No. 17/18 Men’s Lacrosse Hosted Johns Hopkins Sunday
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Must win. Got to show us something since we're now out of moral victories.
Have to win this one after letting OSU off the hook. No excuses especially at home.
What's funny is if you go on an Lax fan sites with JHU fans, they will act like we've never beat JHU. We're just a slight bump in the road to bigger and better games and we should consider it an honor that we get to play them.
Hopkins will never be the juggernaut it once was. Still a very solid program but a number of other schools have caught up or surpassed them. Their alumni better be prepared to continue funding at a high level or they are going to have bigger problems. They don’t have the football resources other Big Ten programs have access to and that school, outside of the education, is very unattractive. Baltimore is awful, girls are terrible, and there is no real social life to speak of.

Good luck tomorrow, Rutgers.
I haven't been around much lately, but it isn't because of Maryland's lackluster season. If that were the case, I'd have disappeared in October, ha ha. I've been on here once in a while following along. I was actually down in Bowie, Maryland, for the past month but did not make it over to campus for anything.
Tough game last week for the Scarlet Knights, but they showed me something.
Sorry for the thread de-rail. Go Rutgers!

Hopefully their team comes in with that attitude. They do, and they are heading back down 95 with an L
Swept Hopkins that year, and yet they made the NCAA Tournament while we were snubbed.
[Sorry, this was a reply to the Schaller question]
I haven't been on top of it. However, although nobody seems to want to confirm "ACL" its widely acknowledged that he's out for the season.
Spanos will likely be back in the next few weeks, from what I could gather...

Spanos will make the offense hum more. He’s a real missing piece. Schaller is the equivalent on D.
JHU is still stacking top 10 recruiting classes they aren’t going anywhere but up and the school (or Bloomberg) will fund it to the max for eternity unless something goes drastically wrong. They get like 4k+ attendance for games like Cuse. 10k+ when Maryland comes to town. Amazes me with all talent in NJ that RU can’t grab a top class. Leading Edge practices at RU right?
Hard to knock Baltimore especially when compared to New Brunswick. I can only imagine what outsiders have to say about it.
They had top 10 classes going 0-6 in the conference last year including getting smacked around by RU on their home field. We have the goalie and best defenseman from LE next class among others. Bieda has been really good.
Bloomberg doesn’t find athletics. They have a couple of other well heeled alums who do, but they are going to need continue to.
I’m from there. It’s actually really easy to. Baltimore gets worse every time I’m there. Really sad. Dying city.
I wouldn’t use last year as any indication of what RU will see this year from JHU. I’m not sure why but JHU only played 5 home games last season. Spent most of the season on road and had lots of injuries. Bloomberg definitely funds athletics although I have no idea how much.
Fair point on the 2027s from LE…Hayes is great pick up. I think the other kid is a d-mid and very athletic plays tough. But RU sits in a hotbed of talent and should be tapping the IL top 100.
No he doesn’t.
They are better this year, but so are we. Should be a good one.
IL top 100 is meaningless to me outside of a few 5* that are obvious. IL ranked Shane Knobloch and Ross Scott 3 * lol. It’s a couple of guys sitting in Baltimore trying to rank the entire country. But if that’s what you are after, the next two classes have more IL stars than any we’ve had. Again meaningless. Show me on a college field.

What’s odd about it? You think New Brunswick has any appeal to anyone other than RU students/alumni and J&J? Let’s be real - It’s not a great college town.
Agree - it's NOT a "great college town" - but it's 100x better than when @Caliknight, myself and others here were in school, and Baltimore is a ******* dump these days. My friends who live down there don't even go to The Inner Harbor anymore.
- getting shots (7-1 advantage RU) but nowhere close to scoring so far
- @Caliknight watching games on TV at SHI ...honestly....if I hit the lottery I'll pay for the new lax stadium. You have my word!!!

2-0 as CK (great initials, btw!!!) cranks one into the net at the expiration of RU man-up!
TO"s 4-0 RU
Shots 15-3 RU
...with 3:20 to go in the 1st.
Hopkins nets one 2-1 RU.

BTW - it's really sad to hear them talk about us never winning a B1G title (regular season nor post-season). Painful. Especially after that FF run in '22.
