From what I recall, the championship tournament would get some replies and attention.. but I don't think there's enough for anything now.
I'm a big fan and I always watch whenever it's on TV, though.

Yes
The best athletes aren't playing lacrosse. Not on the professional level at least.

What about him? Jim Brown played lacrosse at Cuse when he wasn't busy dominating in football , basketball, and track.
He was a stud football player who happened to dominate the lacrosse field in his spare time. Obviously the competition was far inferior ahtletically compared to the great Jim Brown

Don't even engage him, people who dislike lacrosse like that won't change their minds so whats the point.
Do most of the great, young athletes choose lacrosse? No, not at all. It's not as common, the professional leagues aren't comparable to major sports, the NCAA doesn't get anywhere near the exposure of other sports, so the interest level will be much lower.
Are there very good athletes who play lacrosse? Yes. So who cares if they didn't want to play other sports? I've never heard someone watch a lacrosse game and say "yeah well if football players played it would be better". In fact, the overwhelming majority of people I know who never watched the game ended up really enjoying it once they learned the rules and watched a lot. Unless you live in areas where lacrosse is extremely popular, most people are never exposed to the game so they just see it as "people hitting each other with sticks".

the coming generations are choosing lax over baseball, in the coming years its gonna be a whole lot bigger
its like Football in the 30's and 40's College level is sooooo much more popular than the pros, and some players don't go the pros, and just pursue another career.

Bringing this thread back to life. I watched so much lacrosse this weekend. Good to see Syracuse win the Big East championship and be in the tourney. They were going to turn it on sooner or later. They were just reeling but they found their bearings. Desko is a very good attackman. Would really like to see Denver get an at-large bid.

Who's your boy on the Syracuse lacrosse team?

Not true at all. Around me Lacrosse is the biggest high school sport and an easy way to get a scholarship to college...Originally Posted by NooEra

I'll be in Boston for the final four. Great trip for any lacrosse fans. Cheap, good seats, good tailgate

I have to go to the final four. It's right in my own backyard! I haven't seen a live lacrosse game since I played in high school!
