I think that Jacksonville may simply be in a bit of a slump as a team right now. Recently, they have not looked that impressive.

Would Michigan be better than third in this conference?GaitsRightHand wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 9:56 amTo be honest, I don't think highly of Michigan (especially not the HC) but I think Michigan would be the #1 in the ASUN.

I think that is is finally very realistic to say a big YES!!GaitsRightHand wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 2:14 pmWould Michigan be better than third in this conference?GaitsRightHand wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 9:56 amTo be honest, I don't think highly of Michigan (especially not the HC) but I think Michigan would be the #1 in the ASUN.

While I am sure the ASUN would love to have MI join the conference, I am really confused at what the point of this is? Are we saying MI has improved and could now compete with top ASUN teams and maybe finish as high as third? Is that based on the MD win? Is this saying that the ASUN top teams are now better and a team like MI would hope to finish in the top three? Either way it seems a rather random comparison. I do think that Utah and Jacksonville are well positioned to lead the conference and create a good rivalry while elevating overall conference play at the same time. One term I always cringe when I see posted is "Blue Blood" programs. I think ASUN is proving that new teams are rising which is good for the game.gymman1031 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 5:20 amI think that is is finally very realistic to say a big YES!!GaitsRightHand wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 2:14 pmWould Michigan be better than third in this conference?GaitsRightHand wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 9:56 amTo be honest, I don't think highly of Michigan (especially not the HC) but I think Michigan would be the #1 in the ASUN.

It was a bad game.Henpecked wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 6:07 pm I am not usually one to criticize teams on this forum, but I have to say that the Jacksonville v Robert Morris game was one of the worst exhibitions of lacrosse that I have seen in a LONG time. Each team had TWENTY ONE turnovers and most of them were simple passes or guys just dropping the ball out of their sticks with no pressure.
Not sure how the weather impacted this game in Pittsburgh, but it was brutal to watch.
Hard to believe that this Jacksonville team beat Duke this year. What an abomination.
End of a long season with both teams playing on three days rest in a driving rain/sleet storm. What did you expect? Both teams also like to push pace which also leads to more turnovers and penalties. Kinda is what it is.Henpecked wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 6:07 pm I am not usually one to criticize teams on this forum, but I have to say that the Jacksonville v Robert Morris game was one of the worst exhibitions of lacrosse that I have seen in a LONG time.
