@Mikeysurf @terrylacy @MikeBerardino @NDlacrosse That's a distinction without a difference, Mike. When did Lars sign the last one, as it wasn't announced until late March? MLax hasn't had an early extension by my count since 2009.

It wasn’t a termination. His contract was expiring in June and 2 sides could not come to terms. Incredible that so many are now animated when Lars went into his final season w/o an extension being addressed. I track UVA HC contracts closely. Coaching in a final year of a contract typically doesn’t happen at UVA. That was the 1st red flag for me. But I’ll let the conspiracy brigade carry on that it was a Mark Millon-led parents rebellion that forced Carla’s hand and that’s the justification she gave to President Beardsley/JJ Davis for Lars’ dismissal. 🙄

#NotreDame lacrosse coach Kevin Corrigan on Final Four conference call, asked about Virginia's dismissal of Lars Tiffany after 10 seasons: "Not touching that. I understand the question, thank you, but I’m just not touching that." @NDlacrosse

@ToddG96 @james_hoganv So we don't get 3 hour games like women's lacrosse.

My mistake, per NCAA rules this play was not able to be challenged or reviewed. Joe Breschi was told on the field by the officials that the play was not reviewable, which is why he didn’t throw the challenge flag. Either way, how is this not a play that can be reviewed?

@james_hoganv Only stuff around the goal is reviewable/a challenge. Or it becomes officiated like women's lacrosse. No one wants that. And the rules are made by coaches.

@unclebooze44 @mattkinnear The rules committee. It's mostly if not all coaches.

@mattkinnear Non reviewable?? Who decides that?

Coach Joe Breschi was told by officials this play was not reviewable, hence no challenge flag from him.

@mattkinnear They're correct, only can challenge certain things around crease calls, goals being in on or on time and shot clock resets.

@andiamo_27 @james_hoganv @UNCMensLacrosse @NCAALAX @TerenceFoy @College_Crosse no, it is not challengable.

@james_hoganv Yup. Dwan was out of bounds before releasing the ball. Syracuse would’ve been man up with the push, but still a huge game changing call that was missed. Could @UNCMensLacrosse have challenged this? @NCAALAX @TerenceFoy @College_Crosse

Billy Dwan was 100% out of bounds on this play OMG 🤯

@College_Crosse @NunesMagician You can't challenge any call you want. This one is not available for challenge.

@NunesMagician You gotta pull the trigger anyway.

Foot on chalk. Breschi should have challenged!

@ToddG96 @fieldystick @laxreference the 'Cuse is probably worried about just playing a decent game again and trying to move on to next weekend.

Passing something along. Do with it what you will. Powerwise calculations are unofficial & courtesy of @laxreference. Powerwise has Harvard as clearly in the field, which is not shown here. I might share more years later, but here's this one while it is still fresh on the mind.

@aepstein @fieldystick I'm here for it.

@fieldystick Powerwise is a disaster waiting to happen. To think people don't like the RPI...just wait

@TerenceFoy @danarestia Dan, How about a quick analysis on Schroter - UVa post before AA gets voted on tomorrow? He missed via injury - 1st 2 games and last 34 min of Hopkins...

Wins from Army (up 12-4 in Q3), Virginia (up 13-4 in Q3) and Jacksonville (up 9-0 after Q1) lock Cornell into RPI No. 5 regardless of the outcome of the Ivy League championship. That feels especially pertinent to Yale fans.

@Mikeysurf @College_Crosse Shellenberger redshirted in 2000. And the Jurassic Park schtick was 2021 when Kastner came aboard.

@College_Crosse True. But so was Petey LaSalla at the X, Alex Rode in cage & Jurassic Park in closeD. Those pieces were there when Shelly redshirted and UVA won a natty in ‘19.

Honestly, Kirwan’s great, was one of the best OCs of this era If you want to boil UVA’s decline down to one guy and do a before | after comparison, it’s Shellenberger. Connor Shellenberger was every bit as great and every bit as important as everyone always said he was

@College_Crosse McConvey and Schutz were midfielders, not converted attackmen.

Kirwan’s last offense had UVA’s two best midfielders be converted attackman. This trend has accelerated since he left. They don’t recruit great MFs anymore. But that started when SK was still there Some of the issues defensively aren’t about SK obvs, but go back to 2022-23 too

I think the Kirwan thing is the easy thing to point to that is part of the explanation but such a massive oversimplification Lars was 100% better with Kirwan. Kirwan was a great OC. Kirwan was also more successful working with the players Lars got. Reason it was a great marriage

@MattParrino so you have to bench him for an entire series? like he wouldn't get the message with 2 or 3 plays? shows where McDermott's priorities are.

Here are the questions Sean McDermott answered on Keon Coleman's benching on the first series.

@CoachSWach @JonRothstein salary cap on collectives or NIL unlimited? look counterintuitive? roster limit will always be the same as scholarship limit, Alston making sure of that, really. roster limits likely will be challenged. any of your proposals can work with a CBA. not sure any of them can w/out.

Thoughts for the future of NCAAF: - Salary Cap on collectives - - 1st year player with team $100k max - - 2nd year player with same team $200k max - - 3rd year player with same team $300k max - - 4th year player with same team $500k max - - 5th year player with same team $1 million max - - - If you transfer to another team you start over at the year 1 payment of $100k max - NIL unlimited. Whatever sources outside the University want to pay you, you are entitled to earn. Just like NFL. - 5 year career max. Can play all years. Remove redshirting. Enter the NFL draft or corporate world after 5th season. - 105 scholarship limit - 125 roster limit. Collective payments not allowed for walk-ons but walk-ons can receive NIL.

The NCAA is considering allowing five years of eligibility for players in all sports moving forward, per an NCAA official. The topic will continue to be discussed in early 2025.

@augievigil13 @iTyme313 @RGIII if they ran the ball on 1st down like they did on 2nd and 3rd the clock would've run out. or been at like 3 seconds for the punt.

@iTyme313 @RGIII You guys are dumb. They didn’t run the ball because the O line wasn’t good enough. As a buffs fan myself, I wish they were trying to pad stats, they just literally cannot run the ball.

So many people want Colorado to lose for all the wrong reasons.

@RGIII always loved deion and u may be right. moi issue with him is how transactional he's made it from day 1. vis a vis 90% of team gone year 1, 40 + portals year 2. hunter's crazy, needs 15 lbs. teams are qb crazy when it comes to draft, but top 5? throws some real floaters.

@shankiesdankies @brandonrogers12 @LacrosseNetwork @PLLCannons @MCLA @PremierLacrosse watch a lot of texas mcla, do you?

@catfish_hoo @brandonrogers12 @LacrosseNetwork @PLLCannons @MCLA @PremierLacrosse Quit glazing. Because his teammate played on a d1 team proves he is good enough to play with the pros? Comment at your own skill level

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Sterling Hupp, a standout midfielder from the University of Texas, has officially been claimed by the @PLLCannons @MCLA ➡️ @PremierLacrosse

@22classy beat him to the spot. it was a 80-90% chance goal as a result. just miss the 4" ankles. (2)

@catfish_hoo How do you know if not qualified until they do it? When do you tell them they can’t do it anymore?

Lacrosse Shooting Myth: “Change Levels” 👀

@22classy you may be speaking re: training not team practice/games. wasn't really the main point, i was agreeing with you. cormier and mule didn't need to change planes bc they knew they were close enough, their hands were fast enough, and the goalie was high enough that they could (1)
