Hobart's lacrosse gets dumped from D-1 to D-3

Inside Lacrosse - Hobart to reclassify lacrosse to Division III

I think this was a betrayal.

Hobart's coach, players, and fans are all very upset, particularly the players and recruits, who all came expecting to play D-1 opponents. Now the Hobart Board of Trustees SECRETLY and without ANY input from those who it would affect voted to drop Hobart's lacrosse down to D-3. -CSM

If something happens to an irrelevant sport and doesn't get any mainpage mainsteam sports media coverage, does it really happen?

It's Derby week, who cares.

Actually, just who cares.

I care. The entire lacrosse community cares.

Goddamnit why must everything I be the only one who likes everything I like? Are you telling me I shouldn't care? -CSM

All 15 of you must be pissed.

**Crazyswordsman** · 05-01-2008, 06:15 PM

^All 15 of us. That's why lacrosse is the most attended of the NCAA sponsored national championships. -CSM

Yet it probably draws less ratings than the PINGball world series in Bugaha, Nb.

^I doubt that. You're from the South. You have NO IDEA how DEDICATED people are to this sport where I'm from.

You may not care, but I do. And frankly lacrosse IS America's sport. America's Pastime, definitely not, but it is America's sport, what with it being one of the only sports that was actually invented on this continent before the white man moved in. -CSM

^That's not the main lax forum. Most people use IL and-or LaxPower's forums, which are very heavy with activity.

Oh, and Hobart announced that they're reversing the decision after players, fans, parents, and alumni spoke out. -CSM

It's [one of the] national sports of Canada.

So, nobody cares.

**Crazyswordsman** · 05-02-2008, 01:43 PM

^So it sucks just because it's Canadian, even though it's probably much more popular in Maryland, then (question mark) -CSM

OOHS LORDY LORDY I FORGOTZ MY PLACE ALL US INBRED SOOTHARNERS DONTS NO ANYTHIN AN COODNA POSSBLY ROAMD ANYWHUR PASSD TENNUSEE. I SHOOD JUST GO BACK TO SHOVALAN **** AND FARMIN DIRT.

Pingball gets put on ESPN 1. Lacrosse doesn't. Arguing that Lacrosse matters is insanely silly when it doesn't even get brief mentions on Sportscenter, in SI, or anywhere else but deep corners of sports sites. Arguing Lacrosse counts is like arguing polo counts. I'm sure people love it and are dedicated, but the vast majority of the country doesn't give a crap.

**Crazyswordsman** · 05-02-2008, 01:56 PM

^Actually, the NC game is on ESPN1. And they're increasing coverage because ratings are getting better.

And honestly, saying Pingball matters more is like saying Omaha is more legit of a place than Philly, Baltimore, or Boston.

And I didn't mean to offend you, but to say that nobody cares when most states in the Northeast have very sizeable lacrosse communities is being just as offensive, in a way. It's essentially saying the east coast doesn't matter when it comes to sports. -CSM
