For anyone who's curious about the history of the college game and the epic geographical, demographic, and strategic shifts that have taken place in the sport -- especially for us oldheads who were impacted by the North vs. South divide that defined lacrosse for so long -- this is a subject that we've been hungry to read more about for a long time, and Swezey is a great journalist and writer. And yeah, folks who are in the Cornell, Maryland, and Johns Hopkins extended families will take a special interest, for sure. I'm guessing, for example, that it may help explain in part why us older Cornell alumni (or as Swezey called us, "barbarians at the gate") are still sometimes a cranky, paranoid lot.
