1. Relentless focus on rankings including gaming with test optional and a pathetic early decision 2 option 2. Removal of legacy admissions and then still pandering for donations from alumni (while being gleeful legacies only comprise 2% of the student body like that's something to be proud of) 3. S...

Yes - my dead horse has been roster size and while I still strongly feel there are a myriad of benefits to a smaller/streamlined roster that ship has probably sailed. '06's math looks pretty good this time and he is omitting Smith (in process and likely), the DIII face-off man, conversations/inquir...

Let me preface this by saying most alums or fans would be envious of uva every year. Great program. With that said as an outsider it seems like they have a bit of a coaching issue. Offense looks stagnant under Cassesse and Lehigh went to tournament year after he left. Their defense may be “Jurassic...

Have to respect Coach Tillman, the greatest lacrosse coach of his generation. In the pregame interview, Coach Tillman was already talking about midgame adjustments. The National Lacrosse HOF should have a display of his iPads. Between Maryland’s early exit from the B1G tournament and the NCAA tourna...

Congrats to all, especially the six Blue Jays:

Smith (1st)
Collison (3rd)
Martin(3rd)
Angelus (HM)
Degnon (HM)
Ierlan (HM)

Well deserved.

I'm keen to see how this nets out for the ivies who don't give athletic scholarships. It's a wonder how they've been able to be more than competitive in Lacrosse compared to other privates that do give 12.5 scholarships a year, but maybe that speaks to the affluence of student athletes who often co...

Been extremely busy with work this past week.

Did I miss anything?

Canisius stop acting like an Ursinus? I Hofstra report you to the administrator.

I know there have been a bunch of other rumors in this thread but not gonna add those to this list till they've been confirmed in some way — we were burned by fake news last year. https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/princeton-transfers-pick-carolina-michigan-rutgers-and-duke/63406 Brown : Connor...

No

From my perspective too many are scapegoating Assistant Coaches rather than placing responsibility where it belongs

Completely agree.

Yep! Another year, another post from me with this question. However, while I don't want to "count my chickens before they are hatched", I like to think that Brown, now that Jon Torpey is their man, will be higher on the list in this discussion. What a great hire! Johns Hopkins! DocBarrist...

Congratulations to Coach Torpey!

I know there can;t be trades in the college game but can we keep Potomac River through the portal and maybe have someone transfer out? Great analysis on Collison's yesterday I've got notes on every offensive possession - this is what happens when you have a newborn who refuses to sleep at night unl...

Collison didn’t push the SSDM matchups this season because that was not the role he was assigned most of the time. Collison is unusual because he is a big man who has excellent stick skills and body control … like a lot of Canadian players, he works well inside. His role was to set up a dodge for s...

Phillips and Marquis had opportunities the last 2 years and did not show anything. please point out the opportunities Marquis had this past season I missed them 06's biggest cardinal sin apart from serving as the new host for RFK Jr.'s brainworm is that he's boring. This is a line we've heard quite...

I hope everyone is ready for a 7-5 final because if DU stands a chance in this game they are going to have to value the crap out of possessions. DU is a BORING game on TV. Only DU can make ‘cuse and Cornell games pedestrian. I was at the Cornell game this year, which DU won 17-16. Hardly pedestrian...
