Welcome back, everyone to getthe L scoop.
Is there a more exciting time?
(01:06):
Oh, Jay's already fucking gonnainterrupt me.
Yeah, Ron, let's start over.
What do you want, Jay?
It was a little loud.
It was a little screechy andloud.
I don't know if we can balanceit out a little.
I want tone it down Jay.
Tone it down.
I want, I mean, we want theenergy.
We just don't want the screech.
Okay.
Take two.
Welcome to a very special NCAALacrosse Championship episode of
(01:30):
Get the Lack Scoop.
Absolutely.
Jeff, are there any gueststoday?
None.
No, we don't need any.
No.
We have plenty to talk about.
Jay, why is that?
We're coming to you.
We're coming to you on theprecipice of the N NCAA cross
hormone.
In fact.
Two playing games have alreadytaken place.
Jay, we already have to play offaction.
(01:52):
It's incredible.
So exciting.
Jay, how do you wanna start usoff?
I really wanna start us off withthe number one ranked Cornell
Big Red as they are taking onthe Great Danes of Albany.
Now Ron, I don't know if you areaware of this or listeners, but
the Great Danes started theseason out one in four and then
(02:14):
after nine games were two andseven.
But since then, they have goneeight in one with wins over
UMass Bryant NC, which was thefirst round the playin game of
the Division one NCA playoffs.
So they're a team that's that'sgot some firepower and that
really has some momentum, but.
(02:37):
Who are they coming up against?
Yeah, that's a lovely story,Jay.
They're going to lose.
Okay.
Ron Lose don't have say it likethat.
Jay Scott.
Maher's a great guy.
I stayed.
I love my recording trip.
I mean, come on, let's talk up alittle.
I love Scott Maher.
I love what he's done with thatprogram.
He's got, he's built atremendous tradition at Albany
and I actually did not know Jay,that they started two and seven,
(02:58):
so, well, you know what a job bythem.
Forget that they've won sevengames in a row.
They're coming in hot.
Jay, I'm wondering if youwatched the Ivy League
championship game?
That I did not actually.
Well, I did catch that game,Jay.
And did you, Ron, I had afeeling you did.
Was thoroughly impressed withthe offensive firepower of the
(03:19):
Cornell Big Red and they veryimpressive.
I, it's interesting, Jay,because the old Ivy League i, I
I is quite offensively potent.
They are.
And they are rather wellrepresented in this tournament.
I might add.
They are.
Indeed.
I hate to say it, but I'm a fanof the Cornell Big Red.
They're just fun to watch andthey've got two Garden City guys
(03:43):
on there.
Their face-off Guy Jack Caddenhas nine goals and an assist.
And Brendan Staub, one of thebest LSMs in the country, has
two goals and two assists, andmany, many cause turnovers.
But I digress.
Ron, tell me about their offenseif you could.
Well, I mean this, this was agame Jay that had, like, each
team had six or seven goal runsin this game.
(04:07):
Crazy.
It was, it was, it wasincredible back and forth.
And so I, I just walked awayincredibly impressed with the
depth of.
Cornell offensively, obviouslythey've got one of the best
players in the country and heprobably is gonna run away with
the Ton Award.
Ron, you are right.
What is this guy's name again?
Who are we speaking of?
(04:28):
Jay, Mr.
Krs.
I think his name is pj.
Oh no, it's CJ Kst.
Thank you Jay.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, so something like that.
I've heard that name a few timesthis year.
I mean, so I think Cornell hastremendous depth and as you just
said, arguably the best playerin the country this year, so I,
(04:49):
I think there, they're gonna bea very tough out.
I'm already perhaps Jayprematurely looking.
Please don't premature Ron,please.
Looking ahead, keep it together.
Looking ahead to what could be avery intriguing Cornell, North
Carolina.
Ooh.
Yeah, well, we'll get onto that.
(05:09):
Match up next in the quarters.
Let's not jump.
Yeah, let's let's not ahead ofourselves, Ron.
