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 Post...I Think College Lax is In a Good Place by dillon77
in regards to scoring and possessions. My alum son went to a party after the semifinals and ran into a conversation where people were saying that lacrosse offered a great payoff on scoring per possession:
- soccer was too tough to score at a top level
- hockey was often too random (see Stanley Cup)
- basketball was almost too often and easy the pro level
- but lacrosse had that good mixture of scoring and success; fast break pops and forcing shot-clock violations.
As per rules, the one I had been interested in was face-offs. Going into this weekend, I was bordering on limiting them to start quarters. But after watching Lynch give us the opportunity to tie in the UVA game, I've got to rethink that...
