Message: [QUOTE="Shrmdougluvr, post: 3147144, member: 396"] So, i never played the game, and really only began following it a year ago when my boys started playing. In other words, my knowledge of the sport is fairly superficial. Having said that, I was a recruited D-1 athlete in another sport, so i can generally evaluate "talent." I've only been one other D-1 lacrosse game (Hartford at UAlbany) and the only other college game i've seen parts of was Mary Washington at York College (an RIT-type D3 program). This gives you some insight into my frame of reference. Obviously i dont know x's and o's, and i couldnt tell you about the defense. Here are my basic observations: [LIST] [*]Desko is definitely a CEO-type, at least he was today. But he was very watchful, and when he made a point, he had the player(s) undivided attention. More Boeheim than Babers; [*]Donahue was there and seemed to be mostly focused on face offs; [*]The coaches, even March, seem to have that dickish, sardonic style. Very even keeled. I'm fine with that, and the players seem to be as well; [*]Djordevic and Curry are the team's superior athletes, at least in terms of pure explosiveness; [*]Rehfuss, Scanlan, Trimboli, Berkman, and Seebold are all very smooth; [*]Cook was feisty - played well; [*]The SSDMs all look the part; [LIST] [*]Really, the team is littered with big athletic looking mids; [/LIST] [*]We were about three rows up behind the Orange team. Seemed like a good group of kids. Were appropriately supportive of one another, and heard nary a curse word; [LIST] [*]They really delighted in the play with Rosa on Dieball; [/LIST] [*]Didnt really notice a Tewaarton-type player (in the vein of a Powell, Fields, Thompson, or Spencer), but what appears to be the first attack unit and first mid unit consist of all very good players who should mesh well together; and [*]I think when you only play three timed periods, you should just refer to it as "thirds,' since "quarters" is not applicable. ;) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
