Moe’s Southwest Grill Sunshine Classic Open Thread

moes southwest classic

Let’s get some dialogue going in the comments. What are your predictions for this Sunday treat? I say Ohio State will give Denver a game and that Navy will edge Jacksonville. What say you?

24 Seven Lax predictions
Woody – Denver 15 – Ohio State 8 and Navy 10 – Jacksonville 9
Tom – Denver 13 – Ohio State 11 and Navy 12 – Jacksonville 7

Tune in to NBC Sports Network (formerly Versus) at 2PM Eastern time to catch Denver vs. OSU followed by Jacksonville vs. Navy

About the Author

With 23 years of playing experience under his belt and a gut forming over it, Tom has shifted his focus away from playing the game. When he saw his 40 time "slip" from a 4.7 to a 7.4, he knew the writing was on the proverbial wall and decided to try his hand at coaching and blogging. The jury is out on both. He, his wonderfully supportive girlfriend, and their kids call Catonsville, MD home.

    I’ve never seen Jacksonville and every time I see Ohio State they play like dirt. I don’t think they will be much of a matchf or Denver today. I’m embarrassed to say I know nothing about the mids this year, even though they play 20 minutes from my house.

    Denver and Navy should win; Ohio state always seems to be one of those teams “ready to break through” to the top tier – great facilities, solid recuriting base, etc. Denver has quickly become the class of the ECAC.  Navy always plays tough, but last year they seemed to really lack size and speed – saw them play at Hopkins and it was a physical mismatch.  I am interested to see how they look this year; While I don’t think they will win, it would be great for the game if Jacksonville can get some success.

    Mark Matthews with an absolute rocket. That shot reminded me of Michael Watson.

     That shot reminded me of me.

    Commentators hatin’ on Canada.

  • Dan Frye

    Denver’s defense is looking rough and a lot of struggle between the boxes. But Matthews needs to pic a few more corners.

    OSU playing Matthews tough so far.

  • Dan Frye

     I’m impressed with Ohio’s defense. I expected Denver to run all over them. I couldn’t believe someone stripped Matthews.

    And boxla.

  • Woody

    What about the dive rule? Denver’s 7th goal shouldn’t have counted.

    Looks like OSU brought the firepower today. Fourth quarter is gonna get interesting with OSU up by two, 10-8, with a little over ten minutes to go.

  • Woody

    Some obvious stalling right there. In the box or not, they are not attempting to attack the goal. OSU should lose possession.

    Now *THAT* was a crazy final minute of lacrosse. Love the upset, even if that was stalling at its finest… congratulations to unranked OSU.

    Reporter: What did Ohio State defense do to be so effective against your high-scoring offense?
    Coach Tierney: Held the ball on offense.

  • Matt_87

    Did not see the OSU-Denver game but did see Tierney’s post game display and comments on OSU holding the ball.  Did Denver’s defense go out and pressure OSU, or did they pack in a zone?

    Saw the Jax-Navy game.  Either Navy had a very bad day, or they are in for a very long season.  Jax looked better in every category and had some great offensive sets dodging and cutting from the wings. 

  • Paul Woody

    Denver did not press hard until about 2 minutes left. OSU was able to eat away a solid 4 minutes just playing keep away behind the net.

    I think Navy will be okay, the Jacksonville goalie was standing ion his head.
