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.

Good win by Domer65
However, as for the past few years, faceoffs are still a problem. We won 8 of 24 faceoffs against Maryland (33%) and 9 of 24 against Denver (37%). If we could win 45% of the faceoffs against quality teams, we could make a run at the NC. IMAGINE IF WE COULD WIN 50% OR MORE OF THE FACEOFFS. The offense and defense played a solid game against Denver and we were able to win by 2 goals (one which was scored by Denver). Faceoffs kept Denver in the game. Unless they change the lacrosse rules, faceoffs play almost too large a determinant in the outcome of the game. Do we have any young players on the team that we can try on faceoffs when we have the game under control? We sorely need to recruit a faceoff specialist or coach up the ones that we already have.
