| by shredder (#8807) on 3/27/01 @11:10PM | Maryland just might be for real.
Bucknell could'nt get it going when MD lost Howley and Harper both in the 3rd. Howley for 2 minutes on a non releasable. Howley was also victimized by a prayer shot in the first quarter than had no chance except to hit a dman. He only played about half the minutes.
Maryland handled the man down again and rides better than anyone I've seen - 12 of 23 is awesome.
Virginia, I think will be the test for the Terps. I see Pnctn and Cuse as the tops with Va Md and Hop tossup thirds right now. | | | Reply to this

| by cuseblow (#1635) on 3/28/01 @1:11PM | | Who are you looking at, watch what the hoyas do to bucknell when they waste their afternoon on a wednesday to unleash the wrath on a "strong" bucknell team. Not to mention the fact that Maryland got beaten by the hoyas in a scrimmage while the hoyas didn't have Henehan and some other key players. Just watch | | | Reply to this

Besides, anything could happen on Wednesday especially if they follow your mindset and "just waste their time." | | | Reply to this

| | | | | The "strong" North Carolina team?
| by grendel (#2419) on 3/28/01 @4:03PM | | It's nice for Bucknell to beat Carolina, but let's face it, the Tar Heels were way, way overrated. While they were ranked ahead of the Herd at that point, they should not have been. In short, this wasn't even an upset. A big, big win, but not an upset. Georgetown is a legit Top 5 team. Their defense will be as stifling as Marylands, but they are a run and gun team and blow out the scoreboard quite often. If the Herd can hang with them for FOUR QUARTERS, I will be impressed. Bucknell simply hasn't played a team like this before. | | | Reply to this

| by cuseblow (#1635) on 3/28/01 @6:02PM | | Alright, how many top D1 teams in the top five play 8 different defensemen throughout the game. Believe ME, these guys NEVER get tired and other teams aren't changing their attackmen, so when the sticks go in, they are fresh and most of the time, the attackmen are very tired. This is probably why no team has scored over nine goals and the defense averages little over six goals per game. The other thing is, who said Carolina is good? Carolina sucks. They have one good player in Sonke and the rest of them are freshmen, in addition to that, Bucknell beating Carolina was only a shock because everyone expects so much out of John Haus, and Carolina is normally a pretty big name in lacrosse. So, people are saying, where did bucknell come from, and the answer is no where because Carolina is down, way down. Watch what happens when UVa takes it to Maryland, beats them and Gtown's last game against Syracuse will feature the number one team in the country playing number two. Oh, and preseason does matter, it shows who worked harder in the offseason and now it's paying off for the hoyas. | | | Reply to this

| by shredder (#8807) on 3/28/01 @10:45PM | I think you were trying to say and you might be right that the Terps have only mildly been tested.
But they do have a good mix of talent and experience. A win at virginia would certainly prove something, a close loss maybe not.
By the way, these game pictures are really lame. | | | Reply to this

| Terps...
| by lakerslax (#6598) on 3/28/01 @10:57PM | Terps are legit. Anyone who says otherwise is obviously just jealous of their number one ranking-looking in your direction G-town. From what I heard they have yet to give the championship trophy to the team who won the most pre season scrimmages.
Speaking of defenses I believe Maryland has let in fewer goals against tougher teams then Gtown. As well as having the best goalie in the nation.
And what I find even stranger is that it was mentioned that when Virginia beats Maryland THIS weekend and when Gtown and Cuse play at the end of the season. Seems like someone has a pretty cheesy schedule since maryland still has to play Virginia then Hopkins, then the ACC tournament. Is the Hoyas next big game really not until the end of the season? Sweet ECAC. | | | Reply to this

| by Your name here (#9141) on 3/29/01 @9:41AM | | It is funny that when a team that is not suppossed to be in top 15 is in the top 15, without loads of scholarship kids, and with a Petro or Urick, their success becomes a fluke. Bucknell has quietly evelated the quality of the program. Their games are played respectfully without all of the hot air and other "smack" that many of you send around these websites. It would appear from all of this website "discussion" there is very little respect given to them. Fine. Where was Georgetown before Urick arrived? All of you "big lacrosse" jock supporters pump yourselves up as if you were better than everybody else, but I thought you would recognize someone playing the game as it was meant to be. | | | Reply to this

| by laketrout (#7737) on 3/29/01 @10:30AM | I agree, Hats off to Bucknell. Let's not waste time comparing them to Gtown or 'Cuse, but 10 years ago this team was unheard of.
"Quiet elevation" is good way to describe how far the program has come. Bison fans won't forget being snubbed by the tournament selection committee a few years back, so maybe they deserve a little more respect.
I see these guys a hanging a bunch of goals on Hobart this week, taking the Patriot title, and finally getting their post season day in court. I think they've earned it. | | | Reply to this

