This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Agree with everything in the post. by flanner96

The job that Corrigan has done here is remarkable. And the game itself owes him a lot for how he has helped to grow it beyond the east coast.

When I was at ND I freelanced an article for Lacrosse Magazine right after the 1995 tourney win. Corrigan was incredible generous with his time (he had cut me-- rightly so I might add---when I tried out for the team my freshman year) for that piece and got me phone numbers for a ton of people.

What I learned was how impressed people like Dick Edell at Maryland were with the job Corrigan was doing. That told me a lot.

One other side note that became the lead for that article: Gene Corrigan, when he elevated lacrosse to varsity status, estimated that it might take 15 years for the program to win an NCAA tourney game. The 1995 victory over Duke? Came in year 15.
