First, thanks for the insights you all provide on this board.  I personally have learned a ton about the game just through reading here.  My lax experience (outside of watching a lot) is negligible, I volunteer coached my son when he was 7 and played one summer box lacrosse game in HS ("because your a fast guy, we'll keep you on the outside", they said, it'll be fun...I ended up up over the boards in the opposing teams bench).

However, I'm curious to know your thoughts after the 1st weekend of serious play.

[LIST]
[*]UNC - Made Denver look silly for 3 quarters with a really balanced attack and some solid defense.
[*]Duke - 2-0 Duke is looking a little better (but still some ugly play) than their traditional slow start and you cannot discount the Sowers factor.
[*]UVA - Absolutely destroyed a Towson team that was 0-6 last year but weren't even playing their full compliment.  They looked extremely deep and balanced as well.

No Orange, no Irish last weekend. The Orange have 2 more weeks before Army comes to town and the Irish have almost 3 weeks before they open.  Does the late start help or hurt?

Does the ACC cannibalize each other this year or do you think there is a clear favorite?  We've seen the polls, nationally Duke is favored, ACC coaches maybe stuck with an unwritten nod to last season and gave the Orange the nod but it seems like all 5 have very realistic expectations to play Memorial Day weekend.  Curious on your thoughts here?
