This is why I don't bother to post anymore. Same old cliches....

If I were a Rutgers fan I would like my chances against the Hounds tomorrow. As I Hound fan I think we need to play a near flawless game which we haven't done in some time. I expect to see Coach MVA mix things up tomorrow on offense to mitigate the Rutgers transition game. Some of that may include l...

There is a reason the Hound's RPI is so high and their SoS is among the top in the nation right now. So far I'm encouraged by the week over week improvement. The Hounds played well enough to be in the game last week. Three things to improve this week- clean up their shooting, get a little more cons...

The Loyola faithful filled the stands on Saturday. It was a great crowd and the students and fans were really into it. I hope the enthusiasm returns this Saturday.

GO HOUNDS!!

Yeah - all good points. Saw some really nice plays watching the recap. Dixon is an awesome announcer. Consistency. We had our chances several times with over 5 minutes left. Defense held and got the ball back to the offense. Credit Hopkins swarming defense making stops and pushing transition. 4 Save...

I’m hoping they don’t trip coming off the bus. If scrimmage results are an indication of
Level of play I’m hoping for the mercy rule

And that’s why it will be so important to steal goals from the Terps offense. Gotta make a lot of saves. Only way to win IMO. Hounds will have a raucous crowd there. Gonna be a good game - as long as Hounds don’t get blown out.

Sorry Loyola fans. Loyola got hammered by Richmond and 'Cuse in recent scrimmages. The Terps at home will do to the Hounds what they did to High Point. Terps by 8-10. Hmmm, not sure how important scrimmage results are. I don't have a dog in this fight (or a tortoise in this race), but if I had to b...

Guys, everyone needs to remember these are just scrimmages. For all we know some guys didn’t play, some guys may not have been properly motivated, or maybe Syracuse is national championship level team. All that we know is that this team returns all of the pieces for a squad that should have been in...

So how about this … give them some time. Not making any excuses but since you brought it up about Benus and Sally. I would say that Benus is rusty since he was not in school last semester. We know what he can do when he gets back into lax shape. Not sure how many days of practice Sally had at Richm...

So moving on…. Hounds have had lackluster results in the past two scrimmages. Did they take 2 steps back or did their opponents take 2 Steps forward? We’ll see. Maryland on Saturday. Given how these two teams have played recently it could be really ugly for the Hounds, a little ugly, somewhat ugly, ...

I think Houndace meant the bus ride down on Friday. But whatever…

I just hope it's not raining or cold

Thanks lax fan. Numbers do matter for comparison. I'm keenly interested in which middie steps up to replace Swindell's production/leadership. I'd also love to see a middie jack up some points like Drapeau did - that's certainly not reflected below when the middies are tallying 1 point per game. Havi...

Well I hope weather cooperates and the scrimmage is open. Would love to see the New Hounds play. Have heard essentially the same thing about Lindsey. Comment is always, "he's good, really good". I know some of the goalies were dinged up this past Fall and others got a chance to play. Hear ...

Scrimmage vs Richmond on Saturday. Weather forecast calls for high of 31 and slight chance of snow. Question is will they scrimmage in the Bubble or on the Turf? Inquiring minds want to know

We saw what this team was capable of during the last five games and I hope they pick up and improve from where they left off last year. They should, but you never know. As the article points out, 2012 was a different year. Loyola wasn't even ranked so they had a lot to prove. They were the hunter. A...

Heard that Joey Kamish was back on the practice field. That's good news!!! Think abut it - Lindley, Olmstead, James. Kamish, Poitras, Higgins, Wigley, Bateman, Lindsey, Decker, etc...