We're still in the first round,so, and our roaring reporter,
Steve Rufi, has some excellentcriteria that he would like to
share.
Well, I'm, you know, I'll breakthat out at end, but what I'm
gonna do here is I'm gonna keeptrack of everybody's picks and
then we're gonna see howeverybody does.
You know, I'm gonna stack my myalgorithm with seven criteria
(05:32):
against you, your knowledge andexpertise.
Ooh.
And we'll, we'll see who doesbetter.
So I like it.
So for the first game, let'shave your picks, Jay.
Is it gonna be Cornell orAlbany?
What do you think?
Well, Albany is playing well,and it was interesting.
I saw Scott Moore with a quotesaying that.
Well, we did lose to them 1811on April the first this year.
(05:56):
But we've improved a ton and Ithink we got something special
for the Big Red so that he wasreally kind of stirring the pot
there.
But all that being said, Cornellis playing incredibly well.
They only have one loss, 14wins, one loss.
You know, it's crazy.
So I am going to go with the BigRed and I think we gotta give a
score.
I'm gonna give a score of 16 to10 going out on the limb there.
(06:21):
They're gonna get one goalcloser than in the Midseason.
We're on Steve.
The one thing that I wanna sayis this is gonna be an eight
hour episode if Jay answersevery simple question with that
kind of soliloquy, for God sake.
Ron, this is, lemme me answerthis simply and clearly of
research Ron, people put bigeffort in will win this game.
The Cornell Big Red will winthis game.
(06:44):
18 to 13.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Alright.
Now that's interesting.
Jay, do you want me to share allseven elements of my criteria,
or do you just want me to likerandomly pick one and, and
choose There?
I, I think it'd be more accurateif, for each game, I, I just
quickly go through all mycriteria.
All right, go for it.
Then.
(07:05):
We love nothing criteria numberone.
This is Cornell versus Albany.
And my first criteria is who didbetter in Yelp reviews?
So I got on Yelp and as alacrosse program or the, the
cafeteria.
This is just delivery service.
This is the actual university.
I, I look at this as a aholistic view.
I, I just wow.
I'm gonna weave this into mytapestry of you know, of how I'm
(07:27):
gonna make the selection.
So Cornell, despite only havingone review on Yelp, came in with
a five out of five.
Albany has a three one review,0.51.
Wow.
So right now that's a one in theCornell column.
Wow.
Criteria number two is who wouldwin in a fight of mascots?
So we have the Big Red Bearversus Damien, the Great Dane.
(07:51):
Clearly Cornell the bear wouldwin in a route.
Ron, do you concur?
No question, Steve.
Okay.
Now here's where, althoughperhaps argue enough to catch
the Dane, Albany comes in nowwith my third criteria cage
match.
Ron, come on.
So Albany clearly beats Cornellin alphabetical order.
Ooh.
(08:11):
Albany also loses to Cornell incheapest full service meal plan
Cornell at$7,100 Albany,surprisingly at 10,260.
Wow, that's a shocker.
But here's where Albanysurprises everybody.
The best names on the roster,while Cornell has a, a Wyatt
noose and an Antonio TAUs.
(08:34):
Whoa.
Which is pretty strong.
Albany has a Silas Richmond.
He's the top scorer too.
Silas Richmond Act.
Kinberg, no Van Vul.
Inberg.
Ooh, that's even better.
Chris K.
Crap.
Zano.
That's and Parker Winkie.
So clearly Albany scores easilyin that criteria.
(08:54):
Dam, I asked, and this is kindof where it all began.
I asked chat, GPT, who itthought was going to win, and it
thinks Cornell's going to win.
Did it give a score?
And the tiebreaker was who hasthe better football team?
And according to chat, GPT, alsoAlbany.
So wow.
This is a this is a six to onein favor of Cornell.
So I am also in with Cornell.
(09:17):
But I'm gonna guess thatCornell's gonna win 11 nine.
Oh, all right.
And the Scorcher.
All right.
Beautiful.
