We rejoice in the return to play. The healing characteristics of lacrosse the physical and mental health benefits for the participants, coaches, families and fans.
2021 will be a week-to-week endeavor. Expect stops and starts, a bumpy road, unpredictable and imperfect. Celebrate your negative tests. We ve seen at least three programs (UMass, Johns Hopkins and Michigan) affected because of campus spreads of the virus. Set a good example. Be the great citizen. Don t be afraid to explain to people that your health and safety and that of others on campus is critical right now. And when you earn the right to take the field and compete, do so with appreciation. Hit the reset button at the end of the week. Last week s success means nothing today; there s no carryover.
The story of Hansel and Gretel is one of the most famous of Grimm’s fairy tales. The story has had many iterations through the years, notably Engelbert Humperdinck’s famous 1893 opera. While it would seem tailor-made for children, the complexities and length of the opera, along with its Wagnerian-influenced orchestration, may lessen its appeal. To address this issue, Bel Cantanti Opera has produced a shortened version of the work which is more accessible to children. Yet the show is not for children only. The beautiful, English-language production features performers who have excellent voices, highlights aspects of German folk musical traditions, and utilizes traditional German costumes and architecture all elements that adults will appreciate as well.
I know, I said that I would do a B1G preview first, but we all need something to look forward to after what happened last night. So, here we go.
First up, is there going to be a season? No one knows. The Patriot League is optimistic, having dropped their spring schedule on Friday, though many are in New York which is currently a dumpster fire for scholastic athletics.
Syracuse is delaying the semester until February 8, the Ivy League has always been the quickest D1 conference to cancel sports in the Covid era, and the Maryland schools could go either way. Let s assume, for the sake of posting, there IS a season. Who will OSU play?
