The med income in E.Setauket is over 100k, and the average home price is in the 750k range (with some homes over $10,000,000) not to mention it is the home of the most successful hedge fund of the last 30 years. The students that come from there could certainly be considered "preppy."<br /><br />Second, I don't see why LAX should hold any great university support than other two major men's club sports Men's Crew and Men's Rugby. Crew and Rugby are Olympic sports with growing popularity throughout the country, and would offer the same cache as Lax (games generally played by upper income/prep school types). I just don't see the need for our school to spend any more money on Lax at the expense of our other athletic programs. If I could choose one, I'd say crew would be our best cost/benefit. We already have the boat house, the students don't need scholarships (on average), and it raises our international appeal if we are successful at Henley, etc..CatabEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152594305758254312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-89022616148540149492013-03-06T08:15:20.370-05:002013-03-06T08:15:20.370-05:00And Stiffler would also go back and coach his HS l...And Stiffler would also go back and coach his HS lax team in "American Wedding"FakeShalomTfreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538243230924088249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-50031431706185484452013-03-05T22:45:19.213-05:002013-03-05T22:45:19.213-05:00Didn't Michigan have some great lacrosse teams...Didn't Michigan have some great lacrosse teams?

Political correctness is the "biggest duck in the room". A small group of radical feminists demand scholarships while thousands of men have to compete for them. Women's Lacrosse is a contradiction in terms. Just imagine women playing for the Jimmy Brown Syracuse team of long ago. The NCAA is actually contributing to the moral breakdown in society by encouraging radical feminism. Cheerleading could have been considered a sport. Is it any wonder that the NCAA would look the other way on major violations and then "backhand" St. Mary's for giving Aussies a place to stay on recruiting trips?JBQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344181644293746758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-73105899613558660282013-03-05T16:55:10.380-05:002013-03-05T16:55:10.380-05:00The big difference today from when the team was cu...The big difference today from when the team was cut was how much more popular the game has become in NE. There are high quality HS teams that compete on a national level. No Mass and Ct. lag behind L.I., Upstate NY and Maryland but the number of quality players coming out of HS in NE is growing rapidly. <br /><br />The NCAA has held the Final Four at Foxboro twice now and it was decently attended, especially in light of how far it is from the traditional lax hotbeds.<br />I think you have a far greater chance of supporting another D1 program in NE than you do football (Umass).<br /><br />I like your ideas about how to approach Bates in general. What I would be very interested in seeing is if students actually go to the games. Even though our team struggled we actually drew some nice crowds to Alumni for Saturday night games against teams like Holy Cross, UMass and Providence when I played. If the students are supporting the team and the alumni are supporting the team how long until the administration comes around?Laxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13095715892058832827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-14325045132724208722013-03-05T16:40:04.517-05:002013-03-05T16:40:04.517-05:00I'll stop short of calling baseball an embarra...I'll stop short of calling baseball an embarrassment to BC, but we have a far better chance at being competitive on the national level at lax than we do at baseball. Just take a look at UMass!<br /><br />Massachusetts is no where near the lacrosse hotbed as Maryland or Long Island, but the sport has grown considerably in recent years and there is plenty of home-grown talent to choose fromFakeShalomTfreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538243230924088249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-83056471756596934492013-03-05T14:59:40.990-05:002013-03-05T14:59:40.990-05:00ATL, you say: " Lacrosse -- although firmly...ATL, you say: <i>" Lacrosse -- although firmly entrenched in New England -- was still a regional, preppy game"</i><br /><br />1. The hotbed for Lax is is Long Island and Maryland. Yes, LAX is played throughout New England, but the epicenter is south of NE. Lax is the fastest growing team sport in the US. Even ND (Indiana) has an excellent team. UVA v ND drew over 10,000 fans last year (<a href="http://www.und.com/sports/m-lacros/stats/2011-2012/nd-uva.html" rel="nofollow"> SEE THIS </a><br /><br /><br />2. It is not a "preppy" sport. Go down to LI. Check out some Nassau County high schools; check out Ward Melville High School. Not preppy. Think more Methy than Preppy. Sure preps play. Preppy-ish towns on LI - Manhasset and Cold Spring Harbor, for example - excel in Lax. But it is well beyond a preppy sport, and ahs been for decades.<br /><br />3. <i>"For a long time no one really cared about Men's Lacrosse at BC"</i> BC Lax ALWAYS generated more interest than BC BASEBALL. Baseball was always a joke and still is an embarrassment to BC.<br /><br />mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.com
