Howdy folks. I'm coming to you live from Cavanaugh's on 39th St to cover the Women's Lacrosse selection show. Unfortunately unlike in past year's coach Karin Brower did not want me to be with the team when the seeds were announced, so here I am at a sports bar since I don't get CBS College Sports. Anyway, it should be exciting, as Penn could get anywhere from the No. 3 to No. 5 seed

9:58	I've been told that Brower will call me once the seeds have been announced, so hopefully I'll get her opinion on it later. But before that happens I'll try to post as much of the results as I can.

What's a realistic expectation for the team this year?

10:02

Here are my predictions for the top eight seeds:

No. 1 Northwestern
No. 2 Maryland
No. 3 Penn
No. 4 UNC
No. 5 Duke
No. 6 Syracuse
No. 7 Princeton
No. 8 Notre Dame

I don't know why Brower didn't want me. And that decision was made before the loss to Stanford.

any chance that the ban was NOT her choice, and it came from bilsky or destanisalo?

To be honest, this team just hasn't looked too good in the last two games (actually more the last three halves). Meanwhile, Northwestern and Maryland have been pretty dominant this year, as both are 19-0.

So to be honest, I see the Final Four as a very strong possibility for Penn, but beating either of those two in the semifinals is going to be hard.

I'm fairly confident Bilsky or DiStanislo had zero to do with it. First, I don't the athletic communications person would've asked Brower who would've then asked one of the other two. Frankly, I've covered the team very well for the last there seasons, so there's no reason to fear me. So I don't Bilsky thought the media was out to get the team. Just probably a decision by Brower.

What do you make of all the anti-AD chatter as of late?
