26 weeks 4 days ago	Well "Great Lacrosse State"	Well "Great Lacrosse State" doesn't quite have the same punnability as "Great Lax State" ...
26 weeks 4 days ago	Your representation of the	Your representation of the lacrosse conference affiliations is wrong. All four (soon to be five, with the additions of Notre Dame and Penn State and the loss of Maryland) were in the ACC.  However, the league didn't have an automatic bid, so they were functionally independents. Still, their conference affiliation was ACC, nothing else. Also, it's called "lacrosse" (or "lax" if you're 14). "LAX" is an airport.
51 weeks 6 days ago	I love the way Loyola plays,	I love the way Loyola plays, not so much Notre Dame. Add in the rivalry factor, and that Michigan played Loyola, not Notre this year... Go Hounds.
1 year 6 weeks ago	Lacrosse, when abbreviated,	Lacrosse, when abbreviated, is never capitalized. LAX is an airport.  Lax is a slang term for lacrosse, but even that should be relegated to the 14-year olds who are more concerned with their sick flow and whatnot than the actual sport.
1 year 14 weeks ago	A handful of the away ones	A handful of the away ones will be televised on the host team's websites - usually for a fee (including today's game). The April 14th game against OHio State is a holy lock to be on BTN.
1 year 32 weeks ago	VICTORY!	VICTORY!
1 year 39 weeks ago	They're playing Ohio State in	They're playing Ohio State in the big house before the spring game. Everything else is pretty fluid at this point. I has a post on GLS a month or so back with a "best guess" schedule. It still applies from my perspective. I'll put up another GLS post next time I hear something.
1 year 39 weeks ago	Great Lax State shall live on	Great Lax State shall live on (maybe with a little less focus on UM).
1 year 41 weeks ago	I think the three players	I think the three players have different skill sets. Just because they're the same size, doesn't mean they're headed for the same role in college.
1 year 41 weeks ago	Because height and weight are	Because height and weight are THE ONLY THINGS used to project position.
1 year 41 weeks ago	He is without 2 NFL Draft	He is without 2 NFL Draft picks at receiver. There's something to be said for Lindley's ability, but you don't think they had a lot to do with his success last year?
1 year 41 weeks ago	Michigan briefly recruited	Michigan briefly recruited his older brother (Tyler? I think) a couple years back. He ended up at an Ivy League school, iirc.
1 year 41 weeks ago	No individual RBs were	No individual RBs were mentioned (except to mention that Hopkins can also play FB).
1 year 41 weeks ago	Note how short those sections	Note how short those sections were. Not a whole lot of talk about those positions (one question apiece, probably, with a bonus Lewan-specific question).
1 year 41 weeks ago	5-tech is a defensive end. 1-	5-tech is a defensive end. 1- and 3-tech are the tackles.
1 year 41 weeks ago	He's said 26 a lot of times,	He's said 26 a lot of times (sometimes "we'll go over [the 25 number] by 1"), and specifically said yes to the number 26 on Monday.
1 year 41 weeks ago	That's not a typo. He was	That's not a typo. He was used as a stand-up DE/LB in the spring game.
1 year 41 weeks ago	Hey everyone, watch me reply	Hey everyone, watch me reply to a months-old post. Here I go: To be fair, Ohio State is hardly (will hardy be) the closest D-1 team to Madison. Marquette will be just an hour or so away, Notre Dame just a handful of hours (3ish?), Ann Arbor and Detroit about 7-8 and Ohio State about 8-9. Bellarmine is shorter at almost exactly 8. Denver and Air Force are going to be a plane trip no matter what, and the East Coast schools would probably be a plane trip as well. On the other hand, you're underestimating Michigan's distance from the East Coast (10+ hours to Phildelphia, probably the closest true East Coast city), and that's probably a plane trip for them anyway. From a pure travel standpoint, Wisconsin is barely in a worse situation than Michigan (if at all)
1 year 41 weeks ago	They always always always	They always always always practice kicking in the Big House. Last year they had 2-3 full scrimmages in Michigan Stadium.
1 year 41 weeks ago	In the original post, that	In the original post, that was obviously a little joke along the lines of "whoever likes Michigan guys the most is the best."  As for the overwhelming sentiment against ESPN, I'm on your side. They certainly hit the nail on the head with BWC, at the very least.
1 year 41 weeks ago	They're apparently headed for	They're apparently headed for a really small class, according to most sources I've seen. Howeva, I'm not much of a follower of Nebraska recruiting, and couldn't really tell you who they have a good shot at (besides Andrus Peat, whose brother signed with the Huskers in February).
1 year 41 weeks ago	Oh hey	Oh hey there. http://mgoblog.com/content/friday-night-lights-2011-state-primer
1 year 41 weeks ago	Whoops, fixed.	Whoops, fixed.
1 year 41 weeks ago	He also says he's on the same	He also says he's on the same page as the coaches, so if he's taking visits, it's with their blessing at this point.
1 year 41 weeks ago	I don't think there was any	I don't think there was any intended implication to that statement, but I did notice the wording while transcribing.
1 year 41 weeks ago	They don't sell out. They	They don't sell out. They have wide (but short) visitor stands and plenty of standing room.
1 year 41 weeks ago	I might put up the Richardson	I might put up the Richardson one tomorrow morning, since his visits seem to be a hot topic right now.
1 year 41 weeks ago	Bonus tidbit for those who	Bonus tidbit for those who read comments, since I forgot to include it in the main post: I was pretty surprised at how tall James is. With reports saying he's as short as 5-11, he was at least an inch or two taller than me (I'm 6-0), so the knocks on his height may be overstating the issue quite a bit. Same with Terry, by the way. People are saying he's as short as 5-7 or 5-8, but he's a solid 5-10.
