i'm sure faircornell and pizza will be chiming in on the quote.

I'm glad that he said something that was sportsman-like. I'd read his quote from the student newspaper that was particularly scathing with respect to the Committee.

Would you have a link to this quote or article?

I'm not very good in sharing links on FanLax. I need to upgrade my computer and (possibly) my phone. "ND Insider" May 8 has the article. If you Google "Notre Dame Lacrosse NCAA Tournament" it should come up as one of the featured articles. Basically, the coach says 'no one who's seen our last six games can possibly think that we don't belong in the tournament'. In my view, this remark coming from one senior person at a religiously affiliated university directed at another senior person from a religiously affiliated university seems a bit harsh.

"I don’t know how anybody watches us over these last six weeks and say that isn’t a team that belongs in the tournament."

This seems pretty mild to me, especially compared to how much screaming at refs Corrigan engages in.

Agree. If I were a Notre Dame fan, I'm sure I'd be upset as well. I don't begrudge them that. What I dislike in ascending order, whether it's from other ACC fans or ND fans, is (a) the knee-jerk and silly denigration of the entire Ivy League; (b) the sweeping condemnation of an RPI-based system by the partisans of a league that dined out on it at selection time for years; and, worst of all (c) the really ugly online vitriol, plenty of it steeped in misogyny, directed at the female chair of the five-person selection committee.

Agree on 1 and 3 (and strongly agree on point 3). Is there a lot of RPI condemnation as well? Because RPI ain't what did them in; It was a committee smart enough and brave enough to look beyond RPI.

Though I will be rooting for St Joes as stupid fans like us do like to bathe in the glory of our conference brethren no different than SEC football fans claiming dominance because of Alabama.
