RyanMcD29 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Considering the lacrosse contingent on these boards have grown quite a bit over the past year, here's a thread for this season's college lacrosse season. Lots of teams start this weekend while some others started last weekend. Although this thread probably won't pick up steam until May, I figure it'll be good to have for those of us that want to comment on lax this spring Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Well hey, if I do end up going to Loyola, I'll have to start enjoying lacrosse, so might as well start now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Just Michigan for D1 this year. Marquette and High Point next year.I thought High Point's first season was this year... oh well. No big deal. It's actually nice to see more programs popping up. I'd like to see more here in the Midwest, but I have to think that Title IX and the lack of funds due to the economy is putting the brakes on it.

That name is reserved for National Bohemian and has been used since before Natural Light existed.

RyanMcD29 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Time to get on the soap box for a sec, but is it me or has ESPNU really downsized their lacrosse coverage this year? A lot of games are being moved over to ESPN3, and I mean good games like Duke-ND and Duke-Maryland, but by next Friday 4 out of the 4 games seen on ESPNU so far this year will have involved Johns Hopkins, with the only game really national-TV worthy being Princeton next week. I know all about ESPN's deal with Johns Hopkins (similar to Notre Dame and NBC), but it's kinda getting out of hand that they're the only ones being shown for the first 3 weeks of the season on TV. As much as ESPN's helped to grow the game, I think they're taking a big step back this season, especially with all the games being moved over to ESPN3, as well as some of the traditional ESPNU matchups not being shown at all this season (looking through the SU schedule Syracuse-Princeton's been moved to TWCS, though that might be Time Warner's call with home games, but there's quite a few other matchups no longer on the U) Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that next weekend's Syracuse-Virginia game will be on ESPN (I've checked). I understand that you aren't all that happy with the JHU love, but I have to think that with everything ESPN has on their plate right now, there isn't a lot of time given to college lacrosse.Check back in about a month or so and things might change.

RyanMcD29 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 True, I'm just a little peeved that compared to this time last year they're putting a lot of games online rather than on TV, though that is better than none at all. Having Cuse-UVA on ESPN will be good for the game tooSpeaking of TV, I can't tell you how much I wished the Cornell-Hobart game was on today. They're gonna be playing in a blizzard apparentlyLATE EDIT: Never mind, Cornell-Hobart PPD for snow and high wind. Guessing they'll either play it tomorrow or move it to the Carrier Dome for after Syracuse-Army or wait for sometime this Spring Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 It's a rivalry weekend in lax! Johns Hopkins-Princeton now (actually don't watch it unless you love a stall offense vs. a zone defense letting possessions go for 6 minutes), Duke-Maryland tomorrow, and the cherry on top Syracuse-Virginia Sunday Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Super-de-duper bump to this thread with conference championships going on this weekend. And yeah, this season's been absolutely insane. Just getting even more insane with what's been going on as of late, too. Currently Lehigh and Loyola are in the NCAA Tournament via auto-bids, but the bubble got really smaller with Notre Dame losing to St. John's in the Big East semifinals Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
