I have a very low opinion of anyone who thinks Lacrosse (not the Box Lacrosse) is properly played indoors. Rain or Shine, mud, snow, sleet it is a good day to play Lacrosse. That is how the Native Americans that gave us the game played and that is how it should stay.

Sorry for being a knuckle dragger.

They also played to the death.  Which, considering we play Harvard, is not a terrible idea.

No Virginia jokes, please.

Have they moved the Lacrosse finals to Ford Field in Detroit?

(or are you railing against Syracuse and the Carrier Dome)?

And they didn't play on lined fields, didn't use a clock and 50,000 other things that make it difficult to make that point. The lousy artificial surface that we used to play on was much more a problem than being indoors.

And ice hockey is also meant to be played outdoors, on a frozen pond.

Not quite contempt, the are far too good for that, rather pity that they are stuck playing this great game in an indoor arena rather than under the sky as it was intended to be played.

True, but a March game indoors is not a bad thing for us oldies.

A guy on laxpower says there was some kind of problem during the postgame award ceremony Sunday.  Was anybody there who can tell me what happened?
