Just a casual July 31st afternoon post. Fireworks tonight.

INDIANA TAKEOVER HAS BEGUN

Yesterday, every high school coach and administrator in Indiana received this email. Middle school and youth coaches will be looking at something similar by the end of today.

Dear Coaches and Administrators,

My name is Peter Tumbas and I am the new head coach at IU.

I am absolutely thrilled to be in Indiana to help develop the program
at the university and to continue to grow the game state wide.
Our fall ball season begins the second week of September with
practices Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 7:30 to 9:30. Please feel
free to visit a practice and speak with the coaching staff. If you
cannot attend a practice session, you can always call or email to
discuss lacrosse. We want to be a great resource for Indiana high
school and youth coaches and that starts with being accessible.

If any of your graduated seniors are attending IU this fall and are in
need of more information about the program please forward my email
address and phone number. The same goes for any rising seniors and
juniors who are interested. We are in the process of transforming the
IU team into a virtual varsity program and we hope to have as many
Indiana players on the roster as possible.

I am working a camp at the University of Michigan this coming week so
I might not be able to reply right away but I promise to reply to any
and all concerns as soon as possible.

Looking forward to meeting you all,
Peter Tumbas

MICHIGAN INVASION

There are three camps in Michigan this week.

Davenport

Run N’ Gun

University of Michigan

Guess which one we’ll be at? Do you want to know which one? I bet you can guess. Because we’ve been mentioning it for the last few days.

AnyUniversityofMichiganLacrossecamp, Run N Gun, despite having one of the most boring names in the industry is giving out these shirts.

Not bad Joe Walters and Kyle Harrison. Not bad at all.

I’ll take one that says, I got 99 problems and my force feed to the crease is one.

Lacrosse Unlimited is calling this the “Tribe”

I was warned against following Kanye on Twitter.

This occurred last night. He may or may not have been drinking. He may or may not have been with several girls from Sweden. Lord knows I know about the joys and agony spending time with a Swedish lass.

During the process of writing this post, Kanye tweeted this photo.

Kanye on Twitter is a financial and cultural disaster and we can’t stop reading.

Former SMU goalie Ev Weiler suggested this summer banger. A true gem. The only thing close to being as stunning as the song is the unrelated blue hole dive video.
