Re: Should We Take Club Ball Seriously?

Craven — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:14:52 -0000

The only response needed to this is to re-read Trevor Tierney's comment in the above thread.

Also, want to point out some profoundly trolling internet-y statments here that are only intended to provoke people and not start a legitimate conversation. This is rhetoric that only divides people when we should be coming together.

"I would hate for a first time viewer to flip on an MCLA game and think that it was the elite level of college lacrosse and judge the sport accordingly"

"...(The MCLA) legitimizes a person or team that doesn't embody what we would want a representative of our game to embody"

"I will continue to celebrate the athletes who choose a path of greater personal commitment by choosing NCAA ball over those who prefer a less committed lifestyle"

/The NCAA isn't the game
// The MCLA isn't the game
/// The MLL (insert pro league here) isn't the game

Person 1: MCLA sucks. NCAA teams rule. I hate flow. Rabble rabble rabble. Trolling for responses. Rabble rabble rabble. Went to a smaller school that gets lost in the D1 / MCLA conversation and should be trying to promote their fav brand of lax and not tear others down.

Person 2: My team could totally play with anyone. Rabble rabble rabble Title IX rabble rabble rabble. ConBroChill 4 Life. Rabble rabble rabble. Has never heard of Roanoke.

It's a new year but the same tired comments that have been around for a decade. Time to change the conversation.

Re: Penn State Scandal: Paterno’s Responsibility And Moving Forward

Craven — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:46:19 -0000

JoePa was an enabler. Not a criminal. But he shares the same responsibility as the rest of the people who lost their jobs.

Calling it a misunderstanding is trivializing the abuse that he admits was reported to him. He heard the words "Sandusky", "Shower", and "Inappropriate". That's enough.

Appreciate you bringing the lax perspective but the comparison to the Duke case isn't here.

This is an institutional failure all the way to the top. The number of victims coming forward has already doubled and the cover-up has been going on for over a decade. One phone call by JoePa or anyone else involved back in 2002 would have prevented everything that's happened to him now and preserved his "dignity".

Unfortunately, it's too late for all the kids who were victims since then.

Re: Penn State Scandal: Paterno’s Responsibility And Moving Forward

Craven — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:33:38 -0000

The illusion that Joe Paterno reports to anyone on the Penn State campus is a joke and the failure of leadership on the academic side of the college is damning. JoePa is a celebrated FOOTBALL COACH who's been allowed to to whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Under his watch children's lives were tossed aside to protect one of his employees who he knew for 30 years. Now he's an 85 year old who obviously doesnt understand whats going on. (Watch the YouTube clip of him leading a "WE ARE - PENN STATE" cheer on his lawn for proof)

Tom is completely right...if I saw someone doing a horrible crime like that you better believe I would call the cops. Ask yourself the same thing.

Re: Michigan Lacrosse: The Difference One Year Can Make

Craven — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:15:56 -0000

Makes you wonder what the critics would consider a success for Michigan this year. Are they expected to come in and be a middle of the pack team, or scraping the lower tier (as the scrimmage results indicate), or are they supposed to compete with the elite teams right away? Whatever happens, there's no guarantee this ever happens again for an MCLA team so there will be a ton of scrutiny.

Nothing better than a little Explosions In The Sky set to sports highlights. The message that the video sent really put it over the top. Glad you like it.

Agreed that data for data's sake doesn't have a lasting impact. You just dont see many brands taking the time to layer in social / custom elements to video.

The winner will be decided by a combo of creativity and how big of a fan you are of Radio Zarape. Sir Coyler is the final judge but the important thing is that you enjoyed the music!

Stay tuned. The winning submission will be announced on the next Music Monday!
