A game of streaks. We rattled off seven straight goals to go up 9-5, then gave up six straight to fall behind 11-9. Seems like UR exploited that left-side weakness on everyone of them.
-
Richmond will be an interesting matchup, and a challenge. They lost to Loyola in OT and to UNC by the comparatively close score of 14-9. I can't say I like our chances, but the Spiders aren't on par with U-Va. or Duke.
-
Nice to see both wins, but the men lost 12 of 20 face-offs, so that Achilles heel shows no sign of improvement.

WBB rebounds to beat Drexel on Senior Day
TigerFan54 replied to mat1992's topic in Other Tiger Sports
Jeter's arm is in a sling in the Senior Day photo. Any idea if the injury is long-term? -
Women are down by 20 at halftime to Drexel. Jeter has no points and has played just 11 minutes. There's something wrong with this picture.
-
She's in the game now -- late in the third quarter -- with a bandage of some sort on her right shoulder. Not a good sign. (And we're down by 30...)

MLax Wins in OT on Milani goal,, But Lose 13 of 18 Face-offs

It's going to be another tough year if we can't improve on that stat. What is it with Nads that, Woodall aside, he can't solve the X? https://towsontigers.com/sports/mens-lacrosse/stats/2021/saint-josephs-university/boxscore/18494 https://towsontigers.com/news/2021/2/13/mens-lacrosse-milani-scores-overtime-winner-over-saint-joseph-s.aspx -
MBB falls to Charleston in double OT 90-88 (story up)
TigerFan54 replied to mat1992's topic in Tiger Basketball
Even the Charleston announcers were admitting to the break their team got on the Timberlake foul. Do the refs ever get graded by their overseers for the calls they make? Players are, coaches are -- why not refs? -
What about Ron Johnson -- is he coming back? Not sure whether the lack of a spring season helps or hurts us. Lesser risk of injuries, of course, but some teams will get better by playing 6-8 games as guys who have been sitting for 18 months get to sharpen their skills, grow from game experience and build chemistry (especially offensive lines).
-
Need great improvement at the X, and some offense, and better goaltending...

MBB gets first CAA win with 3-point victory over UNCW
TigerFan54 replied to mat1992's topic in Tiger Basketball
I like what we're seeing from Solly this year. He's made improvement, and could become a force, IMO, if that continues. -
Just one year of eligibility?
-
I'm glad to see this. Now, with field hockey and women's lax having separate facilities, only men's lax lines will mix with those of football on the Unitas Stadium field.
-
I had Coach A for a half-credit bowling class my first semester. That was the fall of 1972, his first year as head coach, when we won just one game. I had a feeling better things were in store, and indeed they were. I'll second what everyone here has said: He was a wonderful man and a great coach.
-
That was a memorable era, often for heartbreaking reasons. Along with the narrow loss to Youngtown State, we lost at Lehigh the next week on the final play of the game (a preview of the Howard loss at home in '93. which kept us out of the playoffs). Then came an endless string of injuries in '90 an '91, and the STF near-debacle. Glad we persevered.
-
I remember that team and saw several of their home meets. It amazes me that our scores were sub-190, when today our teams hit 193, even 194, but don't do as well against strong competition. Is it grade inflation or are the gymnasts just that much better these days? Also, compare the size of the rosters: 18 on the team this year compared to 12 back then.
-
I don't see any mention of the UAB transfer in the previews. Is he still coming? Does he have to sit out? (The latter might work to our advantage, given how many newcomers/returnees we have to fit into a rotation.)
-
Do I have this right: players don't lose a year of eligibility by playing in the spring? (Meaning,for example, that Villanova's senior QB Smith and senior stud RB Covington get to play both in the spring and in the fall?) If so, that doesn't seem fair.
-
That play (and game) is one of my top three TU football memories. The miracle comeback against Northeastern (on an untimed down with the clock expired) in '92, the near-miraculous 22-second drive to defeat Richmond on the final play (2007, I think), are the other two. But this one ranks highest because it was emblematic of such a special season. I love that team.
-
That's about when it used to start. The weekend before T-giving, if I recall correctly, the Devin Boyd era and earlier.

FloSports just charged my credit card $95 even though there are no sports to watch

I assume I'm not alone, and probably not alone in being pissed off either. When I clicked on the "contact us" button on the FS website, the only thing that pops up is snail-mail address in Texas. So redress is limited. Anyone have thoughts on this? -
He seems to sense pressure and moves well to escape it. Also like how he keeps his eyes downfield when scrambling.
-
I'm with Chris Datres on this one. It's all about chemistry and I liked what we were building. I didn't like what I saw from ZM too many times, especially when he would drive and lose the ball or get snuffed rather than dish it off.
-
I was pleasantly surprised by Platt's improvement this past year. He looked overmatched as a freshman, but in 2019 showed some elusiveness. Mat, on a related subject: With the PAC-12 season "postponed," what are the chances Constantine comes back here if we have spring football? His chances of playing are far greater than at Wash. State.
-
Very impressive young man. I remember watching his father play -- he was a relentless, so the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
