Easy question. Who ya got? Maybe I’m a B10 homer but I cant give anyone 3 the way Wierman is playing.
ND -3 MD

Yep. Son is rising junior at RIT and we were streaming it. The first half was nuts.
This is a funny weekend for me. My daughter just graduated from ND and we’ve gotten to know a lot of the ND lacrosse families. They are really a good bunch of people and a good group of young men (the ones I’ve met). I am really nervous about a hot MD team, but think NDs middie depth and the Kavanghs will get them the win.
Tufts is an incubator. They’ve been pushing the boundaries of offensive lacrosse for awhile now.
I was there with my boys sitting amongst the Tufts fans. That first half was an awesome display of Nascar offenses. Very entertaining. I was impressed by the althetism of the offenses on both sides. Defenses were a step slow it seemed. That RIT goalie wasn't seeing anything for a long time. The heat eventually slowed down the pace.
So cool you were there. We wanted to go but just couldn’t make it work.

Strong Tufts background, but I wonder what the package would have to be to get him to move to D1.
Editorial comment Things have certainly changed over the years with a D3 team having a HC and FOUR assistants
5-3 ND end of 1st after a 2 hr weather delay.
Weirman winning face off battle. Surprised Maryland is pressing pace and going for early offense. That plays right into ND’s hands. Need to extend possessions and eliminate turnovers.

7-3 now. MD has nothing going since the first few minutes. Could be a blowout.
Looks like this one is going to be a sleeper. Seems like the more MD presses, the worse it gets.
This is "getting taken behind the woodshed," having to drop your pants, and not getting a reach-a-round. OOOOOOF!
Looks like MD defense is asleep. ND offense is ridiculous. They employ so much motion it's really throwing MD off.
Neither goalie started well, but Entemann got hot but McNaney never did. That let ND get on a roll and end it early.
Just a terrible beatdown for a championship game. Ten goal margin, incredible. Has there ever been a more lopsided final in D1?
OK. I looked it up. Syracuse beat Loyola 21-9 in 1990, at our place, no less! And Maryland dropped a final to Princeton in 1997 and 1998 by scores of 19-7 and 15-5. 98 was at our place also.
We'll see. The portal is reduced to a trickle. 4 of the top 5 scorers gone. Goalie gone. FOGO gone. I rarely agree with Quint and Carc but I think they got it right when they said next year will be wide open
I was at '98. That championship was decided in the semis. Classic match between Princeton and Syracuse. They were clearly #1 and #2 that year, but the Baltimore Mafia arranged the seedings to assure a Southern team made the finals
And could have been worse except Notre Dame took their foot off the pedal.
Good on the Terps to earn their place on Monday, but that was fugly...
LOL I knew that would get a rise out of some guys.
Hey in the crazy world of college athletics today 2 straight National Titles is a dynasty.
We don't do much in the portal in all sports. More Grad transfers than anything else. Many of the undergrad transfer candidates claim they lose too many credits if they attempt to come to Notre Dame.
You can attribute NDs title last year to grad transfers. They cleaned up. Good for them. They used the rules to their advantage.
But if you listen to Quint Rutgers is the only school who relies on transfers.
If you want to manipulate the definition to fit your facts of course they are a dynasty. But I look for more than a 2 year stretch for a dynasty. And I actually think the past three years will be seen as something of an anonmaly affecting Notre Dame, Rutgers and many others. And, Cali referred to it, without Tevlin and Fake Notre Dame doesn't win it in '23. It was legal, but not dynastic.
Even though they got whacked in the last game, MD had a nice run in the tournament.
I agree things will be wide open, but just an FYI - Chris Kavanagh and Jake Taylor are back next year on attack for ND. So is WIll Lynch at FOGO.
