"End of YJ" lol, That is a popular quote on this thread, every year, year after year, after year, after year, after year........... so is "CR is selling the club" year after year........ But nothing ever changes. Seriously, 723 pages of this thread dating back the better part of a decade, still the same predictions, to no avail. I have been at this for many, many years, long before BOTC started, every year every predicts the collapse of YJ. Yet in the last ten years all they have done is gotten stronger.

Why is a top lax school not an accomplishment if that's where your kid wants to be? Just asking

hello all. new to this. I see grown, fat, unathletic, men with sweatshirts on with a big YJ on it??? Does the YJ stand for anything. They mostly drive 10 year old beat up cars if that helps. Thanks for your assistance. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Because lax ends after college, and it is way more important to have a degree from a top university than to have a ring that no one cares about but you!

Northwestern? Who's that? Oh yes that's the has been lax program in that armpit of a city in the midwest. But they have great academics!

Oh no, not the Northwestern guy again!

Oh no, not the Northwestern mom again

I knew I could get him/her to rear its ugly head again. Hahahahah!

Not so sure about that.
They will be good again this year!

11-10 is good?

So who does your daughter play (sit) for, since you have so much to say? Must be fun for her cheering from the bench. What a tool you are!

Don't waste your time. He's just a troll w nothing going right for him or his daughter. It makes him feel better to tear down others.

my kid plays on a low D1 that will never compete for national title, and I have no delusion that she is any better tan she really is. On the other hand, just because of that does not mean I can't have my opinion of the sport, and that opinion is that NU is over rated and was given a gift of a tourney bid with a sub par year at 11 - 10. Thay have not really added any impact players and there prospects don't look good this year, bit we'll see. Other teams played very hard schedules and did much better, but NU got a bid because of past performances, I don't think that will happen this year if things go the same this year

Your daughter must have played defense. You're very good at it too.

What's your beef with that particular program. Clearly you have a problem with it. is it jealousy? Seems strange that you have a low d1 player (which equates to D3 of course) who very likely is not at as strong an academic institution as NU, since very few in the bottom of D1 r. Why do you lash out? I have a D3 daughter whom I'm very proud of. She's at a great school, having a great time and playing some fun, competitive lax. She and I both have fun following a friend of hers who is on the Northwestern team currently. I root for her as I root for my daughter. They had different opportunities and are both really enjoying their experiences. I'm not jealous of the Northwestern girl. She's a great kid and a great lacrosse player. And whether she wins a National Championship or not, she is playing at a far higher level than my D3 daughter, and that is ok. Why do t you name your daughter's team, and we will analyze all the wonderful attributes of that situation. You know, whether it's in a good location, has any talent, whether the girls get a good education etc. you're quick to denigrate others, why don't you put it out there? I'm guessing LIU Brooklyn. Probably pissed that the best player by far from your team transferred to NU last year. Canadian who didn't know what was what until she saw the light?

Yes, I'd love to hear where the duches daughter goes also. Those who attack other programs are usually gust jealous or bitter, or maybe both. Sad

Yes, D3 is terrible. Low D1 is terrible. Unless you went to Northwestern in the armpit of the midwest, you're terrible. It's all VERY VERY terrible. But NU is coming back! Any day now ... any day ... you'll see!

Lax is over Dad. It's okay. Breath. Your daughter is free now. Except for the debt. She gets to keep that with the NU diploma. It's all very exciting and terrible.

Nobody said you can't have an opinion about the sport. That's not what you do tho. You instead troll with statements like "armpit of a city" and "has been lacrosse team" and "NU guy is back hahahah I knew I could bring him back out". Not sure who u r referring to w the NU guy thing but clearly you are trolling. i am a "NU guy" tho and familiar w the program and happy to debate their prospects. So, if you want to have an intelligent conversation about college lax, and in particular it seems NU because you seem to have a fascination with that program, that's great.

Lets start with your assessment of a gift tournament bid on past performances. That is not supported by the facts. The computer rankings had NU as the 8th best team in the nation at the end of the season, even after the shellacking they took at the hands of ND in the tournament (a team they beat pretty handily btw the month before). Why you wonder? Because they didn't just have a tough schedule, they had the toughest schedule in the country. If they played the average hard schedule that other teams played (say #7 SB who they beat) or Penn State (who they also beat) their record would likely be similar at 17-4 or 14-7. Then we wouldn't be having to use our brains too much to understand that they should be in the tournament.

Having said that, 11-10, even against the toughest schedule in the nation is a drop-off for a program that expects better. So let's look at this year and why they may actually be better.

They lost a couple key players to injury last year including their best two-way middie. Both are back and healthy, that will help. Their senior losses were not big. The two most important were good players, not great. They have a couple of incoming players that fill those spots nicely if need be, but more likely more experienced players will be filling those roles. What is probably not quite understood by you is that they were a young team last year. They will be back with most of their key players being more experienced.

Having said all that, I think they are a final 8 type team this year (maybe with some injury luck a final 4 team) but not a national champion team at this point. And that may be where they stay.

I also think they are highly motivated, talented kids getting a great education at one of the top universities in the country.

So having had a kid play there and graduate, I look at them with admiration, not ridicule. And thank KAH for being a great mentor for my kid.

My D3 Player has a National Championship Ring does yours?

You must be pissed that a girl from lowly L.I.U. Brooklyn came in and pushed your daughter furtherdown the bench stealing any chance of her seeing the field. At least you get to say "my daughter practices with NU"

Ha guess he was right. You try to troll but end up crying. Funny.
