I can assure you that other teams have much deeper pockets than FSU. The team has as high of dues as most of the western teams. Comments like deep pockets are uncalled for and don't reflect on the actual work of the team and the lacrosse community in florida. Its easy to make these assumptions because the team doesn't post on these boards and has better things to do than defends its self from stupid accusations. People want to come to FSU lacrosse unlike other places in the USLIA on there own. Naturally FSU has more to offer but i assure you it isn't money. That is just a cheap shot against a group that isn't going to give you the time of day to honor it with a comment. I even waited to comment on this because i thought it would go away, but this seems to have turned FSU in to some kind of villain in the SELC. Sit back get beat and complain all you want but in the end nobody is really going to care about what the last place team says.
So, you don't have a $300,000 field named after a multi-millionaire head coach who just happened to be the "chief financier" on the facility?
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against it - more power to you, count your blessings, wish we had one, etc etc...
I don't think there was anything malevolent with any of the previous posts, you just seem to be very sensitive about the fact that your team enjoys a lot of financial benefits that other teams would love to have. It was a lighthearted conversation before you climbed up on your cross... you just go ahead and let us know when you're ready to come down...
