Is there any benefit for alumni arriving early tonight or are the freebies for students only?

It was nice to see the ranking next to our name for a while but it's got to gone after that. Yuck.

Scott said it was a good week of practice. I find that hard to believe after last night's performance. OUTSHOT 41-19, lost ground balls 38-25, with 19 TO's, and face offs pretty close 12-10.

 

For you arm chair QB's out there; I'm looking for opinions. I think Scott should open up the offense (I have been saying this all year, even when we were winning). I know he is being conservative offensively to keep the ball away from the opponent and protect his suspect defense. I would like to see them take more shots, speed up the attack, and not wait every possession to substitute and set-up. I do not profess to be a lacrosse expert, but I still feel we have a lot of fire power and it is not being utilized. Maybe the best way to help the defense is to score more goals. I know our opinions do not and should not mean a thing, but I am interested to hear your thoughts.

 

Also, anyone know what is happening with Caufield and Derek K? I thought they were suppose to miss only the SU game?

I don't know how you speed up the offense when you have as many unforced turnovers as last night. Seemed they couldn't hold on to the ball, or pass it without hitting a defender's crosse.

I thought we were showing signs of sustaining quality play. I guess not.

Hopefully they are just being overly cautious with Caufield and Derek.

If we have a big win in the upcoming game, hopefully we won't drop out of the top20.

Maybe it was the dreaded overconfidence playing a winless, mediocre team...... as well as not having our other 2 key pieces to our midfield.

 

I'd be embarrassed with that performance.
