HOF2013

Burti is back from injury.  Was at practice Friday with a red jersey on, was running well thouhg.  Couple of good looking transfers in as well.

Binghamton looks strong this year. Their next couple of gamse will tell.  Could come down to us and them for the league title.

Scott's post game comment pretty much says it all:  

but our execution wasn't as sharp as it has been the last couple of games and it cost us."

That and 41-30 in ground balls; and 1 - 5 on man-ups many without even getting a shot on goal??? Pretty even on face-offs with Regan doing better than 50% when winning clean [against best F/O man in the league; but did not get much help if any from wings.]

Which brings me to two questions for you lacrosse "experts" {which I am most certainly Not one};  on ground balls I have noticed over the years and other have also commended it seems UA on ground balls plays the man rather than going for the ball [ in other words the first UA man on the scene, seems to be more interested in keeping the opponent from picking the ball up then trying to get the ball himself. UA seems to rely on a secondary man, to get the ground ball while they occupy the opponent? IS this some sort of STRATEGY or ground ball philosophy if you will. Probably wrong, but I've seen UA do this for years and also seem ground balls have been a bug-a-boo of theirs for years.  THOUGHTS OPINIONS??

Second question many have blamed Whitney for throwing the ball away at the end of the game.  He certainly did NOT "execute" the play properly, but IMHO he did at least try to make the correct play, which is to get a loose ball away from the front of the crease to the side. Not an expert, but have heard and assume a goalie's job when he cannot handle a shot or loose ball cleanly, always Knock it away from the crease to the side or behind??  THOUGHTS OPINIONS??

I have commented on the same issue. We seem to try to move the man and NOT get the ground ballon the sidelines AND we seem to always lose that battle...  BUT whitney was not the only one making bone head plays.  Whitcomb makes at LEAST 2 bad pass turnovers every game, typically overthrows an easy pass each time AND Nisson seems not to know what to do when he gets the ball trying to clear - throws it away a LOT. Hand to  out of bounds 'passes' in the game..He had two in the 4th Q......

The thing is you don’t know is that UA DID try to move it … they tried but Vermont was already in town day before. Them getting down here Saturday would  have been even tougher & more unsafe. There’s always behind the scenes administration stuff that goes on that not everyone is privy to. Stunk for UA fans but glad to be able watch from couch on miserable day. Bottom line is we got a HUGE W! 

I was at the game, rain but really not bad IF one knows how to dress for it.  W was pretty warm and dry the entire game.  GREAT game........

The difference in ALL 4 and 5 star recruits every year vs.  none every year..  Athletisicm and talent.

Our defensive lack of skill shows!!!!,  Def. getting hammered - MOST of our shots on Offense are wide??? As always.

Thanks

10 seconds gone in the second 1/4 and we have another goal already!!!  11 - 0   BUT we can not see the game!!!!!

Wonderful  missed the enitre first 1/4!!!!  We are up 10 - 0

yes but it keeps saying broadcast is about to start,, First period almost over and we are up 7 - 0

Game is suppose to be broadcast on ESPN+  BUT it is not broadcasting yet???   We have 5 goals and the first 1/4 is half over!!!!!! WHAT THE>>>>>>>>>

Another game, another loss.  Nice comeback at the end to have a chance but in a hole most of game.

Yep. Some poor defense in front of the crease again and 15 turnovers - mostly bad passes................Still we had a chance.  Why have a video replay rule if they don't use it?  Second game where we got screwed by the officials - could have at least had a chance here and should have won the Drexel game.  The announcers clearly could review the film...............they saw what happened.. 

Screwed by the call giving them a new clock with 1:28 left and us down by 1 goal...................No replay video - what goo dis the rule if they don't or CAN'T use it???  Filming from the bleachers again.  

I'm gonna say it.  15 turnovers in the first 1/2 MOST on BAD PASSES!!!!!!!  Plus they have got to get 26 and 44 out of the games.  They are TOO SLOW and get beat all the time.  Putting a young kid in there can NOT be any worse.....

Here was the call that was 100% wrong which would have given us the lead with 3 seconds to go. Clearly NOT goalie interference. Ryan had ball in his stick after scooping up rebound. The bigger issue is only some conferences have video review ability think it’s just the ACC & BIG 10. So what good is video review during regular season ???

Maybe his stick hit the ground inside the crease???? Still think it's a bad call..

We come all the way back and the in OT bad pass and NO SLIDE and they score.....................................................defense again.

Hate to say it but our defense is awful, especially in close.   Can't get ground balls, can't slide...........................Iis No 30 middie hurt?? Engers loses the ball all the time - not new. been doing it for 2 years...  Very frustrating to watch......

I think they have two cameras right next to each other, one long and one closeup, but the top of the bleachers is too close. Also it sounds like the announcers are doing the game from a studio,  no crowd noise or game sounds.

Way too close...
