LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Gettysburg / Dickinson Game? I was not able to watch it, tried to follow on twitter, so I have no idea there even was a bench penalty. If it was on the Bullets I'm sure Coach J will clean that up he doesn't tolerate that type of antic very much.

I have to believe the Bullets should be in the 9-12 range.

And I wanna be there. Whatda youse guys soive? The NESCAC nabobs lay out smoked salmon while the blue collar Gulls serve hot dogs and beans.

Centennial I'm guessing pulled pork and fried scrapple sandwiches with potato salad (Amish, egg, Philly and German) sides. Put a little Old Bay into your pickle juice and I'll have Bullets, Sho'men and Dickinson #s 1, 2 and 3 on my Poll.

MrLax, I am with you 1-8 although I might make a few minor adjustments... 9-the rest it seems as though you have been tailgating to much already.

Recently there was a quip on Twitter from one of the talking heads of lacrosse that is DIII heavy on that platform. He said something to the effect of “Hobart and Hopkins, you’re DIII schools... Come home..”

I don’t see it happening, and I don’t know what sort of paperwork mess it would entail for those on scholarships etc, but it’s fun to dream. And it would be awesome.

In size, tradition, records etc. Hobart is D 3 and several years ago their President announced they were returning there. Alumni pressure forced him to back off I think b/c they wanted to keep their rivalries with Syracuse and Cornell and the NCAA doesn't currently allow inter division games. Under their deal with the NCAA I don't think Hobart is allowed to give lax scholarships. Maybe one of the Hobart alums on this board can fill us in.

Reading the comments the last few weeks, as the losses pile up, one gets the distinct impression that long-time Hopkins loyalists are experiencing an ever increasing sense of inescapable post-empire malaise. The signs that everything is crashing down and the tradition is no longer salvageable are unmistakable. Recruiting is probably past the point of no return and the coaching staff has begun the process of eating its young.

The entrenched President and his minions, despite paying uninspired lip service to generate donations from long-term alumni, are at the very least totally uninterested in lacrosse as a D1 sport. In their heart of hearts, they pine for the day that the last vestiges of "lacrosse school" identity no longer impinge on their insatiable desire to be considered equal to the Ivies in academic reputation. You guys care far more about the program than they do or ever did. They come from a far different intellectual place and feel neither sense of pride nor even connection to the long and vaunted tradition of Hopkins lacrosse. As an outside observer, what is happening to Hop lacrosse reminds me of the scene in the movie "Tropic Thunder," where Tom Cruise elects to justify his jettonising of his formerly high-grossing star Ben Stiller who played Scorcher by saying the "The kids just aren't dressing up as Scorcher for Purim anymore." That is how Daniels sees Hopkins lacrosse.

Unless Hopkins experiences either a significant housecleaning in the upper levels of control or a forceful directive from Mike Bloomberg, the program will move to D3 within 5 years. I feel very badly for you guys!. You deserve far better!
