BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Long Island Top Guns Lacrosse

TG 2020 team , undefeated on the season, multiple Brine All Americans , best player in the 2019-2020 age group, excellent coach. Say what you want but I believe this group can beat any 2019 team out there, I hear have asked the 19s to scrimmage and they want nothing to do with it.

Give it a rest, you have one player who never leaves the field and is easily your best player( as the kids get older usually these players get caught and passed by the pack), and the rest of the team rides on her to wins in close games.The second half of the team is below average at best. As far as beating 2019 teams no chance against any top teams , would be B level at best.Not one of your players except that kid would start on 2019 black.

"With all your great lacrosse knowledge to bad you still can't read a schedule.At the Grind there are two divisions in the age group Grit and Shred. Each division has 2 Pools A & B the winners of each play for a Championship. But no sense in explaining you know everything"

Typical TG , go back and look at the schedule your TG black team is in the grit division which is clearly the lesser division ie other teams B teams and has an A and B groupings with a total of 11 teams. The other 2019 division is the Shred division which has 16 total teams with A, B C D groupings and clearly has the more competitive teams in it. National Draw your TG black team again elected to play in a week pool. The facts don't lie, my guess your boy BS will now say it was a mistake and will switch purple and blacks placement to save face, sadly we all know he really wants them in the weaker division , gotta get that team a championship somehow.

What age are you crying about? Win your bracket, meet them in the finals and beat them. If all roads lead to the finals how can anybody be crying, you sound pathetic.

Not crying donkey , just curious why your TG 2019 team avoids the better competition. But thanks for your useless input , all roads are not equal and the different divisions do not cross over so your TG black team can win the championship of the c level teams congrats.

Can you present an argument without name calling? Can anyone on this board? I'm so sick of it. I realize it's not just you, but it's becoming the norm and it just seems to suck any validity out of what could be a valid argument.

name calling because you have people come on here and just make non sense up, go ahead powder look at the schedules for 2019 and give your honest opinion , you will not do it , the reason why is because?

Maybe we can replace name calling with some proper English. ".. the reason why is because?" What the heck does that mean????

"The reason why is because I don't really care what's going on with a bunch of eighth graders."

Then stay out of it you complete homer.

And we have a winner, a person who can't even make an argument without name calling. Don't you know no one is ever going to take you seriously if you act like that?

Many other teams have utmost respect for TG but wonder why the Black team plays other clubs second teams, which of course means they will win the division. The Grind is another example. Sure in the playoff you may win against that division, but shouldn't you wait till you get there? Pretty weak that you have to duck down a division. Doesn't do your players any good to beat up on teams just to win a championship you're going to win anyway. At least make it a competitive road to the title. Purple against other teams A teams (sacrificial lambs anyone) and Black against other clubs B teams. Not a way to get respect from other clubs though you will get that medal which I guess is the most important thing for you LI players.

UPDATE: I stand corrected. Just checked the Grind schedule and at least for the 2017, Black and Purple have been switched and are now in their proper divisions - cannot speak for other age groups. No question that playing up (for TG opponents) is always good for experience but destroying a team by 20 or so doesn't benefit either team. Weird that TG had to be harassed to make the switch but kudos to the management for doing so (unless it was the Grind organizers who figured it out). BTW: YJ and TG remind me of the Middle East conflict. Why don't you appreciate the fact that you have excellent programs and players in both organizations and call a truce. We in other states envy you and only wish we could be so lucky.

Have to say nailed that prediction. Now for a few more.
1) BS will limit the involvement of a F&F coach because of complaints from a few of the anointed ones
2) There wil be a bunch more recruiting retention trips to 11-12 year olds houses by TG management in a desperation move
3) Hofstra womens lacrosse will continue to struggle and the AD will soon realize there may be a recruiting problem when essentially the deepest pool of talent on the island wants little to due with the school in part because of the coaches ties to TG.
4) TG parents will continue to blame all their ills on CR conspiracy theories

You didn't nail anything, and you actually don't know what you're talking about! Sorry your daughter didn't make Black, but go back to YJ land, and annoy them some more...