I'm, I'm certainly intrigued tosee those criteria unfold as we
move ahead.
Only seven more games to go.
Yeah.
All next up.
Well, I'll give, you're gonna asynopsis on the next one, but we
do have to go over some of theroster names.
I mean that really is Oh, Iknow.
(09:38):
Crap is incredible.
Some of those are pretty tightand hard to pick.
I love it.
No, that was great.
Let's get in as much as we can.
We can always edit.
All right.
Next game we'll go number eightUNC.
Hosting the Richmond Spiders.
We got Coach Breschi versusCoach Dan Shama.
Both have been on our show.
Both good friends of get thelack scoop.
This is gonna be a hell of agame.
(09:59):
I mean Richmond is 13 and threeUNC is 10 and four thing that's
too bad for 10 for UNC is thatthey're a little banged up.
Like there are two best players.
Owen Duffy and Don Petra areclearly not running full speed.
And I've got some intel.
I know one of the orthopedistsfor UNC and he said they're both
actually.
Injured, but they're, they'vebeen, they were injured against
(10:20):
Notre Dame.
And, and you could tell, I I wasactually at the Notre Dame game
and you could tell they're justnot running full speed.
I'm sure, I'm sure.
Ron, go ahead.
Coach Rushi really appreciatesyou sharing that injury report
publicly, Jay, that well, sureis.
We can edit that.
That's, that's great.
Jay, thank you for, I thinkeveryone knows helping out our
friend Joe there.
All right.
Well, heading software is, is afantastic thing.
(10:41):
Ron, your impression?
Yeah, I, I think I would've saidabout four weeks ago that North
Carolina was my favorite to winthe whole thing, but they've
been clearly a little up anddown and, and, mm-hmm.
Jay, I'm sort of joking.
I think everybody knows.
I don't think what you shared isa secret.
And even though it was an insideYes.
(11:01):
No, Jay, you were trying toimpress everybody with things
that have been said on the airon every b broadcast for the
last month.
But no, Jay, you're an insider.
Clearly you're orthopedicfriend.
Yeah.
I, so, you know, I, I do,especially with, we gotta go
with our two brown folks also onthe North Carolina.
Rob Gutile was also an insider.
John Thompson, the ThompsonOffensive coordinator.
(11:23):
Yeah.
And Rob Gile, the director ofPlayer Personnel.
I saw Gutey at that Notre Damegame.
Yeah.
So I, I, I mean, I agree withyou, Jay.
I think this, this sort of hasthe, it's either gonna be a
really tight game or whenCarolina gets rolling.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
You've seen they do have theability offensively to blow
(11:44):
people out.
They could, but so I, I will,yeah.
So I.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna go aheadand, and ahead pick Carolina.
Don't share some moreinformation.
All right.
I'm gonna share a little moreinformation.
It's not inside.
Yeah.
Jay, you've done a lot ofresearch.
You're gonna make sure we hearall about Art, do some research,
aren't you?
Well, it's interesting for thelisteners, Ron.
It's really not just, we're nothere for you anyway.
(12:08):
They're lead The spiders are ledby Aiden O'Neill.
I've been to several games up inthe booth with big Dom Staria,
which is cool.
And very consistent.
Like a lot of Dan, coach DanCate's teams, incredibly
consistent.
Like Aiden O'Neill has about 50points.
I think he's actually gotexactly 50.
And then after that you've gotsix scores all with like 25 to
(12:31):
35 points.
So they're kind of all dangerousand their defense is actually
really good.
Looking up the ratings, they're.
Offense is number three andoffensive efficiency.
Their defense is number four,you know, in the country.
And but when you look at likegames that they lost, they lost
to Duke in overtime.
(12:51):
They lost to Maryland about 12to seven, 11 to seven.
And then and Cornell, they lostto Cornell by a goal.
I was a heartbreaker.
I was at that one.
And might even been overtime, Idon't, I'm not sure.
But against those top teams,they average giving up 12 and a
half goals per game, whereasacross the whole season, they
give up only seven and a halfgoals per game.
