Johns Hopkins - Towson

[Mr3Putt]

Besides championships there is not an area you can go to like Baltimore for lacrosse. Come in for the weekend. Go watch the best HS conference in the country on a Friday. Pick your flavor: At St Pauls, Gilman , Boys Latin, McDonough. Go out to get some seafood Friday night. Saturday, you can start at Loyola or Towson for a 12pm tilt . Always competitive games. In the afternoon hit UMBC across town vs a AE competitor . Then there is Homewood vs Penn St or vs UNC. Or, drive down to Annapolis and hit a Navy game vs Hopkins, Army etc. If you have women in the family there is always a 1pm face on Sunday. Im excluding some perimeter teams like Maryland because is don’t think is in the loop but very driveable (40min). We are talking for the area I’m mentioning 10 mile drives . You can’t do this anywhere else. Btw, the US Lacrosse Hall Of Fame is in town as well.

Virginia has equal claim on DC

Nope. Dc is embedded in md and md donated the land it sits on. Md also owns the Potomac River all the way to the DC shore. Georgetown was a Maryland town when the school was founded.

Just going by having lived on Conn Ave a little north of the Van Ness stop for 4+ years. Small battles aren't worth it.

[hmmm]

The Md schools have 74 national championships historically.

Oh, relevance means championships. I'd say a title from the 1970s is less relevant today than more recent titles, so going back to 2000:

NY: 5
VA: 5
NC: 4
MD: 3
CO: 1
CT: 1
NJ: 1

The OP was about how many good teams MD has. VA and NY have 5 but they're all from UVA and Cuse. MD has 3 but they're from 3 different schools which I think support the OPs point. NC has 2 schools that has won championships since 2000. Every other state has one.

By that logic UMD is equal to Michigan in football. Each have one ncaa era football championship. and yes..74 national championships will never be matched by any other place. Old Bay and Lacrosse is why the Lacrosse hall of fame is in Md.

I miscounted. The state of MD has 4 since 2000 but that still puts it at the same level as NC.

If we're talking about relevance, then I'd agree. Maryland football has been about equal to Michigan in relevance in recent years with the exception being last year when Michigan made it to the playoffs.

74 men’s championships most by far
15 women’s championships most by far

Home of the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.


Total domination .

For a state that has 7 (or a claimed 8) schools playing lacrosse, to be able to win the title only four times in the past two decades while other states can match that number with only 3 schools playing lacrosse (NC) or even exceed it with only 4 schools playing (VA), doesn't sound very dominant or relevant to me.

[Essexfenwick]

74 is more than 9.

[flalax22]

Tigers with new look offense,
Nick DeMaio, Kyle Berkeley, Luke Shilling,

a (finally) possible top level replacement for Alex Woodall,
Matt Constantinides,

and a very experienced close defense.

Shilling is a starter?

Yeah, but you have to subtract all of the Syracuse titles because Syracuse s*cks.

That leaves:

NY: 0
VA: 5
NC: 4
MD: 4
CO: 1
CT: 1

Dave is disappointed in you.

he looks a little disappointed in himself right there, to be honest

[10stone5]

Yes,
but its all about page counts and clicks

I was wondering when this thread was going to take off.

That look says if I had listened to the arm chair clowns on lax power/ fan lax I wouldn’t be wearing this stupid shirt

Especially, he should have listened to ‘06.

Virginia has equal claim on DC

Seceded in 1861 and never gave it back. No claim.
