The Duke Blue Devils have won the Division I National Lacrosse Championship. The game was won less than 10 seconds after the sudden-death overtime began. Congratulations on a program that has come full-circle, and hats off to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on an amazing season. The game ended 5-6 (OT).

As for next year, go Virginia Cavs!

What's the difference between Lacrosse and Field Hockey? Some schools have one and some schools have the other.

For that matter, what's the difference between a Voilin and a Fiddle?

I know that there is a difference, just don't know what.

I went to Ask.com

Two different games with different origins. In Field Hockey the ball is hit with a stick, in lacrosse it’s carried in a basket attached to a stick. Both require players to be in good shape and stresses running ability.

Hmmm, I didn't know that! I learned something new!

Lacrosse is considered by many to be hockey on grass, and as some would say, the fastest game on two feet. Subbing is done on the fly, and contact is frequent. There are both defensive and offensive schemes, as there is in any sport that involves two sides of the ball. 3 defenders on the field have 6' sticks to make them more efficient in taking the ball away and getting it to their offense. The field is very large, and when two talented teams that are evenly matched are playing, the game is quite high scoring and displays a level of athleticism that is different that traditional sports, but none the less evident. Offense is typically characterized by "dodging," when the man with the ball has been left on an island 1v1 with his defender. Shots are placed on the run, or from a written up play that usually leaves a teams best shooter to pick a corner from distance at 95mph+. On the defensive side of the ball, defenders are large and tough. "Stick checks" and "Body checking" are similar to that displayed in hockey. And most of all, nothing gets fans to their feet more than a goalie making an acrobatic save from point blank range.

Youtube has tons of videos, from shot competitions, to biggest hits of all time, to highlights of every national championship game.

Hope this helps! You answer some questions I had about working out, and I get you back here. ;)

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
