Pitt lax practice video. NCAA D1 Player of the year list. Work boots and lax. Let’s Lax. But he isn’t invited.

Work boots and game shorts?

Work boots and sweat pants?

It needs to stop.

It needs to stop right now.

The only great thing about a tender hammy string is that our multimedia coverage of Pitt lax goes nuclear.

Every team should be mailing one out during the spring.

Here is a good example of something simple yet informative.

POY Discussion

The following names were mentioned today on twitter as possible D1 player of the year winners.

Bitter

Crotty

Wimer

Jamieson

Kimmel

Bratton

Stanwick

Pannell

Rabil cooked up something from home and went with Kimmel who had the quietest 44 points of all time. We understand if he’s a fellow Blue Jay but bro wasn’t asked to win games. Brian Christopher was and he’s gone.

Walters picked Crotty. Understandable. Maryland thuggery hates everything Duke represents.

We didn’t notice this during our tweet blast but Harrison picked Bratton which is hilarious. You’ll see why. Also we didn’t notice Stanwick on the list either because like Jamieson you can’t go from a supporting role to the best player in the country in one year. Thus, no Stanwick commentary via tweet tweet.

But of course we took great offense to list. Here is our documented melt down:

Kimmel for poy? Hes been helpless without Rabil and Peyser, wasn’t their best middie last year and now he’s poy candidate, get a grip

Jamieson for poy? He didn’t even get the top pole like Bitter, again manufacturing unjustified hype, the only thing that magazine is good at

Pannell won’t have Seibald or Glynn to take pressure off him and therefore he’s unproven as the go to guy but surely a Poy candidate

Only Harrison had a worse shooting percentage than the Bratton bros, but you put them on your cover so Obvi shamel is a poy candidate

Wimer didn’t have the most points in his team last year I guess thats good enough to be on a poy list

Bitter is uncoverable but won’t be able to win enough games because Breschi can’t win a big game an acc trend minus DS

Crotty made the national team. The US national team. That’s probably poy worthy but I’m only over 5′7′ and play lacrosse what do I know

Rarely are you going to find happy tweets from us early in the morning but that list was obnoxious and irresponsible.

Attackman #71 for Pitt might as well have been on that list.

Who do you like for NCAA D1 POY?

One of the best goal celebrations of all time.

Where did he get that from?

Oh, we know.

Attackman #16 of Hopkins used to do that. (we don’t have enough respect for him to use his real name.)

We hated it more than words can say.

P.S. We miss the all white Terps uniforms.

Why hasn’t Maryland won a title in years? Take a look at the sock problem. Easy fix.

    Jamison will make records fall. Hybrid from the north Country will bring a style that everyone is trying to replicate.
  • I think Crotty is a really solid pick for PoY. He makes his teammates better, has proved he can be the man and is a really well diversified player skill-wise who understands the game. His brain is his biggest asset. A kid you will trust when the game is on the line.

    Bitter is also a good choice. When he's on, he can be absolutely unguardable and can finish so that makes him unstoppable. If he can take UNC to the Semis or Finals and especially an NC, he is a candidate for sure.

    Kimmel is a quiet pick but then again, the kid can ball. He's got speed and a good shot on the run and that puts pressure on a defense. The Hop O feeds on this pressure to find seams and move the ball. Don't discount him.

    Jamieson hasn't done a ton at the NCAA level although he's proven he can score a big goal when you need it! But he is a proven commodity. PERIOD. If you don't know how good he is, you don't know lax. He can take a beating and score. He will score in ways that will perplex you this season within 6 yards. Plus he plays for the 2-time reigning champs so...

    Pannell is good too. Crafty, fast, tough and can score and feed. He got a lot of attention last year as a dodger and ball carrier so I don't think you can say he didn't carry some of the load. It will be more this year but he'll still share it with others.

    Shamel needs to take 5 mph off his shot and focus on hitting corners. If he did that, best player in the country. hands down. but he hasn't yet... hope he did a lot of shooting this offseason. If so... GAME. BLOUSES.

    Only way Wimer gets it is if UMBC has a big year. He is very good but lacks another couple stars to help him shine. Carries a bigger load than the others in my opinion.

    I think you're right about Stanwick but he comes from a pretty decent lacrosse pedigree (google stanwick and lacrosse) so I wouldn't be surprised to see him step right in and lead. He looked comfortable out there last year... more so than I thought he would.

    I'm surprised Rodgers wasn't mentioned. ND COULD be good again this year (meaning they could have been good last year but weren't really) and Rodgers is a beast in net.

    I don't think Princeton is going to drop off as much... why? because they have talent and both Fiorito and Weidmaer could be PoY... both only sophs but VERY good. maybe not as flashy but excellent players.

    Overall, not that bad of a list really. I'd love to hear arguments for some other people... if anyone's got them.
  • My concern with Stanwick being mentioned as a POY is the same argument I brought forth for Pannell. His supporting cast is gone.What will happen when he is getting the top pole every weekend?

    Rodgers hasn't seen Syracuse or Georgetown. He'll be 2nd team AA behind Fiorito at best.

    Great Prince/DC reference.

    Catalino or Bitter
  • Catalino, great call.

    How come you guys don't do workouts like that outside of practice so then you have more time to play together on the field?
  • Practice is also 2.5 hours long so there is plenty of time unfortunately.
  • It only takes 6 minutes. We do it at the start of practice instead of
    conditioning at the end.

    Worst 6 minutes of my life.

  • Why would a goalie even bother to step in for that drill?
