bills44 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 No it wasn't. Really the only problem in that game was Tambroni not calling timeout on the last clear....when the coach has mental breakdowns, so do the players. Great game though.... Didn't really see a conclusive replay that showed Keogh's glove touching the crease line. Never mind the fact that Amidon was slashed in the head about 10 seconds before that. Regardless, I will stand by my original statement that the refs did SU no favors today.

Take your orange colored glasses off dude...his glove was in the crease before the ball went in. Conclusively. You won, stop being an ass
Lori Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I managed to keep from hurling the remote through the big-screen when SU tied it, and again when they scored in OT, but I'll be damned if I was going to watch them celebrate. Think I'd better stop there.

You won, stop being an ass If you took the time to read through the thread, you'd realize that my commentary on the officiating was in response to someone else complaining about a perceived non-call that hurt Cornell. I don't really care about the in the crease call, or the EMOs against, because Syracuse fought through it all and won. I still stand by my statement that the officiating crew did SU no favors today. Do you disagree with that?
agilen Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I still stand by my statement that the officiating crew did SU no favors today. Do you disagree with that? Yes, I do. Cornell played a very disciplined game (until the end), and the whistles were used sparingly so that the game could be decided on the field. There were no officiating controversies (unless somehow Tambroni called a TO on that last clear and the refs didn't whistle it, but I haven't heard anything to that effect). It was a great game as the lacrosse championship usually is. SU wasn't owed any "favors".

My point was that SU wasn't the beneficiary of questionable/missed calls today.
DrDawkinstein Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 only caught the last few minutes of the game, but GO CUSE! SU lacrosse is my only team that wins and its nice to cheer for a good team that wins, every once in a while
Cugalabanza Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Wow! I'm really glad I watched that game. That tying goal at :04 was ridiculous! Congrats, SU!
gmac17 Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 didn't see the game, but feel bad for Cornell. Reminds me of Miami of Ohio blowing their championship in the last seconds as well....
olivier in france Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 The NCCA final is usually the only lacrosse game i can watch here each year! And this one was incredible!! Upstate NY rules Lacrosse!! Congrats SU and great game Cornell!
ACor58 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Posted May 26, 2009 No it wasn't. Really the only problem in that game was Tambroni not calling timeout on the last clear....when the coach has mental breakdowns, so do the players. Great game though.... Did they have any timeouts left? Probably a million differnt things that they could have done, but trying to clear with your longsticks was not a good move at all. They would have been better off cheaping the ball down the field and riding. Either way it was a great day for the sport. Too bad someone had to lose that game.
PromoTheRobot Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 I've seen too many Buffalo teams lose that way in my lifetime. Makes me want to hurl every time I see a game end that way, especially when the heavily-favored team just nonchalantly rips the heart out of the underdog. Epic fail, Big Red. PTR

VABills Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 I would've thought my detestation for all things Orange was a well-known fact by now ... No I guess I never payed attention. If I remember correct you are a fan of the guy who has already been embalmed but still walking the sidelines in happy valley. Beyond that I didn't know that you hated the best sports college in the country, especially in the oldest game in this country.
Lori Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 "Best sports college in the ..." Hahaha. Okay, I'm walking away from this thread now, before I get myself in trouble. I'll leave you with two sets of numbers, though, and let you figure out what they mean: 22-4 55-13
