Preview of coming attractions
"don't criticize the players they're just kids, this will discourage future recruits and you're an internet troll"
-They get money to go to the school, aren't subject to academic admission standards, benefit in recruiting if their parents went there-not available to regular kids anymore, and chose to come to hopkins knowing the scrutiny and benefits of playing here.
"How do we endure the rest of the season"
-WOMBAT gifs, taking a shot of something responsible every time a change in defensive strategy is urged, and therapy.
"we still have a chance"
-yes because michigan and rutgers couldn't make an auto bid conference tourney, maryland is a more beatable program for us than loyola, and you never know with ohio state and penn state 2 schools where most kids don't even realize they have a lax program.
"you're mean to x player who is playing hurt"
-then he shouldn't play
"who should"
-I'm not paid to make that call
"Hopkins should go to d3"
-the players, coaches and administrators should be demoted, not the program itself. academics and past success aren't a reason to go d3.
"in the offseason we were promised accountability and changes, where are they"
-the same ones promised after 2009,2010,2012,2013,2016, and hah you must be new here.
"why is X still playing after years of suck?"
-because these players spend years in the program first as recruits, then as players and the coaches know them as people and relationships>winning.
"should x be the next coach?"
-what past qualifications/credentials do the administrators have making that call show they're the ones who know what they're doing?
"Hopkins fans are unreasonable, this isn't 2005 or 1995 or 1965 anymore, there are more talented kids and more programs with resources"
-tell that to nick saban and every coach chasing him.
"what happens to future recruits"
-xanders addressed this, they fell in love w/the school not just the coach and the current roster is littered with the career carcasses of kids just like them that didn't live up to the hype. I don't want top 100 recruits anymore I want 1st team college all americans.
"does daniels care about raising money, woke politics, and 234342342342 other issues more than lacrosse"
-absolutely. If it was up to him+woke higher ed today I doubt there'd be a program tbh. Look at their agenda+look the socio economic makeup of the game/its fans.
"who is the current ad?"
-probably a lovely woman who supports the Presidents woke agenda, has no record of making these kinds of hires, loves talking about the summer research exploits of womens xc team members, is great w/donors and would be perfectly content w just making an ncaa tournament every few years.
"you're an internet troll"
-if your kid could play and gave sustained effort I'd be the first to praise him
"Kids/coaches don't want to come to hopkins. The fans are mean, the city is violent, the grades are tough, the women are ugly"
-how many yale coeds have you seen in the swimsuit issue or people that have said new haven is beautiful in february?
"why is hopkins still on espn"
-why is the nfc east on mnf/snf/late sunday game slots. because history/personality/tradition>flavor of the week.
