[Neticuss]

what time will it be on for the west coast peps

[ekajsk8er]

what time will it be on for the west coast peps
Probably 4, but you might want to check at 1 anyway, just in case.

And I set my reminder, so today things are coming up ekajsk8er. :agree:

[JLax3]

I set my timer too! I'm really excited!

[spenny]

my tivo is set and ready!

[pantherLax]

Are all the reruns on ESPNU?
If you dong get ESPNU, today at 4 is the only chance to see it? Yes or No?

[Irishlax22]

Im pumped. Planned my day around 4-5 o'clock. :clap:

[BasicTraining]

4 Eastern? What channel is it in NY?

[Eclipse]

Well this sucks...I have practice at 4...so gotta leave here half way into it. We dont get Tivo or ESPNU in dorm rooms...crap.

[Expressgoalie01]

ESPN 2, or 35

A little bit more information, as posted by Adam, which is one of the forum announcemnts, you guys should always read the annoucnemts as they usualy contain some pretty cool information.

And i have no clue what time it will be on on the west coast, im hoping 4 p.m. over there aswell.

And if you miss it today and dont have ESPNU, there is always the possability that ESPN2 will rerun it at some time in the not too distant future. (you could try to tape it?) I mean, ESPN2 reruns poker and womens basket ball... so im sure something as worthwhile as Inside Lacrosse TV's premeire episode will be played at a later time!

[spenny]

adam said in another thread:
The show will be on ESPN2 this Thursday at 4 p.m. and will only be re-aired on ESPNU.

[LvIlLeLaX5]

i am so pumped got my tivo set ready to go lets get this stuff going on every week

[shogunstud31]

School seemed to last forever today. But now, FINALLY, only 20 minutes until the best hour of television ever!!

[czechinthepipes]

Im so excited my tv is set and I cant wait, these next 20 mins are going to seem like forever.

[HdGLaxWarrior]

is this a one time deal? or is it weekly?

[faceofflax15]

erghh, longest 2-3minutes of my life..

[AttackMan17]

Harry Alford is afraid of heights :laugh:

The show's not bad so far.

[Live4It]

It's been pretty good, uhoh...it's back on.

[laxmonkey1]

dude that was like the sadest story ever

[AttackMan17]

Interesting Gait commercial...

[laxmonkey1]

hahahaha warrior commercial is hilarious

[Live4It]

I don't like how Mikey Powell related lacrosse to the X-games.

[laxmonkey1]

I don't like how Mikey Powell related lacrosse to the X-games.
he didnt, the announcer did

[faceofflax15]

I hate relating the xgames and lacrosse, a lot.


And it was mikey that related it.

[Live4It]

Yes, the words actualy came directly out of his mouth, I watched them, and heard them.

[shogunstud31]

I thought that was awesome. I didn't realize how sad the Hoftra story was until they did the piece on it. And they were definatly pushing the Face-Off Classic.. now its going to suck not having anymore lacrosse on TV.. gotta convince my parents to order ESPNU.

[LaxDman62]

It was pretty good. They better eventually have more episodes weekly or something.

[lax16]

PLEASE TELL ME THEY WILL SHOW IT AGAIN TODAY!???

[BoiledEggs]

Best part for me was when they worshiped goalies. Pretty funny actually, they act as if were not human. Great show anyway, i got to order ESPNU.

[Laxmann019]

That hofstra story was pretty sad. I wonder how much this will impact the growth of the sport. I was expecting more talk about the MLL though

[RockfordAttack9]

I thought it was a good preview show. The Goalie segment was interesting, as well as a few highlights I have never seen. The Gait commercial was clever, bad acting yes, but clever.

[JLax3]

I thought the show was pretty sweet! The Hofstra story was really sad. Considering I play girls lax, I was a little disappointed that they only had a one minute coverage on the womens side. Oh well, I guess with the growth of the mens game the womens side will follow. It was cool how almost all the commercials were lax ones.

[BwineLAX42]

I almost pissed my pants when they mentioned DELAWARE LACROSSE on NATIONAL TV!! :rolling:

[TRELAX1201]

that was a great show. I enjoyed the little interview with the powells. The analysis was good as well...I'm looking forward to more of this on espn2

[Conanmonis]

It was good, but not that much stuff. I think one hour a week is not enough. If someone missed it, there is nothing really much to fret about. If you mis the faceoff classic, thats different.

[spike191]

Definatly the best show on TV...im gonna get ESPNU one of these days. So far its great, one day aybe they will air the college games on ESPN2

[Conanmonis]

good news for those that missed the show. If you wanna watch it go to espn.com. Go to the espn video player (Espn GO?) and go to the espn U section. There you can watch the show that was played today

[raykessler]

i didn't think it was that great, but it's sure better than nothing.

[Irishlax22]

That Hofstra Story was by far, the best part of the show. good Show all around.

[Live4It]

That Hofstra Story was by far, the best part of the show. good Show all around.
It was a good story, I don't think it was the best just because it was so sad, but defanitly a great, sad story.

[fenwicklax89]

i turned it on at 345, expecting it to start at 4, but it had started at 3 here. i am sad.

i watched mikey powell jump around doing stick tricks. i hope the rest of the show was more than that

[sammyduelist]

good news for those that missed the show. If you wanna watch it go to espn.com. Go to the espn video player (Espn GO?) and go to the espn U section. There you can watch the show that was played today
It only shows a section and then it goes to hockey.

