Re: Off-Topic- Will PLL Make It Big And Draw Great Crowds For Years?

I also think some people that think MLL is going to fold and merge with PLL don't know a lot about the business of sports in lax and in general. MLL has people with a lot of money. I don't think they're going down without a fight, and that fight will last longer than people think. They'll get angry...

Re: Off-Topic- Will PLL Make It Big And Draw Great Crowds For Years?

A couple things: The discussion of NBA vs NFL is missing the point, which is partly due to my post. The point I was really trying to make is that the NBA is growing in popularity and accessibility because of its ability to market its stars and engage with a younger fan base online. That is what at l...

Re: Off-Topic- Will PLL Make It Big And Draw Great Crowds For Years?

Is the barnstorming the long-term plan? Because I don't see that working for a team sport for long. The league's better player deals will keep the talent coming, but even Marianas Trench deep pockets want to see payback eventually. And can we give props to MLL? Much criticism is valid, but the leag...

Re: Off-Topic- Will PLL Make It Big And Draw Great Crowds For Years?

Well I never said they sucked because that is obviously not true. The difference is that Pannell and Thompson are really the only MLL players who aggressively market themselves and that is exactly the value that the PLL gives their players - a platform to grow their brand and in turn grow the sport...

Re: Off-Topic- Will PLL Make It Big And Draw Great Crowds For Years?

I think you guys are way off base. The PLL is gaining more attention in its first year than pro lacrosse has gotten ever in its existence, and its precisely for the reasons you guys talk about as evidence it can't last long term. Lacrosse loyalty across its fan base is mainly tied to college teams a...

Re: W&L vs Hampden Sydney 3/23

Excited to see some nitty-gritty ODAC action. Doesn't matter who is ranked higher because anything can happen in these type of rivalry games. Interested in seeing the level of conditioning for the Tigers, seems like the past couple of years they've had some starting players with a bit of a "pa...

Re: W&L 2019

I like how the team is moving the ball, and their feet, on offense. Seems like the coaches are still working on finding their combinations at all positions except G and close D, I'm sure that will slow down a bit. Love how Huber has been playing at midfield. He has great speed and a sneaky shot. It...

Game Talk: W&L vs WAC

Big chance for the Generals to bounce back and get into a groove heading into the meat of the season - March. With AJ's status up in the air, I'm looking for a big time team win. Limiting unforced turnovers will be key, as just a few more possessions and this team could theoretically be 3-0 over 3 t...

Re: GAME TALK; W&L vs Denison

I’m looking at a few things this game... 1. Who will create to get the wheels turning on offense? We’ve seen teams deny AJ the ball the first two games (and let’s be honest it’s going to be a theme this season). I expect the same from Denison without the alpha cover guy down low this year. Say what...

Re: GAME TALK; W&L vs Denison

Gennies gotta get downhill and draw slides from the midfield. Bear down, be a threat, make the hot man make a decision so it isn't so easy to deny 21 the ball. They've got the horses, let them run! Good guys 11-9

Beat your man, score a goal - number 1
