Hopkins is known for it's prowess in the Sciences, Pre med, etc. On the Lax team, a very popular major is Political Science. What type of career does one pursue with that major? please read, https://www.thoughtco.com/careers-for-political-science-majors-793109
Let's recap. Players lining up for: no money to go to a $60,000 a year school, a program in decline, and a Poly-Sci degree. I think the Finance major from a lesser name brand lax school may be a little better option, and may prepare one a little better for life, just my opinion. I think many like me might agree. Top recruits, with great grades, are bailing and heading to the Ivies. Seems like Petro IS screwed...

Nobody cares about MLL lacrosse, bottom line. Check how many spectators are watching if you want to confirm how irrelevant it is, and most of them are friends and family. Lacrosse is a fun college sport, and a useful tool to get into a better school than you may have been able to without playing. That's about it.

Nobody cares about it, true.

But it's still fun to play in the MLL if you're in your mid-20s and have your weekends free.

Dude with the Princeton FOGO fetish needs to drop a Xanax and chill out! Really not that big a deal. Take a deep breath buddy.

Wow - talk about a how a post about the guy with the anti-Princeton FOGO 'fetish' went so far flung . . . !!

Hey dingus, the Hop has the Whiting School of Engineering for undergrad/grad, the Carey Business school, ROTC program, just to name a few that you failed to recognize. One thing to banter about their season, but far cry to say not a great school. Actually, just a really silly notion. Now, if they go there and major in German Romance Language, agreed, probably could have put parent's money to better use. No offense to all of our German Romance Language scholars on here, of course..

Yea, unless you have a real job![/quote]

So then the only "real" jobs are those that would conflict with this schedule. Okay.[/quote]



A real job, one that will lead to serious income, requires weekend dedication, not jerking around with a dead end sport. I'm talking law school, investment banking, med school, etc. If you want to be the next Rob Panell.......go for it, doesn't seem the best path for a Princeton grad. [/quote]

Specialized building trades are where this generation should concentrate. Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Protection, Plumbing systems. Millennials aren't taking over these businesses from the last two generations, they didn't feel like working those jobs during HS and College, so many gaps have been left. Law, Med, IT, Investments, all overly-saturated with really smart folks, but specialized building trades are not being pursued, especially from the college grad/management level.

Cant find enough good engineers (in any of the above disciplines) that want to work in the building and heavy construction program and construction management fields. If you could get that type of degree (does require some smarts) and are an athlete, you could write a pretty big ticket for yourself. And you would definitely be allowed to be a lacrosse player part time.

again, yes Hopkins has some great programs, but look at the lacrosse roster, very few players have a real major. In fact, petro discourages it. He also could care less about a player's grades, I know a rising Freshman who visited there last year and he didn't even ask one question about his grades.

Petro's days are numbered.... keep recruiting 8th graders.....

And now with the new rules he will get more than his fair share of kids that are older.

It's Hopkins, and when in doubt Petro will get the edge. That's just the way it is.

Petro will get the edge? The edge on what? Way too much parity in lacrosse now. Hopkins will never see another national championship with him at the helm. Glory days are over...

Please tell me what the draw to Hopkins is? I don't get it. Awful location, subpar facilities and a bar brawler for a coach.

Lacrosse tradition, easy admissions compared to its academic peers, super unattractive women...

True. Crap campus, beast show. Good if you want to be DR. , when was the last time a Lax bro went to Med school?

But an awesome bar brawler! Did he kick your a$$ back in the day and it still hurts?

Ask Petro what his grades and SAT scores were.
Those answers are comical.

It happens often enough, just not very often at the typical factory programs (think ACC, Hopkins, etc.). Good luck getting into any med school when you're practicing lacrosse 40 hours a week (professional school admissions -- med, law, business -- are extremely GPA dependent).

How did we get on Hopkins being trash again? I believe anyone that goes there will be just fine, move onto something more interesting, like pocket lint.

Anyone know where to find a list of televised games for 2018? With the season starting soon, you would think they have made an announcement.

What about ESPN?

Any reports from today's scrimmages. A few good Match ups from top to bottom. How did your team look? Sure it's a scrimmage but if they looked good let us know

1st game of 2018 in the books.

Baptiste only went 50/50 with Air Force 😱

Ehhh did you see the snowstorm they played in. It was only mother nature that was able to neutralize Baptiste.

College lacrosse great to follow but see the crowds at the games totally empty . Look at crowds other sports of course football , but basketball , vollyball , women’s basketball , ice hockey , and wrestling draws in huge crowds. They say lacrosse biggest growing sport but where?? After college no future in it what’s so ever , MLL pays nothing and even with the 12.6 scholarships for college with 50 guys on the roster scholarships are rare , but you might listen to parents that drink the cool aid.