[EHSLAX12]

it was a great show, i recorded it for a friend, hes gonna come over saturday, watch it and the other games that are gonna play. it was great, especially the goalie section.

[sam.karcher]

I loved the goalie part. For people who have never seen lacrosse before, they made goalies look absolutely insane... although that may be true.

[Mavido]

yeah, the goalie part was most deffinatly my favorite. And i liked the into.... how it went though the pages of the mag, i was diggin it.

But zero TLF representation? i feel.. i feel.. i feel so betrayed! I demand that for the next episode i get to sit behind quint and mod on a 38 inch monitor.. so that everyone can see the modsmenship of TLF.


Oh yeah, you can turn your TV off now.. just so you have my permission.

[toey2516]

It was a good story, I don't think it was the best just because it was so sad, but defanitly a great, sad story.

yeah Nick is officially my hero. I actually play for Headstong lacrosse which is a club team that was created by his friends and family in his honor. His younger bro was actually at our practice a couple times.

[Juan-John]

Pretty good show. I risked my bosses' wrath by taping it on the office TV, but my immediate supervisor just shook his head, smirked and walked away. Didn't actually watch it until I got home, though.

I agree with the lady up above -- there shoulda been more women's coverage, as well as more talk about MLL -- it was mentioned, yes, but I was surprised they didn't use any of ESPN's footage from last summer's Championship in L.A. that Philly won.

But these are just minor quibbles. Just being able to see a Lacrosse-only show on a TV channel that any regular cable subscriber can get was awesome.

[manup5183]

I am very very very pissed. It was 4 eastern 1 western. I missed it and i dont have ESPNU.

yes we are...

it was on ESPN2...the games will be on ESPNU

[czechinthepipes]

It was really good IMO. The intro was awesome and the goalie part was interesting. Also the Hofstra story was really sad kinda got me down but it was awesome. And the rest of the show was awesome aswell.

[Mavido]

it was on ESPN2...the games will be on ESPNU
But it will be reaired several times this week on ESPNU, and i belive (from the way they were plugging ESPNU) that future episodes will be on ESPNU. I dont know if thats a fact, but.. yeah.

[sam.karcher]

booo to that! That's exactly what it seemed like and that is not cool at all. I was so excited because today was on a channel that everybody gets! Including me! so to tease me like that and then have everything else on espnu is wack!

Did they mention when the shows would continue or when powell hour would be on anyways? I was confused about this, it seemed more like a test-episode. Weird.

[faceofflax15]

I like the little syracuse princeton body checking guys that would just randomly pop up on the TV.

[Jugthug42]

I really think that in order for lacrosse to develop, we need to get shows like this during typical viewing hours on REGULAR ESPN, and maybe game coverage. Because seriously, even in the places that lacrosse is just budding (South region) people NEVER get introduced to it. Maybe if they even incorporated a bit more of it into sportscenter. I mean, everyone thinks its a joke until they see it, and than they just get hooked. Its upsetting that a major network isnt more supportive. I'm sick of watching spelling bees, poker, bowling, and fishing all of the time.

Oh yea, and I really really enjoyed watching the program, it was very cool. The story about the Hofstra player was very sad, but it really was done very well. RIP.

[Admin]

Thanks, all - it was a blast to put together. Check out the re-airs on ESPN U, and as a part of next week's launch of "InsideLacrosseTV," a new section of IL.com that's all lacrosse video, all the time. The whole show will run, plus a lot of original programming that we're doing for the web. (We've got a kyle harrison 'cribs' episode in the works - and you can also upload any of your videos to IL's ftp site and we'll run user videos).

Next show will be the season wrap-up. (Also on espn2 with re-airs all summer on espnU).

By the way - we met today on show content for the second show. If anybody has ideas on what you'd like to see featured next time around, let us know.

As I stated in a different thread of yours, it would be really nice to add more wlax. I don't care what kind of wlax you put on there, but there needs to be more. I realize it's not as popular as mlax, but I think (as well as many wlax fans think) IL in general, not just ILTV, is lacking in wlax material and could use a boost. Granted I'm biased, but I really do think IL could do much, much better than what they're producing now when it comes to wlax.

I agree with you 100%! The only mention of wlax in the show on ESPN2 was at the very very end, like the last minute. It is kind of disappionting.

I agree, I play guys lacrosse, and wouldn't mind if there was some more women's lacrosse on, it deserves exposure as well, plus, I'm not great on all the rules women's lacrosse, granted I know a queit bit, a little more never hurts. I think a segment totaly on women's lacrosse would be good, maybe a comparision between guys and girls lacrosse, for the people who don't know much about the difference.

the 30 second talk at the end, well that wasn't really anything, at least some highlights would've made it better.

[CardinalPuff]

it was a good show (it was this thread i missed).....myself, living in Denver, loved the part about the Mammoth and when Q spouted about "Denver being legit" (we'll find out more about DU this weekend :idea: )...

question; did anyone catch the Duke player's latin slogan? can't recall it and would appreciate any help....

[chattlax2]

anyone got a schedule of the re-airs for ESPNU???

[mattlax743]

i was so mad. im used to being at college and 4 meaning 4, but im home for break right now and 4 means 3 now. i caught the last two minutes, and i dont get ESPN U. AHHH!!
