Good Article.


A lot of love for UST, when they arent even the top d2 team in the state.............they are only 1-10 vs SJU since 2003. ha ha, cheap shot i know, :)

I'd like to know how we got completely overlooked in that article. That is not acceptable...

How about the fact that its a great article instead of the "what about us arguement?"

Everyone in the league could say the same thing....

Enjoy the fact that your state gets press.

Anything with speaking highly of UST in it, makes it bad. Even if it is press.

Pinball,

You seem to have a lot anger towards a team you logged about :43 seconds of PT against. It must have been an intense 3/4 of a minute.

Your above posts have managed to prove on thing... There will always be haters.

How about you take a second and realize that MN talent is finally being celebrated, no matter how exhaustive the coverage.

I was being pretty sarcastic with everything, and the article is a great example of how far Minnesota Lacrosse has come since even we started playing. It is honestly great to see articles about players like Hildy, Jake, Hurley, and everyone else who has done well on a national scene. It was just disheartening not to hear anything about the best D2 team in the state (based on the poll and record). :)

:43 was better then :00, I was just proud to be on a team with a winning tradition. Playing in two national championship games was some of the best moments a lacrosse player can have. (not too sure why this was taken as a personal attack on me, but i can take it)

When was the last time Jim Tressel got excited over a Micheal Hart article?

Jim Tressel doesnt mention Michigan in any statement other than that week during Michigan week....

He doesnt come out and say it "I think we are the best team in the Big Ten" - we deserve all the press.... He has bigger and better things to worry about - do you really think he even cares about media???

I dont think Colin A. is mentioned because he doesnt play currently...

Go easy on the personal attacks. You know Jon is not being serious.

I will point out that the coverage of UST in MCLA Magazine was also extensive and very well done. So was the article on Duluth's goalie.

There is certainly no lack of press for Minnesota Lacrosse.