(13:12):
So if Carolina, who averagesRon, guess how many goals per
game?
12 and a half.
Huh?
Come on Ron.
Stay with me.
Stay with me Ron.
Ha, Jay.
Yeah, so if Carolina can hittheir average of 12 and a half,
they're gonna be in pretty goodshape.
I, I think it's a toss up.
Toss up, but you know what I'mgonna, unfortunately.
(13:35):
I love UNC and Joe Brush andGoodie and John Thompson.
But I'm actually gonna go withRichmond in like ot, either a
one goal or an OT game.
I'm gonna go 13, 12.
Spiders silliness.
Jay Silliness.
Well, we'll see.
I think you're right though.
I mean, they got the pedigree.
You never know if Richmond'sgonna be a little nervous or
something.
And Carolina fired up to be athome and we'll see.
(13:58):
15, 12 Carolina.
Steve, mark it down.
Mark it down.
15.
I'm 12.
Ready?
Get down Steve.
What, what do you think is yourleading criteria in this one as
you've examined every aspect?
I'm looking at my big board now,Ron, and you know, North
Carolina has the edge on theYelp reviews and also the mascot
fight.
It's incredible.
(14:18):
You're obviously lagging inalphabetical order, but the name
thing I think is where we'regonna, we're gonna go with
Richmond because while.
North Carolina has CadenHarshbarger, Cooper
Frankenheimer, Caden Whaling,and Le Leaf Hagger up.
Richmond's coming in strong witha, a kid named Braden Pena
Feather Stevenson.
(14:39):
Oh, Pena Feather Ron.
So you don't get that every day.
I don't think North Carolina'sgoing to be able to overcome
that name.
There's not enough pen offeathers out there.
So I'm going Richmond in adecisively 12.
12 to 11 barn burner.
Love it.
(15:00):
Love it.
Very interesting, Steve, asalways.
Until we meet again.
Here's to hoping you find thetwine.

Welcome back, everyone to getthe L scoop.
Is there a more exciting time?
(01:06):
Oh, Jay's already fucking gonnainterrupt me.
Yeah, Ron, let's start over.
What do you want, Jay?
It was a little loud.
It was a little screechy andloud.
I don't know if we can balanceit out a little.
I want tone it down Jay.
Tone it down.
I want, I mean, we want theenergy.
We just don't want the screech.
Okay.
Take two.
Welcome to a very special NCAALacrosse Championship episode of
(01:30):
Get the Lack Scoop.
Absolutely.
Jeff, are there any gueststoday?
None.
No, we don't need any.
No.
We have plenty to talk about.
Jay, why is that?
We're coming to you.
We're coming to you on theprecipice of the N NCAA cross
hormone.
In fact.
Two playing games have alreadytaken place.
Jay, we already have to play offaction.
(01:52):
It's incredible.
So exciting.
Jay, how do you wanna start usoff?
I really wanna start us off withthe number one ranked Cornell
Big Red as they are taking onthe Great Danes of Albany.
Now Ron, I don't know if you areaware of this or listeners, but
the Great Danes started theseason out one in four and then
(02:14):
after nine games were two andseven.
But since then, they have goneeight in one with wins over
UMass Bryant NC, which was thefirst round the playin game of
the Division one NCA playoffs.
So they're a team that's that'sgot some firepower and that
really has some momentum, but.
(02:37):
Who are they coming up against?
Yeah, that's a lovely story,Jay.
They're going to lose.
Okay.
Ron Lose don't have say it likethat.
Jay Scott.
Maher's a great guy.
I stayed.
I love my recording trip.
I mean, come on, let's talk up alittle.
I love Scott Maher.
I love what he's done with thatprogram.
He's got, he's built atremendous tradition at Albany
and I actually did not know Jay,that they started two and seven,
(02:58):
so, well, you know what a job bythem.
Forget that they've won sevengames in a row.
They're coming in hot.
Jay, I'm wondering if youwatched the Ivy League
championship game?
