Hofstra Lacrosse 2024

[JoeyBagODonuts1]

Was down at Duke for the basketball and great to see John Danowski. He spent a great deal of time with the Hofstra folks and even attended the pre-game event with one or two of his assistants.
Another great representative for the Pride on a national stage.

Coach Danowski is a great guy. When he was still at Hofstra, my alumni group used to run an annual Miniature Golf tournament. He would come down with his kids (they were still kids then) every year to support us (and win most of the awards!)

Thought I was going to be disappointed with the schedule. Nope. Its challenging for the most part. Hope the team is up to it and can turn the program around from the last number of years.

Not bad at all - not too hard, not too weak, very winnable. This needs to be the year.

LOLOL no it wont be. you know that, we all know that

For those that don’t know
John Danowskis father Ed Danowski played for the NY Giants football team
He was their QB for that historic sneaker game against the Chicago Bears

Hey I'm trying here lol

I do have an odd level of hope this is the year they can actually do something. IMO, if they can't do anything this year, then ST will cement he's done. Nothing will happen to him of course because of all the things many of us have noted previously - but this is the year to me that ST can either right his ship or show it's unrecoverable at the bottom of the ocean. They have EVERY reason to win this season, and ZERO excuses to fail.

I am really really REALLY working hard to maintain positive vibes with this, so I'm going to stick with my guns and say HU turns in a solid year.

Three scrimmages at Shuart Stadium this coming Saturday, Jan. 27:

10 AM Hofstra vs. Air Force

12 PM Air Force vs. Manhattan

2 PM Hofstra vs. Manhattan

Weather is supposed to be nice.

[Polito]

Nice, appreciate the heads up.

It is baffling to me though that any Lax is played in the middle of winter. I don't really understand this lol. This sport shouldn't start until March. I know this is just scrimmage work, but the season starts in snow weather too, I think it's unnecessary - I guess that's how the scheduling works, just odd to me!

[stuball888]

I remember years ago we were playing Binghamton at home in February
There were a few inches of snow on the field
There was a scrum on the field and the ball popped loose and somehow landed in the snow
At that time the ball was white not the yellow it is today
for a while none of the players on the field could find the ball

[Polito]

As bad as playing baseball in the snow. The obsession with making every sport a year long ordeal is annoying. Seasons! Whatever happened to seasons?! It isn't fun anymore, it's kind of a nuisance. I'm not following every sport 12 months a year lol.

If the season were to start later, teams would either have to shorten the regular season or the NCAAT would have to end sometime in June, not on Memorial Day weekend. It's difficult to play midweek games.

[Mikey77]

Any word on this weekend's scrimmages?

[triplec2195]

Jojo you went to the games no?? What happened??

[Jojogunne]

Sorry, I only stayed for a little while. Too cold. Team looked competitive.

[triplec2195]

We're picked 5th out of 8 teams in the CAA. TWO PLAYERS WERE SELECTED TO THE HONORABLE MENTION TEAM. Comments please!!

[stuball888]

Are the top 4 teams only qualify for the CAA tournament?

[triplec2195]

We're throwing a beating on Wagner today does this one sided win have any meaningful implications??

[HUSID80]

The feed crapped our on me numeerous times...pathetic...we were up 20-8 with a few minutes left when it finally died for good...still don't know what the final score was.
