    @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: @xhack: Right on, sirs.


    In my experience, the lacrosse crowd was a pickup trucks, chewin' tobacco and going bass fishing after the game crowd.


    The only things that were 'popped' were the tabs on Piels tallboys.

    @David Hume: In my lacrosse travels I've seen my share of douchebags, but repeating that point every time a post comes up on the subject is tired and old.


    And contrary to popular belief, many non-douchebags play the sport, too. (But acknowledging that will leave many commenters with nothing to say, right?)

    @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: If I have to preface every slanderous comment with "in my experience", its not going to be half as funny.


    There can be thousands of down-home, good natured kids playing lacrosse, and everyone else will still immediately equate the sport with spoiled Long Island Duke jagoffs.

    dodge the goalie and sneak in a bouncer.


    Usually, privileged white college kids are not happy when this happens, and it ends up costing them a week's allowance to straighten it out.

    Soon after, Cody Jamieson scored early in the overtime and, of course, Syracuse won. No way Cornell was going to rally after a failed clear, a missed ground ball, a catch in traffic, an over-the-shoulder pass tipped by a defender right into the stick of the game-winning sniper, who still needed to dodge the goalie and sneak in a bouncer.


    That was beautiful.

    I may be one of the only people who follow both college lacrosse and college hockey but just in case I'm not: anyone else think this was an almost paralell to the Frozen Four championship game?

    @xhack: Two schools no one cares about playing sports that no one cares about on ESPN 2. I see the similarities.


    Anybody else think the lacrosse goalie is the most ridiculous position in sports? Honestly, you get a fish net to stop the ball and you have no pads to make yourself wider. I predict there's gonna be an onslaught of really fat lacrosse goalies.

    If you mean "ridiculously awesome," then I agree. If anything else, then you need to explain yourself.

    @SwatLax: I mean ridiculous as in it's such a tough position that it is comical that they expect someone to stop a shot with a fish net. The goalie's best weapon is a white circle that prevents the offensive player from gettin too close to the net.

    @SynicVance2.0: I don't follow your logic?


    What kind of average save percentage would you prefer? The best goalies tend to average around 60-65% at the D1 level - and might save 80% against equal competition when they have a career day. The worst struggle to average 50%.


    Is hitting in baseball ridiculous because .300 is a good average? Is shooting a 3-pointer in basketball ridiculous because 63% is a NCAA record?


    I'm beyond sarcasm here, back to just being curious. Obviously I'm biased because it was something I put serious time into, but, to me, a great lacrosse save is as entertaining to watch as any plan in sports. So I'm interested if you've really watched much/any lacrosse or seen a good goalie in action.

    @DeepFriar: I'm sure all of the douchebaggery you've run into in Fairfield County and a liberal arts school in the northeast are reserved strictly for lax players. Head down to the Loft or Black Bear in SoNo next time you're home.


    I see your point, but have run into quite a few total jerkoffs in those capacities you described that didn't have a lacrosse affiliation.

    @wonderlic---myballs: it's true, the douchebaggery is more a product of the upbringing than the sport of choice. As a douchebag myself, I am well suited to judge.

    @DeepFriar: as a former college lacrosse player, this is a very close-minded statement that tends to be repeated here frequently. I had great times, and have many great friends from those teams to this day. If that makes me a "douche bag"...so be it. Since I played club level for a midwestern University, our teams were not comprised of any priviledged snots. Regardless if it was, the game is a fucking blast to play and watch.
