I love that game.

I started playing in high school in Louisiana when the adult team in town opened its doors to anyone who wanted to play with them. Me and my brother are pretty good size, and enjoyed the comraderie and ability to jump in and play with older guys. Now the city where we live has a very active youth through high school lacrosse scene, and it's always remained dear to my heart.

After high school, I played some pickup games in college with teams, but could never get a club team started. After college, I coached and reffed a bit, but haven't played competitively in a while.

I actually chose to attend grad school at Syracuse with hopes that I could somehow get "alumni tickets" should the Orange make an appearance at Championship weekend. I haven't been able to get my act together to make it over there, yet. I'm also hoping Championship weekend somehow makes it to the west coast sometime soon. I'll keep dreaming.

Anyway, without a TV, and with no real local fan support base, being a fan is kind of difficult. Have fun, though. I'm envious.