That I did not actually.
Well, I did catch that game,Jay.
And did you, Ron, I had afeeling you did.
Was thoroughly impressed withthe offensive firepower of the
(03:19):
Cornell Big Red and they veryimpressive.
I, it's interesting, Jay,because the old Ivy League i, I
I is quite offensively potent.
They are.
And they are rather wellrepresented in this tournament.
I might add.
They are.
Indeed.
I hate to say it, but I'm a fanof the Cornell Big Red.
They're just fun to watch andthey've got two Garden City guys
(03:43):
on there.
Their face-off Guy Jack Caddenhas nine goals and an assist.
And Brendan Staub, one of thebest LSMs in the country, has
two goals and two assists, andmany, many cause turnovers.
But I digress.
Ron, tell me about their offenseif you could.
Well, I mean this, this was agame Jay that had, like, each
team had six or seven goal runsin this game.
(04:07):
Crazy.
It was, it was, it wasincredible back and forth.
And so I, I just walked awayincredibly impressed with the
depth of.
Cornell offensively, obviouslythey've got one of the best
players in the country and heprobably is gonna run away with
the Ton Award.
Ron, you are right.
What is this guy's name again?
Who are we speaking of?
(04:28):
Jay, Mr.
Krs.
I think his name is pj.
Oh no, it's CJ Kst.
Thank you Jay.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, so something like that.
I've heard that name a few timesthis year.
I mean, so I think Cornell hastremendous depth and as you just
said, arguably the best playerin the country this year, so I,
(04:49):
I think there, they're gonna bea very tough out.
I'm already perhaps Jayprematurely looking.
Please don't premature Ron,please.
Looking ahead, keep it together.
Looking ahead to what could be avery intriguing Cornell, North
Carolina.
Ooh.
Yeah, well, we'll get onto that.
(05:09):
Match up next in the quarters.
Let's not jump.
Yeah, let's let's not ahead ofourselves, Ron.
We're still in the first round,so, and our roaring reporter,
Steve Rufi, has some excellentcriteria that he would like to
share.
Well, I'm, you know, I'll breakthat out at end, but what I'm
gonna do here is I'm gonna keeptrack of everybody's picks and
then we're gonna see howeverybody does.
You know, I'm gonna stack my myalgorithm with seven criteria
(05:32):
against you, your knowledge andexpertise.
Ooh.
And we'll, we'll see who doesbetter.
So I like it.
So for the first game, let'shave your picks, Jay.
Is it gonna be Cornell orAlbany?
What do you think?
Well, Albany is playing well,and it was interesting.
I saw Scott Moore with a quotesaying that.
Well, we did lose to them 1811on April the first this year.
(05:56):
But we've improved a ton and Ithink we got something special
for the Big Red so that he wasreally kind of stirring the pot
there.
But all that being said, Cornellis playing incredibly well.
They only have one loss, 14wins, one loss.
You know, it's crazy.
So I am going to go with the BigRed and I think we gotta give a
score.
I'm gonna give a score of 16 to10 going out on the limb there.
(06:21):
They're gonna get one goalcloser than in the Midseason.
We're on Steve.
The one thing that I wanna sayis this is gonna be an eight
hour episode if Jay answersevery simple question with that
kind of soliloquy, for God sake.
Ron, this is, lemme me answerthis simply and clearly of
research Ron, people put bigeffort in will win this game.
The Cornell Big Red will winthis game.
(06:44):
18 to 13.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Alright.
Now that's interesting.
Jay, do you want me to share allseven elements of my criteria,
or do you just want me to likerandomly pick one and, and
choose There?
I, I think it'd be more accurateif, for each game, I, I just
quickly go through all mycriteria.
All right, go for it.
Then.
(07:05):
We love nothing criteria numberone.
This is Cornell versus Albany.
And my first criteria is who didbetter in Yelp reviews?
So I got on Yelp and as alacrosse program or the, the
cafeteria.
This is just delivery service.
This is the actual university.
I, I look at this as a aholistic view.
