On Wednesday, I took a break from my other project to catch the second half of the Lacrosse game against Loyola Maryland. I came in the second half and we were trailing 3-9. When the game ended we trailed 8-15. What do you expect from what is essentially a glorified club team? I expect a core following and flashes of brilliance. In stead, I got awkward execution but dedicated Lacrosse and Michigan fans. It just wasn't the thumping of Concordia Wisconsin from last fall.
As for the attendance, the game was held at Oosterbaan field house, and it was pretty much packed, which is a testament for Michigan fans but also a testament to th size of the place. I was half expecting someone to get beaned with a stray pass since everyone was within 6 feet of the sideline. No one did, thankfully. The Loyola parents were a bit on the vicious side but not bad. Our parents were just happy to be there. Wait until actually start playing in the big house. I don't think we will start packing it, but it will start to feel like home.
On the plus side, it was the first sporting event this year to which I got to bike. It was glorious.
OK, now I will jump ahead to Selection Sunday! Do I think Michigan got a fair shake in seeding? Yes. How will we do? I haven't a clue. We are small, but tough. If we get how we can knock off any team in the bracket. If we aren't, then it is going to be a short run. We are less of an all or nothing team than we were last year, but we still have a bit of that when we play tougher opponents. I'm just glad the team is back to prominence. I think we could win it all next year.
I probably won't talk much about Basketball for the rest of the year. I will ramble about Hockey in my next post.
