USN person, I've seen a few college games and it more resembles a high school soccer game, with players, parents and a few locals being the only attendees.  Oh yah girl's lacrosse teams outnumber boys lacrosse teams 2-1 in college because of title IX, so colleges are reluctant to add a guys team because they have to have an equal number of girls athletes as guy athletes and no one is going to cut back on the almighty football.  And look at the colleges that compete John Hopkins and Maryland, Syracuse.  yankee schools with enough people to put a desent team together. LAX will never go anywhere and you are wasting your time playing it because its just a WASTE of money.

REP that. but I think i got an idea who it is

[brentwood29]

Do you think the only reason we play is because we want to see lacrosse get huge? Why should everyone play the most popular sport? I personally play lacrosse not because I want to expand the sport (although I want to do that too), I play because I love to play. No matter how lacrosse does, I will always love to play it. You don't like it, thats fine. I see that you play soccer, well a lot of people here do not like soccer, but are any of them over on the board trashing soccer. You say that we are wasting time on this when the only time we talk about lax's future is when you brought it up. There is nothing wrong with having more sports teams. Sports are a very important to developing a youth. If someone has a sport to turn to it can shield away bad things. So no matter how small or how big lacrosse ever gets, we will still play because we like it. So really you are wasting your time because we don't play for the reason you think we do, we play because we love the sport. Because of that love we do things that will help expand the game, but everything stems off of that love of the game. You realize you are wasting time writing on a board that you have no affiliation with and all you are trying to do is bash it. And you say we are wasting our time by playing a sport. OK

"The college game is interesting to watch on TV, but the finals and semifinals are usually held somewhere in Yankee land and still thay barely get 5,000." Paid attendance at 2003 Division 1 men's championship game played on Memorial Day at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore (home of the Ravens)-37,944. Including the Division 1 semifinal games on Saturday (paid attendance 37,823) and the Division 2 and 3 championship games on Sunday, total paid attendance for the three day weekend was 106,861.

im not trying to bash lax. but soccer isnt a great sport to compare lax to... its not that big either

Since when did I say I play soccer? I do a bunch of posts on their b/c my schools team is pretty good. I never said that. Nice try guys but I play golf, which was the only sport I've mentioned, which is the most watched, most played, and most skillful sport there is. I've tried Lacrosse, and it was like a deversion to 1600. It's not going to catch on. All I ever said about soccer was that college lacrosse games looked like a high school soccer game, and they do. The problem with lacrosse and why it will never catch on big is

1. ball's small on a big field, can't follow it as a spectator or viewer on TV

2. all true lacrosse teams (MLL) are located in the NE

3. Long Island Lizards played in a high school stadium as long as TWO years ago

4. won't ever stand a chance in mid-west and majority of South-east

5. networks don't provide good enough coverage

6. limited to rich white kids

7. won't advace past high school game b/c high school players won't get offered schalarships

8. cost too much for colleges to invest in (ex. y most SEC schools don't have men's programs)

9. TITLE IX

10. TITLE IX

Since when is golf the most skillful sport there is? I am an avid golfer but come on, it is by far not the most skillfull sport there is.

[unanymous89]

zizou you ever watched or been in tough situation in golf golf's the hardest for these reasons

 

1. no course the same

2. no one to lean on or pass the ball too

3. no lie is ever the same

4. real golf has no mulligans, you play your bad shots

5. you don't play against 1 opponent, try 143 others

6. only .2 % of golfers every shoot an even par round

7. only.1 % of golfers are considered scratch (handicap)

8. no such thing as a pure natural, sure some have talent, but it took Tiger years before he got his swing where he wanted it

9. no one has a perfect swing, Tiger's swing has shown its no where near perfect

10. there has NEVER been a perfect round of golf and there never will be.
