Beat Albany by very close margin a few years ago - when
Thompsons were either not there yet or were Freshmen. The
Thompson trio is unbelievable. The entire Albany team played
their best game of the season last night and could have probably
beaten any team from #1 ranked down. It's too bad for us that
the game they turn it all around is against us.
Yes, we played tentative and scared and turned over the ball way
too much....but c'mon. Take a look at our roster compared to
most - we are a young team, a very young team. Still learning
and growing and playing most of our games against opponents
whose entire starting lineup (or majority of) is Seniors. We
are not there yet. We will be. Be patient.
Stop harping on the team and the coach. Try to be supportive.
I'm sure the kids feel crappy enough without knowing that their
so called "supporters" are crapping on them as well. They know
they are making mistakes - but how do you learn without making
mistakes? It's a process. Be supportive now and be part of the
process and development of this young team. My guess is 2 years
from now (when the current Sophs are Srs), we will be an
amazingly strong team.

Maybe we can get Spallina to coach the men's team.

Not crapping on the kids just giving honest critique of the
game and the season. The young excuse is not valid anymore cause
they have played just about 2 full seasons. This is a Div 1
sport and no one is going to feel bad for you. They played
better last yr and seem to be regressing. And I wouldn't put
that on the players, you have to put that on the coach. I
understand that he has kids playing with poles that were either
offensive middies or a faceoff specialists last yr, I don't
blame the kids for that. As a coach you have to take
responsibility for getting players in that fit your needs, and
so far I don't see were he has addressed the defensive problems.
As far as being patient, do you think that Hofstra excepts 3
losing seasons in a row, no they don't. This is big boy lacrosse
on Long Island and the excuses are getting old. Players that
were inherited have been run off by this coach. You have top
notch facilities and play in the heartland of lacrosse and still
there are excuses. After a recent loss the coach had said that
the kids still are not buying in, maybe there is nothing to buy
into. And I would agree that Spallina would be a much better
choice.

We'll said Chrissy D. The young excuse is getting old...coaches
Soph class has started what 25-30 D1 games already and the 2
freshmen that start are clearly up to the task. Rowe is top ten
in the nation as a fogo and if you aren't sold on Johnstone just
watch the Terps game. He's also their best option in the
clearing game.
Hofstra is back as the kings of LI and SB is about to have its
3rd losing season in a row...unacceptable IMO

Agreed. I'm really tired of every thread turning into negative
rant about Nagle.
There is a lot of good talent on this team and the future is
bright.
