Yes folks, its that time of year again. Its spring time and that only means two things- allergies and lacrosse. Unfortunately, here at SMU, half of the school doesn't even know we have a lacrosse team. Granted, its not a Division I sport and we are in the state of Texas where lacrosse takes a back seat to rodeos. However, I think that the school could do a better job of publicizing the team. Its very ironic that all of our practices are held in the sweet football stadium, yet most of our games are played on the intramural field. Furthermore, on the field there aren't even any bleachers, which is a shame because lacrosse shouldn't have to be watched at field level. For those of you who do know that the lax squad exists either from reading this blog or before reading this blog, come out to a game!
Take this hint: If you come out to a game, stand on the third floor of the Moody Garage and watch out of the window! You'll have the best seat in the house! Check out the SMU Lacrosse Schedule and come out to support the 'stangs!
Tyler I agree with what you say here. Lacrosse is an awesome sport and we are fortunate to have a team here at SMU. I have made it out to a few games and the team looks great. I feel like a lot of people here take it for granted. The physicality of the game combined with the talent and fluidity of the team is not something to miss. I would recommend everyone to go see a game. But the sport is growing all throughout the country and I think it will gradually get more popular here on campus.
