that semifinal game on saturday was one of the best games i have seen in any sport.

Definitely one of the best games ever played. In any sport. And it was in the semifinals. Imagine what a basketball game of that level would be like in the final four.

This weekend was a great showcase for NCAA Lacrosse. 45,000 at the championship game in Phillly. Men's lacrosse is only second to Men's hoops in championship game attendence in the last two years per the NCAA. And yes, that Hopkins game finish in the semis was awesome!

Oh, did you know, the sport is spreading west like wild fire, even in Texas?

What was the final score? When I had to leave it was 3-1 Duke.

IMO..
Lacrosse is a game rich kids put emphasis in so they could be good at a sport...

the UVA-hopkins game was sweet, and i dont even watch lacrosse. who won the hopkins-duke?

It is the game that Jim Brown claims gave him the ability to be such a great running back. Jim Brown was an all-america Lax player

Hopkins 9-8.

Jim Brown was also quoted as saying that he would have played professional lacrosse over professional football if he there was a choice back then.

He also played in a time where there were less regulations. He would hold the stick against his chest, lower his shoulder and run through opponents. This type of move was outlawed because of him.

we had a LAX team at my high school that was pretty good. The A&M team is a pretty good club team too from what I hear.

So what about golf, tennis, etc.... come on, that argument doesn't hold water. Yes, many of the kids who play are fortunate, but no differenct than most athletes at major DI programs that play men's or women's soccer, baseball, tennis, and golf.

Also, the quality of athlete playing lacrosse is very high. 6'4 225lbs defensemen that turned down football scholarships, athletic middies that turned down basketball scholoarships, the list of multi talented athletes that played a variety of sports at a high level, but chose lacrosse is very high.
