Re: Lacrosse The Thread

Anyways, the weather didn't cooperate, but got to see some amazing goals and some pretty great hits. I don't have some big take away other than: UVA's offense is REALLY difficult to defend. I thought M did a poor job of figuring out the pretty obvious picks and about half a dozen goals game off of ...

Re: Lacrosse The Thread

UVA just signed the #1 player in the 2025 class, Brendan Millon. His older brother, McCabe Millon was also the #1 player in his class and is now a first-year at UVA.

I’ve been beating this drum for 20 years but it seems to be becoming more mainstream but yes Jackie Brown is vastly superior to Pulp Fiction.
I wouldn't say that, but they're different enough styles that I get preferring one over the other.

The UNC-Duke game in the Dean Dome was incredible. Such a great atmosphere. The Dome is famous for not being quite as boisterous and loud as some other top arenas, but that's not true at all when Duke is in the building. That was a ton of fun.
