As far as the Furman hire, there is no context to why she is a bad hire. Started 2 program in the last 8 years. Went 74-22 at UAH over 6 seasons (including the 7 game Covid season) and went 24-11 in 2 seasons at Anderson (SC). This year they finished in a 3 way tie for the regular season SAC champi...

Furman fired up their programs by hiring Richie Meade and Rachel. They even held a press conference at the final four. So much promise.

Here we are 10-12 years later with a cancelled men’s lacrosse program and Gail Wallach leading the women’s program. Yikes.

Furman clearly doesn’t care.

Care about what?

Women’s lacrosse.

Very fair question re: Cornell. Obviously, H2H not flattering vs. PSU or Penn. and then Princeton grabs AQ. Based on 'eye test' and comparing schedules, I'd be more concerned about playing Cornell than Princeton or Penn in the tourney. Saw them play ND, and super impressed. That is Cornell’s issue....

Couldn’t you make the argument Cornell has a better resume than Penn, Penn State, and Princeton? Cornell has a higher SOS than the other three. Has a top five win against the likely tournament 2 seed (Syracuse), the other three have no top 5 wins. They have a 6-10 win against Princeton head to head....

Time and again, Scott Marr and his program are some of the best this sport has to offer. What an incredible win for them. Scott does it right. Good luck in the tourney! Marr paid a bit of a price for the path he chose to recruit year’s back - it paid off, they reached a Final Four. But he paid a pr...

Sitting here fat, dumb, and happy watching Michigan destroying Penn State. I'm fascinated and puzzled by the BIG 10 Network's USILA Men's Lacrosse Rankings chryon: To whit DUKE-1, UVA- 2, Maryland- 3, Denver- 4, Army-5, Notre Dame- 6, Hopkins- 7, Syracuse -8....yada,yada,yada. I saw it, every damn ...

Honestly, I am so sick of hearing about these kids. The non-stop love fest for the Kavanaghs by the mainstream lacrosse commentators (who barely even follow the sport beyond the basics needed to call a game) has reached a new level of "STFU"... god it is so annoying and I can't help but t...

No. Nope. Not even close.

This is Tillman’s greatest coaching job. He got this team within 2-3 goals of a B1G championship. The pieces just aren’t there and he almost pulled off a miracle. I’ve said this for months. They lost by 10 in the conference semis….and they were “within 2-3 goals of a B1G championship”? What am I mi...

It wasn't about the truth in the Duke story (Which is the name of a book about the scandal)....Bad look 100000%....Politically motivated railroading also true...Duke and Nifong got hit in the piggy bank once the real truth came out...But the damage was already done...Duke Lacrosse will ALWAYS have ...

Kirwan jumped for Dartmouth a year too early. He would be a natural fit at Brown.

Re: FSU Ask yourself, do you truly expect an ACC (soon to be SEC) athletic director to hire…a high school coach? Chris Robinson is fantastic. A legend. A hall of famer. But come on… “Dear Mrs. 15-20 year coach with top tier playing and coaching experience, who has worked hard to climb the ranks, ou...

I really, really doubt he “resigned” to show how upset he was with the way the administration handled it/out of outrage for their lack of support over one incident. I get it if he was outraged and didn’t like the way the admins responded, but dude has a family and kids to support. Do we really think...
