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.

PSU isn't really coming out of nowhere by Steelhop
Lacrosse fans have been keenly aware of the talent Tambroni was bringing in to PSU over the last 9 years. Tambroni took Cornell built on what Petro started and took Cornell to greater heights to the point they should have won the 2009 National Title game (they had the game in the bag but made several mistakes in the last couple of minutes). In fact, many were wondering why it was taking so long. They redid their facilities about 3-4 years ago and have a good pipeline into top HS in Philly like Haverford, Malvern Prep and LaSalle and have been pulling kids out of other hotbeds.
They are also shooting the lights out. Right now they sit at 44 or 45% shot percentage. That is absurd. It will destroy the record of shot percentage as a team, which stands at something like .401.
