For some perspective on the present JHU lacrosse situation, I went back and looked at what concerned Quint when JHU agreed to join the Big Ten in 2014.
ESPN reported that Quint Kessenich said his biggest reservation is the quality of competition in the Big Ten.
"I believe that teams – whatever the sport – when they
change conference, they ultimately play themselves to the level of that conference," Kessenich said. "It's kind of like a marriage. After 20 years of marriage, how often do the husband and wife look the same? That being said, you're joining a league with teams like Michigan. We're not sure how they're going to look like in 10 or 15 years although all signs are positive. You're joining a league with Rutgers. Rutgers hasn't had any kind of success, has never been to championship weekend, and has had one quarterfinal appearance. I worry about putting yourself in a league with other teams who aren't championship caliber and ultimately as a program, you become just like them."
WOW!
Agree with Quint......always thought it was a bad move when Hopkins left the ECAC for Great Western league.
IS this guy for real?
Hey Quint, tough to have n$aa "success" when you don't get invited, in the first place.
In big boy world, Rutgers should have had Hopkins ncaa bid five years ago.
You can shuv your idiotic formula's for losers stuff you know where.........rpi
Rutgers beat Hopkins, twice, in 2016. Way better winning percentage. Lost to Terps BiG finals.
Rutgers had a winning % of .688, with a 11-5 record
Hopkins "winning" % was .571, a 8-6 record.
by the way, Quint, how did your Hopkins team in the first round, in 2016 ?
yeah, the "badda bing, badda boom" laxmafia exists, making sure your Hopkins heros stay, umm......relevant.
...or, go back to being "independent" like the ACC teams.......scheduling , and shutting out, the likes of Manhattan, Sienna & Goucher....just PROVING how good Hopkins is.
spare us the nonsense.......Q.
