Team One had rutgers on the ropes, 9-9, all the way until halfway through the 4th period, when rutgers went on a run to win 13-9.
Michigan falls 1-12 and will take on north carolina in chapel hill in two weeks on May 5th. NC plays duke tomorrow on ESPNU for the ACC Tournament championship.

Aw man
Is the link working for anyone?
I didn't use Devotee's link to get there but I am watching the game. Tied 4-4 halfway through the 2nd, U-M ball.
Where did you find your link? I tried the on one mgoblue.com and that one isn't working either
I just went straight to the Rutgers website and followed from there.
Stop switching the camera angles so much. Also, nice goal up 5-4.
The link worked for me in my non-redundant thread. (Joking)
While I type this we are now WINNING! Ahh let's do this
Fucking brilliant second quarter by Weiss. Might've been the best second quarter we played all year, except for forgetting that the clock was running out. (Coach Paul shouldn't have sat on the last timeout, either.)
The announcers mentioned that Michigan approached Rutgers requesting a road game for that very reason - alumni presence. Have to assume Harvard was the same deal.

but cowbell here, checking in. :-) hope you enjoyed my banging on the cowbell.
Having been trying for the last 15-20 minutes and nothing is working. I have no idea what the hell is wrong.
Good man-down there and a nice save by Weiss
Michigan is hanging in there.
Their offense is infuriatingly slow and conservative, though...
Tied 9-9, Michigan's on the brink of only their second double-digit game of the year.
Me and my big mouth. Not even 3 minutes later it's 12-9 Ruggers.
way to jinx 'em. nah im kidding. looked like another winnable one got away from them. now all they got is unc - yikes!
Another very strong showing by Team One. They were taking it to rutgers for awhile there.
Unreal that the season ends in two weeks (Michigan has a bye next Saturday).
1. The Michigan alumni and fans were great, and I have to believe that the Rutgers Coach was pissed off with how loud and vocal we were.
2. Emil Weiss single-handedly kept us in the game with his tremendous work, and I will look forward to watching him play for 3 more years.
3. Rutgers owned the faceoff circle, and I would imagine that we will be loading up in recruting here.
4. While it was disappointing to lose a game that was so close, I was really impressed with what I saw from our team. You boys did us proud.
5. Any of the young players in attendance had to be impressed with our fans, and I would hope that we could establish some inroads in NJ lacrosse communities. While this is not NY or MD, I cannot think of any state that produces as many good players outside of those two. Also, given our huge alumni base in the NYC and Philly metro areas, we should get a few good players every year.

well cant chime in too much on the technical commentary, but as to #1 - the alums, fans and family tonight were fantastic. think we managed to completely dominate and fluster the rutgers crowd, so thats good. was nice to show the boys some away game support in year 1. they showed great promise... tough loss but seems like good things to come from the team.

I would imagine that it will only be a metter of time before some West coast schools add lacrosse. I known BYU, Chapman, Cal Poly, Oregon and Arizona State all have good lacrosse programs at the MCLA level. There are a lot of California schools that have decent programs, so i would imagine that it would take a commitment for a group of schools prior to just a single school taking the jump. I couldn't imagine the budget for a lax team to travel east from Cali for at least 7 weeks a season.
If anyone wants to scout UNC they are playing Duke in the ACC Championship on ESPN U right now. Its tied 2-2. Carolina has some tiny but extraordinarily quick attackmen. Michigan's gonna have their hands full. Enjoy!
