For The Good and Welfare of....Lacrosse


Some crazy end-of-the-season musings from the old guy that runs this operation:

1. Congratulations to Salisbury, Trinity, Dowling, C.W. Post, Loyola and Northwestern, you all showed great determination in achieving the ultimate prize.

2. Salisbury and Cortland, D III again showing the lacrosse world the way the game is supposed to be played, on the Men's side.  Trinity and Post taking the women's game to the next level. Dowling proving in the playoffs it's truly difficult to beat a team the second time around.

3. Now we turn to the Division I championship games, micro managed, over coached and doing a disservice to the players and the fans. Why can't we let the players play?

4. The fans stayed away in droves in Foxboro. Is it the venue? The location? The product? The economy? I think it's a little bit of them all.( Raise your hand, was Phila. great or what!)

5. Men's lacrosse is staring down the barrel of the shot clock. Just as its time came in collegiate basketball, so must it come in Men's collegiate lacrosse.

6. Hats off to the Division I RAC committee, they sure got their # 1 seed correct. Transition broke Maryland's back and they couldn't play fast when they had to.

Now it's time for me to go on the recruiting trail, I can't wait it's a joy!
