BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) 2016 Women's College Lacrosse Season

Great! I'd love my daughter to get recruited there. GREAT school, great facilities and great coach. I don't think she could play there if they were #1, but might be able to if they r #10-25. Sounds perfect to me!

NU daddy and Hiller Amonte lover, it is just too much fun to watch you reply over and over. Way too much fun to watch you cling to relevance here on BOTC when you know that it is slipping away both academically and athletically for your princess. You probably pushed her HARD to go there and now you feel the guilt. Its a terrible feeling I bet. I feel bad for you, trying to hold on. Evanston, not too hot. NU, not too hot. Future, not too hot.

Whats even funnier is I do not have a kid in college nor do I want my kid to go to NU but I think when a flaccid moron like you come on here to bash college age girls someone should let you know how pathetic you sound. Let me guess your wife is a fat slob so you pick on the physique of young women to make yourself feel better. Your kid could not get into a top academic or lacrosse school so you degrade these girls because you are embarrassed of yours. Every time you post on here its just an indication of how pathetic you are. your new name will be flaccid little loser, FLL

I enjoyed the Syracuse vs USC game this afternoon... The stick checks at the end put a damper on things...I can't see a reason (nor think of any comparable rule in other sports) where the refs need to bring out measuring tape and measure the stringing.. #12 on Syracuse had her stick removed after the refs unwrapped some tape around the shaft... Anyone want to venture a guess what the issue was here.. The commentators were clueless... They thought it was a USC stick.. Even though you could clearly see it said cuse along the shaft..

^^as one of the moderators said on another thread "Don't Feed The Troll"

Mister Northwestern Hater is the definition of Troll

Ignore him and he will fade into obscurity....

you are so weird..

The USC/Syracuse game today was highly entertaining, much more so that the Stony Brook/Syracuse game. My opinion on some of your comments.

The stick rules are so complex, starting this year, that the refs have no choice but to break out the measuring tape. I'm not sure what the issue was with #12 of Syracuse but whatever it was it seemed Coach Gait was ticked off at the player more than the refs. The loose tape seems to to have exposed something.

The commentators were clueless. After the stick foul they said they were waiting for Trainor to enter the circle for the draw; it was USC ball by virtue of the stick foul. When play started there was no mention at all. It just wasn't this game either. The NC/ND game commentary was no better.

The pace of this game was great. Both of these teams will do well in the shot clock era to begin next year.

Here's the problem with women's lacrosse in college---

D1-3 of the four teams from last year's final four; thanks Penn St!
D3-the same final four as last year
D2-At least someone beat Adelphi, but Florida Southern lost to D3 Hamilton this year (their last loss, in fact)

I don't mind some dominant teams (you always need a bad guy in the mix) but if it's the same teams year in and year out. The sport will not grow.

Couldn't agree more. Only 5 different teams have won over the last 25 years. That's terrible for the sport and that's why ratings and attendance are terrible. Somehow more teams need to get into the mix. With the growth of the sport the talent level is even more watered down

you are so weird..

You're right about Gait, #12 never came back in the game even in OT.
I quess that's my point.. Do the stick rules need to be so complex? how much of an advantage is really gained by a 2 inch space over a 1.5 inch space.

You can bet if it was a disadvantage, she would have fixed it...Why the need for a ruler if it was the screw being illegal?

And there is no equipment kit with screws? Is it like the nerd with tape on his/her glasses?

all the stick challenges and violations was just part of the problem to me. I though the game stunk. lots of standing, horrible zone defense, not an entertaining game at all. the game is less fun every time I watch seems like. maybe its just me..

Game is broken no doubt. Not fun to watch, slower every day, more choppy. Hopefully the speed picks up with the shot clock and its not just a excuse for certain people to pad stats even more. TEAM GAME!!!!!

how about this? where are the fast breaks any more? SU v USC was just long, gut wrenching clears with ball carriers getting trapped and reversing, plenty of turnovers and steal by the ride. I know good defense counts too but that was pretty ugly

Do you think the fact that the athletes like every other sport are bigger faster stronger plays a role in how hard these girls ride ?
Everyone loves to come on here and talk and they have very little knowledge

If the bigger stronger girl can't run like the wind then I will take a less big, less strong girl with speed. Too much plodding and hacking in todays game. No can argue that the game isn't slower today then it used to be.

No one is saying they aren't incredible athletes but for the people arguing that since the girls are "ripped" they are better players is just silly.

Training in the gym non stop and having natural athleticism on the field are two different things

You honestly sound clueless. The players today are faster than they used to be its just that the defenders have become equally fast and athletic. Used to be that if you were not fast or skilled enough you play defense not so much now. The coaches want to win so if in their experience training in the gym equates into being better players they will do it.

Talk about sounding clueless. Good coaches do not put slow players on defense. Attack is the only position where you can get away with being slow . IQ and good skill can allow a player to excel on Attack with limited speed / quickness . Maybe bad HS and youth coaches put less athletic kids on D but good coaches know the importance of Defense and how difficult it is to play.

I think the shot clock is going to create an even more messy game than we have now. It is a 90 second possession clock; a good ride is going to give teams little time to set up a good offensive look. Result is going to be a lot of crashing to the goal, ill advised shots and turnovers. I've seen trial games with quality players and it is a messy affair. There will be times that the offense will dump the ball past the end line if they can't get a shot off just to let the opposition have an entire field to clear. It's messy.

How about doing away with face guarding? I just love watching a team's best player watch the game from near the sideline.

correct on all counts. the whole notion of shooting space works directly against a shot clock. the fact that theres 10 seconds left doesn't magically mean you have a any type of lane to the goal.. its a joke.

better idea would be ban the zone, make the restraining line higher, and how about 6 in the zone instead of 7?? these girls are all bulked up from deadlifts,squats and benching and there's no room for any offense at all. great players like Traynor can barely get a shot off. its horrible to watch..

Your lack of reading comprehension is astounding. Yes todays defenders are ultra athletic which is exactly the point .Watched many a girls lacrosse game in the late 90's and the defensive players were not as athletic, especially when compared to the middies.

Your obsession with women with muscles is creepy. Very creepy. The genie is out of the bottle, women will never again be the little China dolls you are so fond of.

Now that is funny. He is creepy.
