As if it wasn’t bad enough the first game of the year was two bottom 50 teams in the country and now I cant even stream it? What a crock of shit. At least last year Denver gave us the option to pay to see the game (which is still bull shit). How do we expect to grow this game if we cant even have division 1 teams stream their games? I truly believe Lacrosse is the best sport out there but we keep handcuffing ourselves by not doing everything we can to show the game to anybody who wants to watch. If we ever want to be taken seriously with the rest of the major sports in the world there has to be easy access to watch the sport.
Being able to watch the game is obviously problem number one. The other problem we had last weekend was Bellarmine vs Mercer. Look at the NFL, they start every year with the defending super bowl champs. College basketball has 120 games going on opening night. Why aren’t we adopting something like this in our sport? Have Virginia open up the season against literally anybody and people will want to see that game. If not that then lets postpone this Bellarmine game to this weekend when everybody is playing. This would give us the option to watch any other good game going on. All exposure is good for the game but why not try and put our best product out as much as we can.
Alright enough bitching from me for now. We are finally back and as furious as my girlfriend is that I wont be paying attention to her for the next 16 Saturdays I couldn’t be happier. As awesome as football season is this to me is really the best time of the year. Lacrosse is back, weather starts to warm up, before we know it it’ll be summer and championship weekend. I hope the O state boys have a year, the Tigers repeat and division 1 is an absolute blood bath to the championship.