I, I just wow.
I'm gonna weave this into mytapestry of you know, of how I'm
(07:27):
gonna make the selection.
So Cornell, despite only havingone review on Yelp, came in with
a five out of five.
Albany has a three one review,0.51.
Wow.
So right now that's a one in theCornell column.
Wow.
Criteria number two is who wouldwin in a fight of mascots?
So we have the Big Red Bearversus Damien, the Great Dane.
(07:51):
Clearly Cornell the bear wouldwin in a route.
Ron, do you concur?
No question, Steve.
Okay.
Now here's where, althoughperhaps argue enough to catch
the Dane, Albany comes in nowwith my third criteria cage
match.
Ron, come on.
So Albany clearly beats Cornellin alphabetical order.
Ooh.
(08:11):
Albany also loses to Cornell incheapest full service meal plan
Cornell at$7,100 Albany,surprisingly at 10,260.
Wow, that's a shocker.
But here's where Albanysurprises everybody.
The best names on the roster,while Cornell has a, a Wyatt
noose and an Antonio TAUs.
(08:34):
Whoa.
Which is pretty strong.
Albany has a Silas Richmond.
He's the top scorer too.
Silas Richmond Act.
Kinberg, no Van Vul.
Inberg.
Ooh, that's even better.
Chris K.
Crap.
Zano.
That's and Parker Winkie.
So clearly Albany scores easilyin that criteria.
(08:54):
Dam, I asked, and this is kindof where it all began.
I asked chat, GPT, who itthought was going to win, and it
thinks Cornell's going to win.
Did it give a score?
And the tiebreaker was who hasthe better football team?
And according to chat, GPT, alsoAlbany.
So wow.
This is a this is a six to onein favor of Cornell.
So I am also in with Cornell.
(09:17):
But I'm gonna guess thatCornell's gonna win 11 nine.
Oh, all right.
And the Scorcher.
All right.
Beautiful.
I'm, I'm certainly intrigued tosee those criteria unfold as we
move ahead.
Only seven more games to go.
Yeah.
All next up.
Well, I'll give, you're gonna asynopsis on the next one, but we
do have to go over some of theroster names.
I mean that really is Oh, Iknow.
(09:38):
Crap is incredible.
Some of those are pretty tightand hard to pick.
I love it.
No, that was great.
Let's get in as much as we can.
We can always edit.
All right.
Next game we'll go number eightUNC.
Hosting the Richmond Spiders.
We got Coach Breschi versusCoach Dan Shama.
Both have been on our show.
Both good friends of get thelack scoop.
This is gonna be a hell of agame.
(09:59):
I mean Richmond is 13 and threeUNC is 10 and four thing that's
too bad for 10 for UNC is thatthey're a little banged up.
Like there are two best players.
Owen Duffy and Don Petra areclearly not running full speed.
And I've got some intel.
I know one of the orthopedistsfor UNC and he said they're both
actually.
Injured, but they're, they'vebeen, they were injured against
(10:20):
Notre Dame.
And, and you could tell, I I wasactually at the Notre Dame game
and you could tell they're justnot running full speed.
I'm sure, I'm sure.
Ron, go ahead.
Coach Rushi really appreciatesyou sharing that injury report
publicly, Jay, that well, sureis.
We can edit that.
That's, that's great.
Jay, thank you for, I thinkeveryone knows helping out our
friend Joe there.
All right.
Well, heading software is, is afantastic thing.
(10:41):
Ron, your impression?
Yeah, I, I think I would've saidabout four weeks ago that North
Carolina was my favorite to winthe whole thing, but they've
been clearly a little up anddown and, and, mm-hmm.
Jay, I'm sort of joking.
I think everybody knows.
I don't think what you shared isa secret.
And even though it was an insideYes.
(11:01):
No, Jay, you were trying toimpress everybody with things
that have been said on the airon every b broadcast for the
last month.
But no, Jay, you're an insider.
Clearly you're orthopedicfriend.
Yeah.
