and skip yet another feature article on the importance of "diversity" at Evergreen?

No wait, wrong subject. Spoiler on the magazine... Loyola, obviously bucking all trends and trying to make its mark in an area where no one else is looking, IS DOING WHAT IT CAN TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT. Probably not by picking up all of the empties on Notre Dame Lane on the route from Butler to the liquor stores on York Road, but still doing plenty.

The bestest part is the title on the cover. Are you ready? (Wait for it...)

Nailed it.

on the stadium.. loyola will takeover the lacrosse locker rooms when lacrosse moves which doesn't sound like that big of a deal but the lax facilities are a lot nicer than the basketballs right now so that'll be a good upgrade for us even if it means lax is getting the real upgrade. supposedly lax and soccer (m & w) are being moved to the stadium... and reitz is supposed to go under construction this year as well.. so much so that the summer camps are being canceled for it.. lot of talk about stuff but only for sure things are the new green bleachers and a new floor. should look a little better.



I find this impossible to believe. I have been surfing the internet long enough to know that for every positive action taken on behalf of the lax program there is an equal and opposite negative result for the hoops team. So how is it possible that building this stadium could actually be for the good of the entire school and its sports program, including basketball?

Kidding aside, good stuff. Thanks for the info. Honestly, I don't care either way. I am just excited for the opportunity to try a new response next time the phone-a-thon calls.

so isn't this hand-me-down "upgrade" all the evidence you need to know how Lax and Hoops are treated?

Their lax sticks may be gone, but the smell of their farts will last a lifetime. Oh thank you ghosts of Dave Cottle... thank you!

the hopkins game this weekend will prove a lot.. even if hopkins isn't even up to standards yet... but from what lax websites ive seen loyola lacks in any respect at all and no one expects us to do anything at all... hope for some upsets.. maybe this will keep lax on the national scene for a little longer

I think it's time that we shift the vast majority of our athletic budget to a more obscure sport... One that will be much easier to dominate on a national collegiate level.

I'd say curling, but it will be tough to be taken seriously given the mid-atlantic location.

I'd say fencing, but I think the IVY league is already all over that.

Wait. How about Bowling? 10 pin or duck-pin, doesn't matter. Baltimore is ideally located to be home to a national powerhouse.

Get Boylan on the phone!

Showing your lack of sports knowledge once again! Maryland is a hotbed of curling.

Meanwhile, no way we can compete with the Nebraskas of the world in college bowling.

Edit: It appears another Maryland school has already beaten us to the punch when it comes to bowling.

Your lack of faith ios distrurbing.

Bowling was only sanctioned in 2004. It is early days my friend.

All we need is the right coach.

I nominate this man.

Once we convert the old lacrosse locker room into a bowling alley, we will have the finest on-campus bowling facilities in Maryland.

We will eat MD Eastern Shore for lunch and ask for cornfed Nebraskan for dessert.

Ok I checked the last time we beat Hopkins' was 1999. And we have beaten them 3 times ever.

So Hobart who we lost to last weekend in lax is moving down to D-3 now.

I heard from a trusted inside source that when Lax moves, they will leave their old jock straps behind and get new ones. the mens basketball team will then get the old lacross jock straps, but they are better than the ones they have now, so it's a win-win.

Nice to see Potomac Curling get a mention on the site. One of the guys at the club competes regularly at the national level and members of our club were hired as consultants during the last winter olympics. Maryland is suprisingly known in US curling. Outside of the states where it's really popular (MN, WI, NY, ND) Maryland can hold its own on the national level.
If anyone is actually interested, I am a dues paying member, play weekly and my team actually won our league this season. Season starts up again in October.

I will confess to very much enjoying watching curling during the Olympics (and not just because those sisters were cute, though that didn't hurt). Where do you play (is play the right word)? I'd go watch a match (?) if I was in town just to see it.

Perhaps I spoke too quickly on what constitutes "a more obscure" sport.

what is a better gauge of sports popularity than looking at the video games it has inspired?

http://www.amazon.com/Take-Out-Weight-Curli ng-2/dp...

This curling game game was made 2 years after:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_Lacrosse

...the last lax video game ever made (May 2001).
