I think Hofstra got ripped in their seeding...

UMass will be lucky to get out of the first round, but their run in 2006 shows it can happen...

The Villanova loss killed Hofstra getting a seeded slot.

GO NAVY!

Go Johns Hopkins. They're not gonna win it this year. Virginia is waiting for them if they get out of the 1st round

I just lost all respect for you FSA! All Blue Jay fans must DIE!!!!!!


j/k

I agree, Virginia is pretty good. Its odd that the playoff committee did that to them. Usually they set it up so that it's fairly easy to get Hopkins, Princeton and Syracuse into the final four.

You should have lost all respect for me a couple of years ago when you made the lax threads on (Lags). Reason I started liking them back in the late 80's was they were a D-III school winning at D-I.

I'm guessing that we will be the 2 people lighting up this thread.

I've watched a little of that game...The Bluejays are not as good as in years past...Brown can still win this one...

[Fresno St. Alum]

Fuckin' Brown! JHU-Brown tied 11-11. Going to OT

[dbackjon]

Go BROWN!

[Fresno St. Alum]

Funny...


Nope, they are FCS!

[Fresno St. Alum]

Oh yeah I remember when Brown played Richmond in the 2008 FCS playoffs, oh wait they can't go cuz they're FCS in name only. Apperantly if any of the Ivy kids have a playoff game on the weekend they'll fail all their classes.

No luck today...

Princeton (the #1 seed) bounced the Minutemen out of the tourney 10- 7

Fresno, shaddup. Go pick some cucumbers or something.

Last second of OT, my Tigers fell to the stinkin Blue Jays the same way but in 2OTs.

FSA, if you ever met a person from JHU, you wouldn't be rooting for them.

Well Villanova got manhandled by UVA. Oh well. My buddy Reade plays for Brown, their done too. So looks like I'm done giving a shit about lacrosse for the year.

Haha. me too. Albany crapped the bucket at the end of the season and didn't make it in and Syracuse beat Siena yesterday so now I have no one to root for (Albany) and no one to root against (Siena).

I guess I could root for UMBC, but I just don't care enough.

[andy7171]

UMBC lost a barnburner to UNC 15-13, I think.

I guess I could root for Cornell. I'll jump on the UVa bandwagon, even though Towson plays them every year. After Cornell, they'd be the least HATED school left.

I guess I have to root for Hopkins as much as it pains me. Two of my highschool alums go there now. Didn't realize my highschool and town pumped out so much lax.

My wife's cousin might apply to med school at JHU after she finishes up at Seton Hall. I like her.
