Maybe 91 realized they barely won anyhting last year and other teams are improving. Protect the brand. The 2029 Express team hasnt won anything either So disparage the tourney this year like Denver wasnt expensive?
Exactly
If they lose again they risk losing that air, those coveted names
Fun to watch the mighty fall
Imagine the LI teams banded together and went to the WS to represent NYS and Long Island and to show the rest of the country we are a powerhouse region? Yes, there's a lot of teams on LI, which dilutes the talent somewhat, but at the end of the day, there are 5-6 strong teams who could make a run. Are egos that big for 12 year old lacrosse that "Any Given Sunday" between these top teams is such an issue? Does it, matter if it's 91, Igloo, Express, Moose, Prime Time? They can all beat each other, and likely have.
