I'm sorry, but these post season tournaments stink. It's ridiculous that a mediocre team can steal a bid with two good games on a neutral field with no fans that erases an entire season for other teams. It was a very exciting season for Cornell with some of the most memorable games I can remember. ...

Two crucial games teams done and on the bubble will be watching: Nova / Gtown - not sure it’s as interesting as the Big east likely gets two. Denver and the winner today. Loser out? Michigan / PsU more interesting Does Michigan have a chance if they lose close? Their RPI sits just behind Yale and Co...

The style of this PSU offense with all the motion reminds me of the MD offense a few years ago. The studs got all the attention but the system and motion was the star.

The Degnon track down was incredible. The kind of play that will inspire teammates. Nobody (except here) will talk about this play but you could make a case it was one of the most important plays last night from a guy who doesnt get thought of as a burner, speed wise. That was a hell of an effort. ...

this 1st half pretty strong evidence for what happens to offenses when you have a conference full of 6 foot 4 gorillas ready to rip your face off. Could’ve just looked at the last few years of Nick Myers offense to figure that out too. Michigan - Rutgers was broadcast on the Big 10 network last nig...

Or when you don’t have anyone who can beat their guy

Very frustrating team. They make so many highlight reel pass attempts, the problem is they only hit on 50% of them. I would have like to see more Cohen initiating from up top with Hopkins pressing out. Beohm had too many avoidable turnovers. Another year where the goalie play is sub-par Blue Jay ri...

IL's midseason AA list has: Smith 2nd team Collison 3rd team Martin 3rd team Angelus HM Aviles HM What do you guys think of that? It's fine. Angelus should be higher, but he's been disrespected all year. I'm surprised he even made HM to be honest. Brett Martin was 2nd team preseason and is now at 3...

Basic question - when folks talk about RPI or a certain school has "5 top 10 RPI wins" - the RPI that matters for ALL is end of year RPI, not what they were when played, correct?

Some mention earlier on this board about Zupicich - another AA performance yesterday w 4 CTs.

Zawada to Duke NC native, good for him. Will they run him at attack and bump Mcadorey back to middie? Or, is Zawada inserted into the midfield from day one? Crowded attack room. Zawada, McAdorey, and ONeill can all dodge from up top. I would assume McAdorey is headed back to middie, there's no othe...

Raise your hand if you had "Can Michigan upset Duke in a second round NCAA Tourney game" on your bingo card of 2023 lax forum topics.

Clearing game needs serious help, again.
This team is honestly not that far away.
Just needs to stop shooting itself in the foot.

Hopkins is ranked 8th. I think people know they are good.

You make some good points. I am just hoping for the best, but not predicting much of anything now. I am as well, believe it or not. I want to see them do well. Praying for a W in conference play, would be amazed to get 2... I think the allure of UM as a school sells itself. I am sad the lacrosse pr...

Per Michigan twitter ᴇxᴛᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ Our program is thrilled to announce that head coach @CoachConry has inked a multi-year contract extension! Wonder what that contract says? If one or both assistants leave (and to be realistic, it seems like that will happen only if they get the jobs they are rumored to...

Bracket UMD 2-5 Mich Personally I think it’s 2. Rutgers 3/4. Hop/PSU 5. OSU At the risk of being ridiculed, I think Michigan will be closer to the "OSU of 2023" (team everyone ignored preseason but turned out to be pretty decent) than the bottom of the B1G. They should have everyone back....

Because if you're a 1st Team AA Penn grad looking to get a bogus one-year "management" degree, places like Duke and UVA (or Notre Dame, whatever) are way more attractive than Rutgers, no matter how well Rutgers is doing this year. I have a question that's probably going to sound facetious...
