Lacrosse Big XII champ merch is available, and other than being a fan of our lacrosse team, it's worth noting that UF has won the Big XII in the only season it has ever competed in; meanwhile, our friends from the central part of the state are looking for their first title (of course, any title is only a declaration away). [EDIT: I've recently learned that they just split the women's tennis title 3 ways for their first Big XII title] As for seeding, FLORIDA is the overall #4 slated to host #5 Virginia (if seedings hold) on 5/15 (same day as Game 1 for baseball vs. Alabama; hopefully they can coordinate the times for that). Before that happens, however, FLORIDA has to win their first weekend against Mercer and then the winner of Denver/Stanford. If that happens, the game against #5 Virginia (or James Madison/Duke/LIU) will be to advance to the Final Four. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
Our old friends unc in the final 4 if uf gets there. Fell a little behind early and never caught up in the regular season match.
One day we'll break through and win it all. Surprisingly excellent year by the Gators considering all the talent they lost off last year's team. They won several tight games early and then just got better and better.
I almost literally ran into the lacrosse team in downtown Boulder Friday night. Gave a "Go Gators" to a couple of young women wearing Gator gear, then a couple blocks down the entire team was leaving an Italian restaurant* and getting into the team bus. That was fun. Hope the two girls I saw earlier were able to make it onto the bus, come to think of it. *Not a great one. Solid garlic bread, though.
