Recovery Sunday

2425-35

One more weekend in the books. It’s nearly NLL time, worst ever. Glove Contest Results. Twitter junk.

The winner of our mock up glove challenge was Mr. San Diego Superchargers.

He guessed Vengeance 2 and Shakedown 4

He will be receiving a pair of our team gloves.

Just wanted to call attention to the dots in the white section of the Shakedown. The Brine rep describes it as white perforated. “The perforated material refers to the metallic silver zone you may have seen on our stock shakedown or on the ones Duke wore in the FF. The white perf is very cool, in fact the only people who have been offered this are our top D1 sponsored teams and lacrosse unlimited, who did custom store stock.”

I’m blinded by the notion of wearing gloves that only Brine’s top teams are wearing. However, the material is only being offered in the Shakedown.

The Vengeance glove is an absolute work of art. Notice the Brine logo on the cuff is gold.

My roommate just entered the War Room. He confessed he made his selections based on the idea that one glove was a home glove and the other was an away unit. Apologies to anyone else who made this egregious error.

They lost 10-5 to Denison in the first scrimmage.

3-1 Michigan over Seton Hill at half.

I forget the Steelers Vikings game was on because I was following the scrimmage on Twitter.

Michigan’s twitter operator didn’t seem to care that Denison isn’t spelled Dennison.

Do these look like table tennis shoes to you? There’s no way that traction technology is effective on longer turf.

Notes on Quint

  • Quint’s latest video on IL  is about “debunking” myths. He debunks the myth that defenders can’t be small to be effective. He references John Lade and Parker McKee as successful undersized defenders. I wonder how 6′2 215lb McKee feels about that.
  • Quint hopes “that Team USA lacrosse selections aren’t a political mess, but sensing a Duke Blue slant, which may lead to criticism.” With the exception of Zash, we have every Duke player available on our USA roster, because they deserve to be on the roster. The last USA lacrosse team was plagued with Syracuse politics. Thanks for leaving Ryan Boyle on the sideline for the Powells, Desko. Official roster comes out next weekend.
  • Quint says, “A men’s Div I lacrosse program will cost a minimum of $1.5 million per year.” Really? Really?

General Notes

  • The Lax All Stars Fireside Chat series returns this week with some MCLA heavy weights.
  • Possible uniform and helmet mock ups to leak out, if the legal team clears the decision.
  • Are you buying your Pitt lacrosse gear?
  • Pitt football is ranked 16th in the country. Holy.
  • San Diego Superchargers
    Hot diggity. I'm quite pleased to eventually rock a pair of these fancy new Pitt gloves. My faithful following of this blog has paid off big time.
  • Looks like Tierney brought the Warrior contract with him to Colorado.
  • laxdogger71
    you would think michigan could get better shoes. denvers lids are dirty. quint is a fucktard and the second Minnesota gloves are sick. only reason is because of the gopher. still dont like Minnesota though. just the glove.

    It's practice gear. Lots of teams put "lacrosse" or sticks or a lacrosse logo on their practice gear. Look at the Denver shorts in the photo. You're right though. Putting "lacrosse" or sticks on an actual uniform is weak.
  • thedude1027
    it would be one thing if there was an "M" between the sticks but alone it just looks dumb. Completely makes a pretty sweet reversible look lame.
  • A huge on field fashion error. Twice as redundant.
  • thedude1027
    Is Michigan serious with the crossed sticks on the back of their reversibles. Thats almost as bad as a jersey they says lacrosse under the team name.
  • "Seton hill ties it up with 20 seconds to spare, the game ends in a tie, 4-4"

    Last tweet of the day from Michigan
  • as usual, your post is legendary.
    will the UM-DU game spur useless D3-club comparisons on laxpower? of course.
  • deoh9
    The second minnesota gloves are great, the solid cuff is a nice touch. Seriously considering getting some pitt lax gear.
