the UVA-Georgetown thread where rolldodge clearly explains the rules of lacrosse. The two posters in question left that thread to go try pick up the same tired argument on a Georgetown-specific thread. If they'd like to continue that argument there's already a place for it. Pursuing another fan base on a separate thread is trolling.

Well, you and I disagree as to what was 'trolling' and what was a response, just as I disagree that rolldodge explained "the rules of lacrosse"...quite the opposite, really. No disrespect to rolldodge.

Trolling would have been if UVA fans had come on the thread prior to anyone making the 'cheap shot' comment and said something disparaging about Georgetown players or fans.

Frankly, it's "cheap" to make a comment like that, which added nothing to those posts other than to take a whack at the UVA player and team, and then to expect no response?

I do think the responses were caustic...but when something is characterized as a "cheap shot" or "unsportsmanlike" it's bound to get a response in return if the charge is indeed inaccurate. IMO, it's an inaccurate charge. It deserved a penalty, but it was neither "unsportsmanlike" nor a "cheap shot". That said, posters can have differing views.

It's a valid discussion on whatever thread it's brought up. And, in this case, two posters did so on here, before getting pushback.

BTW, I'm quick to call a high hit unnecessary roughness and taunting unsportsmanlike. They do happen and it's perfectly appropriate to call them out.

Disagree but this whole thing is exhausting. This is a Georgetown thread, one should expect a Georgetown slant on events by definition. I'm not going to respond to this line of commentary again so have at if you like but don't expect a response.

No need to respond.
I do agree that threads that are team specific should be expected to be 'slanted' by nature of the likely % of participants commenting. Lots of us read the various threads and intermittently post in some, others much more, depending on our own interests. While the rules certainly don't discourage other fans from posting as well, including quite opposing perspectives (it's not a 'safe space'), let's just say you and I would agree that it's 'bad form' to go on another school's thread and out of the blue insult the players, fans, coaches with the intent to get a rise out of them. I just thought this was a case in which the "insult" was from the Georgetown posters first, response to that.

Again, terrific season by Georgetown. Terrific team and group of players. Just a tough Saturday.

As this is also a 2022 thread, not 2021, probably time to move to discussion of next year's team? Recruits coming in, etc?

Doesn't change the fact that it is quite pathetic to start a G-town 2022 thread whining about UVA. It is what it is...soft. I wonder if the G-town fans whining watched the UMd Notre Dame game. More hits than I can count which were rougher than the hit they are crying about from UVA-G-town.

Posted: **Mon May 24, 2021 9:58 am**

Agreed on the UMD ND comment; many more egregious fouls than anything we saw in UVA GU game. And how about that neck wrap at the end in the Duke Loyola game? Truly dangerous.

I think, however, that your point's been made...and other than the specific, and IMO unnecessary, crack, and its repetition, the posts were reasonable, realistic and forward looking...I think that's the better course for discussion on this thread...IMO.
