The Rebuilding Year

Friday, January 20, 2012 around 8 pm mountain time

This is why I love Roanoke lacrosse. Matt Burkhead wrote and produced this 33-minute video highlighting what was supposed to be a rebuilding year in 2011.

After losing 15 seniors, five All-Americans (including their starting goalie), and two position players of the year at the end of the 2010 season, most lacrosse fans suspected that Roanoke would struggle during their 2011 season. However, it was this set of circumstances that provided the 2011 team with a chance to achieve something great.

Watch on GoNoke.org.

I can’t believe my old team is still eating at Famous A’s, nor can I get over how crappy Stevenson’s facilities look. Go Noke!

Air France 447 Cockpit Voice Recording

I somehow missed this a few weeks ago. Popular Mechanics has a detailed article analyzing the transcript of AF447′s cockpit voice recorder.
