This is obviously your favorite site, but other people actually write important stuff sometimes. Now is that sometimes.
A Full Pint
"We lost Eric, and we talked a lot over the past year about how we're going to replace Eric," Tierney said of last year's leading scorer who tallied 78 points. "When we first saw Jack play, we said, 'We're back in the hunt.' Jack possessed all the skills to fill those shoes. Nobody can replace Eric Law, but we're a lot better at attack than we thought we'd be."
Bobzien was a huge transfer for the Pioneers this offseason, leaving Hartford for the Pioneers. His role in Denver's offense this season is going to be significant, and the way he played against Air Force signals the potential he brings to the Pios.
Lacrosse season beginning earlier and earlier
Here are words from Dave Pietramala:
"I would love to see the lacrosse calendar change," he said. "I would love to see us with a start date for practice on Feb. 1 and I would love to see us with a start date for games on either the last weekend of February or the first weekend of March. And I'd love to see us move the Final Four back [from Memorial Day weekend]. I'd love to see more lacrosse being played in warmer weather for everybody, and I'd like to see the most important lacrosse — the tournaments and playoffs — being played in good weather and when kids are out of school."
Coaches and their peers have the power to change this. Words mean nothing. Action matters. This is just like coaches spouting off about early recruiting: If a situation stinks, do something.