I, so, you know, I, I do,especially with, we gotta go
with our two brown folks also onthe North Carolina.
Rob Gutile was also an insider.
John Thompson, the ThompsonOffensive coordinator.
(11:23):
Yeah.
And Rob Gile, the director ofPlayer Personnel.
I saw Gutey at that Notre Damegame.
Yeah.
So I, I, I mean, I agree withyou, Jay.
I think this, this sort of hasthe, it's either gonna be a
really tight game or whenCarolina gets rolling.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
You've seen they do have theability offensively to blow
(11:44):
people out.
They could, but so I, I will,yeah.
So I.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna go aheadand, and ahead pick Carolina.
Don't share some moreinformation.
All right.
I'm gonna share a little moreinformation.
It's not inside.
Yeah.
Jay, you've done a lot ofresearch.
You're gonna make sure we hearall about Art, do some research,
aren't you?
Well, it's interesting for thelisteners, Ron.
It's really not just, we're nothere for you anyway.
(12:08):
They're lead The spiders are ledby Aiden O'Neill.
I've been to several games up inthe booth with big Dom Staria,
which is cool.
And very consistent.
Like a lot of Dan, coach DanCate's teams, incredibly
consistent.
Like Aiden O'Neill has about 50points.
I think he's actually gotexactly 50.
And then after that you've gotsix scores all with like 25 to
(12:31):
35 points.
So they're kind of all dangerousand their defense is actually
really good.
Looking up the ratings, they're.
Offense is number three andoffensive efficiency.
Their defense is number four,you know, in the country.
And but when you look at likegames that they lost, they lost
to Duke in overtime.
(12:51):
They lost to Maryland about 12to seven, 11 to seven.
And then and Cornell, they lostto Cornell by a goal.
I was a heartbreaker.
I was at that one.
And might even been overtime, Idon't, I'm not sure.
But against those top teams,they average giving up 12 and a
half goals per game, whereasacross the whole season, they
give up only seven and a halfgoals per game.
(13:12):
So if Carolina, who averagesRon, guess how many goals per
game?
12 and a half.
Huh?
Come on Ron.
Stay with me.
Stay with me Ron.
Ha, Jay.
Yeah, so if Carolina can hittheir average of 12 and a half,
they're gonna be in pretty goodshape.
I, I think it's a toss up.
Toss up, but you know what I'mgonna, unfortunately.
(13:35):
I love UNC and Joe Brush andGoodie and John Thompson.
But I'm actually gonna go withRichmond in like ot, either a
one goal or an OT game.
I'm gonna go 13, 12.
Spiders silliness.
Jay Silliness.
Well, we'll see.
I think you're right though.
I mean, they got the pedigree.
You never know if Richmond'sgonna be a little nervous or
something.
And Carolina fired up to be athome and we'll see.
(13:58):
15, 12 Carolina.
Steve, mark it down.
Mark it down.
15.
I'm 12.
Ready?
Get down Steve.
What, what do you think is yourleading criteria in this one as
you've examined every aspect?
I'm looking at my big board now,Ron, and you know, North
Carolina has the edge on theYelp reviews and also the mascot
fight.
It's incredible.
(14:18):
You're obviously lagging inalphabetical order, but the name
thing I think is where we'regonna, we're gonna go with
Richmond because while.
North Carolina has CadenHarshbarger, Cooper
Frankenheimer, Caden Whaling,and Le Leaf Hagger up.
Richmond's coming in strong witha, a kid named Braden Pena
Feather Stevenson.
(14:39):
Oh, Pena Feather Ron.
So you don't get that every day.
I don't think North Carolina'sgoing to be able to overcome
that name.
There's not enough pen offeathers out there.
So I'm going Richmond in adecisively 12.
12 to 11 barn burner.
Love it.
(15:00):
Love it.
Very interesting, Steve, asalways.
Until we meet again.
Here's to hoping you find thetwine.
We're signing off here at theget the lax scoop.
Thanks again so much.
We will see you the next time.
