What Ever Happened to Rec Specs?: College Lacrosse Schedule for March 14, 2012

PrintDo you see those things up there? Yup? Those are rec specs and apparently they've been banished to history to hang out with slap bracelets and those weight loss machines that were basically pieces of cloth wrapped around your belly and powered with an outboard motor.
I miss the classic rec specs, man. Nowadays, everybody is either wearing contact lenses -- or, as I call them, Stealth Nerd Technology -- or prescription Oakley's. Those things are fine for the athletically-inclined and optically-challenged, but the rec specs were special: In just one accessory, you let the world know of your non-stop hustle and willingness to take bumps and bruises for the glory of "Team U." The rec specs were an institution for "no-talent, why-is-this-guy-calling-fouls-during-pickup?" cats.
You are sorely missed.
Anyway, it's a light slate tonight (as light as you can get, in fact). There's only one game on the docket: The Saints travel to West Hartford to play the Hawks. Siena is in the midst of a three-game losing streak and Hartford is looking for its second win on the season.
| AWAY | HOME | TIME | FUN FACTOR | RANK |
| Siena | Hartford | 3:30 | N/A | N/A |

Q2
Hartford: Woof.
Siena up 13-5 with about ~3:00 left in the first half. Bryan Neufeld has eight points already in the first half (!!!!!!!), going 5-and-3. His five goals are on six shots. (!!!!!!!!!!)
This ain’t a pretty scene.

13-6.
Hartford getting feisty here as the quarter closes. Carter Bender having a pretty good day for the Hawks with four points in the first half.
Otherwise . . . hold off on the death certificate? (Do they even issue those things anymore?)

Q3
18-8, Siena.
Neufeld now in double-digits with 10. All over but the final point totals. (Unless there is a horrible fire in the fourth quarter and everybody dies and they call it a draw. Then, it’s not all over.)

Q4
Uh, so, 19-13, Siena. ~14:00 left in Q4.
Hartford refuses to die, which makes me question God. Neufeld stuck on 10 points (what a bum).

21-15
Q4 with ~5:00 to go.
I mean, Hartford could win, but College Crosse could also dominate pageviews against SBN’s college basketball blogs the next three weeks.

have they finally instituted a shot clock?
Orange you glad it's not football season?

Nope.
But they apparently instituted a “Score like it’s your last day on Earth” . . . clock.