| | | | So much for "quiet elevation."
| by grendel (#2419) on 3/29/01 @11:06AM | | The Bucknell fans regularly toot their own horn. I guess the Herd will need to stop Hobart from hanging their usual 14-18 goals on them in order to win. From the way the Bucknell fans talk every year before they play Hobart, you'd think that their all-time record against them was better than the 1-12 it actually is. | | | Reply to this

| by grendel (#2419) on 4/01/01 @5:50PM | Like Bucknell getting blown out by Penn. Who was to know you'd hold Hobart under the 15 goals they've averaged over the last four years against you? Well, you've got the Patriot League title now, so don't be an ungracious winner and make it difficult for the rest of the league to pull for as their representative.
By the way, the rest of the lax establishment isn't going to give you any credit until you beat at top ten team. UNC, Army, and Hobart are good wins, but don't expect a lot of love to come your way until you beat Georgetown or someone of that caliber. Even then, you probably won't get any credit (we can call this the Notre Dame syndrome). | | | Reply to this

| by Your name here (#9141) on 4/02/01 @7:00AM | Grendel, if this website existed when Georgetown was an "up-and-comer" you would toot your horn too. Were you a Hoya fan when they played on the roof of their fieldhouse? How does a Bucknell fan sound snobby when they toot their horns and you don't when you play the role of Hoya hooter? If you don't understand, read some of your comments.
How is Hobart not a big win, the Statesmen program ranks with Syracuse and Princeton. If you don't know, ask Urick what he did for 'Bart. I was there, I saw it. This weekend the Herd did 'Bart, what the Statesmen had down to others since the mid 1980's.
As an observer of the Herd, there is no one "tooting their horn" beyond the normal big win (even though you will not acknowledge it). Bucknell fans pride themselves for restraining themselves from doing so, and since no one outside of the Herd respects us, then take your comments, roll them into a ball, and stick it in your crease. | | | Reply to this

| by grendel (#2419) on 4/02/01 @9:49AM | | Ok, so Bucknell is "quietly confident." But let's review a few facts about the win on Saturday. I call it good, you call it "big." It is big in the sense that Bucknell has had difficulty beating Hobart. Now they have, convincingly, and they have the AQ. But now let's do a reality check. Hobart on par with SU and Princeton? Don't think so. Hobart is .500 at the DI level, hasn't won any National Championships, and hasnt' won a playoff game. So before Sid's Children can make it into the Top 10, they will need to play some Top 10 teams (they actually have more than one this year, bravo) and beat them. So far, they haven't done that. When they do, they and their fans should toot. I for one don't think it's going to happen. At least not this year. | | | Reply to this

I have tried to have a discussion on an intelligent level, but find myself slipping into the "talking smack" realm. You continue to talk about the same thing, how come you have not answered my earlier questions of Georgetown. Let me help you, because you can't. You are a yahoo fan, who probably paints their face, paints G'town on their chest, thinks the uniforms are cool, and when the program falters will move on. You are not a traditional lacrosse person, Hobart's history in lacrosse is better than of Georgetown but you are ignorant to that fact. As a DIII, Hobart played top Division I schools Syracuse and UVA), they didn't have to but they did. They created a traditional that is found at places like Syracuse, Princeton, and Hopkins. I am sure that Georgetown has a stellar lacrosse past. . .4 years. Regardless of tomorrow, true lacrosse fans know the deal and show respect for the game. You show respect as long as your team does well. As for me, I will for-go any more comments for the rest of the year. I have realized that it is pointless dealing with fans who do not appreciate the GAME on the same level. Because of this, I have no futher use for your mindless banter. Say goodnight Grundel.

| by laketrout (#7737) on 4/05/01 @3:49PM | To continue the discussion regarding Bucknell... Based on yesterday's loss to Georgetown, the herd is not yet on time with the league's elite teams.
You're right, grendel, a victory over Hobart is a good win, but not great one. Beating the Hoyas at home would have been great for this program to validate their rise. Although I don't know the specifics on yesterday's contest, the score doesn't indicate it was close.
Maybe this game speaks more of Gtown's ability to win big on the road against an anxious upstart, vs. an overachieving Bison squad looking for respect. Thoughts?

'Hadn't heard much from the Midshipmen of late, but you can imagine Urick was steamed after that road loss! You bet he had his team prepped for the contest in Lewisburg.

I was only pointing out that Bucknell deserves a little credit for their progress. Winning the Patriot League would be a step in the right direction towards getting the program to the next level: yours. With the likes of SU and others ruling the roost at present, it may take quite awhile, though.
