Yes. My mistake. Make that a WHOPPING 3 trips…TucoBPJMRamirez wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 9:07 pmMiddlebury beat Union in Austin, TX in 2023.

These are the games outside of the New England/Upstate NY region that they’ve had (or even scheduled in the cancelled year) since 2019. Union @ Sparks Md 2024, Mustang Classic 2019. That’s it. 2 trips. A little more digging and I found that over the same course of time Middlebury women’s lacrosse has been treated to 9 distant regular season away game trips, spanning NJ, PA and MD.
Is it possible they could be sharing the same lopsided budget?
Maybe there is a funding discrepancy or maybe the men's lacrosse coaches have decided that it's unnecessary to make their players endure 6+ hour bus rides and multiple flights since their schedule is already packed with top 20 opponents and, as someone already said, they'll pull an auto-at-large if they finish in the top 4.
The real question is why you have such a (totally non-gay, totally healthy, totally normal in all ways) hard-on for Dave Campbell.
At least you can see that 9 is more than 3, and that’s over 5 years. So there IS a disparity, not MAYBE.
It was said in a previous post that they had a blast in Texas, so I would hope the coaches aren’t trying to prevent them from unnecessarily “having a blast.”
In any event, I didn’t even know that was the coach’s name until someone said it in a post above. But if he does the scheduling, yea, not a fan of the “just enough to get into the tournament,” not worried about the player experience, schtick.
