let's see: 15 minute quarters (I think) x 2 posts per minute = 30 posts per quarter x 4 quarters = 120 posts, assuming no OT. 20 minute halftime (estimate) x 2 posts per minute = 40 posts while the guys rest. That brings it up to 160 posts. Nah, no way. That leaves no time for breathing or watching the match. An interesting thought however.
Should we be for Syracuse or UVA? They always say it's hard to beat a team three times, and we've already beaten UVA twice...I can't decide. But we know UVA well (as do they know us), and have beaten them at their place. I didn't like the very end of the ACC Championship game though, as they made a run and seemed to figure us out. I think I'm for Syracuse. I guess I shouldn't worry about it right now. Need to take care of JHU first - one game at a time.
Wow, heartbreaking 2OT loss for UVA...up by 3 goals late in the game. Hit the pipe at least twice in the OTs. That's just tough.
Hopefully Syracuse.
Good article on today's game:
Maybe if they can win it all the rape case will finally go away.Matt Danowski, who could play just two more games for his father, said players have not worried about the past as they've prepared for this weekend.
He said they don't plan to make the game bigger than it is.
"When it comes down to it, it's just a game," Matt Danowski said. "You can't prove anything on the field. You can't prove people wrong on the field. You can't prove your character or your family on the field."

Yeah, seriously. That piece was interesting. I don't know how anybody could possibly want their own athletes to go through what the Duke lacrosse players went through for an extra year of availability. Plus, they weren't obligated to go to Duke. UVA had a HUGE advantage because they got Peter Lamade in his fifth year Nobody is talking about that. I can see the argument that the penalty was self-imposed a bit, but I don't think it is completely valid. Also, all ACC officials (i.e. presidents, ADs) supported the decision and the NCAA said that was an important part (although, ironically, the coach of UVa didn't support the decision, but ended up with Lamade). Now, enough about that from me...Time to focus on the game itself...
Go Duke!
