Shut up. They don't have lax.

Wacky Laxer is BACK! Photo blowout from France to New Orleans. Texas recruiting update.

Wacky Laxer is the reason the terrorists hate us.

France. Lax. Red Wine.

Apparently, they do have lax. Well, we didn’t know that. So, we’re sorry.

Photos from a wintry 12.19.2009 practice.

We need one of those reversibles by this summer.

It just looks European.

Not the most offensive Warrior Venom we’ve ever seen.

Goalie is wearing a scarf that is fantastically French.

The French National Team is competing against Sweden in February.

It will be the first international lacrosse game played on French soil.

Cannot wait for those pictures.

France Lacrosse facebook and website.

Bon Temps Visit

High school lacrosse is in full swing in Louisiana.

Here are pictures from the All State Sugar Bowl Lacrosse Classic featuring New Orleans Jesuit and St. Paul’s.

According to the website, this shot fell.

As did this one.

Perhaps the screen had an influence on the outcome.

Texas Lax

Which really means Dallas Lax because of how far ahead they are of the other cities.

Item 1) This picture.

St. Mark’s School for Boys

Code name: Fancy Lad Lax

Uniforms: Best Warrior uniforms ever made

Item 2) This video.

Brandon Mullins, junior out of Coppell, just north of Dallas

He verballed Syracuse this week. We reported it. No big deal for us, but a huge step forward for Dallas lacrosse.

Idaho Nike Six Nation Uniforms

We can hardly breathe.

Initially, we would have preferred an I-less short but the dual logo is unique and we grew to love it.

Timeless. Classic. Mean spirited.

Staying black and white.

Interesting to note they bailed on Nike at least for this uniform. It’s refreshing to see at least one major MCLA team won’t be playing for Nike University.

Are we contradicting ourselves by not calling out Idaho for playing for Nike U?

If they had jazzed up their  uniforms and bailed on their traditional basic color schemes then yes. But since they stuck to their guns and just upgraded the quality of their apparel, no.

We are sure we will be able to identify other teams that do play for Nike U as more uniforms are released. Simple rule of thumb, if your team ordered Nike uniforms just to order Nike, you’re playing for Nike U.

The back does look a little cluttered but that is a deception as the sleeves are folded back to showcase the logos.

Respectable variation of the tramp stamp.

Thanks to 412 Lax Party Member CLK22 for putting us on these tops.

Maybe we win Saturday so Sunday we can post our home whites.

Army USA Photos

Lax.com for more

Timely duck.

Another timely duck by Nedley Forrester Crotty IV.

Mr. Peyser, please put those anime sized leg muscles away.

Interesting to note, each Army player in these photos is sporting a different military patch. Curious to know if each patch is specific to the player or random.

Peyton at his best.

Look at the star power.

Snoop.

Lil Wayne, who is probably touching Keri Hilson.

Some brothers.

Celine.

But who is front row and center? Justin Bieber.

Thursday Music Option

Passion Pit- Sleepyhead

We try to avoid artistic scenarios our ex girlfriend enjoys. In this case, we’ll argue that Kanye told us about Passion Pit before she had the opportunity to opine.

[vimeo 8985470]

Twilight Doof

Screen shot from that awful new sports movie featuring the 7th most attractive person from Twilight.

They should have hired us to design the uniforms.

Black under shirt, navy and white reversible. Yikes.

Yeah, they look like they’re in high school.

Linsanity, what do you think of that reversible?

Thought so.

Wonder who inspired that number selection?

Notes

Lacrosse stick in french is baton de lacrosse

Cats are stupid but this video is ridiculous

    We make a point to keep in line with what the athletics department is doing as much as possible; Idaho’s old uniforms were Adidas because University of Idaho had an Adidas sponsorship when we purchased them. For the past few years, we’ve purchased cleats, sweats, and some other miscellaneous apparel through the school’s athletics department, complete with screen printing identical to varsity sweats (except, of course, that they say ‘Lacrosse’ instead of ‘Football’). It makes us look significantly more legitimate to the lay person when we’re walking around campus in the same stuff as all the varsity athletes, and aids in having our team more closely associated with Idaho’s varsity sports than with some of the other clubs on campus (long boarding club, I’m looking at you).

    Last year, Idaho switched to a Nike sponsorship, so when it came time to purchase a new set of uniforms, the choice of brand was obvious. We’re indeed not playing for Nike U by your definition of ordering Nike for the sake of ordering Nike. Rather, we ordered Nike for the sake of continuing to conduct our program in as much of a ‘virtual varsity’ manner as we can.

