I must say, I am brilliant! Who else is going?
We are hosting Easter BRUNCH, so we can root on R MLax vs Hopkins!

My family does Easter brunch as well, so I'll be at the Hopkins game.
I'm still trying to figure out why a NIGHT game, on Easter Sunday, would be an issue. Most people I know either a) have dinner post-midnight or b) Sunday afternoon. The game is Sunday NIGHT this really, IMHO, should be very little of a conflict for most.
It’s makes a difference for people who don’t live close and meet with family in the middle of the afternoon.
Of course but my guess is 95% of our men's lax fans live within the hour, right? Again, I understand some have different schedules, I just don't see the 7PM start to be THAT big of a hindrance to getting there but, hey, I could be wrong.
I just find the irony of how everyone makes a huge deal out of football not being on Jewish holidays, but RU fans who are Catholic get screwed by having lax on Easter and no one bats an eye. That said my family fortunately does brunch so I'm in the clear. I just wish the game was on Easter Eve night instead to maximize attendance.
I think most here are 100% against ANY schedule changes, for ANY sport, due to a religious holiday. I have been 100% clear, and outspoken, about this over the years. We are a PUBLIC university. Period. We really shouldn't be scheduling around any holidays purely for religious purposes.
...and I agree. Nobody should complain, either way, about athletic events on religious holidays.
Yes, 95% probably live within an hour. However, some people on Easter have to do an hour or so driving to where they are going and then an hour back. Everyone’s situation is different. That’s a full day if you have to make that many trips
Lots of people start their family gathering at 2, 3 or even 4 pm for Easter.
Personally, I have never heard of post-midnight gathering. Learn something new every day.
Basically what I remember from last year is that Sunday night is the BTN lacrosse slot. Which okay that’s fine, I can live with that. What kinda ticks me off is that we have the Easter night game back to back years. I don’t expect the B1G to really look deep into the schedule when creating it, but it’s still a bummer. Especially since last year we only had two home conference games
RU Lax now #9 in the Media Poll this week. Hopkins is #6. Good time for another signature win to vault the team closer to Top 5 status.
This is a huge game. We must protect the house.
Road wins in the B1G are hard to come by.

RU currently a 1 goal favorite according to Massey.
