"According to local news, a male sophomore Marquette athlete is likely to be charged with assaulting a couple of police officers last evening. Although he was reported to have an excuse (says he was under the influence of acid) it sounds like he will likely be charged, which means he might miss a game or so. He might be a basketball player. Of course it is possible that he might be a soccer or baseball player. Or even a golfer...."
Well, duh. What else do they have to look forward to? The rantings of a paranoid fanbase that knows deep in their hearts that the only thing that can stop a complete MU ascendancy in hoops as long as Buzz is at MU is off-court issues. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, BADger fans have to hope MU hoopers f up. And if they don't, the buckyboard will invent something.

They should be more concerned with finding a QB who knows how to stop the clock. Boy, what a tough loss...that one had to hurt. Such a shame.
From the stories I've heard as a student, it was one of the Lax Bros. Could face a maximum of 15 years in prison and 50,000 dollar fine. Nice legacy you've left here at Marquette. How can kids be this dumb?
Drugs aren't good for you.
It was a guy on the Lax team. Was hopped up on speed/acid, some pill after a concert is the story I've heard. Considering my source knows the guy, I take it as the truth.

Well, it's pretty bad if new recruits are problematic (I have no evidence that they are), and those same recruits aren't exactly great at their craft. The LAX recruiting class wasn't exactly dynomite...

Nobody would be calling for Buzz's head.
Nobody called for Buzz's head with far more serious allegations a few years back, and they sure wouldn't do so because a kid got messed up and took a swing at a cop.

Well, maybe not calling for his head, but I seem to recall that he got his wrists slapped and that was at least part of the reason for people thinking that his happy was being messed with.
Interesting it is LAX player if it turns out to be true. Back in like 2006 the club team got banned for a year due to partying/hazing if i remember correctly. From my understanding the club team morphed into the official mu team.

Coach Amplo has put the boys on a 24 hour drinking rule for 6 days a week. So no drinking 24 hours before practice 6 days a week.

Anyone dropping meth or LSD isn't what they were and its happened countless times over the last 60 years. What is different is these burbs kids going into a city like Milwaukee and finding buried treasure.

Just as you seek more traditionals of all races, colors and creeds from the dairy farms of Wisconsin for our basketball team, so do I caution against recruiting traditionals of all races, colors and creeds from the wealthy Chicago suburbs for our lacrosse team.

Most of the recruits aren't from chi town. They are from everywhere east of the Mississippi. These kids just want to play D1 against the best. Sometimes meth, hash, heroin and acid detour a kid. It's not a new story. LAX is a new sport at MU and many others and the recruits have been grinding since 5th grade. This isn't a sport with agents lurking in the shadows offering millions to the suckers. Lets hope the other student athletes learn from this boys saga.

Hey, my kid is a high school LAX player and a good kid. In fact, he's on a team full of good kids. Your comment is the same as me saying, "I've never met someone from Kenosha who isn't an inbred fool. The next time I see a Kenosha native with an unimpaired genetic code will be my first."
Both statements are grossly inaccurate and, in my opinion, inappropriate.

Just as an aside, but related to your comment. Jim Brown (of the Cleveland Browns...that horrendously offensive team name to some), was one of the finest lacrosse players in the country at Syracuse. It's certainly made great strides out here. It was non-existent at the high school level 10 years ago, but really popping up all over the place the last few years here.

West coast lacrosse is getting pretty good. Cali, Colorado, Arizona, and Washington all produce a number of D1 players each year and Denver U is constantly making the tournament and advancing pretty far. Really if you get an athlete to pickup a stick it's not too difficult to learn.

Good to see part of NOT being a douchebag is making sweeping generalizations about an entire sports team at MU based on a single individual that acted independent of the team itself by all accounts.
Sanctimony! I was responding to a sweeping generalization (about rugby players) with a generalization about MU LAX. It is the theme of the thread, if you haven't noticed.

Don't compare us to those douchebags. We might take our pants off at inopportune times, but we stick to booze and never hit women. Neither can be said for the Marquette LAX team.
I apologize. Your point is well taken. A Scottish colleague of mine in Jakarta who played rugby noted that, "Rugby is a working class game adopted by the upper class while football (soccer) is an aristocratic sport embraced by the masses."
I have had my head down 20 hours a day for the past two months and had not heard about the men's lacrosse team issues. Unfortunate, really. I would think the coach's ban on alcohol would have been comprehensive. Allowing a one day grace each week tends to stack the trouble. And nothing enforces community self-enforcement than deprivation, a behavioral trait long exploited by the military to drive conformity and compliance.

Isn't there a wheel barrel position in Lacrosse?
Stick length also important? I suppose if you are a defender :P

Stick length is always important, only the ones who can't bring a red wood to the party say otherwise. ;D