    On a side note, the other day during a 7am footwork and conditioning session on the turf outside the dome as the football team lifted weights just inside, Idaho football Head Coach Robb Akey drove by honking and waving at us. It’s not the first time.

    The patches the Army players are different unit patches within the Army. Such as 101st Airborne patch that middie in the second picture is wearing or 1st Armored division patch that #46 is wearing. I don’t believe there is a direct connection between each player and the patch they are wearing. You’ll notice that Army and Navy football have been doing this for quite some time while Army Lacrosse started doing it I believe in the last 3 years. I’m sure someone else could shed more light on the subject.

    Drew-
    I believe you’re correct that USUALLY players don’t have a direct connection to the patch that they wear (meaning I don’t think that is the unit they will necessarily enter upon graduation) but sometimes players do wear specific patches for specific reasons. For instance, in 2008, Justin Bokmeyer requested and wore the unit patch of a HS friend of his, Joe Perry, who had been killed in action in Iraq.
    In general, the patches on the front of the jersey are a wonderful tradition and Army, Navy and Air Force are great examples of young men and women taking sports seriously while preparing for an even greater service to their country.

    You went to the All State Sugar Bowl and didn’t stop by to say “hey”? We were there..

    That’s great to hear! 10 years ago when I first picked up a stick I never thought Idaho would EVER have lacrosse. Really it’s amazing to see the game grow out there. I’ve lived on the east coast my whole life but would definitely love to see how the game is progressing in that area of the country. Big ups to you guys for running the program that you do, very professional. Those uniforms are some of the best I’ve ever seen.

    In regards to Colorado’s uniforms, I feel like they took a good risk with the back. Yes, maybe a little cluttered, but overall I like that they’re different. Also from some more digging it looks like they hired a company in Utah to print the uniforms however they accidentally used the Russel logo instead of Nike (sucks).

    Colorado has a pretty nice “behind the scenes” website. From what I’m hearing all the players are really liking coach Stevenson and what he’s bringing to the table. Here’s the website:

    Here’s some CU vid’s on the site: looks like the have some players. They have a frosh. goalie apparently who turned down Penn State to go there.

    Just another tidbit – UCSB will be unleashing its Maverick gear tonight vs. Cal. Not a big fan of Maverick but their practice reversibles/shorts DID look nice vs. Chapman. I was impressed.
    Apparently Brine came to them after they signed a 2-year deal with Maverick, but it was too late. Hopefully after those two years are up, they’ll make the switch.

  • Really Brandon Mullins?!?!?

    Really Brandon Mullins?!?! you’re going to ‘Cuse?!?!?!—I’m assuming he plans to walk on there.

    I mean to be too critical, but you slide waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early in every shot I saw and your checks are pedestrian at best–yet you’re still managing take-aways. I will say that Mr. Mullins is impressive on GBs and has decent stick skills, but really Brandon Mullins?@?!?! ‘Cuse?!?!

    Normally I’m not a snob when it comes to person’s location correlating to lax ability, but you put this dude in LI, Upstate, Hudson Valley, NJ, MIAA and he would be exposed.

    Enough w/ the hate—kudos to you Brandon on the commitment–just do us all a favor and step your game up the next 2 yrs.

    He gave a verbal commitment to the Orange. He doesn’t have to walk on because Syracuse wants him.

    You might be more impressed with this more recent video from the summer.

    He is also ranked as the number one player in the 2011 class by Westside Lax.

    Having played teams from all over Texas, I wouldn’t say Dallas is *that* far ahead of teams from Houston.. St. John’s and the Woodlands can ball. But they’re both ahead of Austin, which is ahead of most of my state.

    And Coppell just recently became a powerhouse program in the past couple years. In Texas D-2. I remember playing against them vivdly. I mean this guy, Brandon, is good – insanely good. He plays aggressive, which is par for course in Texas, but I can’t help but wonder how good he would be going up against TX D-1 schools/players.

    edit: not trying to destroy the legitimacy of Brandon and his team’s success. It’s truly incredible that he’s going to ‘cuse, and the kid is an amazing player. My comment was more of a ‘just curious’ type

    Great post. Looks like everyone in France hates taping their stick besides the goalie. Probably a lot of spin cradling going on there. But, maybe they just used all of it up on the front of their helmets for identification purposes. Who knows.

    I gotta say I’ve never used tape on my stick except to keep the head on instead of a screw, maybe I’d fit in with the young French laxers.

    Nowadays the good D1′s have a mix of hotbed kids who are savvy with high lax IQ, and raw unmolded thoroughbreds that the staff can then mold into their system. This kid would dominate in TX D1 as well. It’s good to see ‘Cuse get off the 90 and the 81.
