On the last few pages of Sports Illustrated there was occasionally a little lacrosse news. Those were the first pages I'd go to. You got to see a condensed version of the NC game on TV too...60 minutes, commercials included was all you got. Saw it long after it had been played. We've come a long way, baby.CU77 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 8:24 pm Yes, the fact that so many games are viewable now is amazing. I'm old enough to remember being out here on the West Coast, and my only source of lax info was a short list of scores in the Sunday New York Times at the library.
And I walked miles through snow to school too!
Was glad when the Big Red went out there and played and you could go see them.
Miles through blizzard conditions was a ballbuster!!
Also, many (most?) of the best known posters were parents of D1, D2, and D3 players who came on to be able to follow their kids, and to report scores and games to other parents and fans who couldn't be at games in person. Then the HS boards became REALLY active for the same reason.
....it was one step up from hearing the game on the radio. And it was one of those things that made you think that this new "internet thing" wasn't all bad.
Live Action Game Results !!
Those were the days my friend …
