I make my return after a well-deserved winter hiatus to discuss something extremely important...Lacrosse
But First let me start with a quick recap of the last month:
- Tiger Woods caught cheating on his babe of a wife with 13+ other women. Two of whom happen to be porn stars. All of whom happen to be young white girls...black women across the nation were outraged. PGA is pissing their pants with viewership forecasted to go (as Jay Sean would say) down, down, down, down, down
- Maryland Basketball began their season, and has now entered into the ACC portion of their schedule. Currently the Terps stand at (10-5), (1-1) in the ACC. Hayes currently shooting 48% from 3-point range...epic
- NFL playoffs are in full swing. Baltimore is still in the mix, facing the Colts this weekend. Redskins locked up the 4th pick in the draft next year (woop woop!)
- Capitals remain at the top of the Southeastern conference led by Ovechkin and Backstrom, both of whom are in the top ten for points in the NHL. Hockey players across the world also prepare for the 2010 Winter Olympics, which begin on February 12
- An earthquake that hit seven on the Richter scale pummeled the Haitian capital of Port Au Prince. Hundreds of thousands are dead with thousands more still missing
- 2009 came to an epic end for 108 members of the Maryland Ski and Snowboard club in Quebec City, Canada. The party was at the world-famous Degobert club (right), and you better believe that I was poppin' bottles. An unidentified number New Years Resolutions were broken soon after...
So now that we have that out of the way, we can get to the important stuff. As I write to you know, we stand but only a week from the beginning of the spring semester. While this may bring grief to those who see a new semester as new classes and tests, I, on the other hand, go into the spring with something else on my mind. No, its not who's in my classes or how much my books are gonna be, nor is it how much I have in my bank account. This is the spring we are talking about, a time of temperatures rising, girls wearing skirts and tank tops, and, most importantly... tis' the season of LAX.
Of course I'm thinking about lacrosse. The spring is the grand stage for our wonderful sport, and man has the stage been set for the Terps Club Lacrosse team. The 2008 NCLL National Champions are coming off of an extremely strong fall season where they lost only once. The team enters the spring with great depth on both sides of the ball, especially after the return of players that were unable to play in the fall. The Terps will see their strongest competition from the usual suspects: Virginia, Delaware, Navy, and Salisbury, the only team to beat Maryland this past fall (In OT).
The Maryland Club Lacrosse Team is bursting with confidence. The whole squad knows that they have the talent and drive to make up for last years disappointing and embarrassing loss in the first round of the playoffs against Navy. And they want to not only make up for it, but soar past it back to the top as the 2010 NCLL National Championship, a point that every member of the Terps knows that they are capable of reaching.
The season gets a frigid start with the Terps first game on February 13. Other important dates include the Richmond Rumble Tournament on February 27, and the Beltway Bash held at the University of Maryland on March 26 and 27. A tentative full schedule has already been released and is posted in the calendar at the top of the page. Keep posted for more specific details of games including the opponents and times, as well as any updates to the schedule as the season progresses.
Everyone is encouraged to come out for games with their friends to help support your Maryland Club Lacrosse team. All home games are played on the Comcast Turf fields, adjacent to the Comcast Center.
Until next time,
Never Pull Out!
