Re: Netflix Suggestions?
Just finished the seventh and last episode of Bodkin, starring Will Forte. Pretty fun watch, though not great or anything.

Re: Random Politics
My first day of American History class, when I was a junior in high school, the teacher handed out unlabeled maps of the United States to each of us and told us to identify as many of the 50 states as we could. Not for a grade, but just so he “could see what he was working with”. I got almost all of...

Yeah, they were much improved in the back half of the season. Seems like the gaffer would get some credit for that.

Yeah, it's kind of shocking the difference in density of colleges out west if you're used to the east. Without looking it up, I’d guess it somewhat mirrors the density of population.

Interesting question...does California not have many small colleges? Would have expected more than 10 D3 schools in the state (12 d2 schools and 9 NAIA schools). Well, “many” is a subjective term, I guess. 26 D1 schools, plus the 31 “small” schools you noted above, plus 140 jucos, covers the bases ...

Re: Lacrosse The Thread
According to wiki, there are 3,892 high schools in California. You’re not really proving your point.
I’m a hockey fan, and I’ll freely admit that high school hockey is also a niche sport. Nothing wrong with admitting it.

There are rich kid schools all over the country. Nobody said there weren’t players coming from all over - that’s a straw man. The point was that lacrosse is not a commonly played sport among the masses except on the eastern seaboard.
