Breaking News: Bucknell Goes Adidas

Adidas posted some pictures of Bucknell's new lacrosse equipment on their Facebook page today.
The gear is mostly white quite subtle. Navy blue serves as the primary trim on the arm pads and as the branding color on the gloves. The most notable features are the large plastic elbow cap on the arm guard (quite refreshing) and the metallic trim strips on the gloves.
Overall, I'd rate the equipment a 7 on a 10 point scale. I understand wanting to avoid large applications of orange and navy blue to minimize confusion with Virginia and Syracuse (although is that a bad thing?), but at this point white is fairly played out. With a strong color scheme, it would have been nice to see a bit more injected into the new gear.
This makes the Bison the second NCAA D1 lacrosse team to officially switch to Adidas lacrosse equipment. Can Bellarmine, Brown, and Denver be far behind?

Hockey Night In Iowa 2010 Edition - Game 7

Special Sunday Edition!!!

This afternoon the intrepid players of the Irwin's Bike & Sports hockey team will once again grace Buccaneer Arena with our presence. This will be our second of three Sunday afternoon games. Last time we faced Cup O' Kryptonite in a 5-2 loss; we suffered a major loss to Cup again on Wednesday night.
Today we will play our second game against Yankee Doodle Dandy Tatoo. You may recall that we beat YDD 5-2 in our first meeting. That result is a bit skewed, however. YDD suffered from a depleted bench and we had the services of a player currently on leave.
We will be missing our captain/sponsor this afternoon, this means the responsibility falls on my shoulders. Goalie Todd Daniels is still expected to be out, so our net situation is foggy. We'll probably be missing a few key players due to youth hockey as well. Still, I am confident that we can repeat the victory, if nor the scoreline.
The puck drops at 4:00 pm. If you're in the neighborhood and want to watch some free (crappy) hockey, by all means come on out to the arena. The lounge will have beer and soda available for purchase.
