The PNCLL at the 2008 MCLA National Championships in Dallas

I have to agree with Thrilla on the "quit" wording, my inside source told me that "quitting" had become rampant.

While it is interesting to speculate about the reasons behind players not returning, the real point of Thrilla's list was that Oregon was a relatively young, inexperienced team. Really different from 2007 when there was a large core group of seniors who played the whole season, avoided injuries for the most part and took Oregon to the championship round.

Good thing SFU had all those seniors this year!

SFU must have one heck of a farm team.

I hear most of the team was raised by wolves. Except Manning, he's clearly a super lacrosse robot

Actually, Curtis Manning was artificially created by a mad scientist. In order to do this, the scientist sent a baby Manning into the most debilitating extremes of planet earth, where he would be killed by the harsh environment or vicious creatures that inhabit it. Each time, Manning's remains were harvested and used again, to create a better, stronger version of the last. In short, the mad scientist was using the method of cloning to accelerate the evolution of the being he was creating. Through decades of this process, the being which would eventually become Manning was forced to endure the agony of death, thousands upon thousands of times; the memory of these countless deaths was recorded in his genes and drove him to hate all life. That is the origin of Curtis Manning.

Really, I heard a different rumor.

When he was born, like all SFU Clansmen, he was inspected. By the time he could stand, he was baptized in the fire of lacrosse. Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. In service to SFU lacrosse, it is the greatest glory he can achieve in this life. He was tossed into the wild, with only a knife to build a lacrosse stick, left to pit his wits and will against nature's fury. It was his initiation. His time in the wild. For he would return to his Clansmen, or not at all. And so the boy, given up for dead, returned to his Clan. To the sacred grounds of SFU, a captain! Captain Curtis Manning.

So which movie is it? Frankenstein or "300"?

Is this why I never see you when I'm in town Andy? Using work as an excuse to read comic books?

I also heard a rumor that McMurdo is Carrot Top's brother.

the region is full of top talent. BC players are scattered throughout the NCAA ranks.

Great point, that is a young team that won the PNCLL this season. My question: How far will they go at Nationals? Can the Clan get on a roll like Oregon did and get to the Championship? They looked good in Missoula.

If they are able to do what Oregon did, will it be the first time for back-to-back PNCLL teams in the Championship Game?
